On June 6, the 13th International Forum on Corporate Social Responsibility of Chinese Enterprises was held in Beijing. At the forum, Qizheng Tibetan Medicine, in collaboration with WTO Economic Digest, launched a new initiative called the “Golden Bee Global CSR2030 Initiative,” which focuses on the development of Tibetan medicine and the protection of biodiversity on the plateau. This initiative aims to promote sustainable development in the fields of medicine, culture, economy, species conservation, and environmental protection, making Qizheng Tibetan Medicine the first Chinese enterprise to respond to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal of “Life on Land.”
Under the overarching trend of a new round of industrial revolution, the global economy, society, and environment are embarking on a new journey toward sustainable development. The United Nations’ 2030 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which officially came into effect in 2016, have become the “new consensus” rallying global efforts for future development. The “Golden Bee Global CSR2030 Initiative,” officially launched in 2017, is China’s first initiative to respond to the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals.
The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is one of China’s regions with the richest biodiversity. Tibetan medicinal herbs sourced from this plateau boast remarkable therapeutic effects and have played a vital role in safeguarding public health for thousands of years. However, along with the rapid development of the Tibetan medicine industry, there has emerged a trend of exploitative harvesting of certain Tibetan medicinal resources, leading to a gradual depletion of some medicinal resources and even placing them at risk of extinction. This, in turn, poses serious challenges to the sustainable development of the Tibetan medicine industry.
Qizheng Tibetan Medicine has launched an initiative to focus on the biodiversity of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and build a business ecosystem that prioritizes long-term benefits. From procurement and R&D to production, we will make effective, rational, and sustainable use of Tibetan medicinal resources.
To achieve the goals of the initiative, Qizheng Tibetan Medicine has also outlined a clear action plan, which includes conducting a comprehensive survey of Tibetan medicinal plant resources, promoting the establishment of a Tibetan medicinal plant germplasm resource bank, carrying out research on alternative sources for Tibetan medicinal materials, conducting studies on Tibetan medicinal plant cultivation techniques in their native habitats, implementing sustainable harvesting practices for Tibetan medicinal plants in their places of origin, establishing wild-cultivation bases in high-altitude and cold regions where these plants are native, facilitating the transition from wild to cultivated Tibetan medicinal plants in their places of origin, and actively engaging in the inheritance and protection of Tibetan medical culture—these constitute eight key initiatives.
