To thoroughly implement the spirit of the CPC Central Committee’s Eight-point Decision on Improving Party and Government Conduct and to strengthen awareness of discipline and rules, On May 27, Jiao Sen, a member of the Party Committee of the Bureau (Group) and Chief Engineer, who oversees the Party and administrative work at the Shandong Institute, delivered a special Party lecture on discipline and law titled “Uphold the Red Line of Discipline and Forever Remain True to Our Original Aspiration in Geology.” He also conducted a collective integrity talk and a cautionary education session, sounding a disciplinary alarm for all Party members and cadres and injecting momentum for continued progress.

Closely focusing on the central theme of disciplinary development and taking into account the specific characteristics of the geological sector, Jiao Sen began by revisiting the spirit of the CPC Central Committee’s Eight‑Point Decision on Improving Party and Government Conduct. Drawing on recent notifications of typical cases in the geological system involving violations of this decision, he proceeded to carry out… Through cautionary education based on case studies, we conduct an in-depth analysis of the root causes underlying these cases—such as wavering ideals and convictions, weak disciplinary awareness, and inadequate oversight of power—reminding all Party members and cadres to remain constantly vigilant about discipline, uphold the bottom line, refrain from crossing red lines, and continuously strengthen discipline and work style.

Jiao Sen pointed out that China’s mineral resources sector is currently undergoing profound transformation and facing significant challenges. State-owned central enterprises in the geological exploration field shoulder the vital mission of safeguarding national energy and resource security and contributing to ecological civilization. All Party members and cadres are called upon, while upholding discipline and maintaining integrity, to act boldly, forge ahead with determination, and take proactive measures, thereby continuously advancing the high-quality development of the geological exploration sector.

Jiao Sen emphasized that, in the new era, geological exploration enterprises must act in tune with the prevailing trends and know when to take action and when to refrain. He led the team in analyzing the three major trends shaping China’s mineral resource landscape and, in light of the Shandong Institute’s current circumstances, identified the challenges and shortcomings hindering its high‑quality development. He underscored the urgent need to further emancipate the mind, deepen reform, and vigorously address developmental bottlenecks to unleash endogenous momentum. To gain a deeper understanding of the key tasks of reform, Drawing on his own learning experiences, Jiao Sen provided a systematic analysis of the implementation pathways for reforms in labor, personnel, and remuneration systems. He also explained the tenure system and contractual management for managerial-level personnel, as well as related initiatives to enhance the quality and expand the scope of these practices. proposed The guiding principle is to “draw vitality from reform and achieve efficiency through sound management.” He emphasized that by optimizing labor‑employment mechanisms, refining personnel selection systems, and strengthening compensation and incentive frameworks, enterprises can unleash their intrinsic momentum, and, with a tone of rigor, a pragmatic work style, and a spirit of bold innovation, drive continuous improvements in managerial effectiveness.

This special Party lecture on discipline and law, together with the collective integrity talk and cautionary education session, served both as a profound lesson in disciplinary awareness and a vivid call to action for reform. Moving forward, our institute will take this event as an opportunity to further strengthen discipline and work style, uniting and leading all Party members and cadres to… Guided by the original aspiration of “prospecting for minerals to serve the country,” we have deeply integrated disciplinary development with our core business, forged a robust work ethic through strict adherence to discipline, and risen to industry challenges with a sense of responsibility and proactive action, thereby fully advancing the enterprise’s strategic transformation and high-quality development.
