CHINA LIT (00772) published its 2025 Environmental, Social and Governance Report, detailing progress across governance, environmental performance and human-capital development.
Governance and Compliance • The board retains ultimate ESG oversight, supported by an executive-level committee and a dedicated working group. • No corruption cases were concluded during the year. A revised “Sunshine Code of Conduct” and expanded whistle-blowing channels underpin the zero-tolerance stance on bribery and fraud. • The supplier base totals 8,414, each required to sign anti-bribery and data-security commitments; high-risk vendors face blacklisting.
Content Ecosystem • A total of 106 literary works received national or industry accolades in 2025, while over 600 titles entered public cultural collections at institutions such as the National Library of China. • New Classics Media delivered two prime-time TV series, “Guardians of the Dafeng” and “War on Drug”, both topping ratings and receiving multiple awards. • Intellectual-property enforcement was strengthened via an AI-powered anti-piracy centre; the company now holds more than 2,900 registered copyrights and 9,100 trademarks.
Human Capital • Headcount stood at 1,703 (55% female). Employee turnover fell to 19.51%. • Annual training reached 78.72% of staff, averaging 10.97 hours per employee; senior managers logged 28.78 hours on average. • No work-related fatalities were recorded for the sixth straight year, with zero lost-day injuries. • Benefit enhancements included expanded commercial insurance, parental medical check-ups and targeted wellness programmes.
Environmental Metrics and Targets • Scope 1 and 2 emissions declined to 1,135.08 tonnes CO₂-e, an 18% year-on-year reduction, driven mainly by lower electricity demand. • Total energy use fell 14.97% to 2,116.35 MWh; water consumption dropped 41.24% to 2,609.29 tonnes. • All 2025 environmental goals—30% cut in direct emissions, 15% cut in electricity, and 100% waste segregation—were met. • New 2028 targets, using 2025 as base year, call for a further 2% reduction in combined Scope 1+2 emissions and electricity use, while maintaining current levels for gasoline and water.
Climate-Risk Management • A TCFD-aligned framework now embeds scenario analysis; flood-risk mapping shows 33% of operational sites in “relatively high” or “extremely high” flood-risk zones by 2050 under pessimistic scenarios. • Mitigation steps include reinforced data-centre siting criteria, emergency-response drills and insurance coverage.
Outlook Management will refine ESG key-performance indicators, deepen global IP expansion and continue pursuing incremental reductions in carbon intensity while maintaining 100% compliance on waste segregation and responsible sourcing.
