“As an old Chinese saying goes: ‘Frustrated, one pays attention to their own moral uplift without thought of others. In success, one tries to let others be benefited.’ The larger an enterprise is, the bigger ability is and the bigger responsibility is. Employee happiness and enterprise development are closely related to social responsibility. I have highlighted positive thinking, behaving ourselves and making family, enterprise and country better!” Chen Kaixuan, President of Liby Group, often says that “responsibility” is the core of corporate culture. It is that just because of excellent corporate culture that a national enterprise valued ten billion Yuan is built.
For more than two decades, Liby has grown with “responsibility”, pursuing happiness for employees, seeking development for partners, providing consumers with safer, healthier and more environment-friendly products and making bigger contributions to the society. “Responsibility” has deeply integrated into blood vessels of Liby. Liby has been devoting to assisting the impoverished students, caring for left-behind children and vulnerable groups and taking an active part in earthquake relief work and has undertaken responsibility by practical action.
“Responsibility” builds a nation
Leading daily chemical enterprise
Liby has already been established for 23 years until now. From nobody to a leading daily chemical enterprise, Chen Kaixuan thinks It is that just because of excellent corporate culture that a national enterprise valued ten billion Yuan is built
“Responsibility” is the core of corporate culture. Chen Kaixuan recalled: “For more than two decades, we have encountered many problems, difficulties and challenges, but we have never been passive and pessimistic or made excuses. Instead, we find solutions, change challenges into opportunities, grow bigger and stronger and become a pioneer of the cleaning product industry.”
“Whether an enterprise is successful or not depends on not only income scale but whether it has a sense of social responsibility.” Chen Kaixuan said, employees have a “small family”, their own family, a “big family”, enterprise, and a “country”. It seems as if the three are different, but they are a community of shared interests with common goals and dreams. Only when “small family” is happy, “big family” develops and “country” grows stronger. “We should strive for happiness of ‘small family’, promote continuous development of ‘big family’ so as to shoulder social responsibility, serve the country on the basis of industry, repay the society and make greater contributions to human and the society.”
