A company with social responsibility is built to last
The outbreak of Covid-19 has presented companies with a challenge to transform operations and survive in this new climate. The main element considered in this year’s BMC selection is the balance between the production of economic value and the creation of social value. More attention is paid to companies’ capacity for systemization, balanced development and resilience.
According to Zhang Jian, the president of Joy Wing Mau, “we always take “social responsibility” into consideration whenever we draft our business strategy, build our organizational capacity, or balance our promise to society with our financial achievements. At critical times, the company should even prioritize social responsibility.”
Joy Wing Mau pays attention to social responsibility in three ways:
- At the most fundamental level, Joy Wing Mau values product safety, labor rights, value creation for customers, an environment in which workers are able to develop themselves, guaranteed maintenance of regular operations, and a reasonable profit for shareholders.

The company also encourages the Chinese fruit industry to maintain global connections. Finally, the company also advocates fairer, more transparent, low-cost trade, and encourages a commercial culture in the Chinese fruit industry.
- As for the public good, Joy Wing Mau helps Chinese farmers to alleviate poverty.
