It is understood that in recent years, the green development level of the financial leasing industry has been continuously improved, but green leasing lacks evaluation standards, and it is difficult to show "green" quality in statistics, supervision, financing, etc., and it is difficult to enjoy "green" treatment, which is not conducive to the sustainable health of the industry develop.
In this context, the Management Committee of Dongjiang Comprehensive Bonded Zone complied with the development needs of the industry, and with the support of the Tianjin Green Financial Services Joint Conference jointly led by the Tianjin Branch of the People's Bank of China and the Tianjin Municipal Bureau of Finance, launched the construction of a pilot area for green leasing service procedures. Explore the promotion of green leasing and try it first. On this basis, Dongjiang Comprehensive Bonded Zone gathers the wisdom and strength of regulatory authorities, financial institutions, leasing companies and professional institutions to study and formulate the "Implementation Plan for High-Quality Development of Green Financial Leasing" to respond to the industry's expectations and contribute to the high-quality development of Dongjiang Financial Leasing. Quality development accumulates potential energy to better serve the development of green and low-carbon industries
According to reports, the "Plan" focuses on building a national green energy leasing center, and proposes to establish a green leasing identification and evaluation mechanism, relying on digital platforms and third-party green evaluation agencies to identify and evaluate the green attributes of financial leasing projects, and to evaluate green leasing business and ESG performance. Conditional financial leasing companies will be given recognition incentives. At the same time, based on the evaluation of green leasing certification, explore supporting measures in terms of financing, supervision, and services that are conducive to the development of green leasing, strive for green credit to support green leasing project financing, and encourage financial institutions to accept and use third-party professional evaluation results of green leasing. Prevent the risk of "green washing"; strive for differentiated measures such as extra points in the regulatory rating of local financial organizations, and organize leasing companies to connect green project resources in conjunction with the green rating work of local enterprises.
According to industry insiders, the Dongjiang Comprehensive Bonded Zone is the first in the industry to issue the first systematic green leasing policy document in the country, take the lead in making integrated institutional arrangements for green leasing, and open up a green financial development path with Tianjin characteristics. The bonded area has become the first area in the country to systematically promote the high-quality development of green financial leasing.
According to the relevant person in charge of the Dongjiang Management Committee, the guidelines for the evaluation of green leasing projects and the evaluation guidelines for green leasing companies issued in conjunction with the "Plan" were jointly issued by the Management Committee of Dongjiang Comprehensive Bonded Area and a third-party green assessment agency. As the first green leasing evaluation mechanism in the industry, it is the first to apply the concept of "credit + ESG" to highlight the background of credit and the quality of green, and it is expected to become the "weather vane" of green evaluation in the financial leasing industry.
