Dai Houliang Visited FREP to Extend His Regards before the Spring Festival
On behalf of CPC SINOPEC Committee, the delegation led by Dai Houliang, CPC SINOPEC Committee Member & Senior Vice-President, visited FPCL and FREP to extend his regards on January 12 as the Chinese New Year was coming.
Accompanied by FPCL/FREP leaders Lu Dong and Chen Xiaobo, the delegation headed by Dai Houliang visited the production site to show solicitude for grassroots employees and deliver the New Year’s greetings to FREP staff on behalf of CPC SINOPEC Committee.
Dai shook hands cordially with the employees in the production site and offered flowers and presents to them as a token of solicitude immediately after he alighted from the car. On the site of 700 KTPA Aromatics Complex, Dai talked with the principals of PROC Chemicals-2 BT with great interest, inquiring minutely about the processes and operation conditions of the Complex.
Dai said with great delight that he, entrusted by CPC SINOPEC Committee Secretary and SINOPEC Board Chairman Fu Chengyu, came to visit all staff of FREP immediately before the advent of the Spring Festival on behalf of CPC SINOPEC Committee. Meanwhile, he delivered his New Year’s blessing to foreign executives residing at FERP. Dai said that in the face of the complicated and capricious circumstances home and abroad in 2011, FREP management had led the staff to brave adversities, strive strenuously against difficulties, focus on core issues and exercise pragmatism in the performance of obligations, thereby accomplishing various annual production/operation goals satisfactorily. Dai laid stress on two points in particular: 1. attention should be paid to accomplishing HSE goals and ensuring the safety of individual employees so as to create a sound working environment; 2. backed by the close cooperation among and the robust support by the four shareholders from three countries, further efforts should be made to optimize the operation, strive for higher goals, and create better benefits for the shareholders.
FREP President Lu Dong said that 2012 was an important juncture year for implementing FREP five-year goal of “Building an Integrated Leading Refining & Petrochemical Enterprise in Asia”. “While faithfully implementing shareholders’ directives and Board resolutions, FREP would follow the market trend, centralize on economic returns, take advantage of optimization, and lay consistent emphasis on Five KFAs, ensuring new progress in performance as well as maximized profits and economic returns for shareholders,” said Lu. “These practices would help lay a solid foundation for implementing the five-year plan of ‘Building an Integrated Leading Refining & Petrochemical Enterprise in Asia’ for creating/ sharing a beautiful home for FREP.”
FREP Vice-President Brian Ablett expressed his thanks to the delegation led by Senior Vice-President Dai Houliang for their visit to FREP staff by terming it an “encouraging” act. Due to the healthy cooperation relations among SINOPEC, Exxon Mobil and Saudi Aramco, the JV parties were able to bring their respective advantages into full play to realize the harmony of corporate governance structures and corporate cultures and propel production & operation onto the right track. Brian Ablett said he was firm in the belief backed by such powerful shareholders as SINOPEC, Fujian Province, Exxon Mobil and Saudi Aramco, FREP would surely grasp all opportunities available to head steadfastly for the established goals, provide customers with high-quality products, maximize value for shareholders, and build itself into a model for Sino-foreign joint ventures.
