As regulations tighten, investor expectations rise, and consumer demands evolve, companies are striving to reduce the adverse environmental impacts of their operations, with supply chain optimization becoming a central focus. Due to the shortcomings of traditional supply chains in ESG risk management and the threats they pose to supply chain security and stability, industries across the board are urgently rethinking and reshaping supply chain management models to promote sustainable development.

Sustainable Supply Chain Management for International Enterprises

Mr. Qu's speech focused on the ESG challenges facing enterprises in the current global business environment and emphasized the critical role of supply chain management in achieving corporate sustainable development goals.

In his speech, Mr. Qu first pointed out that in the face of regulatory requirements, investor expectations, and shifting consumer preferences, companies must take proactive measures to reduce their negative environmental impacts. He emphasized that as a vital component of corporate activities, supply chain sustainability has become an area that companies must prioritize. He noted that the shortcomings of traditional supply chains in ESG risk management could lead to issues in supply chain security and stability. Therefore, rethinking and reshaping supply chain management models to promote sustainable development has become an urgent task for all industries.

Subsequently, Mr. Qu shared Leverage's professional expertise in providing one-stop solutions and value-added services, including factory audits, certification, product inspections, green supply chain management, training, and carbon neutrality planning. He detailed how Leverage helps clients gain a competitive advantage in the global supply chain and become their most trusted business partner.

Mr. Qu also introduced international and domestic regulatory frameworks for ESG, including the standards issued by the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB), the climate-related disclosure rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), and the "Self-Regulatory Guidelines for Listed Companies" previously issued by the China Securities Regulatory Commission. He suggested that companies need to understand and adapt to these frameworks to ensure the transparency and compliance of their ESG reports.

Finally, he proposed a series of recommendations, including abandoning illusions, proactively fulfilling responsibilities, collaborating, pursuing sustainable development, and actively participating in international ratings to enhance comprehensive competitiveness. He called on companies to take action, optimize development paths, enhance competitiveness, and demonstrate China's actions and responsibilities in the global supply chain.
