Constituents of the HSSUSB are Hong Kong-listed companies with outstanding corporate sustainability performance.

William Ma, Group Managing Director of Kerry Logistics Network, said, "The recognitions we received is hugely encouraging, as that has proven our ESG framework and performance is right on track. And as the global supply chain continues to face various challenges, our sustainability framework would become the building blocks for our efficient operations, environmental and community contributions and effective stakeholders' engagement, helping us to adapt to market shocks and capture future opportunities. Looking ahead, we will continue to follow our sustainability vision and strategy, and create value for the greater community and investors through sustainable logistics solutions."
