No more lavish staff weddings or funerals for staff at oil giant Sinopec: Chinese authorities
A new directive states that the number of guests at the wedding or funeral of any middle-level or high-level Sinopec employee must be not exceed 150, the oil company’s official website reported
Staff at China’s state-owned oil giant Sinopec have been told to avoid staging lavish weddings and funerals.
The move is line with the ruling Communist party’s campaign to crack down on “extravagance and hedonism”.
A new directive states that the number of guests at the wedding or funeral of any middle-level or high-level Sinopec employee must be not exceed 150, the oil company’s official website reported last week.
“To oppose extravagance and waste and avoid any negative impact” the cost of banquets should be not be greater than local average levels, the directive says.
Supervisors, subordinates, clients or any work-related individuals or companies should not be invited to attend such events, while their gifts should not be accepted, it says.
The photographs posted online by spectators, which attracted national headlines, showed a fleet of 30 Rolls-Royce Phantoms taking guests to the 9,999 yuan-per table (HK$12,600) banquet in Tangshan, Hebei province.
