More than 280 guests from 96 central SOEs, local state-owned assets administrations and SOEs, and mainstream media attended the ceremony.
During the event, China Energy Conservation and Environmental Protection Group (CECEP) released its CSR Report 2017-2018, showcasing the company’s performance and progress in social responsibility management in the period 2017-2018. It is the eighth time CECEP has released a CSR Report, which has received five-star (top-level) ratings from the Chinese Expert Committee on CSR Report Rating for four consecutive years. The company’s successful practices in targeted poverty alleviation have been included in the Central SOEs Corporate Social Responsibility Blue Book (2019).
The Report presents a complete picture to stakeholders regarding CECEP’s CSR management system and practice progress. Featuring content focused on hot and important issues of the times and the company’s business operation, as well as a distinctive style of design, it is a CSR report with high quality, in-depth insight, characteristics and attractions.
Focusing on Topics of the Times
During the period 2017-2018, CECEP adhered to new development ideas and made continuous efforts to promote high-quality development. Following the Jurong Strategy, CECEP focuses on serving national development plans and initiatives such as the great protection of the Yangtze River, the construction of Xiongan New Area, the coordinated development of Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei, the National Ecological Civilization Pilot Zone (Hainan), and the Belt and Road Initiative. In May 2018, CECEP was designated by the leading group for promoting the development of the Yangtze River Economic Belt as a primary platform for pollution control along the Yangtze River Economic Belt. By the end of 2018, CECEP had carried out 254 projects along the Yangtze River Economic Belt, making a pioneering contribution to the great protection of the Yangtze River.
CECEP came up with an innovative solution to solid waste treatment in “two parks and one chain,” which makes a positive contribution to solving the solid waste treatment problem along the Yangtze River Economic Belt.
Aiming to meet people’s aspiration for a better life, CECEP has extensively carried out targeted poverty alleviation campaigns, with a joint force for poverty relief forming across its subsidiaries. From 2017 to 2018, CECEP invested 9.3 million yuan to help Songxian County of Henan Province and Fuchuan Yao Autonomous County of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region shake off poverty. It has actively implemented “Five Poverty Alleviation Programs,” namely illuminating the countryside, supporting education, water supply in mountainous areas, industrial assistance and key projects, and launched 18 new energy and clean energy projects in poverty-stricken areas of Xinjiang and Qinghai, which provided more than 400 jobs to the local population and boosted local economic and social development.
