The launching ceremony marks the official start of the construction of the ‘Beautiful Factory’ in Xiaoshan District. The reason that High Fashion Business Park was chosen as the location for the ceremony was because they speak highly of the beauty of the unique ecological  characteristics of High Fashion Business Park, which serves as a model for many companies to build ‘beautiful factories’.

What exactly is a ‘beautiful factory’? What interpretation did the Xiaoshan District Federation of Trade Unions give to this initiative? Let’s get to know it together.

The establishment of ‘Beautiful Factory’ focuses on four elements, which are the beautiful environment of the factory, the beautiful environment of the work site, the beauty of corporate culture and the green development. They can be realized by implementing four actions: environmental sanitation in the factory area, garbage sorting activities, improvement of staff quality, and establishment of long-term rules and regulations. These actions lead to six key tasks, which are to improve the environment, improve infrastructure, deepen waste classification, standardize board and lodging management, strengthen environmental protection, and enhance staff education, so as to achieve the goal of ‘cleaning, greenifyng, beautifying, and lightening’.

Ms. Zheng Lu, General Manager of High Fashion (China) delivered a speech on behalf of pilot enterprises.

As the representative of the pilot enterprises of ‘Beautiful Factory’, Ms. Zheng Lu gave an introduction of High Fashion’s efforts in the initiative to optimize the construction of the ecological business park, and stated that High Fashion would continue to further enhance the sense of responsibility and urgency of the company to become an enterprise with excellent environment and strong capabilities.
