As a member of the UN Global Compact and the World Business Council for Sustainable Development, COSCO Group released the 2006 Sustainable Development Report on Dec. 20, 2006. The report won high praises from the United Nations and became exemplary report of UN Global Compact .

联合国秘书长潘基文亲笔致信邀请魏家福总裁并邀请在全球契约领导人峰会上发言。充分说明了联合国对中远集团履行全球契约取得的成绩和做出的努力的认可和褒奖。

The 2006 Sustainable Development Report of COSCO Group is the first report of Chinese enterprise and ocean shipping industry that became exemplary report of UN Global Compact of. Ban Ki-moon, Secretary-General of the United Nations wrote a letter to Capt. Wei Jiafu by himself and invited Capt. Wei to give a speech at the Global Compact Leaders’ Summit.

中远集团成为联合国全球契约领导人峰会的核心之一，代表了全球契约新的推动力量，中远集团已经成为不仅仅是中国的，而且是世界引领全球契约的关键性企业。所以在新一届联合国秘书长强力推动全球契约的大势下，中远集团履行全球契约的行动和进程已经成为全世界全球契约的关注点。

COSCO Group is a core member of the UN Global Compact Leaders’ Summit and represents new driving force of Global Compact.

Under the situation that the new secretary general of the United Nation has exerted great efforts to promote the Global Compact, COSCO Group’s actions and progresses to perform Global Compact have become the focuses of Global Compact of the world .

We released the 2006 Sustainable Development Report of COSCO Group and gathered together with related parties who care about the development and growth of COSCO Group in recent five decades to exchange COSCO Group’s efforts to perform social responsibilities and realize the sustainable development of COSCO Group and the world.

下面我宣布发布会开始：

Now, I would like to announce the start of press conference.

首先向相关方代表发布并介绍中远集团 2006年度可持续发展报告。为扩大可持续发展报告的影响，除印发了纸面印刷报告书外，还运用科技手段制作了更为人性化的电子网络报告和影视报告，下面以生动的影视方式发布中远集团 2006年可持续发展报告。

Firstly, we will release and introduce the 2006 Sustainable Development Report of COSCO Group to representatives of related parties. With an aim to expand the influences of sustainable development report, we also compiled more human-oriented electronic report and video report besides printed report. Now, let’s release the 2006 Sustainable Development Report of COSCO Group in more vivid method.

中远集团 2006年度可持续发展报告是按照全球公开报告倡议组织 GRI报告指南 2006 版换版编写的，为保证报告的可靠性，挪威船级社和中企联全球契约推进办公室联合对中远集团可持续发展报告体系及报告进行了审核，

The 2006 Sustainable Development Report of COSCO Group was compiled according to the 2006 GRI Guidelines. In order to ensure the reliability of the report, DNV and the China Enterprise Confederation Global Compact Promotion Office jointly audited the COSCO Group sustainable development reporting system and the report.

下面由挪威船级社副总裁托马斯先生讲话并宣读中远集团可持续发展报告审核声明。

Now, let’s invite Thomas Vogth-Eriksen, Vice President of DNV, to announce the audit report of COSCO Group sustainable development report.

Dear Distinguish Guests:

尊敬的客户：

On behalf of DNV, I am honored to present the verification results of COSCO’s 2006 sustainability report to you.

在此， 我很荣幸代表 DNV 宣布 2006年度中远集团可持续发展报告的验证结果

As you might know COSCO’s 2005 sustainability report was listed by the Global Compact Office of the United Nation as one of the “notable” reports and made a big impact in the industry. The Cosco Group is the first Chinese SOE that compiled sustainable development report according to GRI, and in total achieved a “five first” for this report.

大家应该都知道，由联合国全球契约推进办公室发布的 2005年度中远可持续发展报告，成为了业内最值得关注的报告之一，并引起了巨大的反响。中远集团是第一个按照 GRI报告编写可持续发展报告的国有企业，且创造了五个第一。

We are glad to observe from the 2006 report that COSCO Head Office has developed an on-line system for data reporting and 15 subsidiaries companies in the group has committed to establish a sustainability management system and actively contributed to the preparation of the 2006 report.

在 2006年度报告中我们很高兴的发现， 中远集团已经开发了可持续发展报告数据收集和信息处理系统，另外中远的 15家分公司已纳入可持续发展管理体系，并积极参与了 2006年度报告准备工作。

In our opinion, the COSCO Sustainability Report 2006 provides a fair representation of the level of implementation of sustainability policies, and DNV has not found any systematic or major errors.

2006年度可持续发展报告公正的阐述了中远集团对可持续发展方针的执行情况， DNV在该报告中没有发现任何系统误差和重大不符合事项。

The quality of the report can be concluded as following:报告质量总结如下：

AccuracyNeed Improvement, We have not found any material inaccuracies that may affect significantly the comparability of selected key performance indicators; However the reporting boundaries for some indicators are not clearly defined, also the internal verification mechanism of subsidiaries are in-sufficient.

