On February 28, 2024, the first session of the "Walk into United Nations Global Compact Member Companies" series, focusing on "Corporate Social Responsibility and Social Practices in Sustainable Development," was held at the BFC Bund Financial Center in Shanghai. Mr. Qu Weifeng, CEO of Leverage, was also invited to attend the event.

In 2022, the United Nations Global Compact (UNGC) launched the "China Strategy," aiming to mobilize more Chinese companies to make positive contributions toward achieving the Sustainable Development Goals and maximize the collective impact of Chinese enterprises. 2024 marks the 20th anniversary of the UNGC's introduction of the ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) concept. At this significant historical moment, the UNGC officially launched the "Walk into United Nations Global Compact Member Companies" series, with this event being the first session of the series.

The meeting began with opening speeches and welcoming remarks. Ms. Liu Meng, the UN Global Compact's Regional Representative for the Asia-Pacific, and Mr. Zhu Wenrui, Global Partner at Fosun, Vice President of Fosun International, Chief Strategic Empowerment Officer (CSEO), and General Manager of the Public Affairs Department, both extended a warm welcome to all the guests attending the event.

In the following guest sharing session, Professor Wang Zhile, former Director of the Multinational Corporations Research Center at the Chinese Academy of International Trade and Economic Cooperation (CATRC), and a member of the UN Global Compact’s Expert Group on Principle 10, delivered a keynote speech titled "Strengthening Compliance Management to Promote ESG Practices." He emphasized that companies should actively comply with laws and regulations, and establish sound internal controls and compliance mechanisms to ensure their operations are conducted within legal and compliant frameworks. Compliance management not only reflects corporate responsibility but also forms the foundation for protecting a company's reputation and interests.

In the afternoon, the guests participated in a tour of Fosun Group's corporate social responsibility and sustainability initiatives.
