On November 7, 2023, the China Liaison Office of the United Nations Global Compact organized a "Global Compact Night" exchange event.  Representatives from local networks across the Asia-Pacific region engaged in face-to-face discussions with over 60 representatives from businesses participating in the UN Global Compact in China.  They explored how joining the UN Global Compact, sharing best practices, and participating in projects can enhance collaboration with other businesses and stakeholders, collectively advancing the achievement of sustainable development goals.

Through interaction and exchange, the UN Global Compact participating companies in China have established meaningful connections with the UN Global Compact's local representatives in the Asia-Pacific region, providing valuable opportunities to build stronger partnerships. Our CEO Mr Qu Weifeng was also invited to participate in this event.

Ms. Liu Meng, the Asia-Pacific Regional Representative of the United Nations Global Compact, delivered a welcome speech.  Mr. Ole Lund Hansen, the Director of Global Operations of the United Nations Global Compact, and Mr. Dan Thomas, the Director of Communications and Strategic Engagement, both gave speeches encouraging participating companies from China to strengthen their communication on sustainable development in the global market and actively collaborate with various local networks of the United Nations Global Compact.

Mr. Yang Zhao, the Executive Deputy District Mayor of Pudong New District in Shanghai, attended the exchange meeting.  He expressed that the United Nations Global Compact is committed to promoting corporate sustainable development, calling on businesses to adhere to internationally recognized values and principles.  He noted that this effort has played a positive role in establishing Pudong as a leading area for socialist modernization and in creating an excellent business environment.  Additionally, he welcomed more participating companies from the United Nations Global Compact to develop their businesses in Pudong New District.

The United Nations Global Compact (UNGC) is the world's largest international organization promoting corporate social responsibility and sustainable development, with over 20,000 business and non-business members from more than 170 countries. These members commit to uphold the ten principles of the Global Compact, which are based on United Nations agreements covering areas of human rights, labor standards, environment, and anti-corruption, and they report on their progress annually.
