🌳Environmental Social Governance

HKD.com ESG Overview

At HKD.com Limited, an International Business Company incorporated in the Republic of Seychelles, and of company number 235204 ("HKD.com"), we believe that sustainable business practices are integral to the creation of long-term value for society. We are committed to being a good corporate citizen and bringing value to our stakeholders through the integration of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) considerations in our business practices.

We shepherd the resources and relationships we rely on to create and protect values for our stakeholders. In particular, HKD.com aims to be carbon neutral, and neutrality will initially be achieved by purchasing carbon offsets that are blockchain or distributed ledger technology-based instruments, in line with HKD.com’s industry positioning.

As a leading player in a fast-moving space, we are positioned to shape the industry’s future. We recognize our responsibilities to our stakeholders and the importance of leading by example in a space where sustainability practices are relatively nascent. We are also excited at the opportunities for bringing innovation, digitalization, and blockchain technology into the ESG realm.

We communicate our approach and strategy on sustainable business practices to our key stakeholders through daily business operations, such as regular meetings, the company website, social media platforms, training, emails, and other activities. Our key stakeholders include shareholders, potential investors, government agencies and regulators, counterparties, liquidity providers, customers, employees, industry groups, and communities.

We take an active approach to identifying and creating ESG values and integrating them into HKD.com’s policies and systems, including our daily business behaviors, and operational practices.
