In May 2024, the Ministry of Finance launched a call for comments on the Corporate Sustainability Disclosure Guidelines - Basic Guidelines (Draft for Comments).This initiative attracted significant attention from businesses across various sectors. Once implemented, this policy will represent a major step in China's transition from a voluntary to a mandatory corporate sustainability disclosure scheme, demonstrating the country’s dedication to sustainable development and corporate transparency.
This policy is also of great importance for foreign companies conducting business in China, as it not only aligns with the global standards they have been following in other markets but also ensures their ability to effectively navigate China's regulatory environment. Understanding and complying with China's evolving ESG requirements will be crucial for maintaining compliance, improving corporate reputation, and fostering long-term business success in the Chinese market.
To provide participants with a comprehensive understanding of the direction of the ESG-related policy framework and Beijing’s local practices in building the ESG service market eco-system and green trading system, the European Chamber’s Corporate Social Responsibility Forum is pleased to organise a forum meeting on the development prospects of China’s ESG disclosure policy system. Mr Mei Dewen, Vice Chairman of China Beijing Green Exchange, will make a sharing on Beijing’s local ESG disclosure framework and the policy direction of the national unified carbon market. This meeting will stand as an opportunity for face-to-face interaction with the expert involved in developing this policy scheme in China to gain practical advice for driving sustainability compliance work in the future.
