ESG is highly compatible with the essential requirements of Chinese modernization. In China, ESG is essentially a practical tool for implementing the new development concept, and it is necessary to build an ESG system with Chinese characteristics under the guidance of the new development concept. In his keynote speech, Shang Fulin pointed out that the environmental dimension of ESG reflects the role of enterprises in the construction of ecological civilization and environmental protection, and contributes to the Chinese modernization of harmonious coexistence between man and natureThe social dimension of ESG reflects the company's responsibility to employees, chain partners and communities, and contributes to the modernization of common prosperity for all peopleThe governance dimension in ESG emphasizes the important role of corporate culture and morality, which contributes to the coordinated development of material civilization and spiritual civilization. From the perspective of the relationship between ESG and the new development concept, "innovation" is the core essence of ESG, "coordination" is the intrinsic essence of ESG, "green" is the practical basis of ESG, "openness" is an important feature of ESG, and "sharing" is the ultimate goal of ESG. To build an ESG system with Chinese characteristics under the guidance of the new development concept, on the one hand, to understand the concern for the people in Chinese-style modernization, and to guide the construction of the ESG system with the new development concept to be people-centered;On the other hand, we should understand the key role of common prosperity in Chinese-style modernization, and use new development concepts to guide the construction of ESG systems to promote common prosperity in a coordinated manner.
Shang Fulin emphasized that the ESG concept is embodied in environmental, social and governance aspects, and promotes enterprises to pursue sustainable development from the single pursuit of economic interests to the pursuit of comprehensive economic, social and environmental value, which is in line with the essential requirements of Chinese modernization. The new development concept of innovation, coordination, green, openness and sharing is organically unified in the practice of Chinese-style modernization. ESG is the concept and approach of integrating environmental, social and governance strategies into business models and management systems, which essentially requires the guidance of new development concepts, and is also a practical tool for implementing new development concepts. It is necessary to understand the key role of people's concern and common prosperity in Chinese-style modernization, and use the new development concept to guide the construction of ESG system to be people-centered and coordinated to promote common prosperity.

Zhu Hongren, Secretary of the Party Committee, Executive Vice President and Chairman of the China Enterprise Confederation and China Entrepreneurs AssociationIn his keynote speech, he focused on the corporate dimension, pointing out that from the perspective of core concepts, ESG is in line with the new development concept, high-quality growth and "dual carbon" goal strategy advocated by the country. From the perspective of enterprise performance evaluation, the ESG concept breaks the traditional single dimension of measuring the quality of enterprise development only by economic indicators, and brings about the transformation of enterprise evaluation standards to diversification and comprehensivenessFrom the perspective of corporate code of conduct, at the regulatory level of ESG, there is a trend of mandatory and standardized ESG regulation around the world.
Zhu Hongren proposed that in 2024, Chinese enterprises will comprehensively promote high-quality development through high-level opening-up and in-depth reform. To accomplish this task, we can give full play to the role of ESG, condense our understanding, improve our development capabilities, and strive to: first, grasp the environmental value, improve the ability of green development, adhere to the value orientation of green and low-carbon, and take ESG as an important reference for the transformation process, and as an important symbol to gain international competitive advantages and be recognized by the capital marketSecond, as good social citizens, enterprises should strive to practice the concept of ESG, create more inclusive, more open and fairer comprehensive value, and actively contribute to the construction of a Chinese modernization with a shared future for mankind and common prosperity. Third, we should grasp the value of governance, improve compliance development capabilities, take the lead in improving the level and ability of ESG governance, and actively disclose reasonable, accurate and effective ESG information.
Li Yuncheng, General Manager of China Water Rights Exchange.
With the deepening of Chinese-style modernization and high-quality development, improving the level of intensive and economical utilization of water resources will surely become a "must-answer" for enterprises to practice ESG concepts, which is both an opportunity and a challenge. Li Yuncheng, General Manager of China Water Rights Exchange. In the keynote speech, it was mentioned that on the one hand, after long-term unremitting efforts, the allocation pattern of China's water resources has been continuously optimized, the construction of the national water network is being accelerated, and the level of urban and rural water supply security has been greatly improved. However, the problem of regional water shortage is still very prominent, and the incentive for enterprises to meet the new water demand through water rights trading will be further strengthened. On the other hand, with the rapid development of the water rights trading market and the continuous emergence of the value of water resource assets, enterprises can not only improve water use efficiency and transfer saved water rights through water-saving technological transformation to obtain benefits, but also take water rights as an important asset of enterprises and carry out pledge financing, etc., to play a role in value preservation and appreciation.
The development of water rights trading has a positive effect on maintaining the healthy life of rivers and lakes, promoting sustainable social and economic development, and improving people's well-being, which is very consistent with the core concept advocated by ESG. The China Water Rights Exchange will thoroughly implement the spirit of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, actively practice the general secretary's idea of "water conservation priority, spatial balance, systematic governance, and two-handed efforts", fully implement the relevant decisions and arrangements of the Ministry of Water Resources for water rights reform, give full play to the demonstration and leading role of the national water rights trading platform, explore the integration of water rights trading and corporate ESG, write "water articles" in the field of ESG water rights trading, and tell the "water story" of ESG water rights trading practice to help the process of Chinese-style modernization with the high-quality development of water rights trading.
