Jointly promoted by China Council for the Promotion of International Trade Commercial Sub-Council (CCPIT CSC) and the Organization for Trade Development and Standards Cooperation (ODCCN), the release ceremony of the international standard ODCCN/PAS 1:2025 on guidance for humane entrepreneurship was held in Seoul, South Korea.

Experts from renowned universities shared their understanding of people-oriented entrepreneurial practices and local experiences. Representatives from 14 countries including China, South Korea, Malaysia, Indonesia, Myanmar, Tajikistan, the United Kingdom, Germany, Hungary, Slovenia, Latvia, Belarus, Ukraine and Argentina attended the event in hybrid forms.

The standard proposes the 10E model for humane entrepreneurship to build broad global consensus in the field of humane entrepreneurship and lay the foundation for the development of subsequent series of international standards.

ODCCN/PAS 1:2025 emphasizes the synergy between entrepreneurial orientation and people orientation, and promotes the formation of a virtuous cycle where “employee engagement promotes innovation, and innovation achievements nourish engagement”. The standard is applicable to organizations of different types and sizes, and is tailored to the trends of increasing global economic uncertainty, accelerated technological iteration, and continuous changes in the labor force structure. It can help entrepreneurs and managers to enhance organizational vitality and sustainable competitiveness.

The CCPIT CSC will continue to deepen international standardization cooperation and exchanges, standards publicity and training, and case promotion. Leveraging the achievements of the Northeast Asia standards cooperation project and the technical framework of ODCCN/PAS 1:2025, it will promote the humane entrepreneurship concept to be applied globally, and contribute standardization efforts to promoting inclusiveness, resilience and high-quality growth.
