SHANGHAI, CHINA - Media OutReach Newswire - 6 November 2024 - The Asia Responsible Enterprise Awards (AREA) 2024 China Chapter recognized companies leading the way in sustainable business practices. These companies have set new standards for corporate responsibility in Asia and are making a positive impact on the region's future.



The AREA is a prestigious awards program organized by regional NGO Enterprise Asia to recognize companies that excel in ESG and sustainability. AREA has been highlighting thousands of ESG programs for over a decade, honoring organizations that are leaders in sustainability while encouraging more companies to adopt sustainable practices. This year's winners have positively impacted the lives of millions of individuals with their beneficial ESG initiatives.

Chairman of Enterprise Asia, Dr. Fong Chan Onn, said in his welcome speech that climate change and social inequality are interconnected issues requiring a comprehensive approach to sustainability. He emphasized that the adoption of ESG principles encourages companies to think outside of the box and promote innovation, reduce risks, attract talented employees, and gain customer loyalty. This holistic approach is aligned with global sustainability goals and positions businesses as leaders in long-term transformative change across the globe.

Since its inception in 2011, the AREA has been commending businesses from diverse sectors for their exceptional contributions under the categories of Social Empowerment, Investment in People, Health Promotion, Green Leadership, Corporate Governance, Circular Economy Leadership, Corporate Sustainability Reporting, and Responsible Business Leadership. In this year's China Chapter, a rigorous evaluation process was undertaken to assess over 100 submissions from various companies. The judging criteria, which emphasized relevance, efficacy, and sustainability, ensured that only the most exemplary initiatives were recognized.
