Beisen Releases the First ESG Value Accounting Report in the Global Software Industry, Empowering Sustainable Value Creation with Digitalization

On January 28, the 2026 International Forum on Impact Investing was successfully held in Hong Kong. The forum focused on the theme 'Action for the Long Term: Building a Resilient Future Together,' emphasizing that impact investing must balance economic, social, and environmental sustainability to drive impact investing from concept to scalable practice. In response to this industry consensus and its practical implementation, Beisen Holdings (9669.HK) officially released its first 'ESG Value Accounting Report' ('Report') on January 28. This report provides a more comprehensive and accurate measure of corporate performance, offering a key reference for quantifying ESG value in cross-border investment contexts.

As the world's first ESG Value Accounting Report in the software industry and the first Hong Kong-listed company in China to disclose such a report, this publication innovatively incorporates environmental and social factors into the long-term corporate value assessment system. It scientifically quantifies Beisen’s practices and core values in the field of sustainable development.

The report was prepared in accordance with the 'China Listed Companies ESG Value Accounting Report (2023)' published by the China Association for Public Companies. By integrating authoritative methodologies from both domestic and international sources, it maintains international credibility while considering local adaptability and scientific rigor. Leveraging the specialized accounting of the OneESG platform, which aligns with listed company value accounting, the report systematically discloses Beisen’s contributions to the environment (E) and society (S), providing a referential practical model for ESG value accounting in the software industry.

The report shows that in the 2024/2025 fiscal year, Beisen generated a positive impact value of 128.3 million yuan for society and the environment. In the Hang Seng 'System Development and IT Consulting' sub-sector ranking, Beisen ranked third among 60 companies. Specifically, the company created social value of 63.3 million yuan by promoting gender equality in employment, contributed 61.2 million yuan in social value through full-cycle employee training and fair promotion channels, and achieved an environmental value of 8.6 million yuan via public cloud services and green office models. This outcome far exceeds the industry average – the average net ESG value of IT companies in the OneESG sample during the same period was -32.5 million yuan, highlighting a significant competitive advantage in the industry.

In terms of environmental dimensions, Beisen has effectively promoted greenhouse gas emission reductions across its downstream value chain through technological innovation, creating measurable positive environmental value. Its SaaS and public cloud services help customers reduce carbon emissions by approximately 33,300 tons of CO2 equivalent annually, generating 8.6 million yuan in environmental value. Internally, the company has fully implemented paperless offices, online interviews, and remote learning, reducing carbon emissions by 1,101.0 tons of CO2 equivalent per year, corresponding to an ESG value of about 0.3 million yuan.

In terms of social value creation, Beisen has built a value creation system centered on talent development. The AI Family 2.0 product suite launched in 2025 covers more than 50 core human resources scenarios from recruitment to employee services, with over 500 AI features. These not only free HR professionals from repetitive tasks but also create broad social value through diverse functions. The AI recruitment assistant optimizes talent resource allocation, preventing the waste of societal talent; the AI course creation assistant lowers the threshold for knowledge sharing, significantly reducing training costs for multinational companies; and the AI learning assistant and leadership coach empower employees for lifelong growth, improving workplace ecosystems.

Customer feedback shows that Beisen's AI Family 2.0 products have helped companies achieve significant results, such as reducing the recruitment cycle by 38.3%, cutting the time for new hires to work independently by 67%, and increasing HR efficiency more than tenfold. Additionally, Beisen continues to create positive value for society through direct philanthropic investments, promoting gender equality, strengthening employee training, and supporting common prosperity.

Beisen Holdings stated: As the company ranked first in China’s HCM SaaS market share for nine consecutive years, Beisen firmly believes that the value of technology lies not only in commercial success but also in positively empowering society, the environment, and all stakeholders. Currently, Hong Kong is leveraging its unique advantages to become a key hub for global impact investing, and the hosting of the 2026 International Impact Investing Forum has fostered widespread consensus for industry development. This report represents a systematic review of our ESG practices and serves as an action initiative for the sustainable development of the industry. We hope to provide clear decision-making references for cross-border impact investing with quantifiable value outcomes.

Looking ahead, Beisen will systematically integrate the results and insights of ESG value accounting into corporate governance and operational decision-making, proactively managing and addressing ESG-related risks. By formulating a clear action plan, non-financial risks can be transformed into innovation drivers, thereby enhancing the company’s operational resilience in complex environments. Meanwhile, we will continue to deepen exploration in the field of ESG value accounting within the software industry, continuously improving the accounting framework and enhancing data granularity and coverage. For industry-specific issues like public cloud cost reduction, data security, and digital carbon reduction, we will focus on developing more scientific and precise quantification methods and actively promote these methodologies to become replicable and scalable industry standards, providing the 'Beisen Solution' for the sustainable value assessment of software enterprises.
