On January 30, CECEP held a Party committee meeting, a chief executives’ meeting and an interim meeting of the board of directors. The meetings decided to, with support from its subsidiaries CECEP Ecotech Co., Ltd. and China National Environmental Protection Group, donate 30 million yuan (RMB4.3 million) to Hubei Province, including 24 million yuan (RMB3.5 million) to Wuhan and 6 million yuan (RMB861,000) to Xianning and other cities, to help the province’s efforts in preventing and controlling the pneumonia epidemic caused by a novel coronavirus. Additionally, the group company also planned to donate protective clothing, masks and other protective materials in batches to Wuhan, Xianning and other cities.

After the outbreak of pneumonia caused by a novel coronavirus, the Party committee of New Era Health Industry (Group) Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of CECEP, immediately held an enlarged meeting to convey General Secretary Xi Jinping’s important instructions on epidemic prevention and control work as well as the spirit of the meeting of the Standing Committee of the CPC Central Committee Political Bureau on the issue, and arranged work of epidemic prevention and control. The group’s leadership required its frontline production enterprises to immediately allocate urgently needed materials and quickly join the battle against the epidemic.

In the face of the fast-spreading epidemic of pneumonia infected by novel coronavirus throughout the country, and following the unified deployment of the CPC Central Committee and the State Council and the requirement of the Party committee of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, the Party committee of CECEP has taken the epidemic prevention and control as the paramount task at present, and mobilized, deployed and strengthened related work in an all-round way. Seven medical waste disposal enterprises of CECEP Ecotech Co., Ltd. launched emergency plans as more than 500 staff members worked through the holidays to fulfill their duty. As the “angel” behind the “angel in white,” the medical waste disposal enterprises are firmly taking on the heavy task of safeguarding public health.

Special agricultural products from Songxian County of Henan Province and the Fuchuan Yao Autonomous County of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, which are targets of “paired assistance” for CECEP, as well as from poverty-stricken villages aided by its subsidiary companies, were displayed at the trade fair, including free-range chicken, wormwood and red date tea, orange, Se-rich brown rice, millet and peanut oil. CECEP employees showed great interest in those products and were enthusiastic to buy, with an aim to help farmers in those areas by consumption. During the two-day event, more than 4,000 agricultural products were sold, and trade unions of CECEP subsidiaries signed purchase deals with enterprises in those poverty-stricken areas.
