Zhou Yiting said, Fosun Pharma’s artesunate series products are used in curing patients with serious malaria in the world and gets constant investment.

Yin Gefei, Vice President of “China WTO Tribune”, said that investment for sustainable development should be considered from two aspects: first, whether taking social responsibilities has economic feasibility or not; second, whether investment has social sustainability or not. The enterprise must balance its investment and return in economy, environment and society to unify economic return and social value created by it.

Guo Peiyuan, General Manager of SynTao, said that the core of evaluating sustainable return on investment (S-ROI) lies in monetizing the effect of sustainable development so as to quantitatively show the project’s investment, activity, output and fruits. Based on the company’s standpoint and social benefit, it can provide a consideration basis to decision making.

Cheng Duosheng said, staff of CSR will profit in two aspects at least from this forum: first, content of annual social responsibility report can be further enriched, including release of events and effects; second, evaluation of return of investment in sustainable development is a more convincing reason for CSR manager to convince the management in budget.

Yu Jiantuo indicated that evaluation should be treated sincerely and carefully and responsibilities should be understood by both the project’s beneficiary and the public. Through evaluation, the value of social responsibility is shown in the form of number, thus enabling the public to supervise it and promoting the publicity of benevolence.
