The PRI’s policy team in China is working to support policy makers and regulators across a wide range of policy priorities, including strengthening corporate ESG disclosure requirements, clarifying asset owner’s legal duties, building stronger frameworks for effective stewardship, and providing thought leadership on aligning investments with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). See further details below of PRI’s work supporting stronger sustainable finance policy in China.

China: The PRI welcomes the issuance of the Basic Standards, their alignment with IFRS S1, and MoF’s effort to promote the adoption of ISSB standards and plan for a unified sustainability reporting framework in China. We suggest a few areas MoF may want to consider to further align with IFRS S1 and adopt climate-related standards as soon as practicable.
The PRI welcomes the issuance of the Guidelines and the stock exchanges’ efforts to incorporate internationally aligned mandatory sustainability-related reporting. We suggest a few areas stock exchanges may want to consider to further align with ISSB standards and PRI’s position on the disclosure of sustainability-related issues.
The PRI strongly welcome the proposals of HKEX, the requirements under consultation are closely aligned with exposure draft IFRS S2 Climate-related Disclosures and ISSB decisions related to this Standard. Our response welcomes areas of alignment with the ISSB’s proposals, and highlights where we believe further alignment is needed. We also recognize investors' data needs beyond climate and on wider sustainability issues.
The PRI recognises that taxonomies are a key tool for redirecting financial flows towards economic activities that meet robust sustainability standards and are aligned with high-level policy commitments, therefore, the CGT could be a useful tool to increase the interoperability of taxonomies, on the condition that clarifications and improvements are made regarding its purpose, science-basis, methodology and presentation of criteria.
To ensure that IAMCs are appropriately managing ESG related risks and opportunities as a part of their obligations to clients, the PRI recommends that the proposed regulation should make clear that IAMCs must consider ESG factors in their corporate governance, risk management, investment activities, stewardship, and disclosure practices.

It is crucial that assessing and accounting for sustainability impact becomes a core part of investment activity. That’s why PRI, UNEP FI and The Generation Foundation are leading our work programme “A Legal Framework for Impact.”
