Energy and water are fundamental resources for pharmaceutical production and are also core topics in the Group's environmental management. Through the establishment of comprehensive energy and water resources management systems, quantitative targets and strengthened process control, we continuously improve resource efficiency and reduce the environmental impacts arising from operations. 7.2 Energy and Water Resources Management The United Laboratories treats energy management as an important lever for promoting low-carbon operations. In accordance with GB/T 23331-2020 / ISO 50001:2018, we have established the Energy Management System and operate an energy management system under the energy policy of “compliance and innovation, energy conservation and consumption reduction, cleaner production and continuous improvement”. Energy targets are fully integrated into production performance assessment. The Group implements a three-tier energy management structure at the company, department and team levels so as to ensure that energy responsibilities are clearly assigned and effectively implemented. 7.2.1 Energy management 43 “Four Systems” Supervision Audit and Re-certification of the Energy Management System In September 2025, an expert panel jointly formed by market regulation authorities and the municipal testing centre at the autonomous region and Bayannur city levels conducted a special review of the Group's energy metering practices. Based on relevant national standards and specifications, the panel examined 52 items covering metering compliance, energy metering management systems, metering instrument allocation and personnel qualifications. With the coordinated support of multiple departments, the Group comprehensively demonstrated the operation of its energy metering management system. Following the overall assessment, the expert panel confirmed that the Group had effectively fulfilled its principal responsibilities in energy metering management, and that its management level met the foundational requirements of the national dual carbon agenda. The Group therefore successfully passed the special review. Special Audit on Energy Metering In November 2025, six experts delegated by the Beijing Standard Certification Center conducted surveillance audits of the Group's quality, environmental, and occupational health and safety management systems, while simultaneously completing the re-certification of the energy management system. Based on the requirements of GB/T 19001-2016, GB/T 24001-2016, GB/T 45001-2020 and GB/T 23331-2020, the expert team conducted a comprehensive review through presentations, document review and on-site inspections. The experts fully recognised the Group's solid efforts in product quality control, environmental responsibility, employee health protection and energy efficiency enhancement. After five days of detailed review, the expert team formally concluded that the Company's “four systems” were operating compliantly and effectively, and the surveillance audit and re-certification were successfully passed.
