The rating comprehensively covers the core entities of China’s capital markets, currently including over 12,000 companies—encompassing all A-share and Hong Kong-listed companies, as well as bond issuers. It serves as an authoritative reference for financial institutions in investment decision-making, risk management, and product design, while also helping companies accurately gauge their ESG performance within the industry.

The Wind ESG rating system is based on leading international frameworks, integrated with local Chinese practices, and constructs a comprehensive evaluation across three major dimensions: Environmental (E), Social (S), and Governance (G):

Environmental (E): Focuses on key indicators such as climate change response strategies, energy management and efficiency, water resource utilization and protection, etc.

Social (S): Covers R&D investment and achievements, protection of employee rights (employment equity and career development), sustainable supply chain management, occupational health and safety standards, product and service responsibility, employee training and development systems, etc.

Governance (G): Includes the effectiveness of corporate governance structures (compliance of directors, supervisors, and executives), quality of information disclosure (audit compliance), anti-corruption mechanisms, protection of shareholder rights and interests, construction of ESG strategic governance systems, anti-monopoly, and fair competition practices, etc.

With both comprehensive coverage and detailed metrics, the Wind ESG rating has become a critical window for observing the sustainable development capabilities of Chinese enterprises.
