How does 1mi1-platform support ESG

Horasis在越南平阳举办了2024年Horasis中国会议，本次会议由越南南部省份平阳省和中国工业经济联合会共同主办，会议汇集了700位Horasis愿景社区最高层的成员，包括中国和越南部分著名的商业领袖。

1Mi1一米一创始人兼CEO Bill Kung（龚万彬）先生于2024年4月15日在越南平阳举办的Horasis2024中国大会中，作为大会的联合主席，就“如何开展ESG以及可持续经济的建设“应邀发表讲话。

Bill Kung先生的发言详细内容如下：

各位Horasis中国论坛的朋友们，大家好，我的名字是龚万彬，是上海环翼一米一平台的创始人兼CEO，主要工作是协助企业开展基于数据和知识的科学可持续发展决策。大家如果不知道自己的产品如何满足欧美和世界各国市场的环境准入及披露要求，不清楚如何有效开展的组织及产品碳管理、绿色供应链以及利用数字化技术支持企业ESG，特别是如何有效地整合企业内外部资源建立企业可持续发展的生态优势，咱们可以聊一聊，一米一平台15年来一直做的就是通过整合政府、NGO、咨询和认证机构、标准以及数字AI技术等，共同帮助企业解决这些问题。

Greetings to all friends at the Horasis China Forum. My name is Gong Wanbin, the founder and CEO of Ecovane Platform. My main work is to assist enterprises in carrying out science-based sustainable development decisions based on data and knowledge. If you are unsure about how your products can meet the environmental access and disclosure requirements of the European, American, and global markets, or how to effectively carry out organizational and product carbon management, green supply chain, and use digital technology to support corporate ESG, particularly how to effectively integrate internal and external resources of the enterprise to establish the ecological advantage of sustainable development, we can have a chat. For the past 15 years, the Ecovane Platform has been integrating government, NGOs, consulting and certification institutions, standards, and digital AI technology to help enterprises solve these problems.

主持人：关于开展ESG和可持续发展，各方应该如何协作及制定怎样的战略，在这方面，贵司的平台有什么做法和建议？

Question:How should different stakeholders Collaborate and what Strategy should business take on ESG, do you have any suggestion on this

龚万彬：首先可持续发展这不是企业独善其身就能制定的战略，战略讲究的是解决问题，传统企业要解决的是客户的需求，痛点和难点，没有客户说他们需要低碳的绿色的产品、需要可以拯救亚马逊森林和北极冰川的服务，那么可持续战略对于大多数企业而言，可持续就是虚无缥缈的东西，如果CEO用务实的层面去跟企业谈，董事会和决策层跟你要资本回报率，要产出，那是拿不出来的，这个是很现实的问题。

那么不务实，讲大道理务虚，说人类和平，保护子孙后代的共同利益这些千秋万代无比正确的价值观世界观行不行？如果企业钱多的花不完，做慈善没有道理不行；但是绝大多数企业不是那么有钱，那就要解决虚实结合的问题——也就是让可持续的价值观能在业务层面产生源源不断的价值，这样，可以实现上下合一。

那问题就变成谁能支持实现可持续价值观和企业经营与效益的有机统一？答案是政府和各界政策、规则制定者，制定出有利于可持续发展的投资、市场、以及经营管理政策，例如现在欧盟推出了GREEN DEAL，中国政府也在逐步推出一系列的绿色产品和市场建设方案，有了这样的需求倒逼，这样企业就必须结合这个政策及市场需求制定出合理的可持续发展战略，而为了实现可持续产品和组织发展的目标，企业不仅仅需要实现企业内部的从价值到行动的统一，还需要接触外部的企业和伙伴的力量创建企业的价值生态，这样，或许就能建立起一个长治久安的可持续战略和有序发展的状态。

补充：会后，我想用四句诗总结，博雅贤文广，一米笃行知；气定风调雨，神闲花满枝。

“博雅贤文广”——就是政府领导下，通过各方努力建设可持续发展的舆论和政策、市场导向；

“一米笃行知”——是企业秉承知行合一的原则，千里之行始于每一米的足下，开展可持续经营与探索；

“气定风调雨”——是说企业在坚定可持续发展的定位后，根据市场和政策的需要审时度势，因势利导，创造企业可持续竞争优势和生态；

“神闲花满枝“——百花齐放，春光满园。

Bill:Firstly, sustainable development is not a strategy that a company can formulate on its own. Strategy is about solving problems. Traditional companies aim to solve the needs, pain points, and difficulties of customers. If no customers say they need low-carbon, green products, or services that can save the Amazon rainforest and Arctic glaciers, then for most companies, sustainability is a nebulous concept.

If a CEO discusses this from a pragmatic perspective with the company, the board of directors and decision-makers will demand a return on investment and output, which is not achievable for many cases. This is a very realistic problem.