准确性有待改进，我方未发现任何实质性的、可能极大影响主要指标准确性的因素。总体的准确度是可以接受的。但是，某些指标边界定义不清楚，下属公司对数据的准确性没有较好的保证机制。

NeutralityAcceptable, We conclude that the information contained in the report is unbiased; 中立性我们认为报告中所披露的信息是不含偏见的，可接受的。

TimelessNeed improvement;时效性有待改进

ResponsivenessThe overall responsiveness toward external parties is acceptable. However, improvement can be made for internal employees. 响应性 对内部员工满意调查未进行。总体上对外部关键利益相关方响应性较高。

ComparabilityAcceptable, The information in the report is presented in a format that allows users to see positive and negative trends in performance on a year to-year basis, however external bench marking data is not sufficient;

可比较性该《报告》中提供的信息能够让读者观察到年度业绩的变化趋势，数据收集系统已经在有效运行，可积累历年的可持续发展数据，内部可对比性将逐年加强。但同同行业等外部的数据比较较为缺乏，总体的可比较性比去年有所进步。

We also have the following recommendation as reference for continuous improvement:• The accountability and mechanism for implementing sustainability should be clearly defined.• The strategy for sustainability should be clearly defined,

建议在执行审查的过程中 ,我方提出了如下建议 :• 企业可持续发展的决策、实施的职责及机制宜明确规定；• 企业可持续发展的战略应清晰定义并有可执行性；

• Based on identified critical indicators, relevant goals and objectives should be established• The data collection and assurance processes should be deployed to all levels of the organization• Implement sustainability systems to all the subsidiaries.

• 要把关键的企业社会责任指标转化为相应的管理体系目标，以改进企业社 会责任绩效；• 对以总部员工为基础的报告数据，宜扩大到包括子公司的社会责任数据；• 应完善子公司的企业可持续发展管理系统及数据准确性保证系统。

We also understand COSCO plans to release the 2007 report in the first half of 2008, and intends to enhance the sustainability management system by integrating it with the existing quality/environmental/safety management systems at all of its subsidiaries. This is a very bold initiative which demonstrates the full commitment to this process by the top management of COSCO. In response to the COSCO initiative, DNV will develop a new auditing methodology to fully integrate management system audits with sustainability report verification to increase the effectiveness and efficiency of the 3rd party verification service.

我们还要提到的是，中远集团管理高层已作出大胆的决策，计划在 2008年上半年提交的 2007年度可持续发展报告中，结合现所有子公司的质量 / 环境 /安全管理体系，以增进中远可持续发展管理体系。应中远集团的要求，为增强第三方验证服务效率及有效性， DNV 将开发一种新的审核方法学，来完善管理体系审核和企业可持续发展报告验证的整合。

We look forward to further develop our cooperation in 2008.

期望我们在 2008年能有更好的合作！

Thank you all and congratulations to Captain Wei and the COSCO Group.

最后，祝贺魏总裁及中远全体员工。谢谢大家！

现在请挪威船级社副总裁托马斯先生和联合国全球契约理事会理事陈英女士共同向魏家福总裁颁发可持续发展报告审核声明证书。

Now, let’s invite Vogth-Eriksen, Vice President of DNV, and Chen Ying, Councilor of the Board of the UN Global Compact, to award the audit certificate of sustainable development report to Vice President Li Jianhong of COSCO Group.

在对中远集团可持续发展管理体系审核的同时，中国船级社、挪威船级社和中国安全生产科学研究院对中远（集团）总公司质量、环境和职业安全管理体系进行了第三方复评，认为中远（集团）总公司在以质量、环境和职业安全整合管理体系的基础上，已经完成了指标化管理体系的改造，

Besides auditing the sustainable development management system of COSCO Group, CCS, DNV and China Safety Production Science Research Institute had conducted third-party review on quality, environment and occupational safety management systems of COSCO Group headquarters. They believe that COSCO Group headquarters had completed the reorganization of index-based management system and established qualitative sustainable development management system by integration quality, environment and occupational safety management systems.

初步建立了量化的可持续发展管理体系，成为中国第一家量化可持续发展管理体系的企业。中远集团可持续发展管理体系与世界级跨国公司同步，充分显示中远集团在管理体系方法应用的领先地位。

It has become the first Chinese enterprise that realizes qualitative sustainable development management system. COSCO Group sustainable development management system is in synchronization with world-class transnational company, showing COSCO Group’s leading position in application of management systems and methods.

下面请中国船级社总裁李科浚先生代表三家认证机构向管理者代表李建红副总裁颁发认证证书。

Now, let’s invite Li Kejun, President of CCS, to award the certificate to Li Jianhong on behalf of aforesaid three institutes.

