ASrIA has a full year ahead, which opened with the publication of a research report on trends in ESG disclosure by Chinese supply chain companies listed in Hong Kong, ESG-Reality Sets in. ASrIA is taking a leading role in the 2008 CDP process which will see up to 430 Asian companies ex-Japan being surveyed, up from 166 in 2007. This includes the top 100 by market capitalisation in China, 200 in India and 50 in Korea. ASrIA has staged and partnered in forums in Hong Kong, Beijing and Korea to assist corporates in responding to the CDP process. There has been a significant expansion of SRI products during 2007, with particular growth in Korea (see the ASrIA SRI Fund s Portal) which has been recently updated.
