China Eastern Airlines released its 2023 ESG report recently,
comprehensively showcasing its proactive actions in promoting
sustainable development in collaboration with various parties.
With the company's assistance, Cangyuan and Shuangjiang counties
in Yunnan province are becoming even more harmonious and
livable.
Journalists, foreign hosts, and aviation influencers recently
visited Cangyuan and Shuangjiang counties in Lincang, southwest
China's Yunnan Province, to experience first-hand the wonderful
lives of the local residents.
Leveraging its advantages, China Eastern Airlines has actively
and continuously operated and invested in designated routes for
rural revitalization, connecting Lincang with major cities like
Beijing and Shanghai.
In 2023 alone, these routes have driven an increase of over 570
million yuan in the city's GDP.
During the visit, the delegation went to an ecological tourism
model village aided by China Eastern Airlines, where they saw
modern residential housing, sewage networks, and solar-powered
street lamps, and listened to the story of villagers becoming
"fashion designers" and showcasing their works on international
runways.
In the village, there is a poverty alleviation workshop that
promotes local agricultural specialties, and villagers also benefit
from the beekeeping business. The average per capita income in the
village has increased significantly compared to 2019.
Thanks to the donation by China Eastern Airlines, local middle
school students are able to study in spacious and bright
classrooms. Local teachers also went to Beijing and Shanghai to
receive relevant training and brought back quality educational
resources.
It is reported that China Eastern Airlines, through these
routes, has cumulatively driven an increase of over 8 billion yuan
in the local GDP and created over 100,000 jobs.
