To tackle Chint Group’s twin imperatives of cultural evolution and digital agility, CDP Group launched the Tai You Fan digital cultural platform. Spanning tens of thousands of employees across the organisation, the platform weaves the company’s developmental DNA with its core values. Built on the pillars of integrated unity, scenario-driven enablement, operational synergy, and value consolidation, it fosters a multi‑dimensional, cohesive cultural ecosystem and generates a wide array of practical application contexts. In doing so, the platform drives a fundamental cultural transformation—replacing top‑down messaging with vibrant two‑way interaction, and converting abstract corporate ideals into concrete, day‑to‑day realities.

I. The Challenges of Cultural Development in a Global Enterprise with Tens of Thousands of Employees: Four Major Barriers Hindering the Realization of Cultural Value

Founded in 1984, Chint Group is a globally recognised provider of smart energy system solutions. With a presence in over 140 countries and regions and tens of thousands of employees worldwide, it ranks among China’s Top 500 Enterprises. Over decades of growth, the company has built a comprehensive corporate culture system spanning operations, systems, knowledge, management, and philosophy. Leveraging the Digital China initiative and its designation as a pilot unit for Digital Zhejiang, Chint has completed digital transformation across R&D, manufacturing, and human resources. As this transformation extends into corporate culture, the company faces a new challenge: how to turn abstract cultural concepts into tangible actions that all employees can perceive, engage with, and practise. In response, Chint partnered with CDP Group to launch Tai You Fan, a dedicated digital cultural platform. Through integrated, scenario‑based, and interactive digital tools, the platform brings culture out of the handbook and into daily work, making values visible, communicable, and actionable. This initiative has set a benchmark for successful cultural digitisation in large manufacturing enterprises.

1. Fragmented Communication Channels: Difficulty in Coordinating and Integrating Cultural Resources

The Party, Trade Union and Youth League organizations, the Public Welfare Foundation, the Human Resources Department and various business divisions all play a role in cultural development. However, their cultural activities and promotional content are scattered across different offline channels and fragmented online platforms, lacking a unified, group-wide digital communication platform. This fragmentation prevents the Group's core cultural values from achieving a unified voice, whilst employees must switch between multiple channels to access cultural information, significantly reducing communication efficiency.

2. Monotonous engagement formats, with passive employee participation and a lack of resonance

Traditional corporate culture building has primarily relied on "one-way communication", conveying concepts through cultural handbooks, offline meetings, posters and display boards, whilst lacking practical scenarios where employees can engage deeply and interact. Employees remain passive recipients of the culture, finding it difficult to truly integrate into the cultural development process. Consequently, cultural identification and implementation remain low, preventing the formation of a cohesive cultural atmosphere across the entire workforce.

3. Disconnect between culture and business operations, hindering conversion into practical driving force

There is insufficient integration between corporate culture and business operations, technological innovation, industrial development, and social responsibility. Core values such as "innovation, collaboration and accountability" have not been deeply embedded within frontline business scenarios. Cultural development remains confined to the level of ideological advocacy, failing to translate into tangible productivity that drives technological upgrades and industrial development, and making it difficult for employees to perceive the value of the culture in relation to their own work.

4. Lack of documentation of achievements; failure to replicate and promote best practices

Chint Group lacks a unified digital platform for documenting and disseminating internal innovation achievements, exemplary employee stories, and cultural practice cases. Consequently, outstanding cultural behaviours and practical experiences cannot be rapidly replicated and promoted across the Group, nor can they be incentivized and passed on through standardized methods. The outcomes of cultural development struggle to accumulate sustainably, preventing the formation of an iterative and upgradeable cultural development system.

In the digital age, Chint Group urgently requires an integrated digital cultural platform to break down the multiple barriers to traditional cultural development. This will enable the realization of cultural development objectives centered on "resource integration, full staff participation, business integration and the consolidation of achievements", thereby making corporate culture the core driving force behind the enterprise's high-quality development.

II. Tailored Digital Cultural Solutions: Building the ‘Tai You Fan’ Holistic Cultural Ecosystem

To address Chint Group's twin challenges of cultural development and digital transformation, CDP Group tailored the Tai You Fan digital cultural platform to the company's unique profile and cultural DNA. Covering tens of thousands of employees across the organisation, the platform is anchored in the principles of holistic integration, scenario-driven empowerment, business synergy, and value consolidation. It builds a multidimensional, integrated cultural ecosystem with a rich variety of operational scenarios, driving a fundamental cultural shift—from one-way communication to vibrant two‑way interaction, and from abstract ideals to concrete everyday practices.

1. Holistically Integrating Resources to Create a Unified Group Cultural Communication Hub

The platform breaks down cultural communication barriers between departments and business divisions, establishing a group-wide, integrated digital cultural communication hub that enables the centralized consolidation and efficient dissemination of cultural resources. It flexibly incorporates core sections such as "Tai News" and "Tai Honours", comprehensively supporting the Group's multi-dimensional needs—including cultural content, event promotion and recognition of achievements across various themes and business sectors. This allows employees to access the Group's cultural information via a single platform, thereby completely resolving the issue of fragmented communication channels. It also supports the customized creation of dedicated landing pages. For major cultural events such as the Group Cultural Season, Fun Sports Day and Book Sharing Sessions, bespoke online landing pages are developed to facilitate synchronized online and offline promotion, enhancing the interactivity and reach of these events and ensuring that the cultural atmosphere permeates every aspect of employees' work.

