Kerry Logistics Network Limited (‘Kerry Logistics’; Stock Code 0636.HK) was honoured with the Hong Kong Corporate Governance Excellence Awards 2018 (the ‘Awards’), which was jointly presented by The Chamber of Hong Kong Listed Companies and the Centre for Corporate Governance and Financial Policy of the Hong Kong Baptist University at the Grand Hyatt Hong Kong last night. It marked the second time Kerry Logistics has won the accolade since 2015.
Organised annually since 2007, the Awards confer recognition to listed companies for their outstanding commitment to shareholder rights, compliance, integrity, fairness, responsibility, accountability, transparency, board independence and leadership, corporate social responsibility, and exhibiting a holistic approach to business ethics. The honourees were first assessed by an expert review group on their corporate governance and/or sustainability performance, and then selected by an award judging panel comprising leading members of the securities and investment markets and the area of corporate governance based on an interview with the company’s core corporate governance team.
Kerry Logistics shone with its diversified board and notable initiatives, including an effective stakeholder programme which has been implemented to understand external concerns for aiding in the formulation of its business and development strategies.
William Ma, Group Managing Director of Kerry Logistics, said, “We are delighted to be recognised once again for our tireless dedication to maintaining the highest standards of corporate governance. We would also like to express our gratitude to the esteemed experts and judges for awarding us this honour. Accountability and transparency are the watchwords of our corporate value; we do our utmost to enhance corporate value and safeguard shareholders’ interests and rights.
