Dr. Guo Peiyuan believes that the "CSR Ten Trends" describes the most important dimensions of China's CSR and sustainable development.

Mr. Robert Rubinstein explained the application of sustainable development in the financial field from the perspective of asset management.

Mr. Wayne Silby analyzed the development environment of China's CSR from an international perspective.

At the end of the meeting, Dr. Lu Jianzhong, president of Weir China, summed up the thoughts of the night.

There are two controversies. One is whether China can become a global CSR leader. And another is whether the global SDG2030 should be changed due to different operations.

To be mentioned , In this meeting, the discussants reached two agreements. One is that the concept of sustainability should be integrated into the core business. And Everyone needs to use the vision of sustainable development to promote technology.

Controversies and consensuses are the results of the collision of experience in corporate CSR practices. With the changes in China's market environment and policy environment, China has achieved the breakthrough in public health, facilities design and construction, renewable energy, and environmental protection. And China do have huge possibility to be the leader of CSR.
