In recent years, China has made significant progress in the ESG sector, such as the introduction of sustainability reporting guidelines by the three major stock exchanges and the issuance of statutory disclosure of environmental information measures by the Ministry of Environmental Protection. In the future, with the global emphasis on sustainable development and investors 'recognition of ESG investment, China's ESG market will be broader. This paper summarizes the development of ESG in the Chinese market, and takes two giant Chinese enterprises, Ping An Insurance (Group) Company of China, Ltd. and Haier, to successfully improve their sustainable development ability through the implementation of ESG strategy.
