As one of the Big Three credit rating agencies, S&P Global has a history spanning over a century and plays a crucial role in the global financial infrastructure. Each year, the agency publishes the Sustainability Yearbook, selecting top-performing enterprises from various industries based on their sustainable development performance. The selection criteria for the yearbook are determined by the Corporate Sustainability Assessment (CSA) scores from the previous year. The CSA encompasses 62 different industry-specific sustainability assessment standards, which quantify and score companies' information disclosure and performance on various issues across dimensions such as the environment, society, governance, and the economy.

In each industry, only companies that rank in the top 15% in the S&P Global CSA scores and are among the top 30% in their industry are included in the yearbook. The year 2024 marks the 20th consecutive year of publication for the S&P Global's Sustainability Yearbook. This year, more than 1,700 Chinese companies participated in the evaluation, with 129 companies ultimately being selected for inclusion. This list includes prominent enterprises such as Tencent, Baidu, JD.com, Xiaomi, and Kingdee.
