Financial institutions Taking Actions to Guide Capital towards Green and Low-carbon Industries in China

Meanwhile, the guidelines also encouraged the optimization of investment mechanism and the participation of social capital in green and low-carbon projects. Against the backdrop of fund managers' rising dedication in ESG investment strategies, leading institutions have independently constructed ESG-integrated research database and methodology.

Notably, E Fund has been enhancing its proprietary ESG rating framework to better align with A-shares market characteristics. The rating framework used a combination of quantitative and qualitative evaluation methods to evaluate portfolio companies' ESG performance from three aspects – environmental impact, environmental management and environmental opportunities. In addition, E Fund has published climate risk management framework to effectively monitor and manage the impacts of climate change on investees and investment portfolios.
