The Climate Group, a global non-profit non-government organization, launched its Carbon Treasure-China's Corporate Carbon Strategy program in Beijing on November 5.

The program is designed to help Chinese enterprises embark on a low-carbon path of development, with a focus on finance and power sectors and supply chain management. It also seeks to help leading corporations influence other companies to better promote and spread the best low-carbon practices.

Enterprises are the backbone in low-carbon business development, said Tony Blair, former Prime Minister of the United Kingdom and co-founder of the Climate Group, at the launch ceremony.

These enterprises play vanguard roles in technological innovation and low-carbon practices, and they should not wait for the government to take action first, he said.
