The University of Macau (UM) today (26 February) held a talk titled ‘Responsible Investing in the Gaming Industry’, as the 17th UM Scholar Research Forum. Fu Xiaoqing, professor in the Faculty of Business and Administration, was the speaker. The talk was well attended, with many online participants as well. During the talk, Prof Fu discussed the transformation of responsible investment from a portfolio strategy that typically excludes investments in specific industries (such as tobacco, alcohol, and gaming) to an investment process that integrates environmental, social, and corporate governance (ESG) issues into investment decision-making in order to manage risk better and generate sustainable, long-term returns. She mentioned that this transformation raised the question of whether social responsibility would affect the investment decisions of institutional investors in the gaming industry. She also investigated the impact of Macao SAR Government’s ESG initiatives on the institutional ownership of casino firms in Macao.

澳門大學今（26）日舉行“澳大學人研究講壇”第17講，由澳大工商管理學院教授傅曉青以“博彩產業的負責任投資”為題發表演說。講座現場反響熱烈，並吸引一眾師生線上參與。
講座上，傅曉青談到當前負責任投資從一種避免投資於特定產業（如煙草、酒精和博彩行業）的投資組合策略，轉變為將環境、社會和企業管治（ESG）議題整合到投資決策中的投資過程，以更好地管理風險並產生可持續及長期的投資回報。該演變引發關注，企業社會責任是否會影響機構投資者對博彩產業的投資決策。她亦探討澳門政府在ESG問題上採取的各種舉措對博彩公司機構投資人持股的影響。
傅曉青加入澳大前已累積十年豐富的內地銀行業界經驗，現擔任澳大工商管理學院金融及商業經濟學系教授及工商管理博士學位課程主任。她的研究專注於可持續金融、負責任創新、金融科技、銀行業務和企業管治，並廣泛發表於各種國際前沿學術期刊。
澳大近年在研究創新方面取得顯著成效，澳大研究服務及知識轉移辦公室因而組織開展“澳大學人研究講壇”，邀請傑出的澳大學人以通俗易懂的方式介紹其前沿研究成果，培育通過學術研究創造知識的良好氛圍，引導大眾和青年學生了解研究創新的社會意義和價值，以及與日常生活密切關聯的應用性，提升科學素養。
