Book excerpt: China, officially the People's Republic of China, includes Mainland China and two special administrative regions, Hong Kong and Macao. The political, legal and economic systems of Mainland China are different from those of the special administrative regions. The development stage of responsible investment (RI) in Hong Kong is more advanced than that in Mainland China, while RI in Macau is still under-developed and has rarely been discussed. Therefore, this chapter uses data from Mainland China to avoid ambiguity and maintain clarity.RI in China differs from the conventional definition that incorporates financial objectives with additional considerations of environmental, social and corporate governance (ESG) criteria into the investment process. In the Chinese context, RI signifies the adoption of four selection criteria - economic indicators, ethics, sustainability and legal issues; hence these criteria represent preferences towards government policy, tax and legal requirements in portfolio selection. RI mutual funds in China can be ESG inclusive, fully integrating ESG criteria into investment, or ESG themed, such as environmentally-friendly funds, low-carbon funds and sustainable investment funds. Besides RI mutual funds, institutional and individual investors can also invest in ESG-themed pension funds, life and property insurance, renewable energies, green projects, etc. Compared with RI mutual funds, RI applied to other asset classes, such as venture capital, hedge fund and private equity, are relatively insignificant. This chapter seeks to provide an overview of RI in China. It begins with a statistical overview of China's social and economic background in order to provide some thoughts on the driving forces of RI. It is followed by reporting the historical progress and state of the RI market in China and showing the rapid growth of the RI mutual funds industry. It then discusses the practices of RI institutions, aiming to provide a deeper understanding of support and engagement activities in China. It further briefly discusses the most urgent ESG risks, the most risk-exposed industries and the most controversial companies in China. In the end, it provides suggestions to promote the development of RI from both policy and investment perspectives.

Book excerpt: Calling for more cooperation between China and the west, this new book by noted author and educator Cary Krosinsky provides readers with an on-the-ground perspective of what’s really happening in China today on the back of its recent economic rise, its desire and need to solve environmental challenges and the new positive dynamic created by its need for foreign capital. In doing so, Krosinsky and his colleagues from the Sustainable Finance Institute and Brown University highlight how China has recaptured its role as a leader in innovation, arguing that current approaches to the relationship hinder global progress on issues such as climate change, inequality, air pollution, food integrity and water security and pushes back on confrontational approaches and attempts to clarify misperceptions about contemporary China. China’s recent rise includes becoming a global leader on green policy and green finance, as it is increasingly leading the way towards modernization through innovation strategies focused on infrastructure, education, healthcare and aspects of clean energy technology, leading to opportunities across private equity, venture capital and green bonds. This creates an exciting opportunity for positive change, with environmental challenges becoming more salient to its own population, adding pressure on the government to provide solutions. China changes faster than any country in the world, creating an opportunity for meaningful, ongoing, positive transitions. Modern China is a call for more cooperation, and makes a clear, cogent case for collaboration in the face of current confrontational approaches. At the same time, dire environmental and social circumstances require an all-hands-on-deck approach. This book provides specific examples of what’s working and what’s needed to compete and thrive in this new paradigm through trusted relationships placed front and center for the future of economies and the betterment of global society.

This book was released on 2018 with total page 31 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chinese financial institutions are playing an increasingly important role in Chinese companies' investment overseas in the context of China's One Belt One Road Initiative (OBOR). While the financial support is flowing under OBOR, one concern is the management of environmental and social risks by Chinese financial institutions, particularly in countries with weak environmental governance. Questions have been raised on whether Chinese financial institutions are properly incorporating social and environmental risk into their investment overseas, and on the extent to which the project cycle is governed by financial institutions in a transparent and accountable manner. The integration of environmental, social considerations into its business operations and lending practices, is pivotal to embrace the sustainable development of Chinese foreign investment in the long-term. Few scholars have generally examined Chinese financial institutions' social and environmental governance of their overseas financed projects during OBOR construction. This paper fills this gap by analyzing the role of financial institutions in promoting sustainable investment. Beyond scholarly contributions, this paper has practical policy implications. It provides a better understanding on how to promote the development of Chinese financial institutions' environmental and social protection frameworks and the inclusion of environmental and social considerations into their lending and investment policies. The paper first outlines the relationship between environmental and social risks with Chinese financial institutions and advocates the necessity to develop green finance in ensuring that China's overseas investment is made in a manner that is green, inclusive, and accountable. The paper further introduces Chinese and Chinese-led financial institutions participating in OBOR and China's policy development of sustainable lending and investment. Through comparing the environmental and social protection framework between Chinese financial institutions and multilateral financial institutions, the paper proposes policy and management suggestions to promote China's sustainable financial investment in the future.

