ESG is the abbreviation of Environmental, Social and Governance. ESG has become an increasingly important factor for businesses as they seek to balance financial performance with social and environmental responsibility.
Employment compliance is a significant element under the social part of ESG. The ESG standards actually align with the compliance requirements under Chinese labor law system. It is more and more important for companies in China to align their practices with both sets of standards to create a more sustainable and socially responsible business.
The seminar will begin with an overview of ESG standards and how they apply to the workplace, including regulations around employee safety, social benefits, employment equality, protections for female employees, prohibition of child labor, etc.
This seminar will focus on the intersection of ESG standards and employment requirements in China and highlight specific case studies and best practices to demonstrate how companies can improve their ESG performance while also ensuring they are meeting their legal obligations to employees in China.
