Toolkit for an ethical way forward
No longer seen as a mere ‘nice to have’, many employers are now putting major efforts into building an ethical HR practice. In the post-pandemic world, the climate crisis, the attitudes of a new generation of workers and new waves of ESG-focussed regulation on the horizon make this task more urgent than ever. Corporations across the globe are becoming more aware of their impact on the planet and the need to address a whole range of social and governance issues.

Podcast

In this episode, Catherine Leung, partner in our Hong Kong law firm, talks to us about how environmental, social and governance issues are being handled by employers in Hong Kong and the APAC region. We find out what kind of initiatives are being taken and discuss also the impact of the pandemic on the way workplaces now operate.
