Zhou Yuxian Delivers a Speech

In his speech, Zhou Yuxian noted that since the beginning of this year, all levels of the Group have actively responded to the severe and complex external environment, taken proactive actions and forged ahead, and demonstrated strong resilience in the first year of the 15th Five-Year Plan. First, operational quality and efficiency improved steadily. Proactively responding to the K-shaped divergence trend of the economy, the Group continuously optimized its industrial structure, profit structure, and market structure, and further consolidated its value-creation capability. Second, the “four integrations” — of innovation and investment, transformation and upgrading, domestic and international markets, and Party building and business operations — were continuously deepened. With new actions and a new atmosphere, new quality productive forces accelerated their emergence and high-quality development advanced comprehensively.

The speech conducted an in-depth analysis of the international, domestic, and industry situations and examined the opportunities and challenges facing the Group, emphasizing the need to strengthen confidence and take practical actions to fully accomplish the annual tasks. First, strengthen strategic leadership. Carefully formulate and implement the 15th Five-Year Plan strategy, strengthen strategic cascading, implementation, and closed-loop oversight, accelerate the building of a world-class materials industry investment group with global competitiveness, and become a globally leading provider of non-metallic materials system solutions. Second, accelerate value creation. Firmly grasp the “first principles” of value creation, and coordinate the cultivation and development of emerging industries, the transformation and upgrading of traditional industries, and the digital-intelligent empowerment and green efficiency enhancement across the entire industry. Third, strengthen innovation-driven development. Strengthen leading thinking, systematic thinking, and engineering thinking, increase high-quality innovation supply, and accelerate the integration of scientific and technological innovation with industrial innovation. Fourth, deepen reform actions. Highlight strategic mission and value creation, advance a new round of state-owned assets and SOE reform in depth, coordinate institutional reform, process re-engineering, organizational strengthening, and personnel optimization, and continuously deepen the reform of the state-owned capital investment company. Fifth, consolidate the foundation of Party building. Deeply study and implement Xi Jinping Thought on Party Building, adhere to political building as the overarching principle, strengthen grassroots Party building, build a strong organizational system, and lay a solid talent foundation, while advancing full and rigorous Party self-governance in depth. In conjunction with the education campaign on fostering and applying a correct view of political performance, the Group encourages its cadres and employees to firm up the will to “fight,” temper the drive to “break through,” and foster an atmosphere of “getting things done,” so as to make greater contributions to accelerating the building of a world-class materials industry investment group.

Chang Zhangli Delivers the Half-Year Work Report

The report systematically summarized the achievements under the theme of “four focuses.” In the first half of the year, enterprises at all levels of the Group united their efforts and strove to be the first. They focused on improving quality and efficiency, vigorously driving effectiveness in production and operations, enhancing efficiency through stronger internal management, and boosting value through asset revitalization; focused on transformation and upgrading, accelerating the industry toward new and superior directions; focused on reform and innovation, continuously enhancing system effectiveness and development vitality; and focused on Party building leadership, fully demonstrating the political advantages of central SOEs. High-quality development continuously achieved new progress and results, laying a solid foundation for a good start to the 15th Five-Year Plan.

The report emphasized that the next-step work should grasp the “five coordinations” of stabilizing the present and benefiting the long-term, the whole and the parts, domestic and international, addressing symptoms and root causes, and development and security, and focus on the goals and priorities to do well in five aspects. First, make every effort to stabilize operations and improve quality and efficiency. Strengthen goal orientation, deepen the “three refinements” management (lean operations, streamlined organization, and refined management), comprehensively enhance value-creation capability, and ensure the completion of the full-year operational tasks. Second, take multiple measures to optimize layout and adjust structure. Based on the advantages of the investment company, promote high-quality international operations, comprehensively advance green and low-carbon transformation, accelerate digital transformation empowerment, and accelerate the building of a modern industrial system. Third, focus on integration to strengthen innovation and grasp reform. Accelerate the building of new quality productive forces and effectively stimulate reform effectiveness. Fourth, address both symptoms and root causes to prevent risks and hold the bottom line. Strictly control debt risk, overseas operation risk, and investment risk, improve the comprehensive compliance and oversight mechanism, and strengthen safety production and quality management. Fifth, consistently strengthen Party building and consolidate the foundation. Grasp the Party’s political building, continuously promote the education on fostering and applying a correct view of political performance to go deeper and more substantive, comprehensively improve the quality of Party building work, strengthen the cadre and talent team building, and advance full and rigorous Party self-governance in depth.