作为联合国全球契约成员单位，中远集团全面履行全球契约，努力为建设和谐世界做贡献，下面请联合国全球契约办公室高级官员杜比先生致贺词。

As a member unit of UN Global Compact, COSCO Group had performed the Global Compact in a comprehensive way and contributed to construction of harmonious world. Let’s invite Fred Dubee, Senior Official of the Board of the UN Global Compact, to give us a celebrating speech.

To be a world leader by maintaining a trustworthy relationship with all our stakeholders. All who know COSCO know that this mission statement is supported by a strong policy of proper decision-making, scientific management and quality services, to realize the development of, and harmonization between, an enterprise's value, environment and natural resources.

中远集团通过与所有利益相关方保持相互信任的关系而成为全球的领先者。所有熟悉中远的人都清楚，这项使命的背后有强大的决策策略、科学管理和质量服务的支撑，从而实现公司价值、环境和自然资源的发展与和谐。

In our world of today, the worth of a nation is no longer measured by its military and economic might but rather by the overall quality of life of its citizens, the harmony in which they develop and the contribution it is making to the harmony of the world. In our world of today, the value of worth of a company is no longer so much measure in short term profitability but in the complex of environmental, social and economic performance and the relationship between its stakeholders which is often referred to as corporate governance.

当今世界，一个国家的价值不仅仅局限在其军事和经济力量，而更多的体现在这个国家居民的综合生活质量、发展的和谐程度和其对世界和谐的贡献。在我们这个世界，一个公司的价值也不是仅靠利润率衡量，而是根据复杂的环境、社会和经济以及其与利益相关者的关系、即通常所说的“公司治理”。

Today, in releasing its latest Sustainability Report, COSCO is taking another significant step toward greater transparency and enhancing relationships built on trust.

今天，中远集团通过发布最新的可持续发展报告，向更深的透明度和增强信任关系建设方面又迈出了重要一步。

Today, Captain Wei Jiafu and all the COSCO crew are showing how they are implementing the principles of the Global Compact by making a “Communication On Progress” outlining I helpful detail challenges, successes and areas where more efforts are needed.

今天，魏家福船长和所有中远的船员们向世人表明，他们是如何履行全球契约的原则，通过“可持续发展报告进行中的沟通”方式详细勾画出中远面临的挑战、取得的成功和需要更多努力关注的领域。

Today, the women and men of COSCO are clearly demonstrating how they are working together to build a better and more sustainable company and how together they are contributing to the common effort of building a harmonious society in China and a better world for all.

今天，中远集团的全体员工清楚地展示了他们是如何共同努力建设一个更加美好和和谐的中远，如何为建设一个和谐的中国社会和更加美好的世界而共同奉献力量。

Today, is a time for congratulations to COSCO and to all those who have helped make this report so powerful including the SASAC, MOC, CEC and DNV, but above all a time for renewed commitment to the goals of Xiaokang, the ideals of the Global Compact and the mission and philosophy of COSCO.

今天，我要祝贺中远集团，以及所有令此报告如此有力的机构和人，包括国资委、交通部、中国企业联合会和挪威船级社。但更要祝贺我们对建设小康社会、对全球契约理念和中远的使命与信仰的重新承诺。

感谢杜比先生热情洋溢的致词。

Thank you Mr. Dubee for giving us such an ardent speech.

中远集团在实施全球契约方面取得的荣誉和地位，是在中企联全球契约推进办公室积极推动下取得的，下面请联合国全球契约理事会理事、中国企业联合会副理事长陈英女士讲话。

COSCO Group’s honors and position in UN Global Compact should be attributed to China Enterprise Confederation Global Compact Promotion Office’s efforts to promote the Global Compact. Now, let’s invite Chen Ying, Councilor of the Board of the UN Global Compact Vice-Councilor of the China Enterprise Confederation, to give a speech.

各位领导、出席今天会议的所有同事们：

Dear leaders and colleagues who present at the meeting:

今天我们再一次聚集到一起参加中国远洋集团 2006年可持续发展报告发布会。

Today, we gather together to attend the Press Conference for Release of 2006 Sustainable Development Report of COSCO Group.

魏总裁再一次请大家来，因为他重视这份报告。他和他的同事们用 800 多艘船，把中国和世界 160 多个国家连接起来，从 1500 多个港口传递着中国的改革发展信息，中国人的精神和中国企业在全球化中的作用。这份报告就是中远起这样的作用和融入全球体系的一个小小的工具。事情虽小，但它代表着一种变革的远见和速度。

Capt. Wei Jiafu invites you to participate the meeting for he has attached great importance to the report. Capt. Wei and his colleagues connect China with 160 countries worldwide with more than 800 vessels and convey information on reform and development of China, spirits of Chinese and functions of Chinese enterprises in globalization via more than 1,500 ports. The report plays such a role. It is a small tool for COSCO Group to be integrated into global system. It represents the farsightedness and speed for a reform.

