As Wen Zhao, Chief Editor of The Economic Observer, said at the annual meeting, "Enterprises, no matter state-owned or private, no matter local brands or foreign-invested brands, are practitioners of innovation, creators of wealth, and successors and constructors of commercial civilization. They have a strong sense of mission and responsibility and clear values. No matter what areas they are engaged in and what they do, they reflect the same spiritual qualities."

The companies are comprehensively evaluated based on the five key indexes of industry leadership, innovative competitiveness, sustainable development, environmental friendliness and charity through rigorous examination and voting, thereby selecting the Most Respected Companies of China of a year.
