The Board of Directors has the overall oversight responsibility in ensuring that sustainability is institutionalized into China Bank’s strategy and objectives. 

The Management Committee is tasked to ensure that the Bank’s operations and the performance of our personnel are in line with the set objectives on sustainability.

The Management Committee is supported by the newly-established Sustainability Oversight Committee in the implementation of its sustainability-related activities.  

The Sustainability Oversight Committee aims to:   

• ensure that oversight and management of sustainability-related issues are embedded within the Bank’s governance structure and,
  
  
• ensure that the Board and Management would have visibility of sustainability-related issues and set the appropriate strategy and its implementation.
   

To support the Sustainability Oversight Committee’s activities, the Sustainability Working Team, led by the ESG Department, coordinates with the other units of the Bank in the implementation of actions and initiatives on capacity building, materiality assessment, and other activities under the Sustainability Transition Plan.
