Mr. Ma Weihua, the chairman of the college's board of directors, has always emphasized the need to use the concept of public welfare, business models, financial tools, and technological means to solve social problems.
Yu Jin, co-founder and the vice president of Menglang Sustainable Digital Technology and chairman of Shenzhen Zhiyi Information Technology, said that the three factors of ESG can affect the long-term value and sustainability of a company. The purpose of ESG investment is to achieve long-term financial returns and social responsibility by investing in companies that perform well in these areas. ESG investment not only focuses on the financial performance of enterprises, but also on their social responsibility and environmental impact. The deep implementation of ESG investment philosophy by enterprises helps to quickly open up overseas markets and promote rapid growth and growth of enterprises.
Li Huijuan, General Manager of the Hongzhao Group, stated that the intention of public welfare, the promotion of business, the means of technology, and the approach of finance would all contribute to the healthy and sustainable development of public welfare from four dimensions. Public education helps young people develop financial knowledge, but financial intelligence cultivation cannot be achieved overnight. Enterprises should adhere to long-term principles, continue to invest, and conduct effective evaluations.
