CMA Testing recently signed the Framework Agreement on Jointly Promoting Mutual Recognition of Carbon Footprint Labels in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area with the Guangdong Low Carbon Development Promotion Association and the Macao International Carbon Emission Exchange at the COP31 China Corner in Turkey. With the goal of moving towards the “basic realisation of mutual recognition among Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao”, we will advance the implementation of carbon labelling cooperation in the Greater Bay Area, consolidate Hong Kong’s position as a green professional services hub in the region, leverage Hong Kong’s strengths in testing and certification aligned with international standards, and empower GBA enterprises to “go global” efficiently.
CMA Vice President and Chairman of CMA Testing, Mr. Robert Lok, said the cooperation is a major breakthrough in carbon footprint standards coordination, technical exchange, green supply chain development and market connectivity across the three places. As a professional technical organization participating in COP31 activities in Hong Kong and Guangdong, CMA Testing has fully demonstrated its leading position in carbon footprint management and regional cooperation on the international stage. In fact, CMA and CMA Testing have been working together in the field of carbon footprint management for over a decade, demonstrating remarkable foresight. CMA Testing launched Hong Kong’s first Product Carbon Footprint Label in 2015 and will continue to strengthen Hong Kong’s carbon audit experience, enhance the cross-market value of carbon data, and hopes to extend mutual recognition to other mainland provinces to help enterprises meet international compliance requirements and expand their business.
