2023 China SIF Annual Conference Inviting for Collaboration!

China Sustainable Investment Forum (China SIF), established in Beijing as a non-profit organisation in 2012, is dedicated to promoting responsible investment and providing an internationalised platform for exchanging and sharing ideas on issues concerning sustainable development, with a focus on facilitating Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) integration, advocating green finance, and contributing to a responsible capital market in China as well as its sustainability.

China SIF has held 10 Annual Conferences, 6 Summer Summits, 6 China SIF Weeks, and a series of featured seminars and webinars since its establishment, convening policymakers as well as domestic and foreign experts to share their research findings, industry lnsights, and practical experiences. According to incomplete statistics, over 5,000 guests have participated in China SIF annual conferences and summer summits, with more than 300,000 people engaging in China SIF's past annual events and related activities online. China SIF Week has officially become a flagship event in the ESG field within China.

China SIF has also published a series of landmark reports, such as the China Sustainable Investment Review and has continued to support the Dissertation Competition on ESG and Sustainable Finance. Together with cooperation partners and industry experts, China SIF has developed the "ESG Online Classes", a series of educational videos to promote ESG investment concepts and practices.

ESG investment plays a key role in high-quality development. At the same time, ESG investment should also focus on the quality of its own development. The government and regulators are imposing stricter requirements on ESG investors. In turn, investors also have to pay more attention to the performance of ESG-related investments.

The 11^th China SIF Annual Conference and the 2023 China SIF Week will take place from Dec. 4^th to 9^th 2023. These events are hosted by SynTao Green Finance and co-hosted by the United Nations Environment Programme Finance Initiative (UNEP FI) and the United Nations Sustainable Stock Exchange Initiative (UN SSEi). The theme of this year's Annual Conference is ESG and high-quality development, exploring both the positive impact of ESG on high-quality development and the high-quality development of ESG itself to promote the stability of ESG investment.

The 2023 China SIF Week will also host the inaugural China SIF Expo, providing financial institutions and intermediary organisations with the opportunity to showcase ESG products and services and engage in precise face-to-face interactions with professional experts.

China SIF is committed to establishing a platform for exchanging sustainable development-related topics. So far, over 600 professionals worldwide have expressed their views at various China SIF events. The 11^th China SIF Annual Conference and the 2023 China SIF Week have now opened the guest recommendation/self-recommendation option.
