38 6.4 Climate Metrics and Targets As a responsible enterprise, The United Laboratories actively promotes greenhouse gas emission reduction efforts. Relying on a detailed action plan, we provide crucial support for our reduction work, ensuring that various emission reduction measures can be implemented in an orderly manner and achieve tangible results. The Group closely aligns itself with the national "dual carbon" strategy (carbon peak by 2030 and carbon neutrality by 2060) and the "15th Five-Year Plan" deployment. The former represents China's core pathway for fulfilling its obligations under the Paris Agreement, while the latter provides important guidance for us in formulating phased action plans. Under this framework, we take the national carbon peak and carbon neutrality goals as the fundamental basis for developing our own climate action plan, ensuring that the Group's emission reduction pathway resonates with the national macro strategy. On this basis, the Group has systematically assessed the carbon emission status of its operations and formulated reduction and management targets aligned with national climate policy requirements. Although these targets have not yet been independently assured by a third party and were not set using sectoral decarbonisation methodologies, the Board will monitor progress annually and assess whether revisions are required in light of actual conditions. Meanwhile, the Group continues to improve its target-setting, data accounting and disclosure mechanisms to enhance the transparency and credibility of its decarbonisation actions. In terms of our emission reduction pathway, the Group focuses on achieving substantial decarbonisation through energy efficiency improvement, energy substitution, and process optimisation, taking energy-saving technological retrofits, green electricity application, and circular economy as core levers. It is worth noting that the Group participates in the national carbon emissions trading scheme in accordance with national policy requirements, and the purchase of carbon allowances is primarily intended to meet annual compliance obligations, rather than serving as the main means to offset its own operational emissions or achieve carbon neutrality. The Group has actively participated in and complied with the national carbon emissions trading scheme for six consecutive years. During the Reporting Period, we purchased 53,683 tonnes of carbon allowances and fulfilled our compliance obligations on schedule. We will continue to monitor the development of carbon market mechanisms and voluntary emission reduction policies, so as to use them as supplementary support for achieving our long-term carbon neutrality goals at an appropriate time in the future. The specific targets are as follows: Target Category Energy Management Water Management Target Description GHG Emissions Waste Management Ecological Protection Carbon Assets and Market Mechanisms Taking 2025 as the base year, reduce total greenhouse gas emission intensity (emissions per tonne of product) by 17% by 2030 (covering Scope 1, Scope 2 and Scope 3). Taking product) by 5% by 2030. Increase the proportion of green electricity use year by year by 2030. 2025 as the base year, reduce energy consumption intensity (energy use per tonne of Taking consumption per tonne of product) by 2030. Maintain 100% compliant treatment and reuse of production wastewater. 2025 as the base year, steadily reduce production water consumption intensity (water In 2026, hazardous waste intensity (generation per tonne of product) shall not exceed 8.5 tonnes. Continue to carry out ecological protection activities such as afforestation to enhance carbon sink capacity. Continue to support and comply with the national carbon emissions trading scheme. Health protection under high-temperature: During hot summer weather, the Company provides heatstroke prevention and cooling supplies to outdoor workers and adjusts working hours to avoid peak heat periods. Each workshop is equipped with first-aid kits, and regular training on heatstroke prevention and cooling knowledge is organised to enhance employees' self-protection awareness and emergency self-rescue capabilities. Health protection under extreme cold weather: Before winter arrives, the Company issues cold-protection personal protective equipmen to outdoor workers and conducts warmth checks on living facilities such as employee dormitories and commuter vehicles. At the same time, winter safety training is strengthened to remind employees of traffic accident risks caused by icy roads, ensuring their commuting safety. Occupational health monitoring: The Group organises health check-ups for employees every year and establishes health records. In response to potential changes in disease patterns induced by climate change, we continuously monitor employee health conditions and adjust health management strategies in a timely manner, ensuring that employees are in optimal condition to perform their duties.
