Leading Chinese fruit company Joy Wing Mau Corporation has made a new list of the Best Managed Chinese Companies 2020 published by the Harvard Business Review in July 2020.
The Best Managed Companies (BMC) is a global project of Deloitte which identifies and highlights companies with exceptionally innovative management concepts and the highest standards of business performance.
Joy Wing Mau achieved a standout result among numerous global companies with well-earned reputations for the highest standards of business management. Joy Wing Mau is the first Chinese fruit company to obtain this honour as one of China’s BMCs.
Social responsibility at the core
The outbreak of Covid-19 has presented companies with a challenge to transform their 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 systemisation, balanced development and resilience.
Zhang Jian, president of Joy Wing Mau, said: “We always take social responsibility into consideration whenever we draft our business strategy, build our organisational capacity, or balance our promise to society with our financial achievements. At critical times, a company should even prioritise social responsibility.”
Joy Wing Mau focuses on social responsibility in three ways. At the most fundamental level, Joy Wing Mau values product safety, labour 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.
Within the industry, Joy Wing Mau works hard to disseminate the industry’s value and sense into wider society. The company continues to build the fruit industry's influence on Chinese society and promotes a sense of worth and respect among all industry employees.
Joy Wing Mau actively invests resources in the introduction, research and development of new fruit varieties and innovative plantation technologies. 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.
