夏志进认为，早期投资机构在推动科技创新与可持续发展进程中，具备独特优势并肩负着重要责任。引导科技创业公司践行可持续发展理念，理应成为投资 人的行业共识与自觉行动。 具体来看，风险投资机构需主动制定内部ESG准则，构建审查机制以筛选优质投资标的。"投资机构可借助打分系统，评估企业是否代表先进生产力，是否 存在高能耗或落后产能等问题。这一内部审查机制不仅有助于精准筛选出契合可持续发展要求的企业，更能引导早期创业公司朝着可持续发展方向迈进。借 助中国ESG发展的确定性趋势，投资机构可从中挖掘创业机遇，将ESG从'合规指标负担'转化为'行业效率机遇'。"他说。 5月17日，祥峰投资管理合伙人夏志进在第十三届SIIFC国际研讨会上表示，作为一家专注于科技领域早期投资的风险投资机构，祥峰投资的投资版图覆盖AI 机器人、半导体产业链、新材料等领域。未来，在能源转型与产业升级背景下，祥峰投资将持续关注投资与可持续发展理念深度绑定的领域。 上证报中国证券网讯（胡尧 记者 马嘉悦）5月17日，祥峰投资管理合伙人夏志进在第十三届SIIFC国际研讨会上表示，作为一家专注于科技领域早期投资的 风险投资机构，祥峰投资的投资版图覆盖AI机 ...
