Message from Mr. Fan Bao

"Thank you to CASVI for inviting me to be part of the work you do, and I am very thrilled to be able to contribute towards sustainable development finance in China. CASVI is the earliest driving force for sustainable development finance in China, and has achieved a track record over the years. It is truly my honor to join this team at such a time.

Over the past 15 years, China Renaissance and I have been supporting the growth of China's innovative economic enterprises. In the process, we realized that these enterprises, while benefitting from the socio- economic development, have come to be deeply integrated with the people's livelihood. Therefore, the only way for corporations to last is to truly participate in the society, by upholding sustainable development and actively taking on social responsibilities. Especially with today's global economy in turmoil, we are increasingly convinced that the only certainty amongst the myriad of uncertainties is to be down-to-earth and adhere to sustainable development.

In the future, I very much hope to work with CASVI, along with my personal abilities and China Renaissance's professional capabilities, to extend the concept of sustainable development finance towards the primary market, and promote CASVI's work in sustainable development, eventually bringing more people to join us in this extremely meaningful cause."
