Driving Sustainable Finance: Integrating Biodiversity into Global ESG Strategies

In 2024, E Fund took further steps in responsible investment by becoming the first Chinese mutual fund manager to join the PRI's Spring initiative, a global effort endorsed by more than 200 institutions with the goal of reversing biodiversity loss by 2030. More recently, a collaboration with the Central University of Finance and Economics led to the development of a biodiversity risk analysis methodology for financial institutions, strengthening its approach to biodiversity-conscious investment.

E Fund's commitment to sustainable investing is also reflected in its comprehensive product offerings, such as E Fund ESG Responsibility Investment Equity Fund, E Fund CSI Yangtze River Protection ETF (Code: 517330), and E Fund CSI SEEE Carbon Neutral ETF (Code: 562990). These funds channel capital into sustainable development sectors, supporting China's dual carbon goals. Through these efforts, the company continues to play a crucial role in advancing responsible investment practices while contributing to global biodiversity conservation.
