The Company That Has Changed the Way China Approaches ESG Risk

China-i is an ESG risk management advisory firm that has been supporting Chinese organisations formulate and implement their sustainability strategies since 2008. China-i specialises in tailor made ESG risk management solutions for Chinese companies, with an unrivalled experience in the Chinese state owned sector. China-i works with clients on institutionalizing ESG solutions, with a particular emphasis on social and governance matters to improve ROI. Services include upgrading existing risk management systems to include ESG requirements, capacity building in ESG best practice, and ESG crisis management amongst others. China-i is a leader in its field with its unique emphasis on implementing China-specific solutions.

Due to the very practical approach to ESG, materiality has always been foremost in our work. We have therefore always focused on ESG issues which most impact performance in a company. In the course of its experience, China-i has gained a unique insight into the need for greater emphasis on the "S" (social) and "G" (governance) components of ESG. We also approach "E" from social fairness dimensions. We use proprietary research and modelling techniques to help our clients achieve their targets.

China-i has founded a special division specialising in social and governance metrics aimed at financial investors with ESG mandates, with a particular emphasis on China-specific ESG metrics. The unit will launch as a separate entity providing services and products to international investors.
