President’s Message

For good reason, the need to mitigate and adapt to climate change has been a core focus of ESG frameworks in recent years. Nevertheless, there has been a growing awareness that the focus on climate change may have obscured the importance of addressing a related and equally grave threat to our planet and human well-being – biodiversity and ecosystem health.

近年来，减缓和适应气候变化这一需求理所应当的成为环境、社会和治理框架的核心关注点。然而，人们越来越意识到，对气候变化的关注可能使人们忽略了解决生物多样性和生态系统健康威胁的重要性，这同样事关我们的地球和人类福祉。

This year, as many readers of this journal will know, is a double anniversary for our Institute. It is 75 years since the first association of Chartered Secretaries was established in Hong Kong and 30 years since the incorporation of The Hong Kong Institute of Chartered Secretaries, our precursor body.

如大家所知，今年是公会的双周年纪念。首先，今年是第一个非正式特许秘书小组在香港成立75周年， 以及公会前身一香港特许秘书公会作为 香港本地独立专业团体成立30周年。
