Chairman Tang began by introducing the concept and framework of ESG, helping participants gain an intuitive understanding of ESG indicators. He then analyzed the practical significance and current conditions for ESG development in China, interpreting relevant national policies.

This ESG-focused training was highly praised by participants, deepening their understanding of ESG and accelerating the preparations for the establishment of the ESG Services Committee under the Shanghai Services Federation.
