In-depth exchanges were held on issues of common concern to the global and Chinese shipping industries, such as free trade, green decarbonization, and seafarers, resulting in broad consensus.


During the meeting at CSG, Chen Hongbing extended a warm welcome to the ICS delegation and provided an overview of the development of CSG and ISEA.
He specifically mentioned, "We are currently leading the development and compilation of the 'Group Standard for ESG Evaluation of International Shipping and Logistics Enterprises,' which will be officially released soon. This group standard will fill a gap in this field, guide ESG disclosure and compliance for international shipping and logistics enterprises, safeguard their legitimate rights and interests, and empower their sustainable development."
