This prestigious award recognizes Ucommune's significant contribution to the development of CSR practices as one of China's innovative and pioneering co-working community providers.
Organized by the UN NGO/DPI Executive Committee and the Global CSR Foundation, the 2019 UN Global Corporate Social Responsibility Summit awards enterprises and individuals that have integrated CSR into their core business operations and strategies. With its mission to cultivate communities for young entrepreneurs to zero in on solutions for today's pressing social, economic and environmental challenges, Ucommune works hand-in-hand with global partners to pursue global sustainability goals and is recognized by the UN as a vital player in building a sustainable urban future.
"We are honored to receive this invitation. This UN award validates our ongoing commitment to reshape the culture of work for new generations. With our origins as a space-as-a-service platform to serve burgeoning start-ups, Ucommune naturally bears the responsibility to spearhead the global CSR agenda both now and in the future," said Mao. "Through constantly striving to improve our services to empower the next generation of entrepreneurs, we aim to ignite the spirit of sustainable entrepreneurship and bring forth social transformation for the world in this new era."
