Live up to the expectations of the times Live up to the love from the bottom of my heart
Dear colleagues, hello everyone!
Another 99 Charity Days a year. Seven years ago, we adhered to the original intention of “making every small good deed more powerful”, integrated the power of the Internet into public welfare, promoted more efficient, transparent and fair public welfare, and took a small step to participate in solving social problems with the power of science and technology. .
Over the past seven years, with the participation and support of tens of thousands of charity organizations, thousands of companies, and hundreds of millions of netizens, 99 Charity Day has become the most influential and influential charity day in China, and its influence has even radiated overseas audiences. Become a bridge for cross-cultural communication. Among them, a large number of high-quality projects in the fields of education aid, rural revitalization, and disease relief have emerged, becoming a small experimental field for us to unite all sectors of society to help disadvantaged groups and improve social equity. The Tencent public welfare platform that is backed by it has become an important platform for us to practice “Technology for Good” and fulfill our social responsibilities.
At present, our country has historically solved the problem of absolute poverty, and common prosperity is becoming the proposition of the new era. We look back at the future, and fortunately, 99 Charity Day was born at the right time, helping us to accumulate the ability to “do good things well” bit by bit, and to gather a group of like-minded charity partners.
99 Charity Day is a carnival of charity, and it is also an annual highlight of charity. Every day of charity people does not have the aura of festivals, only silently assisting charity’s dedication and persistence. After several years of hard work and bend to the front line, we plunged into the co-construction and co-creation of public welfare projects. Not only the ability to feed back the society has been tempered and improved, but also we have a deeper understanding of the relationship between enterprises and society. We are more and more aware that if there is no reasonable ratio between the development of an enterprise and its contribution to society, it will lose its motivation and source of continued development.
The big river has water and the small river is full, but the big river has no water and the small river is dry. The development of an enterprise resonates with the times at the same frequency and is connected with the destiny of the country. We are well aware that Tencent is a participant and builder of reform and opening up, and it is the lucky one of this era. To be rich and to think about the source, to be rich and to advance, and to be rich and to be rewarded, always stand with social concerns and people’s expectations, and help solve the problems of common concern to society. This is the best way to be grateful for this era.
Starting from public welfare, but not stopping at public welfare, is our long-term commitment to social responsibility, and it is also the foundation for Tencent’s sustainable development. Since the beginning of this year, the company has continued to explore in enhancing social well-being and helping common prosperity. After investing 50 billion yuan in April to launch the “sustainable social value innovation” strategy,On August 18, we added another 50 billion yuan of funds to launch the “Special Project for Common Wealth”. We hope to deeply integrate our digital and technological capabilities to provide assistance in more areas of people’s livelihood. This year’s 99 Charity Day has begun to land.
In this context, this year’s 99 Charity Days also ushered in a comprehensive upgrade, not only expanding from 3 days to 10 days, but also optimizing and upgrading in multiple dimensions such as matching donation mechanism, product system, corporate linkage, and public welfare infrastructure. The amount was increased to 1 billion yuan, and support for public welfare projects in the direction of social value issues was strengthened. On September 5th, China Charity Day and 99 Charity Days also added a “Common Wealth” theme day. Tencent Foundation donated a total of 160 million yuan to help post-disaster reconstruction, rural revitalization, vulnerable people and other related projects, focusing on covering the central and western regions, Many underdeveloped areas such as mountainous and rural areas.
This year, we have experienced a lot together. We have witnessed the accomplishment of the historical mission of poverty alleviation, felt the unity of the people in the fight against the epidemic, and wished the astronauts to run to the stars and seas of the universe, and we hope to do every small and meaningful good thing with our power.
Just like this year’s 99 Charity Day, the company’s full-scale participation in the entire business, focusing on common wealth, minor protection, education aid, life assistance, silver hair technology, carbon neutrality and other public welfare issues launched theme day activities; internal “Xiaohong “Fa Employee Charity Week” is also a brand new upgrade. About 100,000 goose factory workers gather automatically to help charity projects in various ways and show their love. As part of the company’s “Common Wealth Special Plan”, the company and its employees gave out 10,000 “Hometown One Heart Bags” to send warmth and hope to families in difficulties in their hometowns. Many employees of the goose factory who came out of the countryside volunteered to form a “village work team on the cloud” to contribute to the revitalization of their hometown. We saw everyone’s common love for their home and country and their enthusiastic responses to the propositions of the times.
Taking from the society and giving back to the society has always been Tencent’s value philosophy. “Being a good person and doing good deeds” is the self-requirement of every Goose Factory employee. Whether it is our spontaneous volunteer culture or the company’s early practice of getting involved in public welfare as soon as it has made a profit, it is sufficient to prove that Tencent has the self-driving force for the good, the excellent gene to help the weak and the poor, and it is proactive and spontaneous in the long-term. In the practice of public welfare, the “sustainable social value innovation” strategy has been integrated into the company’s organizational and action capabilities, and finally aggregated into an era answer sheet of “science and technology for good”.
Thank you colleagues for staying true to your original aspiration and self-driven together with us, and jointly turning the trickle of love into a river of public welfare, and also strengthening the foundation of Tencent’s creation of social value. Thank you for your sincerity and bravery. Let us continue to do good deeds together and do good deeds together, so that the spirit of public welfare can be passed on forever, and live up to the expectations of this era and the love from the bottom of our hearts.
Pony, Martin and the general office
