Officials from the China Securities Regulatory Commission responded to questions from reporters regarding the issuance of the "Sustainable Information Assurance Business Code No. 6101 - Basic Principles." They stated that considering sustainable information disclosure by enterprises is still in its early stages, it will take some time to build capabilities, cultivate talent, and improve internal control systems. At present, the "Assurance Code" is positioned as a pilot document, with no mandatory implementation requirements to avoid a one-size-fits-all approach. Before specifying the scope and requirements of implementation, institutions carrying out sustainable information assurance business are encouraged to voluntarily implement the code. In the future, as the implementation of sustainable disclosure standards for enterprises progresses, a strategy will be adopted that focuses on key areas, pilots first, gradually progresses, and moves forward step by step.
