Abstract

ESG is increasingly important in the Chinese market, which plays an important role in enhancing the competitiveness of enterprises, attracting investment and promoting sustainable development. In recent years, China has made significant progress in the ESG sector, such as the introduction of sustainability reporting guidelines by the three major stock exchanges and the issuance of statutory disclosure of environmental information measures by the Ministry of Environmental Protection. In the future, with the global emphasis on sustainable development and investors 'recognition of ESG investment, China's ESG market will be broader. This paper summarizes the development of ESG in the Chinese market, and takes two giant Chinese enterprises, Ping An Insurance (Group) Company of China, Ltd. and Haier, to successfully improve their sustainable development ability through the implementation of ESG strategy. To describe the future outlook of ESG in China, that is, the government, regulatory agencies, stock exchanges and other units will continue to promote the ESG concept through multiple channels and at multiple levels, guide enterprises to take the initiative to assume social responsibilities, disclose ESG information, and carry out ESG practice activities. At the same time, we will promote the formulation of ESG information disclosure standards in an orderly manner, accelerate the establishment of ESG rating standards with Chinese characteristics, strengthen the guidance and norms for ESG investment, accelerate the establishment and improvement of ESG regulatory system, and attach great importance to strengthening ESG research and demonstration.
