Workshop B

From ISSB Readiness to Stakeholder Engagement: Building an End-to-End ESG Reporting Journey

10 Sep (Thur) Day 1 : 14:00 – 15:15

As ISSB-based sustainability reporting becomes mandatory across Hong Kong and many other Asian jurisdictions, organizations need more than compliance – they need an effective end-to-end reporting process.

In this joint workshop, KPMG Hong Kong and Tangelo will demonstrate how organizations can build an integrated ESG reporting journey, from understanding ISSB-based reporting requirements and establishing robust governance and data collection processes, through to producing high-quality sustainability reports and engaging stakeholders through modern digital reporting.

KPMG Hong Kong will share practical insights into materiality, value chain considerations, gap analyses, governance, and change management. Tangelo will demonstrate an integrated ESG reporting workflow, showing how organizations can streamline data collection, report production, and digital publication.

Using the award-winning Swire Pacific Sustainability Report as a real-world example, we will conclude by demonstrating how a modern sustainability microsite transforms a sustainability report into an engaging, accessible, and transparent digital experience.

Session Learnings:

  • Understand how ISSB-based reporting requirements are shaping sustainability reporting across Asia.
  • Learn how to establish a controlled, auditable ESG reporting process from materiality assessment to publication.
  • See how integrated ESG data collection and report production can improve efficiency, governance, and reporting quality.
  • Discover how digital sustainability reporting can increase stakeholder engagement beyond regulatory compliance.

Post-Event Actions:

  • Assess your organization’s readiness for ISSB-based sustainability reporting.
  • Identify opportunities to strengthen ESG data collection, governance, and reporting workflows.
  • Evaluate how digital reporting can improve stakeholder communication and transparency.
  • Develop a roadmap towards an integrated, end-to-end ESG reporting process.
