China Asset Management Co (ChinaAMC), which manages approximately $440 billion in assets, has become an active proponent of ESG integration and corporate stewardship in China's asset management industry.

In 2025, the firm expanded its automated proxy voting platform across all institutional investments, participating in around 1,000 shareholder meetings, and launched a corporate governance integrity database to monitor compliance and fraud risks.

Since 2018, ChinaAMC reports it has conducted more than 70 in-depth engagements with listed companies on climate, governance, disclosure and sustainability issues. A notable example is its collaboration with the FAIRR Initiative to engage Muyuan Foods on emissions disclosure, climate investment transparency, water risk management and sustainable sourcing.

The engagement led to the company's first comprehensive Scope 3 emissions and methane disclosures, an RMB 143 million ($21.1 million) investment in low-soy diet R&D, enhanced water risk assessment practices, and a commitment to source 45% sustainable soy by 2025.

In 2025 alone, ChinaAMC engaged 23 companies across sectors including energy, industrials and healthcare, contributing to improved ESG disclosures and ratings.

As one Sustainable Investment Awards judge observed, "standardising and scaling the approach to ESG in China is a major achievement and key to the involvement of investors in assessing investment risks and impacts in China."