我们再一次来，因为我们也重视这份报告。它让我们看到发自企业内心的对全世界的责任的驱动力。我们希望有一天这种世界公民的责任感成为每个中国人的动力。在与中远报告起草小组，挪威船级社，中国船级社同事共同工作的过程中，我们学到很多新的知识。中远的步伐在督促我们调整，让我们思考全球契约的发展方向是什么？它未来能够带给企业什么价值？

We come again for we also attach great importance to the report. It enables us to see enterprises’ sense of responsibilities to the world. We hope that such citizen sense of responsibilities can become the driving force of every Chinese. When working with report compilation team of COSCO Group, DNV and CCS, we learnt much new knowledge. Development step of COSCO Group urged us to make adjustments and think about the development direction of Global Compact and value to enterprises.

我听说中远集团有计划建立可持续发展委员会，同时建立预算，把这项工作列入企业正规职能体系中。如果中远集团能够这样做，就在新的一年中又迈进了一大步，它代表着一种趋势。我认为到现在为止，具体做这项工作的同志把报告编出来，指标定出来，体系建起来。未来如果专门机构和预算建立起来，那么从那一天开始，你们的工作性质变了。

I have got to know that COSCO Group plans to set up a Sustainable Development Committee and allocated expenditures to list the implementation of sustainable development into formal functional system of the enterprise. COSCO Group can make an important step-forward in the new year if it can do so. It represents a trend. So far, comrades engaged in this work had compiled the report, set up the indexes and established the system. If special institute and expenditure are established, your working nature will change.

魏总裁、二级公司和全体员工对你们工作的衡量标准就提高了。你们要把指标变为目标，要把经济投入变成经济产出。你们的工作要能与所有中远人一起诠释可持续发展的意义。胡锦涛主席最近再次强调的求真务实的精神是做好这项工作的保证。让我们期待着你们在新的起点上取得更大的成就。

The standards taken by Capt. Wei, subsidiaries of COSCO Group and all employees to measure you work will be elevated. You shall change indexes into targets and transform economical inputs into outputs. You shall elaborate the meaning of sustaianble development with all employees of COSCO Group. President Hu Jintao recently re-emphasized that truth-seeking spirits are guarantees to the work. Finally, wish you to make greater achievements at a new starting point.

谢谢！

Thank you!

感谢陈英女士的鼓励和鞭策。

Thank you Ms. Chen Ying for your encouragement and urges.

中远集团本着以人为本，善待员工，为中远集团的员工提供了实现价值的舞台，中远集团将全球契约十项原则融入日常管理运作程序，履行全球契约已经成为中远集团所有员工的自觉行为，下面请模范船长徐伯民代表船岸员工讲话。

COSCO Group has insisted on the principles of people-orientation and treating employees kindly and provided a stage for employees of COSCO Group to fulfill their value. COSCO Group has brought ten principles of Global Compact into its daily management and operation. Performance of Global Compact has become the voluntary behaviors of COSCO Group. Now, let’s invite Xu Bomin, exemplary captain, to give a speech on behalf of crewmembers.

尊敬的各位领导、各位嘉宾：今天，我作为长期服务于中远集团的一名船长，在这里参加中远集团“可持续发展报告”发布和沟通会，自己感到无比荣幸和自豪。服务于中远集团的广大船员，作为中远 8万多员工的一部分，正在亲身经历和深切感受着中远集团致力于经济发展、环境保护和承担社会责任，实现可持续发展的崇高实践。

Ladies and gentlemen, dear leaders and guests,It’s my great honor to attend this seminar for “Sustainability Report” as a veteran captain of COSCO. As a member of the eighty-thousand staff, I have been involved and witnessed the sublime practice of COSCO’s commitment to economic development, environmental protection, social responsibilities, and sustainable development.

中远集团以保护环境和节约资源为已任，从船舶节约燃油做起，加强技术投入和日常监督。随着远洋运输业的快速发展，船舶正向着大型化和高速化的方向发展，燃油耗量也在不断增加。为了尽最大可能减少燃油消耗，中远集团推行技术节能和管理节能两条腿走路的方针，最大限度节约资源。

Starting from saving the vessel-applied fuel oil, COSCO has taken environmental protection and energy conservation as his responsibility and enhanced its technology input and routine supervision. With the rapid development of ocean shipping, vessels are becoming larger and faster, which leads to the continual increase of oil consumption. In order to reduce the oil consumption to the least, COSCO holds onto the dual guideline of conserving energy by the means of both technology and management.

