United Nations Global Compact

The first Chinese securities firm in Hong Kong to join the UN Global Compact

[6 August 2021, Hong Kong] Guotai Junan International Holdings Limited (“Guotai Junan International”, “GTJAI”, the “Company” or “Group”, stock code: 1788.HK) announces that the Company officially joined the United Nations Global Compact (“UN Global Compact”) on July 23, 2021, committing to fully support the Ten Principles in the four areas of human rights, labour, environment and anti-corruption. As the first Chinese securities firm in Hong Kong to join the UN Global Compact, GTJAI will continue to actively fulfill its corporate social responsibilities in an all-round way and implement its ESG sustainable ideology by taking practical actions.

In recent years, GTJAI has transformed from a “broker-oriented” security firm into a large-scale “integrated financial service provider” driven by diversified businesses, and it has been taking more important social responsibilities. In 2019, GTJAI was selected as a constituent stock of the "FTSE4Good Index Series" by the global index provider FTSE Russell of London Stock Exchange, which was a recognition of its sustainable development achievements. In 2020, as the pioneer in the industry, GTJAI established the ESG Committee to support the Board in formulating, overseeing and monitoring execution of ESG-related matters and to enhance the Company’s sustainable practice and development. Through corporate philanthropy, community partnerships and volunteering, GTJAI actively participates in community activities and widely cares about the interests of the community, and has been awarded the "Caring Company" by the Hong Kong Council of Social Service for six consecutive years.

Besides supporting various community services and adhering to the concept of green and energy-saving in daily operations, GTJAI also prioritizes green investment and financing to achieve an inclusive and low-carbon economy together with all parties.
