Recently, at the 2024 China International Fair for Trade in Services (CIFTIS) "Carbon Neutrality Action and Corporate ESG Innovation Forum" held in Beijing, the International Green Economy Association (IGEA) released the "Top 100 Low Carbon Brands". This report has been continuously released for 2 years at the United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP) and has received support and recognition from the International Sustainable Standards Board (ISSB) and the CDP Global Environmental Information Research Center. This time, Shanggong Shenbei (Group) Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Shanggong Shenbei") was successfully selected as one of the "Top 100 Low Carbon Brands", demonstrating the company's responsibility to actively implement the "dual carbon" goals and outstanding performance in the new track of sustainable development.

The China International Fair for Trade in Services (CIFTIS) is the largest comprehensive exhibition in the global service trade field jointly hosted by the Ministry of Commerce and the Beijing Municipal Government. Along with the China International Import Expo (CIIE) and the China Import and Export Fair (Canton Fair), it is one of the three major national and global exhibition platforms for China's opening up to the outside world. Shanggong Shenbei has been selected as an ESG themed case at the China International Fair for Trade in Services for two consecutive years, fully demonstrating the company's commitment to becoming a global manufacturer of advanced material connection processing equipment and its innovative practices and industry leading role in digital and low-carbon transformation.

The e-con sustainable sewing solution launched by the company saves 25% of energy consumption compared to similar products through fully digital control and intelligent energy-saving mode. The QONDAC green intelligent workshop overall solution developed by the company significantly improves energy utilization efficiency through advanced digital technology and algorithms. At the same time, the company's robot controlled 3D sewing technology for carbon fiber composite materials injects green energy into the development of strategic emerging industries such as wind power, aviation, and new energy vehicles.

Energy Transition and Circular Economy

In the first half of 2024, the rooftop photovoltaic project of the company's factory located in Huangyan, Zhejiang has achieved a power generation of 800000 kWh and adopted advanced technology to achieve the recycling of waste gas, wastewater, and dust. The factory located in Zhangjiagang, Jiangsu has introduced a new vibration polishing production line, which saves 65% of water consumption through a pressure filtration treatment system. The ultrasonic technology acquired by the company in 2023 from Germany's Shounuo Ultrasonic can be applied in fields such as wastewater treatment, air purification, and soil remediation, promoting technological progress in environmental governance and building sustainable ecosystems.

Supply chain carbon reduction and carbon footprint management

Shanggong Shenbei has deeply integrated ESG concepts into supply chain management and established a strict supplier admission mechanism and dynamic management system. In 2024, the company launched a carbon footprint calculation project to account for and manage the carbon emissions of categories 1-3 from six production bases in Europe, laying the foundation for the development of scientific emission reduction targets and measures.

Looking ahead to the future, Shanggong Shenbei will adhere to the concept of "global market layout, innovative green development", promote the leap of material connection technology through continuous innovation and digital empowerment, and create a new paradigm of intelligent manufacturing. The company will adhere to sustainable practices throughout the entire value chain, commit to the green transformation of the industrial ecosystem, lead high-quality development with new quality productivity, and contribute wisdom and strength to Chinese manufacturing.
