How is Corporate Sustainability Reflected in Stock Exchanges in China?

Stock exchanges in China are taking corporate sustainability more seriously than ever before...Hang Seng Indexes Company Limited announced...that it will expand the Hang Seng Corporate Sustainability Index Series by adding two new benchmark indexes: the Hang Seng Corporate Sustainability Benchmark Index (“HSSUSB”) and the Hang Seng (China A) Corporate Sustainability Benchmark Index (“HSCASUSB”). The new indexes are designed to enlarge the constituent base of the index series to include more MidCap and SmallCap companies that have strong sustainability performance...The aims of the index series are to further raise awareness about corporate sustainability (which encompasses environmental, social and corporate governance performance) and serve increasing international interest in sustainable investment.
