BDO is an accounting and finance company with offices in over 164 countries, including Hong Kong. It is among the five largest accountancy companies in the world. BDO has been a fixture in Hong Kong since 1981. BDO sponsors the ESG awards to recognize companies leading the way in clean initiatives with a positive influence on the environment. ESG stands for "Environmental, Social, and Governance."

BDO started the awards in 2018 as an incentive for companies to be more conscious about how their products affect the environment and to make efforts to improve the environment through their products. For 2023, BDO set the award's theme for "Carbon Neutrality" to create awareness around climate change issues. BDO hopes for companies to set the goal of net-zero carbon emissions.

The Outstanding ESG Performance for H-Share Companies, which ZTE won for 2023, recognizes companies listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange that represent excellence in meeting the theme's criteria.
