  原标题:“我的2020” | 马士基首席执行官施索仁:疫情显示国家间能形成巨大协同效应

  来源:中国发展高层论坛

  2020年是个不平凡的年份。2020年,新冠疫情席卷全球,全球经济政治不确定性增强,各行业面临全新的机遇与挑战。

  历经2020年的洗礼,站在全新的2021年,世界500强与行业领先企业的商业领袖们,对于自己与家庭的联系,所在企业及行业发展及全球化与合作共赢均有了新的理解。

  今年的“CDF之声”栏目,论坛秘书处邀请参会代表们以“我的2020”为题,分享过去一年来自己与他们所领导的企业、所在行业与国家的共同经历与感受。今天发声的是马士基首席执行官施索仁(Soren Skou)

  马士基曾多次参加中国发展高层论坛年会。施索仁记得,每年中国发展高层论坛召开之际,天气回暖,草木逢春,空气中充满了希望和新的期待。

  今年也是如此。施索仁说,他看到随着疫苗的普及,各地新冠疫情逐步得到控制,漫长的寒冬即将过去,曙光就在眼前。

  在2020年,施索仁见证了新冠疫情对全球供应链的冲击,也因此深谙全球合作对世界经济复苏的重要性。

  “在疫情肆虐之时,全球供应链体系虽然受阻,仍保持运转。新冠疫情展示了国家、经济及社会可以形成巨大的协同效应。随着世界从危机管理过渡到恢复发展,贸易将成为重要的推动力。”

  他认为,为此各国必须在以下三个方面凝聚决心与意志:

  首先,在经济复苏过程中坚持贸易自由化。保护主义相当于在生产者与消费者之间增加税负,这是最不应该采取的举措。

  其次,在开放的贸易中恢复信任。为推动可持续的经济复苏和增长,我们敦促恢复一个基于规则、且每个参与者都严格遵守的贸易体系。

  第三,构建一个充满韧性的全球供应链体系。新冠疫情告诫大家,全球供应链是我们共有的经济基础设施的重要组成部分。作为本行业的领导者,我强烈感受到与客户、行业合作伙伴、各国政府及国际组织的对话至关重要。

  施索仁表示将积极响应中国在2060年实现碳中和的目标。

  我们今天所面临的挑战是全球性的,仅凭一个国家、一个公司的力量远远不够。航运及燃油链条上的脱碳行动需要来自各方的通力合作。作为全球贸易和航运业的领导者,中国在有效应对气候挑战方面具有举足轻重的作用。

  以下是演讲中英文全文:

  通常情况下,中国发展高层论坛每年都会在春天来临之际在北京举办。此时,天气回暖,草木逢春,空气中充满了希望和新的期待。随着疫苗的普及,各地新冠疫情逐步得到控制,漫长的寒冬即将过去,曙光就在眼前。

  新冠疫情是全球贸易过去75年来受到最严峻的挑战。除了保护全体员工的健康安全,我作为A.P.穆勒-马士基首席执行官,工作的重中之重就是确保全球供应链体系的正常运转,从而使各行各业能够始终信赖其供应链体系,其中最重要的任务包括将医疗物资顺利送达医院,食品顺利运抵厨房及餐桌,把疫情对经济及日常生活的影响降到最低。新冠疫情是全球供应链体系韧性的试金石。

  在疫情肆虐之时,全球供应链体系虽然受阻,仍保持运转:我们的集装箱船舶照常行驶,码头及仓库继续运营,集卡也依旧往返于分拨仓库与目的地之间。

  新冠疫情展示了国家、经济及社会可以形成巨大的协同效应。随着世界从危机管理过渡到恢复发展,贸易将成为重要的推动力。

  在过去的半个世纪里,贸易的发展与社会的长足进步及财富创造高度一致。无论身处何地,个人财富的增长与所在国的贸易发展息息相关。而这一次,贸易也将在全球经济复苏过程中起到关键性作用。为此,我们必须在以下三个方面凝聚我们的决心与意志:

