Zijin has been awarded the highest “AAA” Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) rating by Wind, a leading Chinese financial data provider, according to Wind’s 2025 ESG assessment. Zijin achieved an overall score of 9.08. This places the company among only three out of 12,297 A-share and Hong Kong-listed companies to earn the top-tier “AAA” rating—and it is the only mining company to do so. This milestone builds on the company’s previous “AA” rating and its inclusion in Wind’s ESG Top 100 list for two consecutive years.

The “AAA” designation reflects exceptional corporate management, minimal ESG risks, and strong sustainability capabilities. Zijin has consistently demonstrated leadership in ESG practices, with scores across all three pillars ranking among the highest in the market.

Wind is China’s premier financial information and software services provider. Its ESG team evaluates more than 12,000 companies across Greater China, including all Shanghai- and Hong Kong-listed firms and public bond issuers. Its rigorous assessment framework covers three core pillars, 29 topics, and more than 2,000 data points, providing a comprehensive analysis of long-term ESG fundamentals and short-term risk exposure. The “AAA” rating underscores Zijin’s alignment with global sustainability benchmarks and its resilience in navigating evolving market challenges.
