              THE BEIJING AXIS AT THE HIGHEST LEVEL


                            3 Synergistic Cross-Border China Businesses

            THE BEIJING AXIS is a cross-border business bridge to/from China in three principal
            areas: Strategy, Sourcing and Investment.

            Since our establishment in 2002, we have successfully worked with many international and
            Chinese MNC clients across various sectors and industries, but our core focus is on the
            Chinese mining and resources sector, and on China’s burgeoning industrial and engineering
            sector. Our work is always cross-border — supporting international firms as they act in
            unfamiliar territory in China, or supporting Chinese firms as they venture out and go global.
            We are committed to safety and sustainability; and our solutions emphasize 'actions and
            transactions’.

            THE BEIJING AXIS is organised along 3 synergistic cross-border China businesses: the
            China Strategy Group, China Sourcing Unit and China Capital Advisors.
