ABOUT THE ORGANIZERS

CCM promotes ESG disclosure mainly through tailoring researches and stakeholder engagement. By including targeted stakeholders in events in which CCM’s relevant researches are shared, stakeholders are very likely to be subject to important ESG information which could lead to key decision making. Based on the research capabilities and consulting experience of the initiator SynTao, CCM has carried out several research projects. Every year, CCM publishes ‘Top 10 CSR trends in China’, ‘Top 10 Responsible Investment Trends in China’, and ‘CSR Manager Survey’. The Material and Quantitative Indicators (MQI) developed by CCM and SynTao received the UNCTAD ISAR Honor 2019. CCM also organizes China SIF and CRO Global Responsibility summit.
