以下为演讲原文
尊敬的王忠禹会长、王基铭会长、各位女士、先生们：
各位北京的朋友们，上午好！预祝“CBCSD第十四届可持续发展新趋势报告会——新时代深化改革开放与企业可持续发展”圆满成功。我因行程冲突不能到场，非常抱歉。
当下，新的机遇与挑战不断涌现，工商企业践行可持续发展的方式也在不断变化。企业要可持续发展变得更为复杂，不再只是应对排放、企业声誉或工作机会，而是要同时处理好包括这些在内的方方面面。
过去，许多企业对可持续发展的认知是开展慈善事业和企业社会责任项目，然而一些前瞻企业已将可持续发展全面植根于战略决策。要确保企业成功，商业领袖不仅要考虑财务收益，更应考虑企业对社会及环境的影响。
当前，卓越而富有远见的商业领导力对企业的生存和发展至关重要。
围绕这一主题，提请各位企业家们关注一些重要的报告和工具。《更好的商业、更好的世界》报告指出，到2030年，可持续的商业将创造至少12万亿美元的市场机会，其中5万亿美元及3.8亿个就业机会都在亚洲。
此外，气候相关财务信息披露工作组(TCFD)在其主要建议中，明确提出可持续商业的全新路径。这些建议将最终彻底颠覆公司治理，并为资本市场注入更多透明度。
与此同时，我们要清醒的认识到，任何一家企业都无法单独应对这些挑战。因此合作变得愈加重要。不同类型的企业必须通力合作，才能实现可持续发展。
CBCSD就是这样在中国促进企业间合作的组织。CBCSD去年举办的会议和活动不仅为企业提供了良好的合作机会，并且搭建了企业与政府、其他核心利益相关方的合作平台。
CBCSD和WBCSD在一些重要项目上密切合作，例如，WBCSD报告交流平台项目（The Reporting Exchange）最近发布一系列基于中国的案例研究，旨在为了解中国企业可持续发展报告趋势提供思路。同期，CBCSD作为主要支持方，协助WBCSD完成了报告交流平台（The Reporting Exchange）网站的中文翻译工作。借助这些平台，WBCSD和CBCSD致力于更好地支持中国企业的可持续发展管理，助力中国政府提出的“绿色一带一路”倡议。
去年，CBCSD于2017中国企业500强峰会期间推出中国企业可持续发展指数研究项目，成为CBCSD又一个具有里程碑意义的项目。企业可持续发展指数不仅满足了中国企业转型、升级和深化可持续管理的需求，同时为利益相关方提供企业非财务数据，助力中国企业在国际上展示最佳实践。
非常期待CBCSD后续的成果产出，特别是近期即将上线的“全球经济治理与企业发展数据平台”。在WBCSD与CBCSD的共同努力下，我们必将合力带来更大的变化。我期待与在座各位携手，共同实现这个目标！
预祝今天的会议圆满成功。谢谢大家！
His Excellency Wang Zhongyu, President Wang Jiming, Ladies and Gentlemen.
Good morning to everyone in Beijing. I hope you’re enjoying an excellent day at CBCSD’s 14th Annual Conference, under the theme of Deepening Reform and Opening-up - Corporate Sustainability in the New Era. I am very sorry that my travel schedule does not allow me to be with you.
The way that business approaches sustainability is changing rapidly, as new opportunities and challenges emerge. The picture has become more complex - it's no longer just about emissions, reputation or jobs. Rather, it's about all these aspects at the same time.
Whereas previously companies engaged with sustainability through philanthropy and Corporate Social Responsibility programs, smart companies have now integrated sustainability deeply into their decision-making process. To run a successful company, business leaders must consider not just the financial return, but also their impact on society and the environment.
Strong and visionary CEO leadership is essential if business is to survive and thrive in this environment.
There are important tools available to help you with this. The Better Business, Better World report outlines how sustainable business opportunities could yield at least 12 trillion dollars in business value by 2030, including 5 trillion dollars in Asia, while generating up to 380 million jobs.
Similarly, the recommendations of the Taskforce on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) clearly define a new path forward for sustainable business. In time, these recommendations will completely overhaul corporate governance and create more transparency towards Capital Markets.
Alongside this, one thing is clear: these challenges cannot be solved by one company alone. On the contrary, collaboration is becoming increasingly important. Different companies must come together to achieve sustainability together.
CBCSD is leading this collaboration in China. The meetings it has held over the past year provide a unique collaborative space for business, and a platform from which to engage with government and other key stakeholders.
CBCSD and WBCSD have worked closely together on some important initiatives in this period. Recent examples include the release of a series of China-specific case studies designed to provide insights into sustainability reporting trends covered by WBCSD’s Reporting Exchange. This publication coincides with the completion of the Chinese translation of the Reporting Exchange website, with CBCSD as a main contributor. Using these platforms, WBCSD and CBCSD aim to better support Chinese companies’ sustainability management and the Chinese government’s Green Belt & Road initiative.
CBCSD reached another milestone in the past year with the launch of the China Enterprises Sustainability Index project during the 2017 China Top 500 Enterprises Summit. This project tackles Chinese companies’ need to transform, upgrade and deepen their sustainability management, while also providing stakeholders with companies’ non-financial information and helping Chinese business to communicate their best practices globally.
I look forward to further publications by CBCSD in the period ahead, in particular the launch of the Global Economic Governance and Business Data Service Platform. Together, we can rally for change in a much bigger way. I look forward to working with each of you to achieve this.
I wish you successful deliberations over the rest of your day. Thank you!
