It will promote the rejuvenation and globalization of its management cadre and build a high-quality talent ecosystem tailored to individual strengths. Starting in 2026, Geely Holding will initially invest 50 million yuan, with plans to invest a total of 300 million yuan subsequently, to launch a Youth Innovation and Entrepreneurship Incentive Plan. Geely Holding's subsidiaries will, based on their specific business needs, directly recruit high school graduates with specific talents for定向 cultivation within the company. It will actively explore new talent cultivation models combining "Three Campus Types" in the AI era, seeking more proactive, effective, and practical innovative paths for human resource development and management.
ESG has become a "passport" for global expansion and a "new engine" for corporate global competitiveness. Geely Holding will continuously strengthen its sustainable development governance system, supported by green and energy-saving technologies and products, and guided by稳健 and compliant development, aiming to earn respect for Chinese enterprises in the globalization process.
