The eventful year of the tiger is drawing to a close, and the approaching year of the rabbit will soon be bringing a refreshing start. As we make our preparations for the “12th Five-Year Plan”, we are greeted with another annual spring festival. At this wonderful point in time when we are ringing out the old and looking forward to the new, I, on behalf of the China National Chemical Corporation, would like to express my festive greetings and cordial wishes to all staff members and their families, as well as to all parties that support China’s chemical industry. I would also like to express my gratitude to the staff members who will be continuing their diligent work on the production and management lines during the festival.
Over the past year, we have looked deep into the study of the Scientific Outlook on Development, shifting our approach towards fostering development, taken various challenges and hardships in our stride, and made remarkable achievements in every field of work. As a result, we have fulfilled the goals and tasks of the “11th Five-Year Plan”, laying a solid foundation for the continued development of China’s chemical industry during this new period of opportunities.
The New Year, the inaugural year of the “12th Five-Year Plan”, is also a year for us to follow our dreams and compose our own magnificent chapters. At this moment when some things begin again while others take on a completely new look, we have the opportunity to not only review the past but also to look toward the future.
In the New Year, we should all fully implement the spirit of the Fifth Plenum of the 17th Central Committee and the deployments of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the State Council. We should conscientiously study and act in accordance with the conclusions of the recently-held group work conference, make clear the planning and tasks for the “12th Five-Year Period”, and follow the general guidelines. We should endeavor to work closely along the principle lines and around the key areas, and put various tasks into practice.
In the New Year, we should focus on taking a scientific approach to development, to change the way in which development is pursued. We should speed up structural adjustments, and divert our attention towards reducing debt and increasing efficiency, accomplishing world-class manufacturing, team building and integrating subsidies’ legal representatives. Efforts should also go towards strengthening marketing, project management, and technical innovation systems, giving full play to the political guarantee of the party building work.
In the New Year, we will focus on our strategic goal of “2215”, which means our asset size and operating revenue will each surpass 200 billion yuan, total profits will exceed 10 billion yuan, and we will march into the ranks of the Fortune 500 enterprises. We will be of one heart and exert ourselves to lay a solid foundation for ChemChina to become a first-rate international chemical enterprise.
In the New Year, apart from ensuring progress in production and management, we will devote ourselves to establishing a resource-saving, environmentally-friendly, and intrinsically safe enterprise. An approach of social responsibility in dealing with central enterprises will be taken, a harmonious enterprise will be constructed, and salaries, benefits and training and education for all employees will be upgraded, taking a new step forward in promoting the full development and improvement of China’s chemical workers.
The New Year bell rings, firecrackers pop everywhere, banquet smells waft from houses, and wishes are made for good health and wellbeing. May all staff members have a pleasant spring festival, remain in good health, and enjoy a happy family life.
