Strengthen cooperative co-creation, enabling industrial ecological innovation
Based on the development of the industry and the change of consumer demand, it has become an important goal of the supply chain of China Housing to build a sustainable and healthy development ecosystem with cooperative suppliers.

We often joke that Huazhu supply chain is a training camp for quality suppliers in the hospitality industry."Promote environmental protection practice, Huazhu supply chain to explore a new model of green development
In the process of high-speed growth to high-quality development stage, the hotel group supply chain needs to quickly complete the role of "passive solver" to "active leader". We should get out of the mode constraint of summarizing experience and lessons in time, and make forward-looking ideas and plans according to the policy and market direction timely, so as to promote the development of the industry towards a healthy and sustainable direction.
Aiming at the linen washing field which cannot be ignored in the hotel industry, Huazhu supply chain also focuses on promoting the construction of "green" centralized washing system.

Layout of rural revitalization, Chinese housing supply chain to open up a new path to help farmers increase income
After the victory of poverty alleviation, rural revitalization has become the latest top-level design and national strategy related to rural areas. In this regard, Huazhu Group actively implements the concept of "consumption assists agriculture and supports industry" to help local economic development, making "industrial support" an effective path for rural revitalization, realizing that the products of rural origin can be spread from the fields to all parts of the country, improving the competitiveness of local agricultural products, and thus driving the realization of "common prosperity".
In July this year, Huazhu Supply Chain signed a strategic cooperation agreement with Xinli Village, Xinglong Township, Wuchang City. Through the direct supply ecological chain of the place of origin, we control the high quality of products from the source, and continue to deliver healthy, organic and green Wuchang rice to Huazhu hotel guests, further building Huazhu ecological farm. In addition to creating a new way for local farmers to increase income and get rich, the hotel industry has also gone out of the development sample of "helping farmers to increase income and revitalizing the countryside". In June, the Supply Chain Center of Huazhu Group jointly launched the "Whole Season Ecological Tea Mountain crowdfunding plan" with the Group's subsidiary Quanji Hotel, which greatly alleviated the plight of 180,000 tea farmers in Zhenghe County, Fujian Province, whose white tea sales were hindered by the epidemic. At present, Zhenghe White Tea can be found in more than 100,000 guest rooms in more than 200 cities in China in the whole season. The annual purchase volume of tea bags in the whole season is nearly 10 million packs, containing 60 thousand jin of raw tea. It not only brings pure Oriental tea drinking experience to more than 40 million guests in the whole season, but also makes Zhenghe White Tea brand famous, further promotes the promotion of local economy, promotes local employment and improves the life of tea farmers. < /p>< /p>With the constant changes of the global economic environment, trade pattern and innovation industry, the importance of the strategic position of the supply chain has become increasingly prominent, and gradually become a new battlefield of the game between enterprises. The hotel industry is no exception. The industry competition in the future will gradually shift from the previous efficiency and price competition to the full-link battle stage. The construction and continuous upgrading of the supply chain system will provide more effective resources for the competitors, so as to maintain the leading position.
