On Thursday's Backchat, we will take a look at how the government's new roadmap on Environmental, Social and Governance -- or ESG development -- for the logistics industry is being received by local businesses.

The roadmap, which covers a three-year period from 2025 to 2027, adopts a three-stage approach for logistics SMEs to build up their ESG data collection and reporting capabilities, and meet the most stringent international ESG disclosure requirements by the time the roadmap expires.

What is the current state of ESG implementation in the industry, and how challenging will it be for SMEs to comply with the requirements laid out in the roadmap? We'll find out from a lawmaker.

After that, we'll dive into the world of sports medicine, after Chinese University and the Hong Kong Sports Institute recently partnered to strengthen cooperation on bolstering medical support for the city's professional athletes.

After the break, we'll speak to a lawmaker about the government's plan to regulate borrowing activity for low-income earners and impose stricter rules for loan "referees."

And to wrap things up, we'll find out from a police bomb disposal officer about a war-era military equipment that was recently discovered at a construction site in East Tsim Sha Tsui.

As always, we want to know your thoughts. You can call us anytime at 2338-8266, WhatsApp 6899-8518, email backchat@rthk.hk or comment on our Facebook page.

On Thursday’s show, James Ross will be joined by Ben Emons, who is Chief Investment Officer/Founder, Fed Watch Advisors and Chief Market Strategist at Strategic Fortune Wealth and Kenny Wen, market commentator and author, for our markets discussion.
In Your Money, Carolyn Wright asks Daniel So, Hong Kong Manager at WorldPay what we all need to know about payment fraud.
And we’ll get a View from the US with John Terrett, our US markets correspondent.
