With the rise of ESG (Environment, Social and Governance) concept in the world, ESG information disclosure has also received extensive attention. ESG information disclosure is an area to be studied in the future legal construction of capital market, especially in the process of improving the information disclosure system. It is necessary to establish a systematic ESG information disclosure system for listed companies in China. Various countries have established ESG information disclosure systems to guide enterprises to disclose, and China is also constantly exploring and improving its own systems. Currently, China has not formally released a comprehensive ESG information disclosure framework to guide enterprises to disclose non-financial information, which results in the uneven quality of ESG information disclosure at this stage, in addition to the Environmental, Social and Governance Reporting Guidelines issued by the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. There are still a few issues with the practice of disclosing ESG information. This paper reviews the development of ESG information disclosure standards at home and abroad, discusses the problems existing in ESG information disclosure in China, and puts forward corresponding suggestions, with a view to providing theoretical reference for the construction of ESG information disclosure system, and hoping to promote listed companies to actively fulfill their environmental, social and governance responsibilities, Contribute to the process of improving the sustainable development ability of listed companies through institutional advantages and promoting the establishment of a healthy and sustainable financial system with controllable risks.