在技术节能方面，中远集团通过船舶主机安装燃油均质器、船舶主机气缸油供油系统改造、加强对老旧船的设备改造，以及船体采用新型油漆等，改善船舶推进装置燃烧功能，提高燃烧效率和降低船舶航行阻力，最终达到减少燃油消耗。

In technology, COSCO has installed fuel homogenizer in the main engine, rebuilt the cylinder oil supply system in the main engine, upgraded the equipment in the old ships, adopted new- type hull painting, and so on. With these measures, COSCO has improved the marine propeller’s burning behavior, increased the burning rate and decreased the ship sailing resistance, and ultimately reduced oil consumption.

在管理节能方面，中远集团通过控制加油环节，减少供油环节中出现短缺现象。合理制定船舶燃、润料油的消耗指标。加强设备的日常维护检修，保证主机保持较好的燃烧工况。

In management, COSCO has kept the oil supply under control to eliminate the oil shortage occurring in the supply system, made reasonable consumption indicators for fuel and lubricant oil, and strengthened the routine maintenance and repair of equipment to ensure the good burning behavior of the main engine.

中远集团尊重和维护广大船员的各项人权，特别是在健康与安全、自由以及工资福利等方面的权利。在为船员提供法规所规定的培训的同时，根据船员工作的特点，投资建立船员教育培训基地，给休假船员提供学习新知识、提高适岗能力的场所，使船员通过各种培训不断更新知识，提高工作技能。

COSCO respects and sticks up for the various human rights of its seamen, especially the right of health and safety, freedom, salary and welfare, and so on. While providing training as stipulated by laws and regulations, given the working pattern of seamen, COSCO has also invested in establishing a training base to provide a place for those on-leave seamen to learn new knowledge and improve their adaptation to their posts.

在船舶设立岸基地船员候船休息室、阅览室，方便船员上下船。安排部分船员家属随船，每年安排部分船员及家属疗休养，关心船员身心健康。针对船员工作场所局限性的特点，编辑制作“船员营养健康知识”光盘，并把健康宣传材料发到船上，帮助船员提升健康知识水平。

With these efforts, seamen update their knowledge and improve their techniques and abilities. COSCO has set up some on-shore retiring rooms and reading rooms for seamen to have a rest during the time of waiting and made it convenient for seamen to get on or off board. To further improve seamen’s psychological and physical health, COSCO allows some family members to stay on board and arranges some seamen and their families to enjoy some recreational leave every year.

中远集团通过设立船员家属联络站，形成了较为健全的船员家属工作网络。每年春节前到各地家属联络站走访慰问，为他们解决工作中的实际困难。

Given the small working space that the seamen are confined to, COSCO has made a disc of “Nutrition and Health Knowledge for Seamen” and taken those health brochures onto board to improve seamen’s health awareness. Based on the family contact stations for seamen, COSCO has already established a strong network for the seamen’s families. Every the Spring Festivals, COSCO leaders will visit each regional station to deliver their help and solutions.

中远集团十分重视船员的职业健康和工作安全。通过设立各级安委会组织，负责协调船舶安全生产和船员健康安全管理。通过实施三级安全培训制度，对新进船员进行安全教育和安全知识培训，以提高他们的安全作业技能。

COSCO attaches great importance to seamen’s occupational health and work safety. Safety Committee has been set up on every level to coordinate safe operation and manage seamen’s health and safety. COSCO has implemented a three-level safety training program. For the new seamen, the program gives them training on safety awareness and safety knowledge to improve their skills of safe work.

通过对船舶特种作业人员上岗安全资格证书培训，确保他们持证上岗，以保证安全操作。通过对船舶危险源识别和加大宣传和教育力度，以增强员工对重大危险源的关注，从而防止和减少劳动安全事故的发生。为了防止职业意外事故的发生，中远集团针对船舶工作特点制定了劳动防护用品配备标准和劳动防护用品监督管理规定，切实保障了船员在工作中的安全。

For the seamen on particular posts, the program offers them a safety certificate, ensuring that they take the posts with a safety certificate and are capable of safe operation. COSCO has enhanced its publicity and education to improve the staff’s awareness of the significant danger sources and thus prevent or reduce the occurrence of accidents. In order to avoid the occurrence of unexpected occupational accidents, COSCO has made the equipping standard and the regulation on supervision and control of the labor protection articles to ensure employees’ safety at the work place.

中远集团“注重履行社会责任、承担企业公民职责”的一贯做法，深深感动着我们长期工作和生活在生产一线的全体船员。“中远集团“履行全球契约、建设和谐企业、促进世界和谐”的郑重承诺，也深深鼓舞着我们服务于中远集团的每一名船员，我们愿意与中远集团的全体员工一起，为建设和谐中远，打造百年中远，实现中远集团又好又快和可持续发展而不懈努力！谢谢大家！

COSCO’s commitment to corporate social responsibilities and citizen responsibilities deeply moves all of us who have been working and living on its front line. Its promise to “Fulfill Global Compact, Build Harmonious Company, Boost World Peace” inspires every one of us to strive for building a harmonious COSCO, a long-lived COSCO, and a fast-growing COSCO. Let’s work hard for its sustainable development.Thank you.

