In November 2024, Shanghai Shufeng Logistics Technology Group Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Shufeng Group") was interviewed by official media to share its practical experience in social responsibility and safety production standardization. This interview focuses on the SMETA 6.1 social responsibility system and the Level 2 enterprise certification of safety production standardization obtained by Shufeng Group, aiming to observe how private enterprises practice "safety first" and assume social responsibility from different perspectives.
In the interview, Guo Bin, executive vice president of Shufeng Group, and representatives of third-party review agencies elaborated on how these certifications can help the company integrate into the global supply chain. Under the trend of "buying the world, selling the world", China‘s consumer market is changing rapidly, and more and more consumers tend to choose high-standard and high-quality foreign brands in the food and beverage field. With the deep cultivation of the top 500 foreign-funded FMCG companies in the domestic market, the localization trend of supply chain services is becoming more and more obvious. How to ensure that private enterprise suppliers can meet international standards in all aspects of product production, packaging, warehousing and logistics has become an urgent problem to be solved.
It is reported that less than 1% of China‘s private enterprises have obtained SMETA 6.1 social responsibility system certification. As a global Sedex member ethical trade auditor, the auditor of Bureau Veritas said in an interview that participating companies must fully follow the guidelines based on international labor organization conventions, and that companies that can pass the audit should respect the legitimate rights and interests of employees, especially in the four pillars of labor relations, working hours management, health and safety, environmental protection and business ethics. In addition, participating companies need to respond to national policies and contribute to the steady development of the local economy and the improvement of employees‘ living standards. The results of the assessment by Shufeng Group fully meet these requirements.
The members of the re-evaluation and review of the second-level enterprise of safety production standardization also spoke highly of Shufeng Group. He said that in the review process, Shufeng Logistics Company has always put safety production in the first place, whether it is hardware facilities, software management, or employees‘ safety awareness and operation skills, all fully embody the principle of "safety first", fully meet the requirements of the evaluation standards, and set an example for similar enterprises.
Vice President Guo Bin pointed out that Shufeng Group adheres to the concept of "serving with heart and improving details", and has established good cooperative relations with Fortune 500 companies over the years. We firmly believe that a sound management system is the cornerstone of enterprise development, and safety production is the top priority. With the joint efforts of all employees, the company has been awarded the review and certification of Shanghai Safety Production Association, become a second-level enterprise of national safety production standardization, and won the SMETA6.1 social responsibility system certification of Bureau Veritas, the world‘s authoritative certification body. These two qualifications not only reflect the society‘s recognition of the company‘s service standards and quality, but also prove our efforts in the pursuit of social and economic benefits.
Looking forward to the future, Shufeng Group will continue to steadily implement social responsibility and production safety related standards, strengthen the cultivation of quality management talents, and comprehensively build an integrated safety management and control system from R&D, production to logistics supply chain around the core needs of domestic and foreign customers, so as to help the industry transform and upgrade, serve customers and give back to the society.
