Meet the winners of our More than a Market Awards 2019!

German companies and organizations with operations in Mainland China were invited to submit applications for ongoing social activities. An independent Chinese-German jury carefully evaluated 102 submitted projects from companies, which account for some 500,000 jobs in China. Among the 20 shortlisted finalists, the jury selected the winners for this year based on criteria such as impact, relevance, innovation, transferability and sustainability. The Awards were handed out at the More than a Market Awards Gala on the evening of the 30 May 2019, with H.E. Shi Mingde, the former ambassador of China to Germany, welcomed as the keynote speaker of the evening. Filled with workshops and discussions of ways to further expand social responsibility, the preceding ‘More than a Market Forum’ provided a platform for sharing and developing best practices and peer-learning of social engagement by German companies in China.