2. Creating Diverse Scenarios to Stimulate Internal Motivation for Cultural Participation

The platform replaces the conventional one‑size‑fits‑all approach with over 20 tailored cultural and business scenarios. It features distinctive interactive hubs—Tai Warmth, Tai Life, and Tai Learning—that shift employees from passive recipients to active participants and contributors, significantly boosting cultural engagement and a sense of belonging. Tai Learning offers an online space for knowledge sharing; through events like the Spring Festival Book Sharing Session, it fosters continuous learning and embodies the core value of humble learning in practice. Tai Warmth centres on employee well‑being, delivering diverse interactive experiences that reinforce belonging and happiness, turning culture into an emotional bridge between the company and its people. Tai Life blends personal life with corporate growth, offering warm, caring lifestyle services that embed culture into everyday routines and make it more accessible to all employees.

3. Deepening the Integration of Business and Culture to Achieve Mutual Empowerment Between Culture and Industrial Development

The platform closely aligns with the company's development strategy, deeply integrating corporate culture with core business areas such as technological innovation, social responsibility and industrial development. It establishes distinctive sections such as 'Tai Excellence' and 'Tai Charity', transforming cultural concepts into a practical driving force for business development and realizing a virtuous cycle where 'culture empowers business, and business showcases culture'. Centered on the corporate core value of "Innovation", we have launched the "Innovation Makes Me Shine" Three Gold Awards initiative, establishing an online platform for the evaluation of technical case studies. All employees across the Group can participate in voting and discussions to identify innovative achievements and nominate innovative talent, thereby fostering a strong atmosphere of technological innovation throughout the organization and injecting momentum into the Group's R&D and upgrading efforts. Leveraging the 'Tai Public Welfare' section, we will integrate Chint Group's public welfare initiatives and social responsibility practices into the cultural platform. Through public welfare campaigns and online participation, we will instill the core value of Responsibility throughout the organization. Simultaneously, by incorporating public welfare practices into the organizational culture and talent incentive system, we will reinforce the company’s social and cultural value. Using the "Chint Life" section as a bridge, the platform showcases organic products from the Group's ecosystem companies. This not only provides employees with healthy lifestyle choices but also allows them to gain a first-hand understanding of the Group's industrial layout, thereby supporting the Group's industrial development and achieving mutual empowerment between cultural development and industrial growth.

4. Digitizing Achievements to Establish a Long-Term Cultural Heritage System

The platform facilitates the comprehensive digital archiving and standardized promotion of Chint Group's cultural development achievements, transforming exemplary cultural behaviours, innovative outcomes and practical case studies into a replicable and sustainable system. Outstanding technical case studies and the achievements of innovative talent from initiatives such as "Innovation Makes Me Shine" are digitally documented and disseminated across the Group, enabling excellent innovative practices to be rapidly implemented, replicated and promoted across all business sectors. The platform systematically documents the Group's various cultural activities, charitable initiatives and exemplary employee conduct, creating a comprehensive repository of corporate culture development achievements. This serves as a reference for the continuous optimization and iterative upgrading of the Group's cultural development, ensuring that the value of the corporate culture is continuously accumulated and elevated.

III. Remarkable Achievements in Cultural Digitalization: Establishing a Benchmark for Digital Cultural Development in Large Enterprises

Since its launch, the Tai You Fan digital cultural platform has achieved full coverage across tens of thousands of employees group‑wide. In its first year alone, it recorded over 200,000 visits, effectively addressing the digital challenges that large enterprises often face in corporate culture building. The platform has brought Chint’s corporate culture out of the handbook and deep into the frontline, delivering notable results across multiple dimensions.

1. Enhanced Cultural Communication Efficiency, Fostering Group-Wide Cultural Consensus

The platform has achieved the comprehensive integration and unified dissemination of Chint Group's cultural resources. Cultural activities and content across departments and business segments have created synergies, ensuring the Group's core cultural values are disseminated without exception throughout the organization. The creation of over 20 distinctive operational scenarios has driven deep integration between online and offline cultural activities, significantly boosting employee engagement and interaction. This has fostered a cultural atmosphere across the Group that is vibrant with innovation, imbued with a sense of well-being, and characterized by shared consensus among all staff.

2. Comprehensive Stimulation of an Innovative Atmosphere, Transforming Culture into a Driving Force for Development

Through corporate-culture integration initiatives, exemplified by the "Innovation Makes Me Shine" Three Gold Awards, the core value of innovation has been successfully translated into concrete actions by all staff. Innovation enthusiasm across the Group remains high, with outstanding technical case studies and innovative achievements emerging continuously. This has injected strong momentum into the company's technological R&D, product upgrades and enhanced market competitiveness, enabling corporate culture to truly become the core productive force driving the enterprise's innovative development.

3. Enhanced Cultural Identity Among Employees, Demonstrating Employer Brand Value

Since its launch, the Tai You Fan digital cultural platform has achieved full coverage across tens of thousands of employees group‑wide. Within its first year of operation, it recorded over 200,000 visits, effectively addressing the digital challenges that large enterprises often face in corporate culture development. This has enabled Chint’s corporate culture to move beyond the pages of manuals and take root on the front lines, delivering impressive outcomes across multiple dimensions.

4. Deepening the Practice of Social Responsibility, Elevating Corporate Brand Value

The implementation of the "Tai Public Welfare" initiative has deeply integrated Chint Group's social responsibility practices with its corporate culture, fully igniting the enthusiasm of all staff to participate in public welfare. This has not only brought the core value of responsibility to life on the front lines but has also further strengthened the company’s social image. Chint Group ranked first on the "2021 Top 100 Chinese Private Enterprises in Social Responsibility" list; the deep integration of its social responsibility practices with corporate culture development has become a key pillar supporting the continuous elevation of the company’s brand value.

IV. Conclusion: Industry Insights from Cultural Digitalization – Harnessing Digital Intelligence to Make Culture the Core Driving Force of Corporate Development
