All these efforts help builds its core competitiveness. Focusing on the company’s development strategies and key tasks in 2021, Zhang Ping put forward three work requirements. The first is to remain devoted to the core business in this world where you either forge ahead or fall behind. We must come to the dawning realization that a new era of energy is unfolding and we must fully tap this period of opportunity to act on the goals of emission peak and carbon neutrality and foster leap-forward development of the company. Specifically, we should simultaneously promote grid-connection and reserve to hit the annual target; we should make choices as what to pursue and what to abandon to achieve high-quality development; we should steadily push forward overseas business and keep risks under control; we should pool regional recourses at the headquarters to coordinate operations; we should expand financing channels as tools to facilitate the implementation of projects; and we should optimize the internal governance system to aim for efficient management. The second is to create value through innovative development. We must come to profound understanding that the trend of digitalization and intelligence of energy will inevitably emerge. Therefore, we must speed up business transformation and innovative planning, forge a new business model, improve market valuation and reward shareholders. Specifically, we should plan ahead in view of the development trend of technologies; we should transform the existing business model to deliver value; we should invest in key regions and sectors and devote efforts to developing comprehensive energy; we should study the building of a flexible organizational structure to achieve organizational empowerment; we should take an innovative approach to study the company’s capital structure and increase the valuation. The third is to prioritize culture and take a people-oriented approach. We must realize that human capital is the primary resources boosting the company’s future development. Therefore, we must foster corporate culture, explore party building with unique features, build a team made of top talents and realize the sustainable and sound development. Specifically, we should renew concepts and work style, promote the fusion of “party building and business” and improve the leadership and management skills of executives; we should build a team of professional and motivated managers; we should keep clean, honest and self-disciplined by holding the bottom line and abiding by the rules; we should create a simple and efficient management atmosphere so as to reduce communication costs; we should strengthen professional skill training to empower the employees; and we should speed up fostering corporate culture and build consensus.
