We uphold our values - “Create, Share and Love”, which has guided our efforts in fulfilling our corporate social responsibility and engaging in the public welfare delivery ever since we were founded. We established Cedar Foundation and proposed three-pronged guidelines - micro public welfare, direct charity, and preserve beneficiaries' dignity. We persist in public benefit activities including poverty alleviation and donations to schools.
At the moment, Cedar Foundation takes shaping sustainable and green future as its core priority, doubles down in targeted rural revitalization, social support, green supply chain, culture preservation, and education.
Looking forward, we will further grow our public service business based on Cedar Foundation. As a non-profit organization, Cedar Foundation will subject the social welfare projects under Cedar Holdings to specialized operation by applying commercial management and business operation onto public services. The foundation will take a business approach to drive the sustainable development of public welfare activity, maximizing the values of public welfare projects, the speed of social progress and the possibility of a better life.
