Recently, Hang Seng Indexes Company Limited announced the latest review results of the Hang Seng Index Series. China International Marine Containers (Group) Co.,Ltd. (000039.SZ / 02039.HK) was once again included as a constituent stock of the Hang Seng A-Share Sustainable Development Enterprise Benchmark Index, thanks to its outstanding performance in ESG aspects. This marks the sixth consecutive year since 2020 that CIMC has been selected for this index, fully demonstrating the high recognition from authoritative index compilers and capital markets for CIMC's sustainable development achievements.
The Hang Seng A-Share Sustainable Development Enterprise Benchmark Index is a globally recognized ESG investment benchmark. Its selection is based on the independent rating framework of the Hong Kong Quality Assurance Agency, covering seven core dimensions including corporate governance, environmental management, and fair operations. Only companies ranking in the top 10% for sustainability ratings are eligible for inclusion.
In recent years, CIMC has closely followed national policies, and while providing high-quality and reliable equipment and services for the logistics and energy industries, has also adopted "creating sustainable value for society" as its mission, integrating sustainable development concepts into CIMC's business management. This has become an important component of CIMC's strategic management.
The Group promotes green, environmentally friendly, low-carbon sustainable development through multi-dimensional initiatives including green low-carbon design, green supply chain management, and green manufacturing. As of the end of 2024, the entire Group has cultivated 43 green factories, of which 26 are national-level green factories. In 2024, rooftop photovoltaic power generation projects across the Group have been connected to the grid at 39 companies, with cumulative total revenue of 35.64 million yuan. Domestic companies within the Group use green electricity accounting for 6% of total consumption. Total water consumption intensity decreased by 15% year-on-year, and wastewater discharge intensity decreased by 17% year-on-year.
Additionally, CIMC has formed a synergistic effect across the entire clean energy industry chain by deeply cultivating clean energy fields such as hydrogen energy, offshore wind power, and energy storage, making important contributions to the green transformation of the industry. For example: providing more than 30 hydrogen tube trailer containers and hydrogen storage bottle groups for the Beijing Winter Olympics, helping the event achieve "carbon neutrality"; providing Type IV onboard hydrogen supply systems for Hong Kong's first hydrogen bus, promoting hydrogen energy transportation applications; its offshore engineering segment delivered the world's largest methanol dual-fuel wind turbine installation vessel "BOREAS," achieving a 78% reduction in carbon footprint and setting a new industry benchmark.
Being selected for the Hang Seng Index Series for six consecutive years is the best proof of capital market recognition for CIMC's ESG strategic determination. In the future, CIMC will continue to use the marine economy and energy transition as twin engines, coordinating technological innovation with ecological cooperation, and continuously promoting the deep integration of economic, environmental, and social benefits.
