Recently, at the "2023 Environmental, Social and Corporate Governance Exchange Conference of Listed Companies" hosted by China and co-organized by Guoxin Consulting, Originwater was successfully selected as the "2023 ESG Pioneer Practitioner Case of Listed Companies" and won the title of "ESG Pioneer Practitioner" by virtue of its outstanding performance in fulfilling social responsibilities and practicing ESG concepts.
Under the wave of the "dual carbon" strategy, ESG development has received extensive attention from all walks of life. On the one hand, regulatory policies have followed up quickly, and new requirements have been put forward for enterprises to implement ESG concepts: the Ministry of Environment has stipulated that key enterprises should disclose information in accordance with the law, and the information disclosure has been refined to four qualitative and quantitative indicators; **The State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission (SASAC) formulated and issued the "Work Plan for Improving the Quality of Listed Companies Controlled by Central Enterprises", proposing to "strive to achieve full coverage" of special report disclosure by 2023 for listed companies controlled by central enterprises. On the other hand, the financial market is actively embracing the concept of ESG, and more and more investors are using ESG as a measure of corporate sustainability and incorporating it into their investment decisions.
As a listed company controlled by central enterprises, Originwater has been committed to promoting the construction of a green and low-carbon circular development system, actively focusing on the direction of green and low-carbon circular development, continuously strengthening innovation capabilities, accelerating the formation of a green and low-carbon modern industrial system, and developing green and low-carbon sewage resource technology in line with China's "double carbon" strategic goals, as well as a series of innovative products and technologies such as new high-efficiency membrane products and industrial wastewater comprehensive treatment processes, by breaking through technical bottlenecks, reducing operating energy consumption, reducing resource waste and environmental pollution. It will better serve the strategy of "sewage recycling, industrial zero discharge", and at the same time lead the transformation of China's traditional membrane manufacturing industry to the direction of "green and intelligent manufacturing".
In the future, Originwater will continue to deeply practice the ESG concept, continuously summarize ESG practical experience, actively improve the level of ESG governance, help the company achieve high-quality and sustainable development, further enhance the confidence of the public and stakeholders in the sustainable development of the company, and continuously promote the overall improvement of economic performance, governance performance, environmental performance and social performance.
