第二十届中国发展高层论坛将于3月23-25日举行。今年论坛增设了一个“CDF之声”栏目，向国内公众和国际社会传递论坛与会代表的观点和心声。今天发声的是雀巢公司首席执行官乌尔夫. 马克. 施奈德。

早在1908年，雀巢公司就在上海开设了它在中国的第一家销售办事处。1920年，又在香港成立雀巢产品有限公司。

上世纪八十年代，雀巢在黑龙江双城建立了大陆第一个奶区和第一家工厂，从而开始了在中国内地的大规模发展。

雀巢公司首席执行官乌尔夫. 马克. 施奈德表示，中国的经济增长不仅为中国，也为全球其他国家带来了无数机遇：

“雀巢对中国市场的未来发展前景非常乐观。”

以下为施奈德先生演讲中英文全文：

中国的经济转型盛景纷呈，亦改变了历史发展进程。

在短短四十年内，这个人口最多的国家已成为世界第二大经济体。

更重要的是，中国的经济增长不仅为中国，也为全球其他国家带来了无数机遇。

作为第一批抓住机遇的跨国公司之一，雀巢于20世纪80年代，就在中国参与奶区建设并设立了一家乳品工厂。

中国现在已经成为雀巢集团在全球的第二大市场。雀巢在中国拥有约5万名员工，运营33家工厂。

在世界其他地方生产的几乎所有雀巢产品类别在中国也都有生产和销售。

此外，雀巢还通过太太乐、徐福记、银鹭等本土知名品牌满足中国消费者不断变化的多元需求。 雀巢对中国市场的未来发展前景非常乐观。

我们通过多元化的投资来提升我们的业务，其中包括为农民提供的培训和技术援助、研发创新、生产制造和食品安全。

世界各地的公共和私营部门都面临着可持续增长的共同挑战。雀巢欢迎中国社会通过创新、协作、环保、开放、共享驱动的发展模式，实现14亿人口的持续繁荣。

值得一提的是，为了应对塑料带来的全球挑战，我们承诺在2025年之前，使雀巢所有的包装可回收或再利用。

雀巢为实现健康目标而做出的努力，也将贡献于中国的可持续发展。

中国哲学家荀子曾说过：“吾尝跂而望矣，不如登高之博见也。”CDF正是如此，让人们站得更高，获得更加开阔的视野。

China’s economic transformation is nothing short of spectacular and has changed the course of human history. 

In just four decades, the most populous nation has become the second largest economy in the world.  Even more significantly, this growth has opened up numerous opportunities for China and other countries globally.

Nestlé was one of the first multinational companies to grasp these opportunities, with the construction of a milk district and a dairy factory in the 1980s. 

China is now the second-largest market of the Nestlé Group. Nestlé China employs about 50,000 people and operates 33 factories.  Just about every product category we have elsewhere in the world is also manufactured and sold in China. 

In addition, we serve the diverse and ever-changing needs of Chinese consumers through popular local brands like Totole, Hsu Fu Chi and Yinlu.

Nestlé is very optimistic about the future prospects of the Chinese market. We have strengthened our business by investing in a diverse industrial set-up, including training and technical assistance to farmers, research and development, manufacturing and food safety.

Sustainable growth has been a common challenge for both the public and private sector around the world. We welcome China’s development model driven by innovation, coordination, eco-friendly development, openness and sharing to bring about the continued prosperity of its 1.4 billion population.

A highlight is that in response to the global challenge of plastics, we are committed to make all our packaging recyclable or reusable by 2025. 

Our efforts in bringing our purpose to life will contribute to China’s sustainable development.   

Xunzi, a Chinese philosopher, said:  I once stood on my toes to look far away, but it wasn’t as good as the broad view from a high place. CDF makes people stand higher and look broader.
