Water Conservation
Source Management
We analyze the current exploitation of water resources, the rationality of water usage,
potential impacts, and protective measures in our operational regions, taking
reasonable water extraction measures post-assessment. Continuous monitoring of
water use risks and emergency planning are conducted to ensure water resources
can support our long-term growth. In 2023, our fresh water extraction amounted to
approximately 928,200 tons.
Water Conservation and Discharge Reduction
We segregate wastewater into industrial and domestic categories, each treated
accordingly. Industrial wastewater, mainly from production line cooling, equipment
cleaning, and floor maintenance, is fully recycled when possible, with non-recyclable
wastewater treated to meet standards before discharge. Domestic wastewater is
disposed of through municipal sewage networks. In 2023, we discharged
approximately 266,000 tons of wastewater.
Water Conservation Case: Recirculating Water Quality Control to Reduce Wastewater
Previously, our cooling tower open-loop recirculating system had high water
consumption, with scaling from calcium and magnesium ions, as well as bacteria and
algae growth affecting cooling exchange and corroding pipes. We addressed this by
using softened water for make-up and controlling conductivity, which reduced scaling
and wastewater discharge, saving water.
Product Innovation
Leveraging our capabilities in high-polymer material research and manufacturing, we
developed a range of membrane support fabrics for water purification with various
weights, thicknesses, and permeabilities. These materials, used for reverse osmosis,
nanofiltration, ultrafiltration, and microfiltration membranes, are widely applied in
seawater desalination, industrial pure water production, municipal and industrial
wastewater treatment, and household water purification, fundamentally enhancing
the utilization and protection of water resources.

Response to Climate Change
The main energy consumed in our production process is
electricity, and in 2023 we consumed about 512 million kWh.
By the end of 2023, we have 37.59MW photovoltaic power
stations, which is equivalent to a reduction of 45,000 tons of
carbon dioxide emissions through it if we calculate the coal
consumption per kilowatt hour. In 2023, the sales volume of
our PV film reached 2.249 billion square meters, which is
able to produce 237GW PV modules. Based on the coal
consumption of kilowatt hour electricity, about 236 million
tons of carbon dioxide emissions can be reduced through
the produced PV modules.
We acknowledge the profound impact of climate change on
human society and the natural environment. The challenges
it brings, like rising sea levels and extreme weather events,
pose unprecedented challenges to global economic
structures and business operations. Hence, we view climate
change as a core strategic consideration, aiming to mitigate
its adverse effects and actively seek opportunities to
contribute to society's transition to low-carbon, green
development. As an active participant in the renewable
energy sector, our PV films backsheets, essential for module
encapsulation and protection, not only optimize PV
conversion efficiency but also significantly extend the
modules' lifespan. Though our production activities consume
energy, they translate into clean energy output through PV
generation, offering environmental returns exponentially.
We are committed to the sustainable development

development support and propel the industry and society
toward more sustainable development. For instance,
we've built distributed power generation systems on our
factory roofs to lessen traditional energy dependency,
while also diversifying our business by developing various
types of photovoltaic stations. We believe such efforts not
only promote the widespread adoption of clean energy
and contribute to global energy transformation and climate
change mitigation but also create new growth

Based on market cases and our actual situation, we have
identified high-risk areas for corruption, such as material
procurement, logistics, and construction. With a
"prevention-first" philosophy, we have established a
comprehensive "Bidding Management Method." The Supply
Chain Center, the General Manager's Office, and the
Internal Audit Department conduct open bidding for
different business segments to prevent rent-seeking and
corruption at the source. Every three years, the company
conducts an audit of all operations. In 2023, the company
conducted 93 bidding projects, 13 special audits, and dealt
with 5 corruption cases, taking appropriate actions against
the individuals involved as per company regulations.
