                        Zhejiang Bank's green credit management system in China uses fintech to facilitate
                  the granting of green credit. To determine green credit judgments, the system assesses
                  projects'  environmental  impact  using  China's  green  criteria  and  calculates  their

                  environmental benefits depending on input parameters. This strategy helps the bank
                  manage environmental hazards related to loan projects while simultaneously cutting
                  costs. The Ant Forest Initiative by Ant Financial is another noteworthy endeavor. This
                  project uses digital technology to raise money for tree planting. Users can earn green
                  energy through the app by using Alipay to make low-carbon transactions. Ant Financial
                  plants a real tree in Western China when the total amount of green energy collected

                  reaches 17.9 kg. The project has enhanced user awareness of environmental issues and
                  encouraged the adoption of low-pollution products and services (Zhou et al., 2022).
