港交所(00388.HK):要求上市公司加快推動董事會多元化
港交所(00388.HK)上市科政策及秘書服務主管伍潔鏇表示,董事會多元化是近年焦點議題之一。港交所引入董事會多元化政策的規定,對上市公司而言是一件好事,並期望能為公司和領導層帶來不同和更多元的觀點,藉此機會檢視內部問題。
她指,港交所已要求上市公司加快步伐推動董事會多元化,由今年開始,成員全屬單一性別的董事會「不會被視為多元化的董事會」。此外,截至去年底,在港超過2,500家的上市公司當中,約800家上市公司仍擁有單一性別的董事會,數目不少。因此,港交所正積極採取更多措施,並與業界達成共識,給予這些公司長達三年的過渡期,委任不少於一名女性董事。
她指,許多獨立非執行董事已留任於董事會長達十年、二十年、甚至三十年的時間,當然明白他們為董事會所作出的貢獻,但亦要考慮公司及董事會需要適時引入新觀點和新思維。因此,在新規例中列明,若所有獨立非執行董事已在任超過九年,便需要委任一名新的獨立非執行董事為董事會注入新觀點。
她續指,港交所今年推出全新資料庫,聚焦於公司的多元化及包容性,資料庫上載所有在港上市公司的資料和數據,包括董事會成員的年齡、性別及任職年期。(ca/k)
