On September 1st, the 11th Golden Qilin Gold Medal Secretary rankings were officially announced. In this highly anticipated selection, COSCO Shipping Development's Board Secretary Cai Lei earned prestigious recognition for his exceptional professional capabilities and outstanding work performance, receiving the 11th Golden Qilin Gold Medal Secretary Five-Year Merit Award.
As the "critical bridge" between listed companies and capital markets, board secretaries play multiple roles in corporate governance and development: they serve as "gatekeepers" for companies' compliant operations and "advisors" for capital strategy; they act as "spokespersons" for information disclosure and "architects" for investor relations. Upholding the mission of "finding A-share's best capital brand representatives," the Golden Qilin Gold Medal Secretary selection has been successfully held for eleven consecutive years, having selected over 900 outstanding gold medal secretaries, establishing itself as one of the industry's highly recognized and influential authoritative awards. This selection not only focuses on information disclosure quality and investor communication effectiveness, but also comprehensively evaluates contributions across multiple dimensions including corporate governance, ESG development, and capital operations.
An excellent board secretary can precisely convey company value in complex market environments, innovate communication methods above compliance baselines, and demonstrate corporate responsibility and commitment at critical moments. Through professional, transparent, and efficient communication, they build trust bridges between enterprises and investors, regulatory authorities, and media audiences, laying solid foundations for long-term stable corporate development.
Cai Lei, COSCO Shipping Development's board secretary who received the Golden Qilin Gold Medal Secretary title this year, represents an outstanding member of this professional group. This honor not only reflects his exceptional capabilities in capital communication, compliance governance, and strategic coordination, but also demonstrates the market and investors' high recognition of COSCO Shipping Development's governance standards and value growth.
