在全球可持续发展的浪潮中，真正的领导者不仅响应时代的号召，更以超前的视野和坚定的信念走在时代前沿。杭州中艺实业股份有限公司董事长李韧，正是这样一位以责任感和对社会的热爱为驱动的企业家。2024年11月14日，在第十一届亚洲企业卓越与可持续发展奖（ACES Awards）颁奖典礼上，李韧荣获“负责任商业领袖”奖，这不仅是对他个人成就的认可，更是对他多年坚持可持续发展的高度赞誉。
In the wave of global sustainability, true leaders are those who not only respond to the call of the times but also forge ahead with visionary insight and unwavering commitment. Ren Li, Chairman of Letright Industrial Co., Ltd., exemplifies such leadership, driven by a deep sense of responsibility and a passion for societal well-being. On November 14, 2024, at the 11th Asia Corporate Excellence & Sustainability (ACES) Awards, Ren Li was honored with the “Responsible Business Leader” award, acknowledging not only his personal achievements but also his steadfast dedication to sustainable development over the years.
李韧的环保之路始于2001年，他凭借常识、本能和发自内心的责任感，果断停止了木制庭院伞的生产。尽管当时市场上其他户外家具公司仍大量使用木材，李韧坚信，即使影响力有限，也要“不以善小而不为”。这一决定并非源于外部压力，而是出于对地球的热爱和对社会的责任感。这一举措甚至早于2015年签署的巴黎协定，李韧用实际行动证明，真正的可持续发展源自内心深处的信念，而非政府的倡导。
Ren Li's journey in environmental stewardship began in 2001 when he made the bold decision to cease production of wooden patio umbrellas. At a time when other outdoor furniture companies heavily relied on wood, Ren Li believed in the principle of " every positive action, no matter how small, contributes to a larger impact." This decision was driven not by external pressures but by a genuine love for the planet and a sense of social responsibility. Remarkably, this initiative predated the 2015 Paris Agreement, demonstrating that true sustainability stems from internal conviction rather than governmental mandates.
在李韧的带领下，中艺股份不断创新。从2001年大规模生产太阳能灯，淘汰耗电的低压灯，到2007年推出环保的木纹效果PS条材料，进一步减少木材使用，再到2016年运用热转印技术满足消费者对木纹的喜爱，这些仿木纹效果甚至比真正木材更优质：没有结疤，不需抛光，免去日常维护。这些创新不仅实现了商业成功与可持续发展的平衡，也提升了产品质量和市场竞争力。中艺股份始终站在环保技术的前沿，特别是2023年9月28日推出的全球首创的欧铂纳智能观景棚，不仅解决了传统户外生活“看老天爷脸色”的诸多挑战，还通过高效利用太阳能，在提升人类品质户外生活的同时，大幅减少了碳排放，为全球可持续发展贡献了重要力量。
Under Ren Li's leadership, Letright Industrial Co., Ltd., has consistently embraced innovation. Starting in 2001 with the large-scale production of solar lights, which replaced energy-consuming low-voltage lighting, Letright continued to innovate with the introduction of environmentally friendly wood-effect materials called polywood in 2007, reducing the use of natural wood. By 2016, the company had adopted heat transfer technology to meet consumers' innate desire for wood aesthetics, offering products that surpass real wood in quality—free from knots, requiring no polishing, and needing minimal maintenance. These innovations have not only balanced commercial success with sustainability but have also enhanced product quality and market competitiveness. Letright Industrial remains at the forefront of environmental technology, particularly with the launch of the world’s first Solaryard Smart Pergola on September 28, 2023. This innovation addresses the challenges of traditional outdoor living by harnessing solar energy to significantly reduce carbon emissions, thus contributing substantially to global sustainability efforts.
欧铂纳智能观景棚的推出，彻底改变了人类户外生活的方式，让更多人365天随心所欲地享用自家的花园、草坪或楼顶的空中花园。对于那些拥有户外空间却一年有三分之二时间被闲置的餐厅或酒店而言，这一创新减少了对传统商业加热器的依赖，大幅节约了能源。通过太阳能驱动的空调制热，实现了负碳排放，给商家带来了前所未有的经济效益。对于政府文旅项目来说，改善了公共空间的游客体验，推动文旅经济的发展。这些成就不仅是李韧和团队奋斗的动力，也推动了中艺股份的业务增长。
The Solaryard Smart Pergola revolutionizes outdoor living, allowing people to enjoy their gardens, lawns, or rooftop spaces year-round. For restaurants and hotels with outdoor spaces that remain unused for much of the year, this innovation reduces reliance on traditional commercial heaters, drastically cutting energy consumption. By using solar-powered integrated air conditioning of Solaryard Smart Pergola, it achieves a negative carbon footprint, offering unprecedented economic benefits to businesses. For government cultural and tourism projects, this enhancement improves the visitor experience in public spaces and drives the growth of the cultural tourism economy. These achievements fuel Ren Li and his team's relentless drive and have propelled Letright Industrial Co., Ltd.'s growth.
李韧坚信，未来的商业世界不仅需要创新的产品，更需要负责任和有担当的企业家。他强调，尽管我们来自不同的行业和背景，但我们都在为同一个地球贡献力量。中艺股份的使命始终如一：让生活场景更美好，让心境更愉悦。
Ren Li firmly believes that the future of the business world requires not only innovative products but also responsible and committed entrepreneurs. He emphasizes that, Though we may come from different industries and backgrounds, we are all contributing to the same planet. I am very happy to be one of the many companies making a difference. Letright Industrial Co.,Ltd.'s mission is clear: Better Outdoor Living, Happier Human Being.
在演讲里，李韧表达了对团队、家人及ACES平台的感谢。他呼吁更多企业加入可持续发展的行列，以实际行动引领变革，为全球商业和环境的未来共同努力。
In his speech, Ren Li expressed gratitude to his team, family, and the ACES platform. He urged more companies to join the sustainability movement and take concrete actions to lead change, working together for the future of global business and the environment.
李韧的成功故事不仅激励了无数企业家，也为行业树立了新的标杆。让我们期待他继续引领绿色潮流，共同致力于绿色发展、循环发展、低碳发展，努力实现生态效益和经营效益的双赢，为全球可持续发展事业书写更加辉煌的篇章！
Ren Li's success story not only inspires countless entrepreneurs but also sets a new benchmark for the industry. We look forward to his continued leadership in the green movement, as he remains dedicated to sustainable, circular, and low-carbon development, striving to achieve a win-win for ecological and economic benefits, and to write an even more brilliant chapter in the global sustainability narrative.
