Chairman Gu Jianzhong of Shanghai Bank: Redefining the scale of green fund allocation, nurturing "hard green core" enterprises.

The 2026 Lujiazui Forum, with the theme of "Sustainable Financial Innovation and Cooperation under the Global Governance Framework", was held on June 18. Gu Jianzhong, Chairman of Shanghai Bank Co., Ltd., stated that green finance, as an important aspect of sustainable finance, has moved from the "first half" of scale expansion to the "second half" of quality improvement. Commercial banks have increased their efforts in using "technological advancement" and "actual emission reduction efficiency" as important criteria for green fund allocation, in order to better guide funds towards enterprises with core technological support and real transformation needs, to truly cultivate a group of "hard green core" enterprises with independent intellectual property rights, mastery of core technologies, and global competitive strength.
