HONG KONG, June 12 (Xinhua) -- The Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) government on Thursday welcomed the publication of jurisdictional profiles by the International Financial Reporting Standards Foundation (IFRS Foundation), which confirmed Hong Kong as one of the first jurisdictions to have set a target of fully adopting the International Financial Reporting Standards -- Sustainability Disclosure Standards (ISSB Standards).
The IFRS Foundation's move affirmed Hong Kong's efforts and determination in supporting and promoting a common international language in sustainability disclosures, said Christopher Hui, secretary for financial services and the treasury of the HKSAR government.
