At the conference, a Sinopec representative delivered a keynote titled Cleaner Energy, Better Life: Deepening China-Europe Green Cooperation for a Low-Carbon Energy Future. The phrase Cleaner Energy, Better Life serves as both Sinopec’s guiding principle for green and low-carbon development and its solemn commitment to the world. The speech noted that green and low-carbon development is a shared pursuit of all humanity and that China and Europe have vast potential for cooperation in this field.
The conference, as an open and professional exchange platform, takes the role of encouraging Chinese and European enterprises to work together in advancing sustainable development and jointly charting a blueprint for a greener future.
