ESG, environmental, social and governance

Alibaba-ESG-Report-2018 阿里巴巴环境,社会和管理报告2018

We have always felt a responsibility to help solve problems in society, because that is implied in our mission – "to make it easy to do business anywhere" – and we must consider how we will continue to manage risks and opportunities, including those associated with environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors.

We believe public trust is earned by demonstrating that everything we do is sustainable.

The pursuit of sustainability requires that we do the right thing when our business impacts the environment and society, and we need a system of governance to ensure that we are always choosing the right ethical path.

Alibaba Alibaba has a unique governance model.

To understand our system of corporate

governance, it is important to understand

the role of our Mission that guides us, our

Vision that brings focus to our strategy,

and our Partnership System that plays

an active role in key decisions in the

areas of leadership succession, human

capital management, business ethics

and social responsibility.
