4 Healthy China 2030

5 Healthy China 2030 Achieving Healthy China Create and Share Together Over the years, China has been continually raising the living standards of the people, but new challenges, such as the aging population and environmental pollution, have also emerged. The Healthy China 2030 blueprint is a general guidelines for promoting people's health in the upcoming 15 years. The emergence of the healthcare industry is a response to the pursuit of a better life for all human kinds and we believe its development is bound to gather strengths of retailing, logistics, IT, education and other industries, and could also explore a new path to development for these industries. To promote the development of healthcare industry and to improve the public healthcare level entail both the guidance of well-established theories and the support from the relevant industries. The summit will invite experts to share practical experience and discuss over the development tendencies of the Big Health" industry.

6 Technology for Good

7 Technology for Good The Win-Win Solutions - New Technology and application for the business and the society Ant Forest, a carbon trading community of 200 million people, is said to boom the carbon trading market and green finance. JD employs the blockchain to enhance the distribution rate and resolve the public transparency problem in pro bono projects. DJI s mapping drone technology is applied to rescue operation and post-disaster reconstruction. Tencent 99 Charity Day leverages public participation via its platform. The application of new technology in socio-environmental fields has created new business opportunities for companies. Moreover, the development of information technology allows public to access information and interact in transformations better. The summit will invite top executives from innovative companies to share how science and technology promote the win-win solutions for the economy, society and environment.

8 Sustainable Cities

9 Sustainable Cities New Trends in Sustainable Cities - environment protection residence and smooth traffic Cities play an important role in commerce, culture, science, productivity, social development and even progressing improvements in both social and economic domains. During the process of the urban development, there are still many including traffic congestion, urban security, shortage of housing resources, pressure on infrastructure and community service, etc. Enterprise is the key contributor to address urban challenges and construct sustainable cities. Driven by sharing economy and PPP model, there are stronger internal and external stimulus for enterprises to take initiatives in urban development and provide responsible practices to achieve the sustainable goals. Smart cities, sustainable transportation, community building, real estate, automobile and financial industry demonstrate higher vibrancy in promoting sustainable development. The representatives will be invited to share their future urban development solutions together.

10 New Retail & New Fashion

11 New Retail & New Fashion New Living Styles - public engage in sustainable consumption The changing retailing constantly redefine upstream production from not only offline to online but B2C to C2B. While offline retailing increases carbon footprint, online retailing is criticised for over-packaging. Since the nature of retailing industry is consumer-driven, the new retail and new fashion should take socio-environmental effects into consideration once consumer prefer product to be greener and more sustainable. To meet consumer preferences for sustainability, retail enterprises should combine the force of manufacturers, suppliers and consumers to make greater influences on the product life cycle and define their key roles in sustainable consumption. Practices such as PET recovery plan, degradable zero-waste packaging, e-commerce pro bono and materials upgrading have been explored by retailing platforms and retailers. The summit will invite the most representative retailers and fashion enterprises to share their practices and ideas on sustainable consumption.
