From Protecting Ecosystems to Supporting Public Safety: OMODA & JAECOO Creates Local Value Through Global Community Initiatives

Oct 16, 2026

Wuhu​​, October 16, 2026 -- As automotive brands expand globally, globalisation is about more than the number of markets they enter or users they serve. It is also about becoming part of local society and creating lasting value for communities. As OMODA & JAECOO continues to expand its global presence, it is turning its commitment to social responsibility into concrete action. From ecosystem conservation along Spain’s Mediterranean coast and water rescue support along Poland’s coastline to children’s education in Vietnam and disaster relief in Thailand, the brand is responding to the specific needs of each market. Working with international non-profit organisations and local partners, OMODA & JAECOO is connecting global resources with local action, exploring ways for brand growth and social value to advance together.

A Global Perspective with Local Engagement to Meet Conservation Needs

In Spain, Posidonia oceanica seagrass meadows in the Mediterranean Sea are vital ecosystems that sustain marine biodiversity. Since 2024, Chery Group has partnered with the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) on the 'Cherish the Nature' initiative. In 2025, OMODA & JAECOO and the IUCN Centre for Mediterranean Cooperation (IUCN Med) launched a targeted collaboration in Cabo de Gata, Spain, to protect Posidonia oceanica and build coastal resilience.

Key actions include the installation of ecological mooring systems, the development of co-management agreements, and the introduction of blue financing mechanisms. The project also prioritizes education through awareness campaigns and training workshops for local associations.

Local engagement remains a core pillar of the initiative. From 2025 to 2026, the project facilitated journalist immersion workshops and beach clean-ups with the support of volunteers, partners, and staff. This multi-stakeholder effort is led by IUCN Med and OMODA & JAECOO, working alongside the Andalusian Regional Ministry of Sustainability and Environment, the Cabo de Gata-Níjar Natural Park management team, and the Hombre y Territorio Association(HyT).

In 2026, this partnership expands its scope. IUCN, Chery Group, and the Malaysian Nature Society (MNS) jointly launched a two-year mangrove restoration project. With support from Chery Malaysia, OMODA, and JAECOO Malaysia, the partners will work to restore degraded mangrove ecosystems on the North-central Selangor Coast.

Protecting Communities Through Water Rescue and Disaster Relief

Social responsibility extends beyond the natural environment to practical support for public safety and community well-being. In June 2026, OMODA & JAECOO officially launched a partnership with Poland’s Water Volunteer Rescue Service (WOPR), handing over five specially equipped JAECOO 8 Super Hybrid vehicles on June 26 to support lifeguard patrols, the deployment of rescue personnel and emergency response operations. The partners are also working together to promote public education on water safety. By matching its vehicle technologies with the needs of professional rescue operations, the brand is providing tangible support for local public safety.

In Thailand, following severe flooding in the south of the country in late 2025, OMODA & JAECOO joined Chery Group in donating THB 1 million to the Thai Red Cross Society to support emergency relief and recovery in affected areas, particularly Hat Yai District in Songkhla Province. This practical response to local needs reflects the brand’s commitment to community well-being.

Investing in Education to Support the Next Generation

Social responsibility is about both present needs and opportunities for the next generation. Building on its initial contribution of US$ 6 million for 2023-2025, Chery Group has pledged an additional US$ 6 million to further support UNICEF’s education programmes, both globally and with dedicated support to China, Mexico, South Africa, Türkiye, Indonesia, and Viet Nam. In January 2026, OMODA & JAECOO announced this three-year education partnership with UNICEF Viet Nam under the “Empower Futures” initiative. The partnership focuses on inclusive and innovative education, digital, transferable and green skills development, adolescent mental health and well-being, and supporting young people's transition from school to employment.

The partnership places greater emphasis on sustained investment in education and capacity building than on short-term assistance. By bringing together UNICEF's expertise, local education authorities and the brand's support for innovation, it aims to expand access to learning and skills development, particularly for disadvantaged children and adolescents, helping prepare the next generation for a rapidly changing world.

Creating Lasting Social Value Through Global Responsibility and Collaboration

From championing marine conservation in Spain and Malaysia to providing water rescue support in Poland, and from advancing children’s education in Vietnam to delivering disaster relief in Thailand, OMODA & JAECOO is addressing the needs of different markets through a range of community initiatives, embedding social responsibility into its global development.

The same commitment to meaningful engagement and shared value will continue to shape the brand's global user relationships. From October 18 to 24, OMODA & JAECOO will host the 2026 OMODA & JAECOO International User Summit in Wuhu, China, bringing together users, media and ecosystem partners from around the world. The summit will provide a platform for global users and partners to exchange ideas, share experiences and explore new possibilities for co-creation across technology, mobility and lifestyles. From community initiatives around the world to closer collaboration within its global user ecosystem, OMODA & JAECOO will continue to work with local communities and global partners to create lasting social value as the brand grows.

‘Passing down of the torch’ to young Asian Games winners bodes well for Hong Kong: John Lee

Hong Kong’s athletes were praised for producing “a beautiful harvest of medals” at this year’s Asian Games, and the success of the delegation’s younger members bode well for the future, the city’s leader said on Monday. A first tennis, a rugby sevens three-peat, combined with success on the water, in the pool, and on the squash court all led to a historic tally of 54 medals and a record number of gold over a fortnight in Japan. While the rise of the city’s younger athletes was in many ways a...

Total turnover rise pleases Jockey Club as host of Australian gallopers eye HKIR

A decline in local turnover might have given Jockey Club boss Winfried Engelbrecht-Bresges cause for concern to start the season, but a surge in wagering on overseas races has helped boost total turnover to a healthy figure. After 13 of 88 local meetings, total turnover on local and overseas races was up 12.5 per cent on last year to HK$24.8 billion. In his CEO blog published on the Jockey Club website before Sunday’s Sha Tin meeting, Engelbrecht-Bresges said wagering on Hong Kong racing was...

David Hayes backs Bustling City to bounce back from shock $1.4 defeat last start

Bustling City was one of two shock beaten favourites for David Hayes on one weekend, but the Australian Hall of Fame trainer is adamant the horse he declared “could be the new dirt king in Hong Kong” will bounce back on Wednesday night. Adding to the pain of Ka Ying Rising’s narrow The Everest (1,200m) defeat at Randwick on October 17, Bustling City was sent off the $1.4 favourite the following day at Sha Tin but couldn’t back up his explosive seven-length victory on his seasonal return.

Loud cheers, thumping bass lines, flashing court lights and the crisp pop of plastic paddles filled Kai Tak Arena on Sunday as Asia’s largest professional pickleball tournament reached a festive climax. Moving beyond the quiet formality of traditional court sports, finals day at the Hang Seng Bank Hong Kong Slam 2026, which drew a crowd of more than 2,000 spectators, felt more like a block party than a high-stakes championship, bringing fans within arm’s reach of the world’s elite players.
