41 The United Laboratories firmly believes that corporate development and ecological protection are not a zero-sum game but a mutually reinforcing symbiosis. As a pharmaceutical manufacturing enterprise, we are fully aware of the potential environmental impact of our production operations. Therefore, we have always regarded environmental governance as the cornerstone of our sustainable development, adhering to the environmental policy of “Law Abidance and Integrity, Prevention and Control, Environmental Protection, Continuous Improvement, and Harmonious Development”, and integrating green concepts into every aspect of strategic decision-making, process innovation, and daily management. We strictly comply with all applicable environmental laws and regulations in the locations where we operate, and have established and continuously improved our environmental management system. Through systematic institutional building and rigorous implementation supervision, we ensure that all production and business activities are legal and compliant.
