LI & FUNG LIMITED | ANNUAL REPORT 2010 5 CHAIRMAN’S STATEMENT Victor Fung Chairman f there were any doubts as to whether the twenty-first century Iwould be the “Asian century”, 2010 may have put them finally to rest. In 2010, the Asia Pacific region emerged in pole position as a global growth driver and the site of one of the most exciting economic and social transformations in contemporary history. We have just begun to grasp the very deep impacts that the rise of Asia will have on global trade and investment, consumer markets and the economic landscape. Many of these changes are already underway, as evidenced in China this year. In an effort to promote social stability and worker living standards, factory wages went up by as much as 20% to 30% in 2010. At the same time, rising consumer demand from China and other developing markets, coupled with unpredictable weather and speculation, led to substantial price increases and volatility for raw materials and commodities. These factors, combined with the ongoing depreciation of the US dollar, have created an environment of rising cost pressures that is having profound impact on trade and global sourcing. 6 LI & FUNG LIMITED | ANNUAL REPORT 2010 CHAIRMAN’S STATEMENT (CONTINUED) In response, some companies have been shifting certain parts To extend this competitive advantage, we are constantly of their supply chain operations in China inland and away from seeking new locations that can deliver the right combination the more expensive coastal areas, or out of the country and into of quality and value.

  • Annual Report 2014-15.Pdf
    Message from the Chairman For the past 15 years, The Dragon Foundation has worked hard to bring together young ethnic Chinese from all over the world to know more about their heritage and to find out how best they may contribute both to their own communities and to China. With technology so highly developed – and advancing almost every day – I believe that these connections, collaborations and partnerships may only grow closer. Technology aims at more than just communication however, and today’s young people are seeking ways to harness its power for employment and education. For this reason, The Dragon Foundation co-organised with the Hong Kong Federation of Youth Groups, the first Global Youth Entrepreneurs Forum. It brought together 400 young Chinese persons, including the Dragon 100 delegates, who sat down to learn, discuss and discover ways to improve their own entrepreneurial skills. The enrichment is not only for enhancing employability but also as a mean of driving the world economy. I remain impressed by the young “Dragons” who are always looking to the future, while also remaining committed to serving their communities. This is especially true of the Foundation’s two alumni associations, DragoNation and Envision Hong Kong. None of this would have been possible without the hard work and efforts of so many. My heartfelt thanks go to all the Foundation Directors, especially the Members of the Programme and Fund Raising Committees, for their tireless work. I would particularly like to thank Shelley Lee, Tenniel Chu and Christopher Lau for organising the Sixth Charity Golf Tournament at Mission Hills Shenzhen Clubbhouse.
