PARRALEL MEETING 1: Winning the Present and the Future: Sustainability and Business Growth

Can short-term benefits and long-term returns be balanced? A growing number of Fortune 500 companies are proving that it's possible. Pursuing both social responsibility and profit, and achieving both, is becoming the key choice for large corporations to maintain continuous growth through economic cycles with sustainable practices and a long-term perspective. A report from McKinsey shows that companies with long-term strategies have an average market value $7 billion higher than those focusing solely on short-term goals, with revenue growth 47% greater and profit growth 36% higher.

This panel discussion will delve into the topics of sustainability and growth, exploring how businesses can generate economic returns while practicing sustainability and how to build a long-term sustainable growth model.

PARRALEL MEETING 2: The Localization Path of Cross-Border Expansion

Chinese companies, expanding globally, are increasingly prioritizing localization strategies to adapt and integrate into target markets. This includes not only localizing products and brands but also focusing on talent recruitment, marketing, and supply chain management. Localization has become a key element of their internationalization efforts.

When venturing overseas, companies first confront the challenges of cultural and legal differences. A well-executed localization strategy, particularly in hiring and marketing, helps them better assimilate into local markets, enhancing brand influence and market competitiveness. The rapid progress in digital technology and artificial intelligence (AI) offers new opportunities for localization. Moreover, companies must also understand ESG standards to effectively implement localization strategies in a dynamic market environment.

PANEL DISCUSSION: Navigating the Landscape of Rational Consumerism

The domestic consumer market has picked up since the start of this year, but consumers have become more rational in the post-pandemic era, as evidenced by the price cuts on Apple and Huawei smartphones.

Bain & Company’s latest figures reveal an 11% surge in overseas investment by Chinese firms in 2023, a leap from the previous year, with a 23% increase in the number of companies venturing abroad.

PANEL DISCUSSION:Towards Net Zero: Circular Economy and Green Industrial Transformation

According to data from the International Energy Agency, more than 130 countries have committed to net-zero emissions by the middle of this century. As this target approaches, it is necessary to take a closer look at how technological innovation and policy guidance can help us achieve this ambitious goal, as well as what obstacles lie ahead, and what role do businesses play in this process.

As the world increasingly prioritizes sustainable development, the circular economy has risen as a key force in propelling green transition and industrial upgrade. Companies have a vital role to play in this journey. What challenges do they encounter in the shift to green practices? How can they leverage the circular economy to revitalize traditional industries and improve recycling of resources?
