“Master Kong has been founded for nearly 30 years with the mission of ‘promoting Chinese food culture’ and the philosophy of ‘operating sustainable business and giving back to society’. Besides, the company believes that solid corporate governance plays a vital role in advancing the company’s long-term development and shining its corporate value,” said Ms. TSENG Chien, executive director of Master Kong.

Master Kong believes “Sustainable Development is Good Development”, and sets “Keep Our Nature Green” as its sustainability strategy, and keeps on working hard to become “A Respected Enterprise”, Mr. Frank Wang, executive vice president of CEO Office of Tingyi Holding Corp., said at a roundtable discussion on “Green and Low-carbon Economy Transformation” during the 4th China International Import Expo, adding that Master Kong carried out a series of work on energy saving and carbon reduction by promoting green development in supply chain transformation, developing healthy and nutritious products, and educating young consumers with sustainable lifestyle.
