On a Beijing freezing morning on New Years Day 01/01/2014
the directors of Go Frontiers who train companies in China and the UK in
British and Chinese business culture and etiquette kept their promise of Corporate Social Responsibility in China and got involved with a local Buddhist group in
Beijing to help restock a lake that had previously been polluted and the fish
stocks depleted.
With every one getting involved they managed to purchase
four lorry loads of carp that where destined for the morning fish markets.
After a short Buddhist ceremony the young and old carried
and dragged buckets of fish from the trucks to the lake. In sub zero temperatures
every one had to move fast and stay dry, which is hard when you are dealing
with large fish.
Director Gary Rice said, "Many Chinese were amazed and very
pleased to see an Englishman from an English company paying an interest in
their local community and helping with a local environment issue. Many Chinese
came up to me shook my hand and thanked me".
When Go Frontiers first started in business the directors
(one English and one Chinese) decided on having a corporate social responsibility
policy to help the areas where the directors grew up as children (Ripley and Beijing).