So, what if we're not pragmatic and speak in generalities about peace, protecting the interests of future generations, and other universally correct values and worldviews? If a company has so much money that it can't spend it all, doing charity sounds ok. But most companies aren't that wealthy, so we have to solve the problem of combining reality with idealism — that is, making sustainable values continuously generate value at the business level. In this way, we can achieve unity of value and action from top to bottom.

So, the question becomes who can support the organic unity of sustainable values and business operations and benefits? The answer is the government and policy and rule-makers from all walks of life. They establish investment, market, and management policies conducive to sustainable development. For example, the European Union has launched the GREEN DEAL, and the Chinese government is gradually launching a series of green product and market construction plans. With such demand-driven policies, companies must formulate reasonable sustainable development strategies that align with these policies and market needs. To achieve the goals of sustainable products and organizational development, companies need not only to achieve internal unity from values to actions but also to leverage the power of external companies and partners to create a value ecosystem. In this way, perhaps we can establish a long-lasting sustainable strategy and orderly development state.

To summarize in four lines of poetry: "Bo Ya Xian Wen Guang, Yi Mi Du Xing Zhi; Qi Ding Feng Diao Yu, Shen Xian Hua Man Zhi."

"Bo Ya Xian Wen Guang" — under the leadership of the government, efforts are made to build a sustainable development discourse and policy, market orientation; "Yi Mi Du Xing Zhi" — companies adhere to the principle of unity of knowledge and action, every journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, to carry out sustainable operations and exploration; "Qi Ding Feng Diao Yu" — after the company has firmly established its position in sustainable development, it needs to judge the situation according to the needs of the market and policies, take advantage of the situation, and create a sustainable competitive advantage and ecosystem for the company; The last line, "Shen Xian Hua Man Zhi," signifies a garden full of flowers in full bloom, a world at peace.

主持人：开展ESG工作，企业可以采用什么框架，重点关注什么指标？

Question:What Framework should business adopt for ESG and any important Indicators?

龚万彬：这个框架我继续用道法术器四个字，来建议企业

道：政策、愿景、目标、承诺——这个是务虚的部分

法：程序、规则——在内建立能源管理体系、环境管理体系，碳管理体系，以及产品可持续生态设计和供应链管理程序等，执行PDCA；对外要关心欧盟、美国、中国等政策市场要求；

术：技术、标准——组织层面ISO 14001， 50001， 18001，SA8000，产品层面：14040/4，14067，PCR建设；等等

器：平台、指标——充分利用诸如一米一这样的平台工具，开展产品和组织、供应链的生态足迹评估及管理；

在指标设计以及披露沟通方面，要分析和结合企业及所在行业的可持续领域的实质性影响和重要性，另外更关键的是要看价值链上下游的影响，争取在自身降低环境影响的同时，对上下游有积极的贡献，这有助于建设可持续的生态优势——例如材料行业在循环性、在功能技术领域的突破上的努力能帮助下游汽车、电子、建筑、机电等不同行业降低原料消耗、降低重量等，实现碳排放和资源影响的提升。

最后在沟通方面，建议大家通过满足ISO 14025这样的环境产品披露标准的方式进行沟通，也就是EPD，这样尽可能的做到可信和客观。

补充：会后感受—《礼记》里面有句话“学也者，所以修身、齐家、治国、平天下者也。”可持续发展不是一个自然而然的经济决定，需要有意识的引领和建设，在这方面，一米一期待与大家共同努力。

Bill: For this framework, I may continue to use the four words "Dao, Fa, Shu, Qi" to suggest to companies:

Dao is Policy, Vision, Goals, Commitments — the abstract part but important and necessary for business to embrace ESG. 

Fa is Procedures and Rules — companies internally can establish energy management systems, environmental management systems, carbon management systems, as well as sustainable product ecological design and supply chain management procedures, etc., execute PDCA; externally, pay attention to the policy market requirements of the EU, the US, China, etc.

Shu is Technology, Standards — such as organizational level standards of ISO 14001, 50001, 18001, SA8000, and product level: 14040/4, 14067, PCR construction etc. 

Qi: Platform, Indicators — make full use of platform tools like "Ecovane", to carry out ecological footprint assessment and management of products, organizations, and supply chains;

In terms of indicator design and disclosure communication, it is necessary to analyze and combine the substantial impacts and importance of the sustainability field of the enterprise and its industry. More importantly, it is necessary to look at the impacts on the upstream and downstream of the value chain, striving to make positive contributions to the upstream and downstream while reducing its own environmental impact. This helps to build a sustainable ecological advantage — for example, the efforts of the materials industry in circularity, and breakthroughs in functional technology can help downstream industries such as automotive, electronics, construction, electromechanical, etc., to reduce raw material consumption, reduce weight, etc., thereby achieving an increase in carbon emissions and resource impact.

Finally, in terms of communication, I suggest everyone communicate through meeting standards, such as ISO 14025 for environmental product disclosure, that is, EPD, to be as credible and objective as possible. For organizational level, other similar standard and procedure can be followed. 

Epilogue:There is a saying in the "Book of Rites," "Learning is the means to cultivate oneself, order one's family, govern the state, and bring peace to the world."
