Song Xin, member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference:Focusing on the major national development strategy, we should earnestly enhance the ability to develop enterprises

Beijing, March 4 (Xinhuanet) -- Green is the most distinctive background for China's development today, and high-quality development is the biggest card for China to cope with crises and challenges. Green, low-carbon and high-quality development have also become the hot spots of attention at the two sessions of the National People's Congress this year. As a central enterprise with energy conservation and emission reduction and environmental protection as its main business, how can China Energy Conservation and Environmental Protection Group Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "China Energy Conservation") achieve high-quality growth of enterprises with high-quality development requirements and release more positive energy of central enterprises in the process of green development?

Recently, Song Xin, member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, secretary of the Party Committee of China Energy Conservation, and chairman of the board of directors, said in an interview on the two sessions of the "Dialogue with New State-owned Enterprises and a Good New Era" jointly launched by Xinhua Net, the Saousel State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission News Center and the Central Enterprise Media Alliance that as a central enterprise, an important responsibility is to consciously closely integrate the direction of enterprise development with the implementation of major national strategies. In 2021, China Energy Conservation closely focused on the major national strategy for project layout, and signed more than 1,600 cooperation projects throughout the year, with a cooperation amount of 59.7 billion yuan, an increase of nearly 50% over the same period of the previous year. "The growth of the company is a result of our firm implementation of the national strategy."

Talk about high-quality development

-- Achieving high-quality development is a systematic project, and from goals and guiding ideology to action measures to specific measures, they should be interlinked.

If the enterprise is strong, the country is strong. Enterprises are the micro-subjects of the national economy, and the high-quality development of enterprises is directly related to the high-quality development of China's economy.

"High-quality, efficient and sustainable green development that meets the growing needs of the people for a better life is also an important goal and direction that high-quality development should adhere to." Song Xin said that in the process of promoting the goal of "carbon peaking and carbon neutrality", all the behaviors, projects and decisions made by enterprises must be closely linked to green transformation and low-carbon and safe development.

At the same time, closely focusing on the implementation of major national development strategies, such as pollution prevention and control battles, as well as scientific and technological innovation and innovation-driven strategies, enterprises should effectively enhance the vitality, motivation and sustainable development capabilities of development.

Aiming at the "new world" of the country's major development strategy, central enterprises should stand up as a "hard backbone". In recent years, CECEP has resolutely implemented the decision-making and deployment of the Party Central Committee, deeply participated in major national strategic tasks such as the protection of the Yangtze River, the coordinated development of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei, the construction of Xiong'an New Area, the integrated development of the Yangtze River Delta, the ecological protection and high-quality development of the Yellow River Basin, the construction of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, and the construction of the Hainan National Ecological Civilization Pilot Zone, and actively implemented the "Belt and Road" initiative. In May 2018, China Energy Conservation was identified by the Office of the Leading Group for Promoting the Development of the Yangtze River Economic Belt as the main platform enterprise for pollution control in the Yangtze River Economic Belt. "Often the implementation of major national strategies is a very good expansion period for central enterprises, including China's energy conservation."

Work hard and fight for the day. "If you want to achieve high-quality development, you must have your own core technology, have the ability to innovate, but also have a sound financial management, as well as a mechanism system for risk prevention and control, and pay close attention to brand building." Song Xin said that achieving high-quality development is a systematic project, from the goals, guiding ideology to action measures, and then to specific measures, should be interlinked, highlighting the important orientation of high-quality development, green and low-carbon.

Talk about the reform of state-owned enterprises

——Through the implementation of the three-year action plan for the reform of state-owned enterprises, the vitality of enterprises will be stronger and more efficient.

Reform has a bearing on the overall situation.

2022 is the final year of the three-year reform of state-owned enterprises. In the face of the impact of the epidemic of the century, the century-old changes have accelerated and evolved, and the external environment has become more complex and severe and uncertain. The more such times come, the more vigorous the state-owned enterprises will be toward reform.

"The Party Committee of China Energy Conservation attaches great importance to the three-year action of state-owned enterprise reform from the ideological point of view, and we have set up a special leading group and implementation office, and are now comprehensively examining what other three-year action plans have not been fully implemented." Song Xin revealed that the completion rate of Various Action Plans of China Energy Conservation in 2021 has reached 95%, and this year plans to further consolidate relevant key tasks on July 1, such as the contractualization of the tenure system, especially the tenure system contracting of managers, and further revision and improvement of the decision-making list of the board of directors, the party committee and the manager. "We have all improved at the institutional level, and now we require our subordinate second-level subsidiaries and even third-level companies to clarify the decision-making boundaries of these in accordance with the general idea, so that each decision-making body can play a better role."

In terms of personnel can be upgraded and market-oriented selection and employment, China Energy Conservation has further intensified its efforts. In 2021, the company implemented the "standing" of all department-level cadres, that is, the competitive recruitment system, in addition, a number of department deputies and second-level unit deputies will be selected. "This year we will also increase the withdrawal of some incompetent positions."

Song Xin hopes that through the reform of the three systems and the implementation of the three-year action plan, the vitality of enterprises can be stronger and more efficient.

Play a good game of chess and play the initiative battle. After the end of the three-year action of state-owned enterprise reform, Song Xin believes that enterprises should still make continuous efforts to improve efficiency, increase vitality, enhance their competitiveness, innovation ability, and anti-risk ability.

"Enterprise management is a gradual, continuous and continuous development process, innovation is not once and for all, it is necessary to continue to make efforts in technological innovation, business model innovation, management innovation, and at the same time to further refine and further implement various management measures."

Talk about rural revitalization

-- Building beautiful villages, including rural sewage treatment, toilet revolution, rural garbage disposal, etc., which is very clear and specific to China's energy-saving needs.

"Participating in rural revitalization is not only an important responsibility of central enterprises, but also an important way and a broad stage for central enterprises to grow hard and achieve high-quality development." When it comes to rural revitalization, Song Xin understands it this way.

Step by step, for a long time. Cephalus has helped Song County in Henan Province and Fuchuan Yao Autonomous County in Guangxi. Song Xin said that from the actual experience of the work, combined with the overall development direction of the "Fourteenth Five-Year Plan" country, on the one hand, on the basis of the two counties having been lifted out of poverty and become rich, these two counties can be helped to set up some industries that can be compatible with the local resource advantages and talent structure through industrial assistance.

On the other hand, if we want to get rich before helping the intellectual, the wisdom can get the local people out of poverty, which is one of the very important strategic measures to achieve rural revitalization. "We insist on education and talent assistance in these two places, through the introduction of knowledge, external brains, and at the same time introduce local technical personnel and management cadres to other places, targeted training."

Ceque-Energy will also provide consumption assistance according to local realities and demands. "With the help of China's energy-saving sales network and e-commerce sales platform, these two counties can help these two counties to sell some distinctive agricultural and sideline products or raw materials to the outside world, which can not only expand the sales channels of local products, increase the income of local people, but also give play to the advantages of the central enterprises with many personnel and a wide network."

The future can be expected. In Song Xin's view, the construction of beautiful villages, including rural sewage treatment, toilet revolution, rural garbage disposal, etc., has a clear and specific demand for energy conservation in China. "These are not only the needs of rural revitalization, but also the current shortcomings, and should be the direction of China's energy-saving technical equipment research." Song Xin said that how to combine these two aspects better, China Energy Conservation has also carried out a series of research and demonstration, and will further make efforts from many aspects.
