In an interview with Shanghai-based shipping magazine, our chairman discussed his views on the shipping industry, corporate management, and global development.

In the new era, continuous evolution is necessary. The world needs to bridge differences, rebuild trust, and create a new way of life and a new world based on awakened consciousness. Our chairman highlighted the significance of China’s “Belt and Road” initiative, which promotes openness, inclusiveness, and sustainable development, which he sees as a strategic guide for IMC Group’s investment direction. In the interview, he also expressed his intention to focus more on the Chinese mainland market in the future.

Businesses must have a moral view of the utmost kindness. This is in recognition of integrating ESG and impact investing into business development, and the need for businesses to not solely pursue profit but also consider their impact on the environment and society.

The key to enabling impact investing to address the needs of a new era is through creativity and embracing new creations. For example, our chairman sees the inevitability of cleaner energy replacing fossil energy and artificial intelligence gradually replacing certain human labour. He therefore encouraged businesses to actively evolve and adapt to these changes.

Overall, these insights reflect his vision of a dynamic and inclusive future where our chairman advocates for sustainable development, corporate responsibility, and the utilisation of Chinese cultural values in shaping a better world.
