At the 2026 China Socially Responsible Investment Summit, China Listed Companies
Association vice-chair Pan Chunsheng said policy divergence raises uncertainty
but the underlying logic of sustainability remains intact; climate risk,
supply-chain security and social equity will grow more urgent. He urged listed
companies to maintain strategic steadiness and not alter direction in response
to short-term external volatility or phase-specific policy shifts. For firms
operating overseas, Pan recommended building cross-standard disclosure and
compliance capabilities in advance to address differing requirements in the EU,
Southeast Asia and the US. He also encouraged more proactive investor engagement
using quantifiable, verifiable metrics to communicate the value of sustainable
strategies.
