Core Insights - The Shanghai Stock Exchange (SSE) has launched a special action plan to enhance ESG ratings for listed companies, responding to regulatory requirements and aiming to improve the international competitiveness of the A-share market [1][2] - As of the end of 2024, 342 companies are included in the MSCI ESG ratings, with 8 achieving AAA ratings and 52 in the AAA-A tier, indicating significant progress but highlighting structural challenges [1][2] - The action plan aims to address issues such as climate disclosure and supply chain management, which lag behind international benchmarks, emphasizing the need for improved rating methodologies and data reliability [1][2] Policy Framework - The SSE's ESG rating initiative is built around six core measures that create a systematic breakthrough, focusing on institutional norms, information disclosure, and evaluation systems [2] - The initiative aims to eliminate market information barriers, strengthen corporate responsibility awareness, and transition the ESG ecosystem from fragmented exploration to standardized and systematic practices [2] Rating Improvement System - The plan establishes a logical chain of "indicators-disclosure-management" and develops industry-specific rating guidelines, providing templates for governance structure design and disclosure examples [3] - It includes performance benchmarking analysis to help companies identify "rating pain points," particularly in sectors like chemicals, where pollution control and environmental risk management disclosures are emphasized [3] Collaborative Governance Platform - A regular dialogue mechanism between listed companies and rating agencies will be established, facilitating communication through training and industry forums [4] - This two-way communication aims to resolve information asymmetry, allowing companies to better understand rating criteria and improve their ESG management practices [4] Disclosure Quality Enhancement - The plan promotes a "financial materiality" disclosure principle, requiring companies to reveal the impact of ESG issues on financial performance within a structured framework [5] - It also advances the electronic standardization of sustainability reports to enhance the traceability and comparability of ESG information [5] Best Practices Matrix - The initiative will compile ESG practice white papers across industries, showcasing leading companies and typical scenarios, and organize workshops to address common challenges [6] - This approach aims to create a virtuous cycle of "benchmark demonstration-industry follow-up" [6] ESG Financial Ecosystem - The plan integrates ESG ratings into financing product designs, encouraging banks to offer "ESG performance-linked loans" and promoting the issuance of sustainable development-linked bonds [8] - By 2025, the scale of ESG-themed funds in the SSE is expected to grow by 40%, with significant cost advantages for higher-rated companies [8] Management Capability Foundation - Companies are encouraged to involve ESG professional investors in governance to enhance management expertise and establish a "pre-rating" mechanism for early diagnosis [9] - This mechanism has already helped a medium-sized manufacturing company identify shortcomings in occupational health and safety indicators, leading to successful inclusion in the MSCI rating system [9] Policy Effect Assessment - The SSE's ESG rating initiative represents a systematic reshaping of the capital market's sustainable development ecosystem, driving companies to optimize their environmental governance and social responsibility practices [10] - The ongoing effects of the policy are expected to shift the capital market focus from short-term profit to long-term value investment [10] Value Creation Model Innovation - The initiative encourages companies to shift from "passive disclosure" to "active management," enhancing environmental governance and social responsibility [11] - For instance, a steel company improved its production processes and achieved cost-effective financing through ESG rating enhancements, demonstrating the synergy between environmental investment and economic benefits [11] Resource Allocation Optimization - As ESG ratings become deeply integrated into investment decisions, capital is expected to flow towards higher-rated companies, creating a positive cycle of "rating improvement-valuation premium-quality development" [12] - By 2026, the number of AAA-A rated companies in the SSE is projected to double, with ESG index fund scales surpassing one trillion [12] Global ESG Governance Contribution - The plan incorporates international rating experiences while emphasizing "Chinese characteristics" in ESG practices, providing a reference for developing countries [13] - As the international recognition of SSE companies' ESG ratings increases, the A-share market's influence in the global ESG investment system is expected to grow [13] Summary and Outlook - The SSE's ESG rating enhancement initiative is not just a technical optimization of rating indicators but a profound restructuring of capital market development logic [14] - The initiative aims to transform listed companies from "profit centers" to "value centers," establishing the capital market as a key link between economic development and social progress [14]

Core Viewpoint - The sudden imposition of a 20% tariff on all Vietnamese exports to the U.S. by President Trump has disrupted Vietnam's economic plans, which were initially based on a lower expected tariff rate of 10-15% [1][3]. Group 1: Tariff Impact - The crisis originated from Trump's announcement of a "reciprocal tariff" plan, initially proposing a 46% punitive tariff on Vietnam, which was later negotiated down to 20% after three months of discussions [3]. - Vietnamese companies are facing significant challenges, with some, like JinkoSolar, facing tariffs as high as 120%, severely impacting their competitiveness [4]. Group 2: Vietnam's Response - Vietnam's trade surplus with the U.S. is projected to reach $123.5 billion in 2024, accounting for over 30% of its total exports, despite the 20% tariff potentially eroding 15-20% of corporate profits [5]. - The Vietnamese dong has depreciated to a historical low, and the Ho Chi Minh stock market lost $66 billion in value in a single week, indicating increased risks of foreign capital withdrawal [5]. Group 3: U.S. Strategic Goals - The U.S. aims to weaken China's influence in Southeast Asia through its tariff policies, despite data showing that only 3% of Vietnamese exports are used to circumvent tariffs, while 70% of materials for Vietnamese manufacturing come from China [7]. Group 4: Global Repercussions - The tariff conflict has broader implications, as Vietnam must balance its economic relationship with both the U.S. and China, with imports from China accounting for 62% of its total imports in the first four months of 2025 [8]. Group 5: Future Strategies - Experts predict that Vietnam may counteract the tariff impact through a 10% depreciation of the dong and a $5 billion government fund for export subsidies, although this could increase fiscal deficit pressures [9]. - Vietnam is pursuing a multi-faceted approach, including diplomatic negotiations, market diversification, and industrial upgrades, with exports to the EU and India increasing by 32% and 18% respectively [12].

反内卷的本质就是让生意的归生意。就此而言，企业要提升产 品品质，创新求胜，地方政府也要各归其位。决策层对此显然 有深刻的认识。去年的中央经济工作会论及综合整治"内卷 式"竞争时，讲的正是"规范地方政府和企业行为"。 作者：社论 封图：图虫创意 对地方政府来说，当务之急是依法依规加强治理、精准施策，不干预市场，不提供妨碍市场公平的 竞争条件，打破地方保护主义，让生产要素能自由流动，促企业运行机制通畅，保营商环境优良， 如此才能实现优胜劣汰，进而推动中国经济走出内卷的怪圈。 7月8日，33家建筑类企业联合发出建筑行业反内卷倡议书，共同推动行业转型，摒弃"内卷式"竞 争。之前已经有包括汽车、纺织、玻璃、钢铁、光伏等在内的几十个行业发出了反内卷的倡议书。 中国经济的反内卷之战正在持续深入。 然而， 最近几年，无论是光伏还是新能源汽车行业，大规模并购重组并没有出现。 就算是那些持 续巨亏的企业，也依然硬挺着"我就活给你看"。何以如此？ 不得不说，这背后依然有地方政府的影子。还是以光伏行业为例，很多光伏项目既是地方政府招商 引资的结果，也是政府扶持的样板企业。在一些地方政府眼中，企业被并购或者退出市场就意味着 项目失败。 ...
