How to achieve enterprise The successful integration of social responsibility and sports industry will form a long-term mechanism. It is still necessary to explore independently for China's sports industry. " Lining "It has opened up a distinctive road in this exploration.

In Li Ning Co's earnings report, Li Ning Co said: "the group is committed to reforming the traditional supply chain mode and creating a demand oriented supply chain management mode.

Li Ning Co: CSR promotes harmonious marketing

CSR is positively related to performance

Paying attention to CSR is a manifestation of maturity. Industry experts believe that corporate commitment and implementation of social responsibility will also become an integral part of the competitiveness of enterprises. Only in this way can enterprises truly attach importance to and perform their social responsibilities consistently. According to a survey report on Chinese enterprises,

86.2% of the respondents will consider social reputation as the criteria for selecting partners and trading partners. This is more evident in the mature market system. The corporate social responsibility promotion society of the United States pointed out that the business that balances the interests of all parties and enterprises is 4 times the growth rate of other companies, and the growth rate of employment is 8 times that of other companies. The survey also found that poor image of professional ethics could make the company's stock fall for at least 6 months. This also echoes the old saying that "Chinese people are more helpful than those who lose their way".

In fact, the development of Li Ning Co CSR is also positively related to the growth of enterprise brand and performance. The two annual reports that are almost simultaneously launched are the best evidence. Zhang Xiaoyan said: "we made a questionnaire survey at the recent national dealer conference. When asked whether it would cooperate with companies who were more willing to pay attention to corporate social responsibility, most dealers gave an answer of 4 points (full score of 5 points). In addition, we play Lining's participation in public welfare activities in the flagship stores of various cities, which play a positive role in improving consumer's brand identity and promoting sales.

Industry experts point out that with the development and progress of society, the public's expectations for corporate social responsibility are increasing rapidly. The public supports and approves that enterprises pursue more economic goals and pursue more social goals. If the behavior of an enterprise is consistent with that of the public, it will surely win good public praise, establish a good corporate image, win more customers, and create a good and relaxed sales atmosphere for the enterprise. At the same time, from the marketing point of view, the undertaking of social responsibility can directly increase the sales volume and profit of the product. In fact, as a market main body in a market economy, many social behaviors of a company do not exclude the purpose of direct utilitarianism. Although it is driven by profit motive, it is also a win-win activity. Moreover, by taking on social responsibility, a company obtains a "higher level" image, which not only helps to harmonize the relationship between enterprises and consumers, but also helps to harmonize the relationship between the enterprise and the public, social organizations and government agencies, and is conducive to the public relations activities of enterprises and to obtain more opportunities for development.

Zhang Xiao Yan also said that Li Ning Co is also exploring the process of making products itself, making enterprise brand and doing social brand. Li Ning Co hopes to closely link corporate social responsibility with the cause of sports enterprises, and open a new path for the vigorous development of China's sports industry in the future.
