CNIC Corporation Limited (CNIC)

CNIC Corporation Limited (CNIC) was first incorporated in Hong Kong in May 2012, with an initial capital of USD 11.111 billion. CNIC is committed to operating globally through a market-based, commercial and professional approach. With the help of capital, CNIC aims to support interconnectivity between different countries worldwide, generating the momentum and opportunities needed to drive global economic development.

CNIC has adopted ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) principles as critical guidance for our investment strategies and corporate governance. We believe that sustainability and long-term value creation of business operations are deeply rooted in their ability to share prosperity with wider society.


Since its conception by the United Nations Global Compact in 2004, ESG principles have gradually attracted attention from governments and regulatory authorities around the world. In February 2021, the Chinese government articulated its commitment to ESG in the ‘14th Five Year Plan for the Development of Financial Standardization’, in which the government proposed the establishment of an ESG evaluation system. The Social Responsibility Bureau of the State owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission was then established to implement ESG principles for state-owned enterprises, with a focus on peaking of carbon emission and carbon neutrality (dual carbon), environmental protection and environmental safety.
