Abstract
Given the growing global concern about climate change, nations have set goals to reach the highest level of carbon emissions and achieve carbon neutrality in order to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Fintech, with its distinctive value, plays a crucial role in implementing the "carbon neutral" approach. This article uses Hundsun Technologies Inc. as a case study to conduct a SWOT analysis, investigating how the firm utilizes Fintech to further its "carbon neutral" agenda. The study's findings demonstrate that Hundsun Technologies Inc.'s use of financial technology to improve carbon emissions monitoring and management and engage in ecological construction through extensive collaboration not only enhances its sense of social responsibility and market competitiveness, but also holds immense value for industry enterprises. Fintech will remain significant in the context of the global push for carbon neutrality, but it must also enhance its oversight and regulation to maintain long-term growth and maximize societal advantages.
