China's securities regulator is considering expanding the mandatory information disclosure of pollution discharge to all listed companies, Fang Xinghai, vice-chairman of the China Securities Regulatory Commission，said on Saturday.

The securities regulator issued guidelines last year to require companies in targeted industries, usually high-pollution sectors, to disclose environment-related information.

Fang, speaking at a panel discussion at the Boao Forum for Asia in Hainan province, said the regulator also hopes to require mutual funds and pension funds to disclose the carbon emission information of the financial products they invest in.

This is "so that investors will know how these institutions are supporting the development of green finance," Fang said.
