"The Report to 20th CPC National Congress mentioned, ‘Accelerate the construction of a modernized economic system and focus on improving productivity. This is also what Midea Group always pursues. Liu Yulong said, the company will improve production efficiency and promote the wide application of its industrial Internet platform products in more areas. Meanwhile, it will strive to overcome key technical issues in the industry, share the digital experience to more enterprises and help to boost the high-quality development of Guangdongs manufacturing industry.


 

Pursuing green and sustainable development in a long run 


 

The Report to 20th CPC National Congress calls for green development and promoting harmonious coexistence between human and nature. Li Guolin, Vice President of Midea Group, was deeply encouraged by the Report. He said it is also our responsibility and mission to pursue green, low-carbon and sustainable development.


 

In recent years, under the guidance of the green strategy, Midea Groups business divisions and factories are vigorously carrying out green and low-carbon transformation by promoting ecological chain and reducing carbon. In order to accelerate the global layout of Midea Group and seize the opportunity of carbon neutrality, on October 14 this year, a new production and research base was officially landed in Italy, marking a new track for Midea to carry out green and sustainable development. In addition, this year, Midea has built up several green manufacturing benchmark factories, which are expected to be built as "super-energy-efficient" and "zero-carbon" factories according to international standards.


 

Li Guolin said that in the future, under the concept of "lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets” and on the basis of carbon reduction, Midea Group will vigorously build a global green and low-carbon supply chain system, and promote the green and coordinated development of the industrial chain, making green and low-carbon development as an advantage for enterprises, and let people enjoy the fruits of green and low-carbon development.
