ESG

The Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) was established in 1966 to promote, facilitate and develop Hong Kong's trade. 

In online procurement, medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) often face challenges due to their limited brand recognition. Buyers tend to lack confidence in the credibility of their products or services, making it difficult for SMEs to secure deals efficiently.  

Dun & Bradstreet has been working with HKTDC to enhance trust in Hong Kong SMEs on its online procurement platform through the D&B Checked Service. Each year, Dun & Bradstreet verifies company details including corporate background, contact information, and relevant registration documents.  

The T-box program, launched by the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC), is designed to support SMEs in enhancing their competitiveness and achieving transformation in key areas.  

As an ESG Partner recognized by the Hong Kong Trade Development Council, D&B ESG Registered™ service aims to support companies to expand their business, enhance their reputation and attract investors, while achieving their net-zero targets.  

Dun & Bradstreet offered T-box members a two-month discount on D&B ESG Registered™. Companies that successfully complete the required assessments will receive the D& B ESG Registered™ certification, recognizing their commitment to ESG data disclosure.  

Leveraging data from D&B and HKECIC for cross-analysis, this index covers market indices of Canada, Chinese Mainland, Germany, the United Kingdom, and the United States to assess export risks in Textiles & Clothing, Electronics, and Electrical Appliances.

Exporters face risks from geopolitical tensions, trade dynamics, economic uncertainties, and supply chain disruptions.

This index facilitates a clear understanding of the global business environment, identifies risks for upcoming seasons in industries and related products, and highlights comparatively riskier counterparties in the market and industry.

This Hong Kong food enterprise attaches great importance to ESG management and has already implemented a large number of green - related work, but lacks scientific and effective ESG assessment methods and capabilities.

Through Dun & Bradstreet's ESG Registration™ service, this enterprise obtained the Dun & Bradstreet ESG score, online file, logo, and display QR code. The enterprise printed the Dun & Bradstreet ESG Registration™ logo and QR code on the product outer packaging. As a unique highlight, it actively demonstrated the enterprise's ESG achievements and attracted more green - conscious consumers, and also better conveyed the ESG concept.

This Taiwan-based commercial bank in China needs to select a group of potential customers with relatively good ESG performance in combination with the green credit policy, but lacks relevant ESG data of small and medium-sized enterprises to support its green credit strategic direction. 

This Taiwan-based commercial bank in China cannot efficiently screen out enterprises with relatively good ESG performance from millions of local enterprises in accordance with international mainstream assessment methods and at a relatively low cost, as the seed users for green credit issuance. 

Through the ESG assessment data of nearly 80 million listed and non - listed enterprises globally in D&B Data Blocks, combined with the enterprise ESG assessment data obtained through its own active and passive ESG rating methods, this Taiwan-based commercial bank in China generated ESG score data of millions of local enterprises, thus helping the bank quickly implement green credit services. 

This well - known Indian pharmaceutical enterprise is headquartered in Mumbai and is one of the three major pharmaceutical companies in India. The enterprise has formulated a clear ESG development strategy, and one of the important issues is to focus on managing and controlling ESG risks in the global supply chain. 

The enterprise urgently needs to strengthen the risk assessment and management of suppliers and optimize the relationship with the upstream and downstream of the supply chain; and the company lacks an independent and impartial third - party institution to conduct ESG investigation and evaluation of its suppliers. 

With the help of the "ESG Self - assessment Questionnaire Service" tailored for suppliers in Dun & Bradstreet's ESG solution, the ESG performance of 38 core suppliers of this pharmaceutical company in China was investigated and evaluated, and the results were fed back to the pharmaceutical enterprise. Finally, it helped the enterprise achieve ESG risk management of the supply chain and better promote the achievement of the overall ESG goals of the enterprise.

During the process of expanding overseas customers, this company was required to provide information on environmental governance, etc. ESG - related data disclosure was also required during the bidding process. Although the enterprise is of medium size and has no experience in the ESG - related field, it attaches great importance to environmental governance. The company has two manufacturing plants, and in - depth ESG audits are quite challenging for it. 

Relying on Dun & Bradstreet's ESG Registration™ service, this company obtained the Dun & Bradstreet ESG Registration™ enterprise file, score, and logo. As an important material for communicating with overseas customers, it demonstrated the company's practice of independently disclosing ESG information and greatly enhanced the company's comprehensive competitiveness in overseas bidding.
