Policy on coal and other fossil fuel investments:

Bin Yuan Capital committed to the Net Zero Asset Managers (NZAM) Initiative in 2021. As China’s first committed asset manager, Bin Yuan Capital committed to supporting the goal of net-zero GHG emissions by 2050 or sooner with reduction targets set for 2030, in line with global efforts to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius. Given this situation and as a leader in sustainability, Bin Yuan Capital will not invest in companies that engage in the production of thermal coal or coal-fired power. We set the threshold of 10% of revenues derived from coal-fired business.
