On February 6th, the company held its first Fourth Employee Representative Congress, 2024 Work Conference, and HSE Work Conference. The congress comprehensively reviewed the achievements of 2023, deployed key tasks for this year, and called on all cadres and employees to work hard to stabilize production, increase efficiency, strengthen management, pursue innovation, and promote development, resolutely following the path of high-quality development for Gulei Petrochemical.
At the meeting, Vice President Chen Guodong emphasized the need to benchmark against international best practices and continuously improve management. Taking the company's "integrated" management system certification as an opportunity, the company aims to create a management system standard that aligns with international standards, adapts to practical realities, and possesses Gulei Petrochemical characteristics, laying a solid foundation for the company's high-quality development. He stressed the importance of meticulous optimization, focusing on operational efficiency, selecting benchmarks for in-depth analysis, identifying profit leakage points, and pointing the way to improving profitability. He also emphasized the need for refined management through multiple measures, improving planning and execution, actively promoting operational optimization, reducing various variable costs, promoting new product development and marketing, and strengthening cost control and capital operation. We must deepen our sense of responsibility and collaboration, pool our efforts for development, and diligently study and deeply understand the profound connotations of our corporate culture. We must jointly adhere to it, practice it diligently, and truly internalize it, achieving unity of knowledge and action, so as to work together to realize Gulei Petrochemical's vision of "building a world-class petrochemical enterprise."
Zhao Tianxing delivered a concluding speech, outlining four requirements for implementing this year's work:
First, prevent risks and solidify the foundation, resolutely focusing on inherent safety and environmental management. We must maintain a clear mind, focus on practical problems, and promote the deep integration of the management system with existing regulations, core tasks, and job responsibilities; strengthen analysis and judgment, take targeted measures, and effectively improve equipment operational reliability; improve employee skills training, and promote standardized and regulated operations; strengthen the "three basics" work, emphasizing safety supervision of direct operational links, and fully guarantee the "major overhaul" of the two units this year.
Second, transform our mindset and promote transformation, actively exploring the path to high-quality development for the enterprise. We must act quickly, seize market opportunities promptly, and achieve rapid tracking, rapid feedback, rapid decision-making, and rapid adjustment. We must benchmark against best practices, continuously optimize operations, strengthen meticulous management, deepen the integration of business and finance, and thoroughly implement energy conservation, cost reduction, and efficiency improvement. We must cultivate our expertise, plan for transformation and development, pay attention to industry development, strengthen our strategic layout, and strive to become an industry leader. We must accurately identify customer needs, focus on customized product development and solving technical challenges, and enhance customer loyalty and market competitiveness.
Third, we must prevent risks and improve efficiency, continuously promoting management improvement. We must clarify key and high-risk businesses, further streamline and optimize existing systems and processes, and effectively improve management quality and efficiency. We must strengthen performance-driven approaches, optimizing and adjusting performance targets and weights around key indicators such as safe production and operational quality, and promoting the role of performance management in overcoming difficulties and increasing efficiency. We must strengthen the dissemination of corporate culture, actively select exemplary cases and individuals, promote best practices and apply results, and continuously stimulate the enthusiasm of all units to innovate management methods and improve management efficiency and effectiveness.
Fourth, we must strictly enforce rules and regulations to transform our work style and effectively gather a powerful force for undertaking initiatives and starting businesses. We must prioritize improving our work style, guiding all cadres and employees to maintain a strong sense of crisis, awareness of potential problems, and a drive to excel. We must adhere to the principles of "exercising power according to law, impartially, and with integrity," continuously promoting a clean and upright atmosphere, resolutely curbing unhealthy tendencies, and enhancing our work capabilities and skills. Leaders at all levels must set an example by acting promptly and decisively on tasks already decided upon; for ongoing tasks, we must work backwards from deadlines, using visual aids to track progress, and seizing every minute; for urgent, difficult, and dangerous tasks, we must bravely shoulder heavy responsibilities, take the lead, and act without conditions or compromises.
