At this year’s Financial Street Forum in Beijing—stage to the world’s top financiers and business executives—optimism buzzed as the Chinese mainland unveiled its latest growth roadmap. With a clear signal toward sustainability, the forum became a rallying point for global green finance.
In an exclusive conversation with CGTN, Chris Wei, executive vice president and chief client and innovation officer at Sun Life Financial Inc., outlined why long-standing cross-border partnerships are crucial right now. “The Chinese mainland is already a leader in renewable energy,” Wei said, “and our collaboration shows just how much potential global alliances have in driving low-carbon growth.”
Over two decades, Sun Life has worked hand-in-hand with the China Everbright Group, merging deep insurance portfolio expertise with Everbright’s strengths in banking, waste and water management, and clean energy. The result? A unique playbook for sustainable investment that spans risk management, digital platforms, and real-world infrastructure projects.
As the world races to meet climate goals, data-driven insights suggest that partnerships like this will shape the next wave of innovation. By blending global capital with local renewable expertise, Sun Life and Everbright are setting a blueprint for others to follow—proving that a greener future can be built through cooperation, one project at a time.
From Beijing’s boardrooms to international markets, the message is clear: sustainable growth isn’t just a buzzword—it’s a shared mission. And with alliances rooted in trust and expertise, the global push toward a low-carbon economy has never looked brighter.
