Recently, Yangtze Optical Fibre and Cable Joint Stock Limited Company (YOFC) (Stock Code: 601869.SH, 06869.HK) celebrated the successful conclusion of its second Global Leadership Development Program 1 (GLDP1). Twenty-three frontline leaders from nine countries gathered in Wuhan to embark on a transformative journey of growth that transcended cultural and national boundaries.

From the banks of the Yangtze River to the global stage, YOFC's 38-year history is a testament to perseverance, fueled by talent and driven by innovation. Since launching its internationalization strategy in 2014, YOFC has established nine major production bases across seven countries: Indonesia, Thailand, South Africa, Brazil, Poland, Germany, and Mexico. With operations in over 100 countries and regions, our overseas revenue share continues to rise. As this global footprint expands, ensuring that managers from diverse cultural backgrounds achieve operational synergy and move in unison has become a strategic priority in YOFC's journey toward becoming a world-class enterprise.
The GLDP1 program is YOFC's strategic response to this challenge. By bringing together frontline leaders from nine countries, the program created a platform for exchanging market-specific expertise and management insights. The initiative is dedicated to establishing a shared management language and mindset, ensuring that YOFC's core values—"Customer, Accountability, Integrity, Innovation, and Win-win"—take root and flourish across all international teams.
Talent is the engine of sustainable development. Through internal training, continuing education, and international secondments, YOFC empowers every employee to reach their full potential. GLDP1 is a vivid embodiment of this philosophy—serving not only as an accelerator for leadership excellence but also as a vital vehicle for global cultural integration and organizational capacity building.
For 38 years, YOFC has led the industry through talent and innovation, expanding its footprint across every continent. Today, as 23 leaders from nine countries gather in Wuhan, their diverse backgrounds converge under a single mission: Smart Link Better Life—connecting every corner of the world with optical fibre and enriching lives through intelligent connectivity.
