ESG Report 2025

36 Ongoing development of a green industrial campus: Tree-planting activities have long been a tradition of the Company. To date, more than 3,000 trees, including golden ash, golden elm, lilac, and flowering plum, along with over 6,000 hedge plants have been planted. The steadily increasing vegetation across the site not only enhances the environment but also continuously absorbs atmospheric carbon dioxide, contributing to climate change mitigation. In April 2025, the Group’s Party Committee and Administrative Department jointly organised over 80 Party members and volunteers from various branches to carry out a themed voluntary tree-planting activity. After a morning of dedicated work, more than 200 ash trees were planted across areas including the automated warehouse, quality inspection building, artificial lake, parking lot, and staff cafeteria. The newly planted saplings, neatly arranged and full of vitality, have added a vibrant touch of green to the campus in spring. 6.3.2 Adaptation Measures In view of the increasing frequency of extreme weather events and the long-term evolution of climate patterns, the Group has incorporated climate adaptation into the core of its operational management. It recognises that early planning and systematic response are critical to safeguarding production continuity and employee safety. Accordingly, the Group has established an end-to-end climate adaptation system covering pre-event warning, in-event response and post-event recovery across four dimensions: operational facility resilience, business continuity, supply chain resilience and health risk response. Resource Circularity and Recovery of Energy Potential Active participation in the national carbon market. The Company has completed account opening in the national carbon emissions registration and trading systems and has the capability to trade independently. Based on the accounting in accordance with the relevant documentation of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, the Inner Mongolia Company has acquired 53,683 tonnes of carbon emission allowances during the Reporting Period. The Group will closely monitor market conditions and complete compliance obligations through the national carbon market in a timely manner to ensure compliant operation. Establishment of a carbon asset management mechanism. Carbon allowances have been incorporated into the enterprise resource management system, with dedicated personnel responsible for policy tracking and market analysis. Going forward, the Group will further strengthen the professional management of carbon assets and optimise carbon costs through market-based mechanisms in preparation for sustainable development under medium- to long- term carbon constraints. Recovery and utilisation of biogas incineration waste heat. The Group's “hazardous waste incineration waste heat utilisation” project has been operating steadily. Biogas generated from the wastewater treatment process, with methane as the main component, is used in place of natural gas as the fuel for the incinerator, and an 8 t/h waste heat boiler is used to recover high-temperature flue gas waste heat. In the Year, the project utilised approximately 2.54 million cubic meters of biogas, equivalent to saving 1.27 million cubic meters of natural gas, achieving the dual benefits of waste-to-energy utilisation and fossil fuel substitution. Cascaded utilisation of waste heat resources. In addition to biogas recovery, the Group has also promoted projects such as condensate tank flash steam recovery and waste acid water heat recovery in certain workshops, recovering low-grade waste heat that would otherwise be discharged into the atmosphere and using it for material pre-heating or hot water production.
