"Epidemic situation" makes the operation of global enterprises very complex: enterprises must filter "epidemic information" to protect the stability of operation and the health of employees, so as to ensure business continuity, personnel rotation and international mobility with difficult management; They must communicate clearly with all stakeholders to ensure that employees are more comfortable when they go to work, travel or long-term assignment abroad; Managers need operational insight to make informed decisions in a changing environment. " Gao Zhuo, managing director of International SOS Greater China, said in an interview with China trade news, "the epidemic has undoubtedly had a far-reaching and lasting impact on all enterprises. The 27 assistance centers of International SOS operate seamlessly all over the world to ensure that they can provide high standards of operation and consistent support to customers during the epidemic, regardless of the local risk complexity.

Gao Zhuo said that China has successfully controlled the epidemic for a long time, and many industries, such as high-tech industry, pharmaceutical industry, biotechnology and logistics industry, are recovering steadily. However, the overseas epidemic is still not optimistic“ At the same time, most globalized Chinese enterprises still maintain the continuous operation of their overseas business, especially in the mining industry, which is very important for the development of energy, metals and technology required for China's economic development. " Therefore, Gaozhuo believes that enterprises must take long-term measures to ensure that their employees are well protected in overseas business.
"Despite the impact of the pandemic, International SOS will continue to invest in strengthening global infrastructure and key capacity-building, many of which are very consistent with the needs of Chinese customers, such as protecting their global labor force in overseas projects, safely maintaining operations, and preparing for the resumption of international business travel. We are accelerating the pace of developing the Chinese enterprise market, providing them with integrated medical and safety information, assistance, remote consultation and training, so that they can continue to carry out business in a challenging world. All these efforts help to improve the resilience of its employees around the world. " Gao Zhuo said.
In the process of responding to the epidemic, International SOS believes that China has provided a broad market for the world and has gradually become the main stabilizer and engine of global economic growth. As the world's second largest economy, China continues to attract the world's top multinational companies seeking to establish business and expand their layout. The expanding market and improving business environment make China more attractive to foreign investors“ This is a two-way competitive environment, and Chinese local enterprises are also increasing investment. Facing the future market, we can see that foreign companies have more opportunities to bring their mature brands into the Chinese market for competition. China is one of our most important and fastest-growing markets. We are confident to maintain the sustained and accelerated growth of our business in China. " Gao Zhuo said.
