As Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) considerations become increasingly central to corporate strategies worldwide, businesses operating in China and Europe face growing expectations to integrate sustainable practices into their operations. From regulatory compliance to supply chain transparency, ESG presents both challenges and opportunities for companies of all sizes.

To foster collaboration and knowledge exchange between European and Chinese businesses, we are pleased to invite you to “ESG in Sino-European Cooperation – Working Together for Sustainable Growth.” This half-day event will bring together industry leaders, policymakers, and sustainability experts to explore ESG implementation and reporting across industries and jurisdictions, discuss regulatory requirements, and share best practices.
