Collaborating for Green Development
With growing global awareness of environmental protection, more companies are recognizing their social responsibility and actively participating in environmental initiatives. As a leading player in the Chinese automotive industry, Chery has long been committed to promoting environmental sustainability. This collaboration with IUCN represents another significant step forward in Chery's efforts to contribute to environmental conservation.
In the presence of global users, media, and partners, the representatives from Chery and IUCN have jointly committed to this landmark collaboration. The collaboration will focus on restoring natural resources, conserving biodiversity, and promoting sustainable ecological development, driving forward global environmental efforts.
Rachel Asante, Senior Programme Coordinator, Climate Change and Energy Transition, IUCN, praised Chery's contributions to environmental conservation in her speech, expressing her hopes for both parties to make even greater strides together for global environmental protection. She emphasized that Chery, as a socially responsible company, plays a key role in advancing global sustainability. "Chery is not only reducing its environmental footprint but also setting an example for the automotive industry." Chairman of Chery Group, Yin Tongyue also delivered an enthusiastic speech, stating that as IUCN's largest global corporate partner, Chery is committed to advancing ecological sustainability by investing in technological innovation and promoting green mobility solutions. This collaboration with IUCN marks a major step in Chery's environmental efforts and is key to achieving its sustainability goals.
This partnership not only underscores Chery's firm commitment and actions in environmental protection but also highlights its proactive stance and leadership in global sustainable development. Moving forward, Chery will continue to uphold its environmental philosophy, explore and practice sustainable development, and contribute more actively to global environmental protection.
Deepening Global Environmental Cooperation, Leading Green Actions
In the past year, Chery has made significant progress in fulfilling its corporate social responsibility globally, especially in the field of green environmental protection. Since signing the Memorandum of Cooperation with IUCN on October 17, 2023, more than 600 media outlets and users from 40 countries and regions worldwide have witnessed this historic moment, marking the beginning of broad cooperation in environmental protection. In February this year, during the launch event of Chery's OMODA brand in Spain, the company announced its partnership with IUCN, focusing on protecting Mediterranean Posidonia oceanica through the implementation of Nature-based Solutions (NbS), aimed at strengthening coastal resilience against climate change.
Looking ahead, Chery and IUCN will expand their cooperation globally, especially in countries such as Malaysia, South Africa, Vietnam, the UK, and Spain, focusing on key areas like water and ocean conservation, biodiversity preservation, and carbon reduction initiatives. Through a series of innovative environmental measures, the two parties plan to support and promote the protection, restoration, and sustainable management of expected 10 million hectares of forests, grasslands, wetlands, and marine ecosystems, injecting strong momentum into global green development and jointly protecting our planet.
Practicing ESG Philosophy, Driving High-Quality Development
