Chairman's Statement

We are excited but trembling at this point welcoming the arrival of the 30th anniversary of the Group’s founding, which has induced us to keep thinking on how to take up our responsibility and commitment to the society and environment, ensuring we are walking together with the society through future storms and stress. It is also our direction for the next 10 years, 20 years and even longer-term futures to drive the Company to reach its goals of sustainability development by working together with both upstream and downstream partners. We believe that focusing on the Company’s long-term development, exploring its sustainability development potentials and reducing the risks brought by climate changes and other social and governance risks are the best ways to create the greatest value for all the stakeholders of the Company.

The Chairman and CEO

Principle and Concept
The vision of ANTA Sports is to become a respectable world class multi-brand sportswear group. In order to achieve this goal, we must continue on enhancing the Group’s sustainable development. Favourable operating model, combined with the environmental, social and governance policies, has effectively reduced our operational risks, so that the Group continues to improve on its path of development and increase the corporate value in the long run.
Global climate change and the world’s political and economic situation are closely related, in which the risks should not be ignored. Corporations around the globe should prepare for the potential climate-related risks and ensure that they can be flexible in crisis. As long as we can find opportunities despite hardship, we can enjoy the success of sustainable development.
Our Sustainability website focuses on the environmental, social and governance performance of the Group’s major operating units in China. We cite data and information from our published ESG reports, archived documents, records, statistics and research.
As a leading multi-brand sportswear group in China, we are committed to contribute our effort to sustainable development of the world. We value all stakeholders, climate change and the problems that come along. We also strive to innovate and change, to incorporate actions into business operation and continue to work towards the 17 SDGs. We believe that the current involvement and contribution are not only helpful for paving the way for future development, but also build a better future for stakeholders.
