Businesses told to learn from foreign NGOs

NGOs from overseas can provide valuable recommendations and consultations to help Chinese businesses adapt to different business environments in countries supporting the Belt and Road Initiative, representatives of the NGOs said on Wednesday.

By getting involved in the initiative, Chinese companies will conduct more business in foreign countries, which have different policies on environmental protection.

NGOs, such as the Energy Foundation, which aims to promote energy efficiency, can provide clear guidelines, said He Dongquan, vice-president of the foundation's Beijing office.
