ESG can be called a rising star among the world's popular investment ideas.
ESG is an abbreviation for Environmental, Social and Corporate Governance, and it is also an evaluation standard for the non-financial performance of a company and the long-term development of a company based on the above three factors. Although ESG is a foreign product, it has developed rapidly in China, especially after the "dual carbon" goal was proposed, more and more listed companies and financial institutions have issued ESG reports, taking the ESG concept as a guide for progress.
Financial institutions that implement ESG concepts are responsible for guiding capital inflow into the field of green development while taking into account their own business operations, environmental and social benefits. Among them, with the growth of the public offering industry, the inclusive financial attributes of the industry have become increasingly prominent, and the emphasis on social responsibility has steadily increased.
In terms of policy, in April last year, the China Securities Regulatory Commission issued the "Opinions on Accelerating the High-quality Development of the Public Offering Industry", requiring active practice of social responsibility. It is pointed out that it is necessary to give full play to the advantages of talents, funds and professions in the industry, and increase the participation in social welfare undertakings.
At the same time, the China Investment Industry Association is also guiding the company to practice social responsibility. For 11 consecutive years (2012-2022), the association has released the "Social Responsibility Report of the Public Offering Industry", which mainly shows the social responsibility performance of the industry in 12 aspects, such as helping the development of the real economy, serving the national strategy, and actively participating in public welfare and charity.
As one of the "old ten" public offering companies, Changsheng has always adhered to the corporate mission of "professional financial management for the benefit of the people" since its establishment, earning long-term and stable returns for investors, and actively fulfilling its social responsibilities.
The reporter of "Investment Times" noticed that in addition to afforestation and disaster resistance, Changsheng has also been concerned about the development of education in poor areas and the Xi and growth of children. To this end, the company has carried out the "Eagle Dream Public Welfare Tour" and "One Village Small Library" education assistance projects for more than ten consecutive years, and also opened the "Burning Heart Lights for the Future" teacher psychological care public welfare activities.

Since ancient times, education has been given priority. In order to protect children's right to education and educational equity, policies and plans such as the Notice on Further Strengthening the Control of Dropouts and Improving the Consolidation Level of Compulsory Education and the Modernization of Education in China 2035 have been promulgated and implemented. In addition, the report of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China clearly stated that the strategy of strengthening the country through education should be implemented and the support of talents for modernization should be strengthened. Education, science and technology, and qualified personnel are the basic and strategic support for building a modern socialist country in an all-round way. Standing at the new historical starting point of building a strong country in education in an all-round way, basic education shoulders a special mission and is indispensable for the improvement of rural education.
As a veteran public offering company, Changsheng has been doing its best to contribute to rural education. The "Investment Times" reporter learned that in 2012, the company formed a pair of help with the Chaidamu Primary School located in Alukorqin Banner, Inner Mongolia, and donated 500,000 yuan to the school for the purchase of computers, electronic whiteboards and other equipment, hoping to help children in remote areas broaden their horizons and increase their knowledge with the help of science and technology.
It is worth mentioning that it was from this donation that Changsheng** and Qaidam Primary School started a "fate" of more than ten years. The company's "Eagle Dream Charity Walk" not only donated books and Xi tools to Qaidam Primary School, but also provided grants and scholarships for students with difficult family conditions and excellent Xi studies.
In addition to solving the material scarcity, in order to enhance the soft power of students and broaden their horizons, Changsheng ** organized outstanding student representatives of Qaidam Primary School to visit Beijing, including Tiananmen Square, famous universities, science and technology museums, Yuanmingyuan, etc. At the same time, the company also brought drama performance teachers, foreign teachers, and traditional culture teachers to the students of the school, so that the students could understand and perform dramas and children's dramas, and also let the students experience the unique ** class and traditional Chinese medicine health care class.
Changsheng ** also opened the "Changsheng ** - Chaidamu Primary School Air Classroom" in the teaching activities of Chaidamu Primary School, inviting famous teachers in Beijing to teach wonderful courses for teachers and students thousands of miles away. The teacher uses witty language to teach students about calligraphy and Chinese culture.
No accumulation of steps, no thousands of miles. In the past ten years, with the support of Changsheng ** continuous student assistance and all walks of life, the school conditions and teaching facilities of Qaidam Primary School have been improved, and it has become the school with the best conditions in Horqin grassland.
The road to student assistance is non-stop
As Pushkin said, "Reading is the best Xi." Following the ideas of great men is the most interesting science."
As a public offering company with a strong sense of responsibility, Changsheng ** helps primary schools in Inner Mongolia to improve teaching conditions and expand students' horizons, while its love also blossoms in rural primary schools in Hebei. In order to change the current situation of lack of children's books in rural areas, the company has launched the "One Village Small Library" activity, which has been ten years now.
According to statistics, in the ten years of "One Village Library" activity, Changsheng has successively built or improved libraries in more than ten rural primary schools in Pingshan County, Zhengding County, Tang County, Quyang County, Xingtai County and Huailai County, Hebei Province, and donated more than 30,000 books and thousands of cultural and sports supplies (sets) to send rich spiritual food to children in poor areas. The company also encourages children to make holiday reading plans, write reading notes and after-reading reviews by distributing school Xi supplies, and cultivate a lifelong reading Xi habit that will benefit children.
Changsheng** hopes that through the construction or renovation of the library, students will be encouraged to read more, read good books, work hard to learn Xi, and grow with the fragrance of books. At the same time, it is also expected that these books will open a window for students to understand the outside world and enjoy the fun of reading.
In addition to the education and assistance activities of "Eagle Dream Public Welfare Tour" and "One Village Small Library", which have been carried out for more than ten years, Changsheng ** is also exploring new public welfare projects. In 2022, the company kicked off the "Burning the Heart, Lighting the Future" public welfare activity of teachers' psychological care.
Small kindness trickles, gathering into a river - Changsheng ** micro public welfare has entered rural primary schools for ten consecutive years.
In order to help teachers effectively understand their own mental health status and improve teachers' attention to mental health, Changsheng** launched a public welfare training activity for teachers in Zhangjiakou in August 2022, with "students" including 100 backbone teachers, backbone class teachers, mental health teachers and teacher training managers in the city. During this period, 177 online courses and five days of offline training and exchange were carried out. The course covers the relationship between illness and psychology, how teachers can understand themselves through students, what forces influence teachers' behavior, how to deal with common psychological crises in schools, teachers' careers and burnout, and how to grow from teachers to mentors. In fact, the mental health of students is also a concern. In April 2023, the Ministry of Education and 17 other departments issued the "Special Action Plan for Comprehensively Strengthening and Improving Student Mental Health in the New Era (2023-2025)", which requires building a strong psychological talent team and equipping mental health teachers. Each primary and secondary school is to have at least one full-time (part-time) mental health education teacher, encourage the allocation of full-time mental health education teachers with a professional background in psychology, establish a teaching and research system for mental health education teachers, and assign psychological teaching and research personnel to county-level institutions.
Keeping up with the development needs of the times, in August 2023, the 2023 capacity improvement training activity of Changsheng**'s "Burning Heart Lamp Lighting the Future" Teacher Mental Health Care Program was successfully held, and through systematic professional training, it trained 100 professional full-time and part-time mental health teachers for counties, districts and schools, and provided useful support for solving the urgent problem of shortage of school mental health education professionals.
In the past ten years, the original intention of Changsheng's social responsibility practice is as solid as a rock. It is reported that standing at a new historical node, in addition to continuing to consolidate the foundation of investment and research and continue to provide professional services for investors, the company will continue to practice social responsibility and make its own contributions to the society.
