Environmental Protection, Energy Conservation and Sustainable Development
In an active effort to fulfill its social responsibility, the Company has completed the transition from post-action treatment to source and process control by combining clean production, emission reduction and environmental management, thus eliminating the public concerns on energy, resources and water consumption.

The Company has set environmental protection targets for pollution reduction and emission control in compliance with the Environmental Protection Law, the Air Pollution Prevention and Control Law, the Water Pollution Prevention and Control Law, the Production Safety Law and other relevant laws and regulations. We carry out rigorous assessment on environmental pollution, energy consumption, comprehensive utilization of resources, production safety, product safety and other issues arising from production, services and operation process, and accordingly, develop a set of indicators and work on improvement measures. The Company constantly improves its environmental protection system to keep environmental quality under tight control.

The Company has obtained the ISO14001 certification, developed an accountability system for production targets and introduced a work performance appraisal system to minimize the man-made waste of resources and pollutant discharge. For energy utilization, the Company has adopted processes featuring new energy saving methods to save production costs and increase economic efficiency. We strengthen detection and monitoring of major hazards, and take effective control and treatment measures to reduce hazard level over years and eliminate public concerns on safety.

To enhance employees' awareness of environmental protection, the Company actively organizes them to learn environmental knowledge and advocates water and energy conservation across the Company by choosing to use energy-efficient and low-emission office equipment, promoting paperless office, recycling waste papers and introducing online electronic tools. The Company plays an active role in environmental protection by strictly implementing the requirements under the "plastic bag restriction" decree in the retail end. To this end, we charge a fee for offering plastic bags with national quality standards or provide paper shopping bags for free, thereby enhancing consumers' environmental awareness.
