I have been to the power plant in Estonia and they are very sophisticated. However, this interests me more. The plants are tidy and clean, almost free from any pollution emission. They even plant their own vegetables and fresh fruits. I hope other countries could learn something from CR Power and contribute to a beautiful world.

Nowadays, the enterprise could not go very far without paying attention to the importance and engagement of employees. If they only see the business performance, they may ignore the development of employees. CR Power is doing very well in this aspect, and their employees have a very good sense of belonging.
