In recent years, problems such as climate change, environmental pollution, and resource scarcity continue to be increasingly prominent, bringing enormous negative impacts and unprecedented pressure to business development. It is becoming a clear responsibility for all business organisations to participate in compliance with implementing the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change and promoting the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. PwC is honored to continue collaborating with UNDP China and the China Chamber of International Commerce in this third report in our series on Business and Sustainability in China.
This report has analysed the performance of more than 150 enterprises in China in implementing the SDGs, as well as their climate governance and strategic planning on the road to the low-carbon transition. Meanwhile, an additional focus on SDG 5: gender equality was applied through researching and analysing women’ s comprehension and participation in sustainable development and climate change.
