Speeki helps Hong Kong companies with tracking carbon emissions and building climate reporting.
Hong Kong’s position as a global financial centre comes with growing expectations to lead in environmental, social, and governance (ESG) performance. With evolving regulations, investor demands, and regional climate goals, companies in Hong Kong must go beyond compliance — they must demonstrate ESG maturity, transparency, and purpose.
Speeki empowers Hong Kong businesses to build and report on ESG programmes that meet regulatory standards and unlock long-term value.
Sustainability reporting is now active in Hong Kong according to HKFRS.
The Hong Kong Stock Exchange (HKEX) and the Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) are spearheading a comprehensive reform of ESG reporting to align with the IFRS S1 and S2 standards — with mandatory disclosures beginning in 2025. These standards are known as the Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards (HKFRS) and are fully aligned with IFRS S1 and S2.
For more information on the HKFRS, you can refer to our software reporting page where we discuss the automated reporting that is available from the Speeki platform.
HKFRS disclosures must be made in structured electronic format (e.g. Inline XBRL which is also available from the Speeki platform) in line with HKEX digital roadmap.
Companies are encouraged to seek independent assurance, especially for emissions data, to improve credibility and comparability. These services are also available from Speeki, known as Speeki Guardian® | Assurance for Sustainability Reports.
HKFRS S2 is already active with companies having to publish Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions.
Companies must comply with partial HKFRS S2.
HKFRS S2 is mandatory for large caps from 2026 to publish all four pillars as part of HKFRS S2.
This means the entire HKFRS S2 must be disclosed along with your financial accounts.
Speeki is provider for Hong Kong companies to track carbon scope 1 and 2 and complete all requirements of HKFRS S2.
Speeki offers four core solutions designed to support companies as they adapt to HKFRS S1 and S2, address investor demands and build long-term ESG value.

Where to Start: Three actions Hong Kong companies should take now
Start measuring your carbon emissions now.
It is clear that HKFRS S2 is focused on Scope 1 and 2 emissions.
The first step is to immediately get access to Speeki Carbon Lens® and get this process moving. This will give you time to learn the system and start working on the more complex Scope 3 emissions.
Once you have your Scope 1, 2 and 3, under control you can start building a more comprehensive carbon reduction system and documenting your key activities using the Speeki Platform.
Build Your Team: Get trained with the Speeki Academy.
Sustainability isn’t a siloed initiative — it’s a company-wide transformation.
One of the most overlooked, yet critical, early steps is forming the right internal team to lead and execute your ESG efforts. This means assembling a cross-functional group that may include finance, compliance, HR, operations, risk, legal, IT, procurement, and more.
Next? Get trained. Use the Speeki Academy to cross skills your teams on all things sustainability.
Engage Stakeholders: Identify Who Matters and Start the Conversation
Sustainability is about relationships — with regulators, investors, employees, customers, suppliers, and communities. One of the most important actions companies in Hong Kong can take right now is to map their internal and external stakeholders and define who needs to be involved, informed, or consulted.
This isn’t just a reporting input — it’s the foundation for meaningful, ongoing dialogue that will shape your materiality, strategy, and ultimately, your success.
