In this year’s report, COSCO Group and COSCO Container Lines play the key principal part. The key indicators of other subsidiary companies are brought in the report of COSCO Group and the implementation of sustainable development is stated through an investigation report. From next year, the coverage of the report will be gradually extended, and all second-tier subsidiary companies will be tried to cover in the report of 2008.

From 2006, COSCO Group’s report on sustainable development will be compiled in fiscal year as normal.
