The awards which celebrate the excellence of Australian firms across China are organised by the Australian Chamber of Commerce in Hong Kong and Macau, in association with Australian chambers in Beijing, Shanghai, South China, Taiwan and Fujian.

RepuTex was recognised for its work with leading Chinese and Asian financial market firms, particularly its relationships with Hang Seng Index Company and the Shanghai Stock Exchange.

“RepuTex’s emissions insights and intelligence across the Asia Pacific markets is poised to grow in line with new regulations in mainland China and Australia” said Martha Grossman, Director Asia.

RepuTex’s coverage takes in 95% of market capitalisation in Asia (ex Japan) including China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Korea, India, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Philippines and Thailand.  Services also extend to unlisted or private companies, government organisations and institutions.  The company provides data, benchmarking and performance analysis on ESG and carbon risk exposures to financial markets, corporate and government clients worldwide.

The Hong Kong team has recently introduced training services to meet demand from Asian companies seeking to understand ESG and carbon related risks as these increasingly become material.

According to RepuTex: 

• Before any carbon costs are passed through, S&P ASX 200 companies are expected to face cumulative direct and indirect carbon costs (after Government Assistance) of approximately AUD $33.4 billion from FY 2013 through to FY 2022.
• RepuTex estimates that 43% of the above cost, or $14.6b, is expected to be passed through to consumers, leaving S&P ASX 200 companies liable for $18.7b over the 10 year period.
• All firms will be exposed to an indirect cost through the purchasing of electricity and supply chain inputs. These liabilities account for 43% of the total S&P ASX 200 carbon cost.
• Mid and small capitalised Materials and Industrials companies face the highest earnings impacts due to their lower revenues and generally lower levels of diversification.

Over the same period, RepuTex predict that Australian power industry emissions will drop by 9% (equal to a 5% reduction from 2000 levels) and generation from brown and black coal is expected to reduce by 40% and 20% respectively by 2020.

Full findings will be made available in a forthcoming report with Standard & Poor’s.

Milder weather across mainland states in August led to a decrease in emissions from Black Coal in New South Wales and Queensland. Increased gas output and higher wind generation in southern states is likely to see further reductions in September. To year end FY 2011-12, RepuTex project a 3.7% year-on-year increase in power emissions, coming off a low base in FY 2010 due to low demand as a result of La-Nina climatic conditions.
