01 Executive’s Remarks
General Motors had a prosperous year in China in 2012, with an 11 percent sales increase from 2011. That’s primarily because GM and our joint ventures offer the widest range of attractive high-quality vehicles with advanced technologies, such as the new Buick Encore and Cadillac XTS. We are pleased that our vehicles are helping improve the quality of life of people across the nation.
We are not just focused on building and selling vehicles, but are also committed to creating a safer, greener and healthier community. As an automaker, it’s natural to focus on making China’s roads safer. The GM Safe Road Project shows drivers and their passengers the importance of using safety belts and child safety seats. Helping protect natural wetlands is the focus of the GM Restoring Nature’s Habitat Project. Finally, providing those in rural areas with much-needed access to quality health care is the focus of our Back to 100 Rural Hospitals and SAIC-GM- Wuling Motorcade initiatives.
GM is also helping protect the environment by applying our philosophy for sustainability to manufacturing and supply chain management. Today our facilities produce less waste than those of any other automaker. In our 105 landfill- free sites around the globe, including 10 in China, waste generated from our operations is reused, recycled or converted to energy instead of going into a landfill. We are also helping our parts suppliers to reduce their energy use and waste production.
Above all, we are taking care of our most valuable resource, our more than 55,000 employees across China. Our market-competitive compensation and benefits, career development opportunities and professional working environment all help us to attract and retain the best talent in China.
In the years to come, GM will continue to give back to the communities in which we work and live through our corporate social responsibility initiatives. We plan to continue to practice our strategy of working in China, with China and for China.
