At the same time, I am so proud of Bosideng, so proud of the mountaineers, and so proud of China!"

With the improvement of Bosideng's down jacket on both fashion and function, new brand awareness has started to take root among more consumers, which has also helped Bosideng to win more honors and recognition. In April 2021, Brand Finance, one of the top five international brand value assessment authorities, announced its Brand Finance Apparel 50 2021, where Bosideng was included for the first time, becoming the only Chinese brand on the list. In August, Euromonitor International, the world influential research agency, officially released its certification report to credit Bosideng as a global leader in the down jacket market. This proves that Bosideng has gained leadership in the global market with a strong leading edge.

In recent years, Bosideng collaborated with a great number of top designers in the world, including Jean Paul Gaultier, a grand master in French haute couture and prêt-à-porter fashion design to launch popular and well-recognized co-branded collections. Furthermore, it was invited to land its show in three of the Big Four Fashion Week Calendars, including New York, London, and Milan, in three consecutive years, introducing Chinese brands to the international market. Currently, Bosideng has established its presence across the globe and become a favored choice by consumers in 72 countries, including the United States, France and Italy.

On top of industrial recognition, Bosideng stays true to its brand mission of "Warming the World" with a great sense of responsibility and commitment. In 2020, Bosideng donated 300 million down jackets to the front-line workers fighting against the pandemic, demonstrating the responsibility and strength of a national enterprise. In October 2021, the flood-hit areas in Shanxi Province suffered from a worsening impact of continued cold waves. Responding efficiently to the demand of fighting against the cold weather, Bosideng donated supplies and cash worth 50 million yuan to bring warmth and hope to the afflicted areas and support the flood control and reconstruction efforts. Bosideng's dedication to public welfare also makes its brand image closely associated with an outstanding national brand among consumers.

Looking in retrospect at the 45 years of brand development, Bosideng demonstrates a high level of professionalism, craftsmanship, and a strong devotion to its people and country. Moreover, it presents itself as a global down jacket leader, featured by innovative design, social responsibility, and support of national scientific research and expedition.
