香港聯合交易所有限公司(聯交所)對《企業管治守則》進行了重要更新的公布,其中包括旨在促進董事會的性別多元化的新規則和在2024 年 12 月 31 日前 上市公司必須以分階段形式設立非單一性別董事會的要求。
According to the Analysis of 2022 Corporate Governance Practice Disclosure that was published by the Exchange in November 2023, the percentage of single gender board issuers has dropped by 8% compared to a year ago. However, there were still some single gender board issuers (around 550 issuers) that were not in compliance with this diversity requirement. These issuers were reminded to appoint at least one director of a different gender well ahead of the deadline of 31 December 2024. In order to comply with the diversity requirements, i) the existing single board issuers and ii) any new IPO issuers, are required to appoint different gender board directors who have relevant experience and/or professional qualification to sit on their respective boards.
根據聯交所於2023年11月發布的《2022年公司治理常規揭露分析》,單一性別董事會發行人的比例較去年同期下降8%。 然而,仍有一些單一性別董事會發行人(約 550 家發行人)仍未符合此多元化的要求。 這些發行人必須在 2024 年 12 月 31 日截止日期之前任命至少一名不同性別的董事。
