On July 14, 2026, amid intense summer heat, a visiting group led by Lin Chongjian, Deputy Director of Ningbo Municipal Working Committee on Children and Teenagers, Zhai Junfeng, Deputy Director of the Municipal Committee Office, Zhang Jianren, Director of Cixi Working Committee on Children and Teenagers, Fan Weimin, Full-time Deputy Director and Ye Peixue, Office Director, paid a special visit to the summer holiday school operated by Ningbo Eastsun Paper Products Co., Ltd. at Zhangqi No.2 School. They delivered warm summer care and consolation gifts to children of our employees and volunteer tutors, implementing the corporate ESG Social (S) pillar public welfare through government-enterprise cooperation.

The Eastsun summer holiday school (summer childcare program) is specially built for children of dual-income migrant workers in our factory, accommodating 36 kids of our staff and solving the long-standing difficulty of summer childcare for manufacturing families. It serves as a regular public welfare project under Eastsun’s people-oriented management and comprehensive ESG sustainable development strategy. Since its opening on July 8, the program has offered a full set of supporting services including homework tutoring, moral lectures delivered by national model workers, natural science popularization, outdoor sports activities and safe nutritional catering, with professional volunteer supervisors on duty all day. It balances children’s academic progress, physical and mental health and moral education, winning wide recognition from students, employees and local government authorities.

The visiting group entered classrooms to communicate closely with children in class, and learned detailed information about daily courses, catering services, summer safety management and outdoor activity facilities of the childcare program. They fully affirmed Eastsun’s warm initiative to build a summer childcare platform for staff children and devote to youth care work with nearly 20 years of local operation in Zhangqi, Cixi. On behalf of the Working Committee, leaders presented stationery gift boxes, STEAM science experiment kits and other consolation supplies to all children and on-site volunteers. They encouraged children to cherish learning opportunities and grow up positively, and expressed sincere gratitude to volunteers who dedicate spare time to public welfare childcare.

Leaders, volunteers and all children took warm group photos to record the heartwarming moment. The kids shared joyfully: “We are so happy and grateful for leaders’ care.” This simple feedback vividly reflects the value of the government-enterprise public welfare childcare program. Committee leaders stated that private enterprises running summer holiday schools effectively ease childcare pressure for migrant worker families, forming a people-benefiting grassroots project with profound warmth. They highly praised Eastsun for taking social responsibility while developing paper packaging foreign trade and becoming a top trusted color box supplier in East China. The company integrates employee care and youth public welfare into long-term ESG sustainable operation system, setting a benchmark of humanistic public welfare for local manufacturing enterprises.
