ICBC Beijing Branch has successfully launched the first ESG consulting service project in the Beijing region, marking a significant breakthrough in consulting services.

To fully implement the new development philosophy and support practices featured by innovation, coordination, green development, openness, and sharing, ICBC is advancing its “five transformations” of intelligent risk control, modern layout, digital driver, diversified structure and ecological foundation. At the 7th China International Import Expo, ICBC officially introduced its “ESG Consulting Service System”. After completing all regulatory procedures, the Bank began providing ESG consulting services to clients in March 2025. ICBC can deliver client-oriented, full-process ESG consulting services, covering strategic planning, implementation, information disclosure, ESG ratings and evaluation, as well as transaction consulting.

Beijing, as a policy hub and practice benchmark for China’s path to modernization, provides an ideal setting for the launch of ICBC’s first ESG consulting service project. This milestone not only reinforces the city’s role in driving policy implementation and setting best practices, but also offers a practical model for ESG ecosystem development across various institutions nationwide. Enterprise W, a leading private enterprise based in Beijing, sought to enhance its competitiveness in sustainable development as part of its high-quality growth strategy. To this end, the enterprise engaged ICBC to provide full-process ESG management consulting services, covering strategic planning, implementation, and information disclosure. Drawing on its deep industry expertise and understanding of Enterprise W’s operational context, ICBC delivered comprehensive support across multiple dimensions including analysis of global ESG policy trends, benchmarking against peers’ best ESG practices, and tailored recommendations for ESG management implementation. The high level of professionalism and insight demonstrated by ICBC was highly recognized by the client, culminating in the signing of an ESG consulting service agreement between the two parties.

Going forward, ICBC will continue to enhance its ESG consulting services to support enterprises in achieving sustainable, high-quality development and strengthening their core competitiveness.
