Definition

An investment philosophy that centers on environmental performance, social performance, and corporate governance. It was developed in the 1960s and 1970s in response to the needs of investors and the public. The core ideas of ESG, such as green finance and sustainable development, have a high degree of commonality with China’s long-standing development strategy. ESG also reflects companies’ approaches to creating long-term value and internal institutional building that enables good decision-making, as well as their ability to hedge risks. It serves as a valuable reference for investors to judge the value of any company, improve investment strategies, and make investment decisions.
