Kina har indført nye ESG-regler for landets store virksomheder for at kunne tilpasse sig europæiske standarder og tiltrække udenlandske investeringer, skriver ESG-rapportør Sheryl Tian Tong Lee i Bloomberg. Over 400 virksomheder af landets største virksomheder skal offentliggøre bæredygtighedsrapporter inden 2026, der dækker miljø-/ sociale påvirkninger og governance.
Hovedpunkter fra artiklen:
- ” The rules will help standardize reporting in China while reducing greenwashing risks for money managers, according to Boya Wang, an environmental, social and governance analyst at Morningstar Inc. in London. China is looking to bring its regulations in line with Europe, where companies have to make similar disclosures starting this year under the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive.”
