The European Union Chamber of Commerce in China is delighted to invite you to our Shanghai Celebration Dinner on 24th September 2024.
The Shanghai Celebration Dinner is an opportunity to celebrate the close partnership between European-China business relations in Shanghai, while connecting with government officials from Shanghai and the neighbouring provinces, members of the European business and diplomatic community and promoting your brand.
Shanghai, being one of the most international cities in China, is home to over 610 member companies of the European Chamber. In 2024, with Shanghai making efforts to optimise business environment and advance market opening, the European community remains deeply engaged in the city’s policy and economic development. Entering the fourth quarter of the year, it is high time to celebrate the achievements made over the past year between European companies, the EU and Chinese stakeholders and look into the future for collaborations to come in 2025.
At the previous dinners, we brought together more than 70 local government officials and a total of 300 participants. We were thrilled to welcome leaders of the Shanghai Municipal Government and various government department leaders, as well as the EU Ambassador to China and EU Consuls General over a business dinner in a unique atmosphere.
This year again, the European Chamber Shanghai is honoured to invite the Head of Delegation of the European Union to the People's Republic of China as guest of honour.

On 24th April, the European Parliament voted and adopted the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD), meaning it is now a legal responsibility for companies in the European Union (EU) to comply with the sustainability legislation and regulations indicated in the directive. Not complying with, or violating, legal requirements will lead to a significant financial or social impact for the company to bear.
While CSDDD is taking into effect in the EU, the directive also influences companies currently doing business in China. The impact of CSDDD spreads across the entire supply chain, potentially impacting all business partners and more importantly, the value chain. The due diligence expectations of CSDDD mean companies need to have awareness of the directive and prepare for the practical actions necessary for the company’s supply chain to comply.
The influence of CSDDD goes beyond geographical boundaries and extends across company functions and departments including the supply chain, procurement, finance and marketing, and legal teams.
So, what actions should your company take to comply with CSDDD? What are the implications for your business operations, compliance and company excellence? Join us at the event on 13th June to hear insights and best practices from experienced lawyers from Europe, sustainability experts, academia and industry.
