Organizer: China Impact Investing Network (CIIN),FOR GOOD AWARDS As “doing good” moves beyond being a marginal note in financial reports, impact investing is undergoing a systemic revaluation of assets. This session focuses on its practical execution: how to transform the “positive externalities” of solving social and ecological challenges into measurable, investable core assets. Drawing on the real-world benchmarks of the “Light Awards,” we will unpack models that successfully deliver both financial and social returns, explore how patient capital integrates with frontier technology and inclusive business, and examine emerging frameworks for impact measurement. This is not just a showcase of quality projects, but an effort to embed social well-being into the core architecture of mainstream finance.

In the face of compounding climatic, social, and geopolitical challenges, traditional growth models rooted in extraction and zero-sum logic are reaching their limits. As fragmented interventions struggle to address systemic crises, there is an urgent need for an “Eastern Pathway to Sustainability”—one that translates the ancient wisdom of “Harmony between Humanity and Nature” into a driving force for patient capital and responsible innovation. AT ONE IMPACT WEEK CHINA – the Well-being Economic Forum 2026 presents China as a decisive, large-scale proving ground for Regenerative Prosperity. We will explore how policy, finance, industry, and culture achieve profound synergy within this transformation. This is not merely a refinement of old paradigms, but a demonstration of how Eastern values such as He (Harmony) and Ren (Benevolence) bridge the divide between capital and public interest, reshaping the logic of value creation to power the foundations of a Well-being Economy. The event is more than a cross-sector dialogue; it is a journey of collective evolution. We invite global policymakers and long-term investors to engage with this process, deconstructing the mechanisms that unify material prosperity with ecological restoration and human well-being. Moving beyond abstract discourse, we offer insights rooted in transformative practice, dedicated to weaving the “Well-being of Life” into the very fabric of global governance and capital flows—uniting awakened forces across borders to reshape a resilient and regenerative future.
