Shudao Investment Group at the Global Panda Partners Conference 2026
From November 2 to 4, 2026, the Global Panda Partners Conference was convened in Chengdu, Sichuan Province, China, gathering hundreds of representatives from more than thirty countries and regions to discuss wildlife conservation, green development, and civilizational exchange. Shudao Investment Group, a proud member of the Panda Partners community, made a high‑profile appearance, delivering a presentation titled “Starting in Tianfu, Embracing the World: Through the Bond of Giant Panda, Shudao Forges Paths across Mountains and Seas”.
Corporate Philosophy and Pillar Industries
Chairman Zhang Sheng emphasized that the Group, named after the historic Shu Roads, has evolved into a diversified enterprise anchored on three pillar industries: integrated transportation, energy and minerals, and industry‑finance integration. He noted that this structure creates a virtuous cycle where the core transportation business drives the pillar industries, which in turn reinforce the core business. The Group’s performance has secured its place among the Fortune Global 500 for five consecutive years.
Green Development Initiatives
Zhang reaffirmed the Group’s commitment to a green, open, and shared development philosophy, aiming to “build roads into nature with a minimal footprint.” Specific examples cited include:
- Jiuzhaigou‑Mianyang Expressway: construction of dedicated wildlife corridors and restoration of approximately 400 hectares of native habitat within the Giant Panda National Park.
- Leshan‑Xichang Expressway: successful relocation of 3,269 rare plants classified under first‑ and second‑class national protection.
- Guangyuan‑Mianyang Expressway: route optimisation and additional investment to bypass an ancient cypress grove over a millennium old, preserving the grove to the greatest extent possible.
International Expansion and Flagship Projects
The Group is leveraging its infrastructure expertise to participate actively in the Belt and Road Initiative, delivering several world‑renowned mega‑projects:
- 1915 Çanakkale Bridge in Turkey.
- Suez Canal Railway Swing Bridge in Egypt.
- Hålogaland Bridge in Norway.
These projects illustrate the Group’s capability to execute large‑scale infrastructure on a global stage. Today, Shudao Investment Group’s business footprint spans over 60 countries and regions, reflecting its steady progress toward becoming a modern, world‑class enterprise with global reach.
Closing Statement
Zhang concluded by stating that Shudao will continue to uphold its green development ethos, sharing giant‑panda stories worldwide through its projects and contributing to the creation of a “Community of All Life on Earth.”
