On 24th April, the European Parliament voted and adopted the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD), meaning it is now a legal responsibility for companies in the European Union (EU) to comply with the sustainability legislation and regulations indicated in the directive. Not complying with, or violating, legal requirements will lead to a significant financial or social impact for the company to bear.
While CSDDD is taking into effect in the EU, the directive also influences companies currently doing business in China. The impact of CSDDD spreads across the entire supply chain, potentially impacting all business partners and more importantly, the value chain. The due diligence expectations of CSDDD mean companies need to have awareness of the directive and prepare for the practical actions necessary for the company’s supply chain to comply.
The influence of CSDDD goes beyond geographical boundaries and extends across company functions and departments including the supply chain, procurement, finance and marketing, and legal teams.
So, what actions should your company take to comply with CSDDD? What are the implications for your business operations, compliance and company excellence? Join us at the event on 13th June to hear insights and best practices from experienced lawyers from Europe, sustainability experts, academia and industry.

到了2024年了，短视频时代已经形成。人人都用短视频购物，人人都有短视频账号。
每年各平台的势力此消彼长，目前是抖音一家独大，小红书异军突起的状态。短视频平台的商业化是各平台均鼓励的。这个过程中，流量获取越来越贵，各平台为了吸引存量流量，对争议型话题颇为青睐。这就导致了企业的负面信息的扩散很快。一旦爆料者发布的负面信息踩中“流量密码”，瞬间爆火。此外，很多企业也运营自己的社交媒体账号，内容和评论区同样存在舆情隐患。本课专门探讨小红书和抖音这两个用户维权型和个人爆料型舆情高发区的危机公关。

[Background 背景]

With over four decades of foreign-funded enterprises entering China, accompanied by China’s opening-up policy and active promotion of foreign investment, the legal framework applicable to foreign-funded enterprises has been continuously evolving. In order to provide a favorable and equitable business environment for foreign investment, the Foreign Investment Law came into effect in 2020, replacing the three old laws related to foreign investment and marking a new chapter where foreign-funded enterprises are equally subject to the Company Law. To meet the demands of economic development, the Company Law was revised at the end of last year and will come into effect on July 1, 2024. This revision proposes numerous new requirements concerning registered capital system, rights and responsibilities of shareholders, directors, supervisors and senior executives which will undoubtedly bring both new opportunities and challenges for foreign-funded enterprises.
外企入华四十余载，伴随着中国对外开放、积极引入外资的进程，适用于外资企业的法律法规也在不断变迁。为了给予外资优良公平的营商环境，《外商投资法》于2020年开始施行，旧三资法相应废止并归入历史，外资企业翻开了平等适用《公司法》的发展新篇章。为了适应经济发展需求，《公司法》于去年底通过修订并将于2024年7月1日起施行。此次修订对注册资本制度、股东及董监高权责提出了诸多新要求，必将为外资企业带来全新的机遇与挑战。

“Capital” and “Person” have always been the two cornerstones for development of enterprises. Through this presentation, we will summarize the legislative evolution in recent years affecting foreign-funded enterprises, focusing on the impact of the new regulatory framework under Company Law from the perspectives of “Capital” and “Person” which are critical to corporate governance and operations. We will discuss topics such as capital contributions of shareholders, capital increase and decrease, equity transfer procedures, appointment of legal representatives, corporate governance structures, shareholders’ rights and responsibilities, rights and responsibilities of directors, supervisors, and senior executives, as well as risks and safeguards related to their roles.
“资”与“人”，向来是企业发展的两大基石。通过本次分享活动，我们将归纳近年来涉及外资企业的立法演进，重点从关涉公司治理与经营的“资”与“人”之角度探讨新的公司法规制模式对外资企业的影响，对股东出资、公司增资减资、股权转让、法定代表人的选任、公司治理结构、股东权责、董监高权责及任职风险与保障等方面进行探讨。

有了 Power 插件，EXCEL 开启自动化时代面对海量数据，如何快速提炼、合并表单？如何整理成规范智能的工作表？如何迅速建立灵活的分析环境，找到问题和关键原因，找到破解问题的方法？如何讲操作过程自动化？如何轻松完成复杂解题过程？单凭 EXCEL 常规用法显得力不从心，高版本的 EXCEL 提供 Power 智能插件，让我们走进数据自动化办公时代，工作变得轻松又高效。Excel Query 插件，提高 10 倍效率的整理法数据整理虽然不能带来多高的价值，但会用 PQ 智能工具能节省出 80%的整理时间。如果可以将繁冗的数据整理工作搭建成一套智能的数据模型，数据的增删改都可以在其中自动化运转，这不次于亲手组装一条自动化的生产线。这就是我们一直寻找的提升 10 倍效率的工作法。Excel AI 插件，提升函数的解题能力在 365 版本中新增加的 AI 函数是个亮点，自动化支持数据增删改，减少重复工作，智能识别数据范围，加速计算运行，在课上我们可以一起感受这些函数的强大之处。
Faced with massive amounts of data, how can you quickly extract and merge sheets? How can you organize them into standardized, intelligent worksheets? How can you swiftly establish a flexible analysis environment to identify issues and key causes, and find solutions? How can you automate the operational process and easily complete complex problem-solving tasks? Conventional Excel usage falls short in these areas. However, with the Power intelligent add-ins provided by the latest versions of Excel, we enter an era of automated data management, making work easier and more efficient.Although data organization itself may not add significant value, using the Power Query (PQ) intelligent tool can save up to 80% of the time spent on data organization. By creating an intelligent data model, where data additions, deletions, and modifications can be automated, it’s akin to assembling an automated production line. This is the 10x efficiency improvement method we’ve been looking for.A highlight of the 365 version is the newly added AI functions. These functions support automated data additions, deletions, and modifications, reducing repetitive tasks, intelligently recognizing data ranges, and accelerating computational processes. During the course, we will experience the powerful features of these functions together.

数据时代人力资源的工作已经不能单靠 HR 的直觉来做决定了，日新月异的数字时代，多元化的员工结构，人力资源各模块大量的基础数据，人力资源从业者需要从传统的人力资源工作思维向数字化思维转型，数据驱动业务，提升人力资源工作运营效率。现在大部分的 HR 缺乏人力资源数据分析的能力，对数据分析的认识也停留在 EXCEL 做图表的阶段，在数据分析的技能上也仅仅是 EXCEL 的简单的报表处理和基础的图表设计，在数据分析层面仅停留在基础的数据记录和描述层面，并不能结合公司的业务和战略对数据进行分析。

In the era of data, HR work can no longer rely solely on the intuition of HR professionals. The rapidly changing digital age, coupled with a diverse employee structure and the vast amount of fundamental data in various HR modules, necessitates that HR practitioners transition from traditional HR thinking to digital thinking. This transition is driven by data, aimed at enhancing the operational efficiency of HR work.

Currently, most HR professionals lack the ability to analyze HR data and their understanding of data analysis remains at the stage of creating charts in Excel. Their data analysis skills are limited to simple report processing and basic chart design in Excel. At the data analysis level, they only perform basic data recording and description, without being able to analyze the data in conjunction with the company's business and strategic objectives.

As part of its 30/60 carbon neutrality goals, China set a goal for renewable energy to exceed fossil fuel capacity by 2025. Additionally, China’s Green Energy Certificate (GEC) scheme is set to enter a new stage, with it becoming the sole instrument to track renewable energy consumption in China. Alongside this, China is taking firm steps towards standardising business carbon practices. The country's top economic planner, the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC), has announced that the country will speed up the establishment of a product carbon footprint (PCF) system.
