Governments worldwide are committing to net zero targets and decarbonisation efforts, though these vary widely between China and Europe. With investors increasingly recognising the financial risks linked to climate change, businesses are further compelled to embed climate considerations into their core values and decision-making processes. This reflects an evolving landscape where sustainability and social responsibility are becoming critical components of the global business model.

Taking place at Asia House in London, this hybrid conference aims to spotlight how businesses can strategically integrate environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors to drive growth and innovation, while considering the nuances of ESG practices in China and the West. This conference will explore recent developments in the ESG landscapes of China and Europe, convening industry leaders to provide valuable insights on navigating ESG regulatory changes across varied global markets, achieving sustainable growth, and tackling climate challenges.

The conference will also highlight an ESG Assessment Map by Professor Zhu Rui, Director of the Social Innovation and Business for Good Center at CKGSB. Professor Zhu will also shed light on her experience mentoring 2,800 executives and business professionals between 2022-2023 to integrate ESG into the core of their businesses and to identify sustainable growth opportunities in China.
