China's three major stock exchanges – the Shanghai Stock Exchange, Shenzhen Stock Exchange, and Beijing Stock Exchange (BSE) – have unveiled new sustainability reporting guidelines, requiring hundreds of large and dual-listed companies to disclose information on environmental, social, and governance (ESG) issues, starting in 2026. Even though this guideline only covers 450 companies, but they represent around half of the listed market value.

The new disclosure guidelines cover a wide range of ESG topics, including climate change, biodiversity, circular economy, energy use, supply chain responsibility, and social issues such as anti-corruption.

Mandatory reporting is a significant step towards increased corporate transparency and environmental responsibility that will align China with ESG disclosure rules in other countries.

Looking forward to seeing the positive results coming out of it.
