For solid practice, we need to make responsibility practice integrate into branding while fulfilling social responsibility, and actively communicate with stakeholders to build a sustainability brand. For targeted communication, in addition to introducing products and services, we can deliver the responsibility philosophy and value of brand, and accurately communicate with stakeholders.
