E Fund Leads Charge in Biodiversity-Conscious Investment

The 2024 United Nations Biodiversity Conference highlighted biodiversity conservation's growing importance. E Fund Management, China's top mutual fund manager, is pioneering biodiversity risk assessment in investments. With ESG factors at its core, E Fund is driving responsible investment, contributing to global biodiversity conservation through strategic collaborations and innovative products.

The COP 16 conference, held in November 2024 in Colombia, has placed biodiversity conservation at the forefront of international discourse. Central to discussions was the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework, which aims to restore 30% of degraded ecosystems by 2030.

China's E Fund Management is leading the way in responsible investment practices by integrating biodiversity assessments into its investment portfolios. Having joined the PRI's Spring initiative, E Fund partnered with a top Chinese university to develop a unique biodiversity risk methodology.

Besides its strategic initiatives, E Fund offers specialized funds like the E Fund ESG Responsibility Investment Equity Fund. These efforts not only support China's carbon objectives but also reflect E Fund's long-term commitment to sustainability and biodiversity.