感谢徐伯民船长。

Thanks you Capt. Xu Bomin.

中远集团履行全球契约也是落实国务院各部委特别是国资委作为出资人代表对中远集团的要求和期望，不断践行科学发展观，建立节约型企业和和谐企业，公开发布社会责任报告，自觉接受社会及各相关方的监督。

下面请国资委黄淑和副主任讲话。

It has fulfilled the scientific development view, established resource-efficient and harmonious enterprise, released social responsibility report in public and accepted the supervision of the society and related parties.

Now, let’s invite Huang Shuhe, Deputy Director of SASAC, to give a speech.

各位来宾，女士们，先生们：

It has enhanced environment protection, focused on energy saving and emission reduction, and increased S&T inputs. It implemented lean management, cared about growth of employees and realized healthy and rapid development.

今年中远集团发布的可持续发展报告，既反映出了企业强劲的可持续发展能力和一流的经营管理水平，更体现出企业在积极履行社会责任方面的新努力和新成效。中远集团积极履行社会责任的实践，展示了中央企业重价值、重道德、重责任、重义务的高尚追求，为树立我国负责任的发展中大国形象作出了贡献。

In 2006, COSCO Group took a lead to release the sustainable development report to the society. The report had become notable COP of UN Global Compact. The sustainable development report released by COSCO Group this year proves the strong sustainable development ability and top-grade operation and management levels of COSCO Group in performing social responsibilities and reflects its new efforts and achievements in performing social responsibilities. COSCO Group’s active efforts to perform social responsibilities show enterprises affiliated to the Central Government’ pursuit for value, ethics, responsibilities and obligations and contribute to the establishment of image of responsible developing country for China.

积极履行社会责任，是社会各界对中央企业的普遍期望，也是中央企业贯彻落实科学发展观的自觉行动。中央企业创新体制机制，夯实管理基础，优化资源配置，推动技术创新，实现了持续快速健康发展，经济效益和运行质量显著提高，为经济和社会发展的贡献日益突出。

中央企业积极履行社会责任，发布可持续发展报告或社会责任报告，不是为了出风头、赶时髦，而是把企业放在更高标准和更高起点上，按照科学发展观的要求加速企业经营模式的转变，以战略思维和国际眼光设计企业可持续发展道路，努力打造具有较强国际竞争力的国际一流大公司。中央企业大多是关系国家安全和国民经济命脉关键领域和重点行业的骨干企业，是参与国际竞争、体现国家综合实力和竞争力的主要力量。

Enterprises shall accelerate the transformation of operation mode according to scientific development view, design sustainable develop way with strategic thinking and international vision and try to build up top-grade companies with strong international competitiveness.

中央企业要与国际一流大公司同台竞技，必须不断增强社会责任意识，成为依法经营、自主创新、节能减排、和谐发展的表率。国务院国资委高度重视中央企业履行社会责任工作。荣融主任在中央企业负责人会议上多次对中央企业履行社会责任提出明确要求。

Most of enterprises affiliated to the Central Government are backbone enterprises engaged in key sectors and industries that are closely related to national safety and national economy of the State and are main forces to participate in international competition and realize comprehensive strength and competitiveness of the country.

中远集团 2005年可持续发展报告荣登联合国全球契约年度报告典范榜，与在座各位的积极参与和热情推动分不开的，在此表示衷心的感谢！

The 2005 Sustainable Development Report of COSCO Group became notable COP of UN Global Compact. This is closely related to your participation and enthusiasm. Hereon, I would like to show my sincere appreciation to you!

2007年 7月 5日，第二届联合国“全球契约”峰会在日内瓦万国宫召开，我应联合国秘书长潘基文阁下的邀请出席了会议，并做了题为《履行全球契约、建设和谐企业、促进世界和谐》的演讲，宣传了中国国家领导人提出的构建和谐世界的理念，介绍了中国企业在承担社会责任和履行全球契约十项原则的进程和主要做法，阐述了中远集团履行全球契约方面的措施，并向大会提出了承诺和倡议。

On July 5, 2007, the 2nd UN Global Compact Summit was held at the Palais des Nations, Geneva. At the summit, Capt. Wei Jiafu, President of COSCO Group, gave a keynote speech themed on “Performing Global Compact, Constructing Harmonious Enterprise and Promoting Harmony of the World”. In his speech, Capt. Wei promoted the concept of establishment a harmonious society put forward by governmental leaders of China and introduced processes and main tasks of Chinese enterprises in performing social responsibilities and ten principles of Global Compact.

