2023-06-13 | Shanghai

On 13th June, Ms Sarah Yu, Environment Working Group Vice Chair presented a keynote on EU-China collaboration on the Green Transition and hosted a roundtable at the EY 'Roundtable on Interpreting EU Sustainable Development Policies.' As part of the Shanghai Carbon Expo, this event also featured an opening speech from Mr. Chunting Gu, vice president of Council for the Promotion of International Trade Shanghai.

As a leader in actively addressing global climate change, the EU has long been actively promoting the establishment of sustainable development-related legislation and policies, including the EU Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM), EU Plastic Packaging Tax and the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), which will become an important key factor affecting international trade in the future and impose higher sustainability management requirements on multinational enterprises and Chinese exporters. The roundtable on "Interpreting EU Sustainable Development Policies" aimed to provide an in-depth understanding of the impact of EU sustainable development policies and help domestic enterprises to better "go global" and proactively meet the opportunities and challenges brought by EU sustainable development policies.
