Chinese Stationery reaches new level

Under the theme of « Asia in the Changing World: Towards a Shared Future », the Boao Forum for Asia (BFA) Annual Conference 2025 was held in Hainan, China on March 27th. Shanghai M&G Stationery Inc. (M&G, stock symbol 603899) has served as the forum’s official stationery supplier since 2005. As part of this partnership, M&G offers top-quality office supplies and sustainable stationery products for the forum.

In response to the call for low-carbon transformation, M&G prepared eco-friendly stationery kits for the attendees. The barrel of the gel pen was made of polylactic acid (PLA), fermented from corn and other starch-containing biomass.

The paper used was certified by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC).
