In September 2009, as a founding member, AXA joined the ambitious Euro-China Center for Leadership and Responsibility (ECCLAR) program.
Developed within the China Europe International Business School (CEIBS) and created by the European Union and China in 1995, the school has become one of the world’s leading business schools over the past decade.
Faced with China’s growing role in the world, ECCLAR has set itself the objectives of further developing training for responsible Chinese leaders, while improving mutual understanding between Europeans and Chinese over the long term.
To achieve these goals, the Center is committed to four principles, focusing on research, education and training, sharing and distributing knowledge through networking, and producing publications.
A CEIBS partner since 2000, AXA is further strengthening its involvement by sponsoring ECCLAR. And proving its commitment to managing its Asian partnerships responsibly.
CEIBS Vice President and Co-Dean Zhang Weijiong, in his opening remarks said :”AXA enjoys a long and distinguished history as an industry leader in China, a company that has set and maintained standards of excellence in the insurance field. Therefore, AXA makes an ideal corporate partner to sponsor the Euro-China Centre for Leadership and Responsibility”. Prof Zhang pointed out that AXA has been a corporate partner of CEIBS since 2000, and welcomed the company in expanding its support of the school through assuming sponsorship of the ECCLAR.
