Serving Businesses

To provide better services to businesses, the CBD has created an alliance of office building operators and is offering training sessions for building managers, according to the CBD's administrative committee.

The CBD also provides tailor-made service packages to more than 40 key enterprises such as Toyota China and Shell China. These packages include customized solutions to specific problems and "green channel" services.

The CBD's administrative committee also visits companies on a regular basis to learn about their needs. In 2019, the committee toured more than 800 companies.

"Since locating our operations in the CBD, we have been able to feel an improvement," an executive of Canon China told Beijing Daily.

"In addition to the helpful service packages and green channel services, those regular visits have solved many practical problems for us and have greatly supported our growth," the executive said.

An important aspect of serving companies is serving their people. In collaboration with education consultancies, such as the Penn Wharton China Center and Yale Center Beijing, the CBD regularly holds lectures and talks for CBD-based professionals to help them stay on top of the latest developments in the economy and technology.

The CBD's administrative committee is also working to increase workers' access to public rental housing and joint-ownership homes to shorten their commute.
