For dredging, the Group avoided fertilization period of major aquatic life to protect the reproduction of natural organisms. The Group strengthened supervision during construction and set up anti-pollution barriers around the construction sites and prohibited construction waste water and rubbish from being directly discharged into water so as to prevent pollution of the surrounding ecological environment. The Group also formulated emergency proposals for oil spillage accidents and take preventive measures accordingly so as to reduce the impact of its project construction and operation on the marine ecological environment. In Brazil, the Group launched projects and environmental regulations such as Training on Land Administration for Nhande Kya Ethnicity, Regulation on Flora and Fauna Ecosystem for Mymba Ethnicity to help local residents raise their awareness of protecting ecological resources and encourage and guide residents in 9 surrounding communities to carry out waste sorting. Residents can contact TCP Participações S.A. (regularly each month) or local recycling associations (irregularly) to replace sorted waste with food and sanitation supplies in order to promote positive development of the ecological environment of the community. TO JOINTLY DRAW A GREEN PICTURE The Group actively promoted the building of green supply chain by organizing environmental protection activities to advocate the principle of green development and promote the green development approach, thereby facilitating sustainable development of enterprises and the community. Green Supply Chain The Group has formulated the Implementation Rules for Supplier Administration ( 《供應商管理實施細則》 ) to standardize the management of civilization and environmental protection construction of suppliers, which requires the suppliers to strictly conduct civilized construction of projects with no valid complaints, as well as formulate and effectively implement measures to prevent pollution at construction sites so as to ensure a sound construction site environment, at the same time encouraging the suppliers to pragmatically fulfill their environmental protection responsibility. The Group also integrated the requirements for sustainable development into the entire procurement processes of the headquarters and subsidiaries, including supplier certification, product selection, procurement execution, supplier exit, etc. so as to encourage the suppliers to continuously improve their performance of obligations and hence building a green supply chain for port operation with concerted efforts. Green communication and cooperation The Group participated in community communication for green development to convey green principles to various groups such as partners and the general public in an effort to create more green values.
