The German Chamber of Commerce in China and the Missions of the Federal Republic of Germany in the People’s Republic of China are again hosting the More than a Market Awards in 2023. The More than a Market initiative was launched in 2015. Its aim was to showcase the best corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives by German enterprises in China and their added value for the Chinese society. From 2015 to 2021, with support from members and partners, the More than a Market Awards (“Awards”) were successfully organized six times, with over 400 best practice cases submitted.
In 2023, the More Than A Market Awards return to celebrate the progress and achievements of German companies in China with an expanded focus, namely in the field of environmental, social, and corporate governance (ESG). The Awards aim to not only provide a platform for enterprises, but also to help them (especially for SMEs) to better understand ESG, where they stand, and what more they can do to promote and implement ESG actions.
By participating in the Awards:
Increase company visibility by showcasing your best ESG initiatives and demonstrating your added value to the Sino-German community.
Submitting your projects can help your business gain recognition and establish yourself as a responsible leader in your respective industries.
