On 19 May 2023, WeCarbon's China Partner Ms. Mia Zheng was invited to join the expert panel of the Sci-Tech Enterprise IPO Incubation Pool. In an era in which corporate transformation and shared development are led by green and low-carbon goals, ESG has become a value system, an assessment tool and an investment strategy for measuring how sustainably a company is developing, and an important driver of long-term business success. Ms. Zheng looks forward to working with the pool's other experts as a "think tank", contributing ideas and effort to the development of the pool's companies in ESG and sustainability.
