ASSURANCE REPORT
VERIFICATION STATEMENT
Scope and Objective
Hong Kong Quality Assurance Agency (“HKQAA”) has been engaged by Chinachem Group to undertake an independent verification of its “Sustainability Report 2021 – 2022” (“the Report”). The Report stated the sustainability performance of Chinachem Group for the period from 1st July 2021 to 30th June 2022 for its operations in Hong Kong.
The aim of this verification is to provide reasonable assurance of the reliability of the report contents. The Report has been prepared in accordance with the Global Reporting Initiative’s (“GRI”) Standards and its latest Universal Standards 2021 and Appendix 27 “Environmental, Social and Governance Reporting Guide (“ESG Guide”) of the Main Board Listing Rules of The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited.
Level of Assurance and Methodology
The process applied in this verification was based on the International Standard on Assurance Engagements 3000 (Revised), “Assurance Engagements Other Than Audits or Reviews of Historical Financial Information issued by the International Auditing and Assurance Standards Board”. Our evidence-gathering process was designed to obtain a reasonable level of assurance as set out in the standard for the purpose of devising the verification conclusion. The extent of this verification process covered the criteria set in GRI Standards and its latest Universal Standards 2021 and the ESG Guide.
The verification process included verifying information relevant to reporting and management procedures, including stakeholder engagement methods and results and materiality assessment processes. In addition, system and process for collecting, collating and reporting sustainability performance data were verified. Raw data and supporting evidence of the selected representative samples were also thoroughly examined during the verification process.
Independence
Chinachem Group is responsible for the collection and presentation of the information presented. HKQAA does not involve in the collection and calculation of data or the compilation of the reporting contents. Our verification activities are independent from Chinachem Group. There was no relationship between HKQAA and Chinachem Group that would affect the independence and impartiality of HKQAA for providing the verification service. HKQAA’s Code of Conduct with regard to integrity, impartiality and confidentiality has been strictly followed.
Conclusion
Based on the verification results, HKQAA has obtained reasonable assurance and is of the opinion that:
- The Report has been prepared in accordance with the GRI Standards and its latest Universal Standards 2021 and the ESG Guide;
- The Report illustrates the sustainability performance of Chinachem Group in a balanced, comparable, clear, consistent and timely manner; and
- The data and information disclosed in the Report are accurate, reliable and complete.
Nothing has come to HKQAA’s attention that the selected sustainability performance information and data contained in the Report have not been prepared and presented fairly and honestly, in material aspects, in accordance with the verification criteria. In conclusion, the Report reflects truthfully the sustainability commitments, stewardship and performance of Chinachem Group, and discloses transparently their sustainability performance that is commensurate with their sustainability context and materiality.
