For achieving steady growth in performance in a complex macro environment and outstanding ESG performance.ESGoutstanding performance
According to "Asian Business Governance", in 2023, in the face of the complex and ever-changing global external environment, if companies want to achieve steady growth in business, finance, operational indicators, etc., they need to have good strategic planning and demonstrate strong operational resilience. Even in the complex macro background, it is more important for enterprises to take a proactive and responsible approach to sustainable development than ever before.
"Asian Business Governance" pointed out that in 2023, despite the challenges still faced by the global economy due to geopolitical factors and so on, Fosun still maintains its strategic stability, focuses on its main business, steadily develops, improves the operational capabilities of its advantageous industries, and achieves stable performance. In a complex external operating environment, as the CEO of a global large-scale private enterprise, Mr. Chen Qiyu and Mr. Xu Xiaolian have been actively leading Fosun to not only manage the company well, but also continuously strengthen its sustainable development management, proactively assume corporate social responsibility, actively carry out environmental, social and governance (ESG) work, and utilize Fosun's global industrial resources and strengths to continue to create a better world, thus granting Mr. Chen Qiyu and Mr. Xu Xiaolian the "Best CEO Award in the Asia-Pacific Region".
Mr. Chen Qiyu, Executive Director and Co-CEO of Fosun International, said: "Fosun has always adhered to its innovation-driven strategy and used innovation to promote industry development and better serve society. In recent years, our R&D of anti-cancer drugs has continuously achieved new breakthroughs. For example, Fosun Kite's Yescarta (axicabtagene ciloleucel) is the first CAR-T cell therapy product approved for sale in China, enabling more and more Chinese lymphoma patients to have longer survival periods, even achieving 'cure'. Fosun hopes to harvest more innovative results through its innovative strategy and help people 'live healthily over 121 years'. In addition, in order to promote Fosun's sustainable development, in addition to technological innovation, it will continue to implement the 'double carbon' target, continue to deepen its work in the ESG field, and jointly create a happy ecology.
Mr. Xu Xiaolian, Executive Director and Co-CEO of Fosun International, said: "Globalization is the core development lever embedded in Fosun's genes. Fosun has always been good at using global talents and enlisting global resources with global power to enable more good products and services to benefit more families. In addition to the 'hard power' of business globalization, the 'soft power' accumulated by Fosun in the globalization process is equally precious. At the end of last year and the beginning of this year, we successfully held the Yuyuan Lantern Festival, a national intangible cultural heritage project that has been held for 29 consecutive years, in Paris, showcasing the charm of Chinese culture to the world. In the future, Fosun will continue to strengthen its global operational capabilities and create more good products for global families with the power of a global enterprise, assuming the responsibility of a global enterprise."