中远集团加大了实施全球契约的力度，加快了实施步伐，在尊重人权、遵守劳工标准、安全、环保、反腐和反恐等方面全面履行全球契约十项原则的基础上，遵循《日内瓦宣言 -关注气候，联合国全球契约商界领袖宣言》，

He also elaborated COSCO Group’s efforts in performing Global Compact and made commitment and gave proposal to the summit. COSCO Group has enhanced the strengths on performing Global Compact and sped up the implementation speed. Based on the efforts to perform ten principles of Global Compact, such as respecting human rights, abiding by labor standards, safety, environmental protection, anti-corruption, and counter terrorist, COSCO Group has followed the Geneva Declaration – Caring for Climate, A Statement by the Business Leaders of the UN Global Compact and laid special emphases on energy-saving and emission reduction work.

特别加强了节能减排工作， 投入科技力量进行节能技术研究，并动员全体船岸员工，运用精益管理的思想和方法，提高能源效率，减少航运物流生产服务中的碳负，打造绿色交通。今天中远集团遵守《日内瓦宣言》和承诺，向全世界报告中远集团的可持续发展业绩。

It has exert efforts to research on energy-saving and emission reduction technologies and mobilize crewmembers to improve energy efficiency, reduce carbon dioxide in ocean shipping and logistics production and create green traffic with lean management concepts and methods. COSCO Group has abided by the Geneva Statement and the commitment and reported its sustainable development performance to the world.

中远集团充分认识到企业社会责任是在市场经济条件下，企业有目的、有计划地主动承担对利益相关者的责任，实现企业与社会的和谐及可持续发展目标。 社会责任和可持续发展不是企业家一时的行为，是企业持续的理性行为。为此， 2007年 3月召开经营管理委员会，中远集团领导和各公司总经理就全面履行全球契约进行了系统研究，中远集团一致认为：

COSCO Group has fully recognized that performance of corporate social responsibility is enterprise’s effort to shoulder the responsibilities to stakeholders voluntarily with certain purposes and plans and to realize the target of harmonious and sustainable development of enterprises and the society. Social responsibility and sustainable development are not momentary behavior of entrepreneurs, but continuous and rational behavior of enterprises. Therefore, COSCO Group held the meeting of COSCO Group Operation and Management Committee in March 2007.

履行全球契约规定的环保方面的原则，符合中央关于贯彻落实科学发展观、转变经济发展方式的要求；履行全球契约规定的人权、劳工方面的原则，符合中央关于“以人为本”的方针，符合十七大提出的关于构建社会主义“和谐社会”的要求；履行全球契约规定的反腐败原则，符合中央提出的全面加强新形势下领导干部作风建设的要求。

Leaders of the group and general manager of the company made systematic researches on performance of Global Compact in a comprehensive way. At the meeting, it was believed unanimously that performance of environmental-protection principles as specified in Global Compact complies with the Central Government’s requirements on performance of scientific development view and transformation of economic development method. Performance of human right and labor principles as specified in Global Compact represents the human-orientation principles and complies with the Central Government’s requirements on construction of socialism “harmonious society”.

会议确定了今后三 -五年全球契约和可持续发展的战略目标方向，并部署 2007年具体的措施。为此，设计了中远集团可持续发展管理体系总体实施框架，创造性提出组织推行、实施全球契约和可持续发展管理的十六个步法，为中远集团规范地建立和运行管理体系提供了程序化的科学方法。

Performance of anti-corruption principles as specified in Global Compact complies with the Central Government’s requirements on enhancement of working style construction of leaders in new situation. The meeting confirmed the strategic targets of Global Compact and sustainable development in the next three to five years and deployed the detailed measures in 2007.Therefore, COSCO Group designed the overall implementation framework for sustainable development management system and put forward 16 steps for promotion and implementation of Global Compact and sustainable development management innovatively, providing processed and scientific method for COSCO Group to establish and run management system in a standardized manner.

中远集团逐步建立起可持续发展管理体系的长效机制，全球契约向深度和广度延伸，步伐更快更扎实。中远（集团）总公司的可持续发展管理体系已经完成了指标化管理体系改造，成为中国第一家量化可持续发展管理体系。中远集团可持续发展管理体系与世界级跨国公司同步，充分显示中远集团在管理体系方法应用的领先地位。

COSCO Group has established a long-term mechanism for management of sustainable development to extend the Global Compact in a wider and in-depth manner steadily and quickly. Sustainable development system of COSCO Group headquarters has completed the index-based reorganization and became the first quantitative sustainable development management system in China. COSCO Group’s sustainable development system is in synchronization with that of world-class transnational companies. This fully shows COSCO Group’s leading position in application of management system and methods.

