ESG stands for Environmental, Social and Governance. ESG investing incorporates ESG concepts into investment philosophy. On top of traditional financial analysis, it examines a company's long-term development potential from the three dimensions of environment, social and governance.

ESG investing is a key entry point for the asset management industry to reshape values and facilitate sustainable high-quality development. Rooted in the origin of the asset management industry, Southern Asset Management practices what we preach. We are committed to creating continuous value for clients while implementing ESG investment philosophy, actively promoting the localization of ESG investing and taking real actions to facilitate sustainable economic and social development.

ESG Organizational Framework
To effectively promote and monitor the implementation of ESG investment strategies, Southern Asset Management has established an ESG management framework consisting of the "ESG Leadership Team + ESG Working Group".
ESG Rating System

Southern Asset Management has independently developed an ESG rating system and database with Chinese characteristics that is aligned with international standards. We have formed a three-dimensional ESG rating system mainly based on quantitative ratings and supplemented by analyst ratings and external ratings. This achieves in-depth integration of ESG with Chinese investment logic.

By the end of 2025, Southern Asset Management's ESG proprietary rating system covered over 5,100 A-share listed companies and over 7,400 bond issuers.
