The company put people first for harmonious growth by giving employees a major role in company growth, materializing benefits to employees and sharing success with them.
Sinopec’s subsidiaries carried out the Guidance on Establishing and Improving Workers’ Congress Regime in Companies and Public Institutions in real earnest by adopting an open manner in dealing with enterprise affairs, taking into unified consideration of democratic management, key issues that matters the big picture, hotly debated difficulties that concern workers’ interests, and issues related to production, operation, personnel management and income distribution. In this way the company expanded channels for democratic management and oversight to make management decisions in a scientific, disciplined and orderly manner.

In line with the principle of “Offering tangible help to those in real need”, Sinopec stepped up aid to those in need of help and attended to workers in difficulties to let them share the company’s growth results. The company upheld the philosophy of putting people first to improve work environment, meals, health checkups, recuperation and holiday for more sense of loyalty and cohesion.

Sinopec often organized sports and culture events to enrich employees’ life, vitalize their spirits, build their characters for a harmonious working place.