中远集团按照 ISO17799 信息安全管理体系 /ISO27001信息安全认证标准，开发并建立的中远集团可持续发展管理信息系统，为中国第一个运用现代科技技术在全球契约和可持续发展管理方面，规范了可持续发展信息收集和报告行为，保证了可持续发展报告可靠性，体现了中远集团是一个极其负责任的企业。

The COSCO Group sustainable development management information system developed and established by COSCO Group according to ISO17799 information safety management system and ISO27001 information safety certification standards is the first of such that adopts modern sciences and technologies in Global Compact and sustainable development management. It standardizes the information collection and reporting behaviors for sustainable development, ensures the reliability of sustainable development report and reflects that COSCO Group is a responsible enterprise.

同时，充分发挥信息化和网络作用来宣传全球契约，让每一个员工了解全球契约对我们企业生存发展的重要性，调动员工积极的参与贯彻落实全球契约的积极性，将信息化作为实现以人为本的工具，通过网络畅通各方面的沟通，职工参政议政，发挥每个员工的作用，

At meantime, COSCO Group has brought the functions of informationization and network in promotion of Global Compact. With these efforts, it wants all its employees to know the importance of Global Compact for development of the group, to mobilize the employees’ enthusiasm to act in and implement the Global Compact. COSCO Group takes informationization as a tool to realize the human-oriented development.

按照胡锦涛总书记在十七大报告提出的全体社会成员平等参与、平等发展的权利，体现尊重和保障人权，真正实现中远集团的可持续发展。

It smoothes the cooperation with all parties via Internet, allows employees participate in discussion of the group and brings the functions of each employee into full play. According the rights for equal participation and equal development of all members of the society as specified by President Hu Jintao in his report at the 17th National People’s Congress of CPC, COSCO Group has respected and ensure human rights and realize the sustainable development of the group in real sense.

The report, which is more perfect and internationalized report, aims at becoming a notable report of top-grade transnational companies. It contributes to the sustainable development career of China and the improvement of ocean shipping industry’s position in sustainable development of the world.

中远集团作为中国企业实施社会责任的代表，受到各国政府和社会各界的欢迎。中远班轮的挂靠使得波士顿港复活了，与中远历史性的伙伴关系将为美中贸易关系注入活力。中远的挂靠有利于马萨诸塞州，有利于国家，有利于与中国长期的合作关系，成就了中美两国互利双赢的一段佳话。

COSCO Group, as a representative for Chinese enterprises in performing of social responsibilities, has been well received by all circles of the society. COSCO Group’s calling at Boston Port recovers the port. The historical partnership with COSCO Group will inject new energies to Sino-U.S. trade relations.

Wei Jiafu, President of COSCO Group, received the “Economical Influence and Economical Promotion Award of State of Massachusetts” awarded by MAED.

更可称道的是“国际码头工人联合会” 在波士顿马萨诸塞州州府大楼为中远集团颁发了“创造就业机会奖”。在该州州府大楼为一家外国公司举办这样的活动在历史上还是首次，充分说明了中远集团此举的影响力。

Moreover, the International Longshoremen's Association awarded the Employment Creation Award to COSCO Group at the Governmental Building of the State of Massachusetts in Boston. It was the first time for the state to hold such event for a foreign company at the governmental building. This fully proves COSCO Group’s influences.

中远集团密切关注气候变化，中远一直积极响应、全力支持始于 2005年长滩港实施绿色港口环保计划以来，中远集团船舶自觉在距码头 20海哩的范围内将速度减到 12节，以减少港口污染，连续两年荣膺环保绿旗奖，成为对环保做出贡献的海运公司。

COSCO Group has attached great importance to changes of climates.

Vessels of COSCO Group reduce the speed to 12 knot at 20nm away to the port to reduce the port pollution. COSCO had won environmental protection green banners for two consecutive years, becoming the ocean shipping company that contributes to environmental protection of the world.

中远集团在世界各地的机构也纷纷采取行动，中远美洲公司积极响应中远集团关于企业也要承担社会责任，做全球企业公民的要求，采取了一系列的措施落实新泽西州政府的环保主张。中远美洲公司荣获新泽西州最佳工作场所金奖。

COSCO Group American Branch had won Best Working Place Golden Award of New Jersey.

各位领导和朋友，中远集团的发展和成长需要各位的关心，中远集团会及时公开向各相关方报告企业运行的情况，接受社会各相关方的监督。国资委李荣融主任在中央企业第一任期业绩考核表彰大会讲话中已经明确提出中央企业要“转变发展方式，进一步提高可持续发展能力。

Growth and development of COSCO Group need supports and participations of all related parties. COSCO Group will report the operation status to all related parties and accept the supervision of all related parties. Li Rongrong, Director of the SASAC, pointed out in his speech at the Stage I performance inspection awarding meeting that enterprises affiliated to the Central Government shall transform development method and improve the sustainable development ability. The priority of scientific development view is development. Core content of the scientific development view is people-orientation.