  首先,在经济复苏过程中坚持贸易自由化:保护主义相当于在生产者与消费者之间增加税负,这是最不应该采取的举措。

  其次,在开放的贸易中恢复信任:认为贸易带来的利益在各国之间及其内部分配不均是导致贸易保护主义抬头的根源,但是贸易保护只会减少可以分配的财富总量。为推动可持续的经济复苏和增长,我们敦促恢复一个基于规则、且每个参与者都严格遵守的贸易体系。

  第三,构建一个充满韧性的全球供应链体系:新冠疫情告诫大家,全球供应链是我们共有的经济基础设施的重要组成部分。作为本行业的领导者,我强烈感受到与客户、行业合作伙伴、各国政府及国际组织的对话至关重要。

  最后必须牢记,我们需要在后疫情时代面临更多严峻的挑战,包括应对气候变化。

  马士基致力于在2050年实现碳中和,也将在接下来几个月内订造我们的第一艘碳中和集装箱船舶。但我们今天所面临的挑战是全球性的,仅凭一个国家、一个公司的力量远远不够。航运及燃油链条上的脱碳行动需要来自各方的通力合作-包括船公司、物流服务商、研究机构、技术开发者、客户以及政策制定者,才能对行业做出改变并取代化石燃料的传统方式。作为全球贸易和航运业的领导者,中国在有效应对气候挑战方面具有举足轻重的作用。

  最后,祝愿大家春安。我期待未来在中国发展高层论坛上与大家会面。

  谢谢。

  Usually, the China Development Forum coincides with one of the first true spring weekends in Beijing. And I imagine that the weather is getting warmer, trees are having fresh leaves, that there is hope and anticipation in the air. Feelings of hope and anticipation are perhaps extra pronounced this year as vaccines are being rolled out and societies are making progress towards getting the pandemic under control. There is light to be seen at the end of what has been a very long tunnel.

  The pandemic has put the global trading system through its most dramatic test in 75 years. Other than protecting our people, my top priority during this crisis as CEO of A.P. Moller - Maersk has been to ensure that global logistics chains continue to work, so that businesses and people can trust their supply chains to do their work – first and foremost that medical supplies reach hospitals and food reaches kitchen tables, but also to minimize harm to our economies and livelihoods. The COVID-19 pandemic has been a litmus test of the robustness of global supply chains. 

  Throughout the COVID-19 crisis global supply chains have remained open: Our container ships have continued to sail, our ports and warehouses have continued to operate, and trucks have delivered goods to distribution and fulfillment centers. COVID-19 has shown that our countries, businesses, and societies are capable of huge and coordinated action. As the world turns from crisis management to recovery mode, trade will be an essential driver. During the past half century, growth in trade has coincided with unparalleled social progress and wealth creation. Wherever you live, chances are that your wealth is closely tied to how much and how well your country trades. Also this time, trade will be an indispensable tool towards nursing the world back to economic health. However, to make trade work for the recovery, we must apply this same determination and cohesion to three overriding priorities. 

  We must set trade free to rebuild economies. Protectionism is equivalent to raising taxes on consumers and producers, which is the last thing the recovery needs. 

  We must restore trust in open trade. The perception that the benefits of trade are not fairly distributed within and between countries is a root cause of protectionism. But protectionism will only reduce the total wealth that can be distributed. To drive sustained recovery and economic growth, we need to restore a rules-based trading system which all participants have to commit to.  

  We must build resilience in global supply chains. Covid-19 has reminded us that global supply chains are a critical piece of our shared economic infrastructure.As an industry leader I feel strongly that this responsibility requires close dialogue with customers, industry partners, national governments and multilateral organizations. 

  On a final note, we must remember that other big challenges are awaiting us post COVID-19, for example climate change. In Maersk we have an ambition to become carbon neutral by 2050. Indeed we will, in only a few months, place our first order for our first zero carbon enabled vessel. But the challenges that we face today on climate change are global and cannot be solved by one country or one company alone. Decarbonizing transport chains and the related energy value chains demand close collaboration and deliberate collective action from shipping companies, logistics providers, researchers, technology developers, consumers, and legislators to transform the industry and move away from fossil-based technology. China, as a globally-leading trading and maritime nation, will be a crucial partner towards ensuring that our industry will be able to respond effectively to the climate change challenge.

  I wish you all a wonderful spring and I will be looking forward to meeting you all at a coming China Development Forum.

  Thank you.