Book excerpt: Corporate social and environmental responsibility (CSR/CER) can be understood as practices which voluntarily extend beyond mere compliance with mandatory social and environmental standards. Corporate social and environmental responsibility: Another road to China’s sustainable development , by Mengxing Lu, contributes to the current debate of CSR/CER by providing a legal and economic analysis of CSR/CER and its relationship with regulation. Although the development of CSR/CER is at an early juncture in China, it is nevertheless a prominent topic for Chinese policy makers and business leaders alike. By depicting the landscape of CSR/CER in China, Corporate social and environmental responsibility: Another road to China’s sustainable development successfully demonstrates the vast potential for CSR/CER’s contribution to China’s sustainable development.

Book excerpt: The importance of foreign investment to China goes well beyond the USD 1.6 trillion in investment received since its opening. The unique analysis in this book shows that the investments, operations, and supply chains of foreign enterprises have accounted for roughly one-third of China’s GDP in recent years, and that foreign enterprises have made numerous additional contributions to China through technological, managerial, business practice, supply chain, and other spillovers. This book shows how China’s leaders managed this process and provides lessons for policy makers interested in building their own economies and tools for companies to demonstrate their contribution to host countries.

Book excerpt: In early 2010, Cleantech investment pioneer Tsing Capital was planning for the China Environment Fund IV and considering how to maintain its commitment to social and environmental practices. Tsing Capital embraced its philosophy of "Doing Well by Doing Good" and developed a proprietary system to manage social & environmental functions throughout the investment process. Some of the specific questions examined in the case are: with a more diversified investor base, how could the firm balance the different expectations of investors and continue to achieve "Doing Well by Doing Good"? Despite the increasing importance of social & environmental practices, they also had a cost for the firm and its portfolio companies. How could the firm most effectively motivate its portfolio companies to actively integrate social & environmental practices with their strategies?Learning Objective: To examine the process of socially responsible investment and discuss the tactics of how a company balances financial, social and environmental returns.

This book was released on 2015-02-18 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chinese investment in Africa has increased greatly in recent years. In Cameroon, the years following the last global financial crisis saw a boom in Chinese investments in the rubber industry, in particular in rubber estates belonging to two companies: Sud-Cameroun Hevea SA and GMG HEVECAM. These investments come from Sinochem, one of the largest Chinese state-owned multinationals, and involve the rehabilitation of existing rubber estates, as well as expansion into new areas. Since the initial investment from China, exports of rubber from Cameroon to China increased from almost none to nearly half of total rubber exports in 2011. We conducted research into the nature and extent of Chinas investment in the Cameroonian rubber sector and assessed initial findings through the lens of socially responsible investments (SRI). Overall, the picture shows that the two investments are subject to a number of governance challenges, particularly in relation to land allocations.

Book excerpt: By retrieving entries from the financial-data vendor Wind and collecting relevant data from private placement statements, the author builds a proprietary database and studies five aspects of private placement in China. He examines which listed firms are more likely to choose private placement over SEO in refinancing; he looks into the controlling shareholder’s decision on whether or not to purchase privately placed shares; he investigates how the offer discount is determined; he calculates announcement periods for abnormal returns on private placements. Where the abnormal return is significantly positive, he documents positive long-run abnormal return on private offerings and evidence supporting the under-reaction hypothesis. Finally, he concludes that the largest shareholders tunnel by means of excess discounts from which they benefit but which is harmful to other shareholders.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During Latin America’s China-led commodity boom, governments turned a blind eye to the inherent flaws in the region’s economic policy. Now that the commodity boom is coming to an end, those flaws cannot be ignored. High on the list of shortcomings is the fact that Latin American governments—and Chinese investors—largely fell short of mitigating the social and environmental impacts of commodity-led growth. The recent commodity boom exacerbated pressure on the region’s waterways and forests, accentuating threats to human health, biodiversity, global climate change and local livelihoods. China and Sustainable Development in Latin America documents the social and environmental impact of the China-led commodity boom in the region. It also highlights important areas of innovation, like Chile’s solar energy sector, in which governments, communities and investors worked together to harness the commodity boom for the benefit of the people and the planet.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Responsible investment is going through a period of rapid change, from voluntary to mandatory, with regulators working to tackle greenwashing, investors responding to client and savers' demands, a proliferation of new sustainability themes and increased focus on real-world impact. Responsible investment is also ‘growing up’. And part of growing up is acknowledging limits and complexities, and making difficult decisions. Responsible investment has got this far by sticking to the script and not talking about the awkward bits in public. But this is no longer an option, and so it’s not surprising that it draws its critics. Part textbook, part briefing, part storytelling, this book is a personal and accessible account about the growth of an industry, what it’s got right, what it’s got wrong and if responsible investment is to matter, where we go next.
