CLP Caps a Year of Achievement with Coveted Corporate Governance and Reporting Awards

CLP Holdings (CLP) has won another laurel of recognition for its high standards of corporate governance and reporting after winning two top honours at the Best Corporate Governance Awards presented by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (HKICPA) today.

For the 15th and seventh successive year, CLP has bagged the Diamond Award and the Sustainability and Social Responsibility Reporting Award respectively in the HKICPA competition's Hang Seng Index Category. CLP is the only winner of the most prestigious Diamond Award again this year. HKICPA judges said "the chairman and CEO demonstrate long-term strategic thinking" in an annual report that "continues to stand out amongst its peers in terms of presentation and content. The report is easy for non-technical readers to understand, helped by the graphics, charts and diagrams."

These achievements increased the number of local and international awards obtained by CLP's 2016 Annual Report, online Snapshot and the 2016 Sustainability Report to over 50.

"In this age of change and disruption, it's more important than ever that companies do things right. Winning these awards shows our shareholders, customers, business partners and colleagues that we value excellence in corporate governance. In particular, we are extremely encouraged and humbled by the recognition of our Annual Report and Sustainability Report, simply because at CLP we see corporate reporting as essential to good communication with our stakeholders," said Richard Lancaster, Chief Executive Officer of CLP.

Earlier this month, CLP won the Best Report Award in the Hong Kong Management Association's 2017 Best Annual Reports Awards. The 2016 Sustainability Report was also honoured with the Sustainability Reporting Award in the General Category.

Internationally, ReportWatch, a London-based report rating organisation, has ranked CLP's 2016 Annual Report number one among 43 companies in the energy utilities sector worldwide in its Annual Report on Annual Reports survey. The 2016 Annual

Report was also named a Grand Award Winner in Copywriting in the internationally renowned Galaxy Awards Competition, whereas the Chairman's Statement received a Grand Award from the ARC Awards Competition (Hong Kong/China).
