Geely vision for social welfare is to “Let the world feel love” with a focus on education and environmental protection. Our social welfare projects cover three areas of public interest – culture, poverty alleviation, and support for the underprivileged. Our targeted social welfare projects follow four core principles in order to solve societal issues, discovering the root of the problem, achieving community integration, promoting the in-depth participation of stakeholders, and developing a sustainable social welfare model.
