The Environment Working Group is pleased to invite you to its 2023 Kick-off Meeting, Chair Elections and Position Paper Discussion on Monday 3rd April 2023, 15:30-17:00 at the European Chamber’s Beijing and Shanghai Offices.

In the first part of this meeting, Rachel Zhang, Climate Change Certification Manager of TÜV SÜD, will present a keynote presentation on the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) : What are the implications for European companies ?



From 1st October, the transition period of the Carbon Board Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) will begin, where the embedded GHG emissions of some exported products will be required to be reported on a quarterly basis. These policy changes will impact many European companies operating in China, particularly due to global pledges to reduce carbon emissions. Which industries will be affected and how will the GHG emissions be calculated? How will this be reported? This keynote presentation will outline the CBAM scheme and share some best practices from a verifier’s perspective.

The second part of the meeting will consist of the Chair Elections and Position Paper Discussion. Candidates running for the elections will introduce themselves and their goals for the Environment Working Group over the next 12 months.

Since the onset of the pandemic three years ago, the stringent containment measures taken by the Chinese Government have led to heavy human and economic costs. With China’s abrupt abandonment of its long-standing zero-COVID strategy in late December 2022, it is evident that the central and local governments are trying hard to realise a strong economic recovery and stamp out risks in the property sector – which accounts for approximately a quarter of China’s economy.
