About this listen

Last year, China issued its Corporate Sustainability Disclosure Standards, aligning its corporate sustainability reporting requirements to the ISSB and the EU’s CSRD with its double materiality approach. But with the EU’s own sustainability legislation in the process of being simplified, has China now become the world leader on sustainability?

This week on the Frankly Speaking podcast, Richard Howitt was joined by Nana Li, Head of Sustainability and Stewardship of the Asia-Pacific region at Impax Asset Management.

Together they discussed what the recently issued Chinese Corporate Sustainability Disclosure Standards mean for Chinese companies, and why China appears to be moving forward on corporate sustainability precisely when the United States and Europe seem to be moving backwards. You’ll also hear more about:

  • China’s Stock Exchange ESG Guidelines adopted last year

  • The impact of the US-China tariff war on China’s sustainability journey

  • To what extent data transparency within China has improved over the past decade

  • The latest updates on China adopting a Stewardship Code for investors
