From July 29 to 31, 2026, two landmark industry events — the 5th International Green Zero-Carbon Festival and the 15th China Finance Summit — successfully concluded in Shanghai. Gathering thousands of representatives from government, industry and academia, as well as hundreds of leading enterprises across sectors, the two authoritative summits focus on China’s sustainable development and economic transformation. Leveraging its mature sustainable development framework and solid ESG achievements delivered in 2025, JCDecaux China was honored with two industry accolades: the 2026 Model Enterprise for Sustainable Development Award and the 2026 ESG Practitioner Model Award.
As highly credible professional platforms in China’s dual-carbon, ESG and new quality productivity fields, the two summits adopt a rigorous evaluation mechanism that excludes superficial indicators such as brand influence and marketing publicity. The judging panels conduct comprehensive assessments based on four core dimensions: enterprises’ practical annual actions, quantifiable carbon reduction outcomes, full-process compliance governance and social responsibility contributions. The honors fully validate that JCDecaux China ranks among the industry’s best in environmental, social and governance performance.

JCDecaux China was named the 2026 Model Enterprise for Sustainable Development Award, alongside cross-industry leading enterprises including Kao China, Jinko Energy Storage, 3M China and Yangtze River Pharmaceutical Group.

Commending market players with outstanding performance in technological innovation, low-carbon transformation and ESG performance, the summit honored JCDecaux China with the 2026 ESG Practitioner Model Award in recognition of its robust full-business ESG management and implementation achievements in the outdoor advertising industry.
