In line with our commitment to supporting the national energy strategy, we respond to the national vision of achieving carbon neutrality by 2060, seek to achieve sustainable growth, and actively promote green production and develop low-carbon energy. In 2021, we implemented a number of green development projects, cooperated with Zhaoqing municipal government to carry out the “Gasification for Xijiang River” Cement LNG New Energy Tank Ship Transportation Project, further developed the hydrogen energy equipment businesses, striving to reduce carbon emissions. In addition, we stepped up environmental performance tracking and management, clarified management objectives, took control measures based on the degree of risk exposure, and made full efforts to reduce emissions.
CIMC Enric strongly supports technological innovation and research and development. We are committed to reducing resource consumption and environmental pollution by transforming development methods, gradually increasing our high-tech strengths and achieving economic benefits, thereby attaining intelligent, IT-based and circular development stepwise. We actively promoted the “Lighthouse Factory” development. In 2021, we resolved 13 technical problems in smart manufacturing of “Lighthouse”, and designed several “Lighthouse” Factory projects and multiple production line upgrading projects.
CIMC Enric strictly abides by the highest standards of business ethics. Anti-corruption is a priority for us. We are determined to prevent corruption on a comprehensive scale, with the management taken the lead in establishing a corporate culture of anti-corruption, self-discipline, integrity and good faith. We have provided 30 anti-corruption training sessions for directors and employees holding certain positions. We established an impartial, fair and efficient supply chain, implemented a transparent bidding process, and required suppliers to sign the Sunshine Cooperation Commitment Letter. At present, the signing rate of suppliers with a procurement scale of more than RMB200,000 has reached 100%, and other suppliers are gradually being covered. We pay due attention to health, safety and environment (HSE) issues, seeking to improve HSE performance to consolidate our competitive advantage.
The participation and support of all stakeholders, including employees, clients, investors, regulators, suppliers, research institutions, media and local communities, are indispensable to the sustainable development of CIMC. This year, the stakeholders have paid more attention to two ESG topics, namely the development and implementation of sustainable development strategy and employee safety and health, and we will elaborate on the related issues accordingly in this report. By maintaining communication with the stakeholders and share our insights with them on major sustainable development issues, we believe that CIMC Enric will continue to move forward toward sustainable development.
