Since 2014, Hang Seng Indexes Company has engaged the Hong Kong Quality Assurance Agency (HKQAA) to conduct annual evaluations of the sustainability performance of listed companies. These ratings serve as a benchmark for corporate ESG performance and play a critical role in the selection of constituents for Hang Seng Indexes Company’s ESG indices. Drawing on international standards and frameworks, HKQAA assesses the sustainable management systems and associated risk levels. A fact-based scoring methodology is applied to evaluate each company's ability to manage sustainability performance and risk. Assessments are grounded in verifiable implementation evidence, which is used to determine both the maturity of the management system and corresponding risk exposure.

Published by Sino-Securities Index Information Service (Shanghai) Co. Ltd, the Sino-Securities Index (SNSI) ESG Rating adopts internationally recognized methodologies and best practices. Grounded in core global ESG principles and tailored to China's national context and capital market dynamics, the SNSI ESG Rating System provides comprehensive environmental, social and governance assessments for issuers of Chinese A-shares, Hong Kong-listed stocks and other securities. The system covers all A-share listed companies and nearly 700 major Hong Kong-listed firms, representing approximately 95% of Hong Kong's total market capitalization. By integrating both traditional and alternative data sources, the ratings are updated on a quarterly or monthly basis and evaluate ESG performance and risk levels. Companies are assigned ratings on a nine-tier scale, ranging from "C" to "AAA".
