On July 25, 2019, Mr. Yan, the Secretary-General of World Yans General Chamber of Commerce (WYGCC) visited China Biodiversity Conservation and Green Development Foundation (CBCGDF) and exchanged the work of both parties with Dr. Zhou Jinfeng, the Secretary-General of CBCGDF, and discussed the intention of cooperation. Both sides expressed their willingness to use their respective resource advantages to further communicate and conduct business.

“Serving the enterprises is the number one priority” is an important working instruction that Dr. Zhou presented at the CBCGDF’s working meeting in early 2019. In the first half of 2019, CBCGDF has been actively interacting with enterprises. With the advancement of the economy and society, enterprises must not only be responsible for making profits, but also be responsible for the environment and bear corresponding social responsibilities.

It is reported that the World Yans General Chamber of Commerce (WYGCC) is an international economic alliance initiated by Yan's business entrepreneurs who have succeeded at home and abroad. It is a non-profit social group formed by Yan's entrepreneurs and industrialists who have a certain economic strength in the world. The place of registration is in Hong Kong, China; the secretariat is located in Nanjing, China; the Director General is located in Beijing, China. The WYGCC is composed of Yan's business entrepreneurs, experts and professors, social celebrities, social activists and other outstanding Yan families.

Mr. Yan hopes that in the next work, CBCGDF can help the enterprises in the Chamber of Commerce to take responsibility for consumers, communities and the environment while creating profits, taking legal responsibility to shareholders and employees, and implementing the company's social responsibility.

Dr. Zhou affirmed Mr. Yan's thoughts. According to Dr. Zhou, environmental public interest litigation (EPIL) is one of the main tasks of CBCGDF. The environmental public interest litigation cases filed by CBCGDF against the environment pollution caused by enterprises is actually rectifying the enterprises that polluted the environment. It is a pertinent suggestion to enterprises in the fields of ecological civilization, green development and environmental protection. to supervise them to implement corporate social responsibility. In addition, sustainable tourism, old clothes recycling, legislative changes, international exchanges, etc., are also the work that CBCGDF values and steadily advances.

Dr. Zhou said that as the voice of social organizations is increasingly being watched and valued, CBCGDF hopes to continue to improve itself to cater to the development trend and do a good job in various services. Through cooperation with companies, CBCGDF will do its best to make every effort to contribute to environmental protection and sustainable development.
