构建中国特色ESG评级体系的路径策略

The Path Strategy for Building an ESG Rating System with Chinese Characteristics

摘要: 气候变化、极端天气是人类面临的共同挑战，贫富差距、种族歧视、公平正义、冲突矛盾是人类面临的重大课题。在此背景下，中国积极参与ESG领域的全球经济治理意义重大。而参与ESG领域的全球经济治理的抓手之一是建立符合人类命运共同体的ESG评级体系来全面评判企业的发展绩效、长期发展能力和投资潜力，从而有效链接国内企业、投资机构、政府监管部门和专业智库平台形成合力，推动中国在全球范围的ESG投资行稳致远。本文旨在通过梳理国际国内ESG评级体系的差异，汲取国际主流ESG评级体系的经验，在联合国可持续发展目标的指导下，提出构建符合人类命运共同体的中国特色ESG评级体系的路径策略。

Abstract: Climate change and extreme weather are common challenges facing humanity, and the gap between the rich and the poor, racial discrimination, justice and conflicts are the major issues facing humanity. In this context, China’s active participation in global economic governance in the ESG field is of great significance. One of the tools to participate in global economic governance in the ESG field is to establish an ESG rating system in line with the concept of a human community with a shared future to comprehensively judge the development performance, long-term development capability and investment potential of enterprises, so as to effectively link domestic enterprises, investment institutions, government regulators and professional think tank platforms to form a synergy to promote China’s ESG investment in the global context. The purpose of this paper is to sort out the differences between international and domestic ESG rating systems, learn from the experience of international mainstream ESG rating systems, and propose a pathway strategy for building an ESG rating system with Chinese characteristics that is consistent with the concept of a human community with a shared future under the guidance of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
