As a leader in the construction industry, CREC has always aspired to become a practitioner, propellant, and leader of Corporate Social Responsibility as its mission. Since 2008, it has established a scientific, standardized, systematic, and practical management system of corporate social responsibility and planned social responsibility from six aspects of benefits to society, scientific development, safety management, environmental protection, staff development, and public welfare undertaking. The company launched a series of management practices of corporate social responsibility from the company headquarters to the subsidiary in order to achieve the goal of full coverage, full compliance, the pursuit of perfection, and industry-leading social responsibility, making an irreplaceable and outstanding contribution to a sustainable society.
Environmental Protection
CREC has always regarded protecting the natural environment as a primary task of building a harmonious society. The harmony between man and nature is reflected in the construction process of each project. Before starting every project, we organized experts to carry out carefully and construct project environmental influence assessment, demonstrate the environmental protection programs entirely, and develop a detailed program of ecological protection. In construction processes, we imported environmental protection supervision, increased input of ecologic protection, perfected continuously green procurement system, used energy-saving equipment, improved craft process method, and studied and used new environmentally friendly materials and other issues to reduce the influence on water, air, vegetation, living creature and protect creature's diversity.
Take the Qinghai-Tibet railway as an example. We have taken extra precautions to protect the green land, animals, and water and have been exceptionally cautious when handling waste disposal, avoiding disrupting the fragile ecological environment on the Tibetan Plateau.
Regarding green land protection, we restricted the moving area of the cars and construction machines to reduce the damage to the green lands to a minimum. In addition, we have taken appropriate measures to enhance the recovery of green lands after the construction works.
Regarding the protection of animals, we have set up specific passages for the wild animals which move around the Tibetan Plateau. During the migration season of the Tibetan antelopes, we suspended the work tentatively to give way to those Tibetan antelopes.
Moreover, we have also taken extra caution when handling construction waste so as not to pollute the land and water of the Tibetan Plateau, minimizing the environmental impact.
To achieve sustainable development, we will continue to take into account environmental considerations in future development projects.
Public Welfare Activities
CREC has actively participated in various public welfare undertakings.
CREC has come out bodily, worked in the first line, and dared to challenge when facing a series of serious natural damages, actively take part in the rescue works; broadly participated in charity affairs, donated both money and materials to help the poor, actively fulfilled the responsibility of the central enterprise, and has been highly praised by both the government and public.
CREC insists on the working thought of civilized construction of enterprises and harmonious construction, broadly carried out preferential treatment for families of servicemen, supported the construction of police, and volunteered for nursing homes, hospitals, streets, communities, schools, and other local units. We fulfilled corporate social responsibility with practical actions, promoted social morality, and built a harmonious society.
CREC has always regarded fulfilling employment responsibility as a core corporate social responsibility content. CREC is devoted to creating a safe and desirable work environment for employees. The employees are regarded as partners of us instead of mere workers. Opportunities for training and development are also provided to allow the employees to unleash their full potential and obtain a sense of achievement.
