GTJAI Brought ESG Considerations into its Credit Risk Policy

HONG KONG--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Guotai Junan International Holdings Limited (“Guotai Junan International”, the “Group” or “GTJAI”, stock code: 1788.HK) announced that the Group has incorporated ESG risk factors into its Newest Credit Risk Policy to control and manage the ESG risks at the business operation level more efficiently.

The GTJAI’s Newest Credit Risk Policy covers all its subsidiaries and affiliates in all types of businesses including, but not limited to, lending, underwriting of debt securities, derivatives trading, and other financing activities such as investment banking and wealth management business. The policy reflects ESG criteria formally in the client onboarding, due diligence and credit risk management process with reference to global ESG frameworks.

  • Require ESG Due Diligence. As specifically required in the policy, all business teams are responsible for the Know-Your-Client (KYC) process by reviewing clients’ financial reports, ESG report, performing background check on shareholders, reviewing internal policies and controls.
  • Specify Industry-related Risk. All business teams are required to conduct enhanced due diligence on higher ESG risk customers. If there is significant ESG risk on certain customer or industry, the Company should consider avoiding provide finance accordingly. Specifically, companies’ 85% revenue from Tar sand, Shale Oil & Gas, Arctic Oil & Gas, Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG), and Ultra-Deep-Water (UDW) Oil & Gas will be considered as high risk.
  • Identify Other ESG Red Flags. All business teams are required to include ESG rating downgrade in assessing potential clients’ profiles and documentation.
