The “2024 ESG Global Leaders Conference” was held in Shanghai from October 16 to 18. George Walker, Chairman and CEO of Lubomai Group, gave a speech. Walker pointed out that China has become the world's largest market for issuing green bonds. From 2018 to the end of 2023, the number of Chinese signatories joining the UN Principles for Responsible Investment increased more than sixfold, reaching more than 140. This year, China's three major stock exchanges and the Ministry of Finance successively issued guidelines on sustainable information disclosure, providing a comprehensive disclosure framework for Chinese companies, marking an important step in establishing a unified and comparable sustainable disclosure system. Investors will receive more forward-looking quantitative information, so they can better assess financially substantial ESG risks and opportunities, and then make more accurate asset pricing and smarter investment decisions.
