This website reports (by reporter Yang Guangming and correspondents Meng Jie and Liu Jie): Recently, Industrial Bank's Xi'an branch successfully signed a "Supply Chain Collaborative Carbon Reduction Service Cooperation Agreement" with a leading charging infrastructure operator in Shaanxi Province. This marks the official launch of Shaanxi Province's first green financial service centered on "carbon finance + supply chain." This business relies on Industrial Bank's self-developed "dual-carbon management platform," focusing on the challenges of carbon management in the charging infrastructure industry chain, injecting strong financial momentum into the low-carbon transformation of the regional industry chain, and becoming another innovative practice of the bank in deeply cultivating the carbon finance field and implementing its green finance strategy.
As a crucial link in the decarbonization of energy consumption, the level of carbon management across the entire charging infrastructure chain has become an important component of enterprises' core competitiveness. The "carbon finance + supply chain" business launched this time is an innovation by the bank in conjunction with the characteristics of the regional new energy industry. According to reports, this business mainly involves building a unified carbon account for leading charging companies and their upstream equipment suppliers and operation and maintenance service providers. This system tracks carbon emission data throughout the entire process of equipment production, transportation, and operation, constructing a quantifiable and verifiable carbon emission reduction evaluation system, which serves as the core basis for financing pricing. This model not only helps core enterprises optimize their supply chain carbon management structure but also leverages financial leverage to encourage upstream and downstream SMEs to participate in emission reduction, effectively addressing the industry pain points of SMEs facing difficulties in carbon data accounting and high costs of green financing, forming a positive incentive mechanism of "emission reduction equals cost reduction."
Currently, international green trade policies such as the EU's Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) are continuously deepening, making corporate carbon footprint management and disclosure a crucial prerequisite for cross-border operations. Industrial Bank's "Dual Carbon Management Platform" provides carbon footprint accounting and disclosure services that meet international standards, helping domestic new energy companies overcome green trade barriers and enhance their cross-border environmental compliance capabilities.
As one of the first batch of "A-level climate-friendly financial institutions" in the country, Industrial Bank Xi'an Branch has always focused on the energy transformation needs of Shaanxi Province, supporting the construction of clean energy projects such as wind power and photovoltaics, and helping traditional industries to achieve green transformation.
