Since the United Nations Global Compact proposed the concept of ESG in 2004, ESG investments have evolved over a span of 20 years. During this period, the ESG philosophy gradually integrated into the mainstream, fostering rapid development in sustainable finance on a global scale. According to the Global Sustainable Investment Alliance (GSIA), the global assets under sustainable finance now exceed USD 30 trillion. In China, as per statistics from China SIF, the overall ESG assets have surpassed RMB 35 trillion.
The theme of the 12th China SIF Annual Conference and 2024 China SIF Week is "20 Years of ESG: Retrospect and Outlook of Sustainable Finance". It aims to review the birth, development, and evolution of ESG concepts, combining them with the current status of green finance and ESG development in China. The Annual Conference will delve into hot topics surrounding the current ESG development and anticipate future opportunities and challenges in sustainable finance.
