China Boton Group Company Limited released its Environmental, Social and Governance Report for the year ended 31 December 2025. The document, prepared under Appendix C2 of the Hong Kong Listing Rules, details performance across four mainland Chinese production hubs, the Shenzhen headquarters, the Hong Kong office and an Indonesian plant.
\n\nKey environmental metrics\n• Total greenhouse-gas emissions rose 106.9 % to 13,079.6 tCO₂e, driven by the first-time inclusion of Scope 3 business-travel data and reporting-boundary expansion to head-office facilities.\n• Electricity consumption increased 83.4 % to 19,777.7 MWh; direct energy use (petrol, diesel, natural gas) advanced 82.3 % to 4,765.1 MWh after vehicle-fuel data were added.\n• Hazardous wastewater climbed to 68.3 tonnes (2024: 53.7 tonnes), while hazardous solid waste reached 2.5 tonnes (2024: 0.3 tonnes) on operational changes and fuller data capture.\n• Non-hazardous solid waste fell 5.8 % year-on-year to 47.4 tonnes, reflecting initial waste-reduction efforts.\n• The company targets keeping annual emissions and resource consumption growth within 10 % but states this may be revised by segment.
\n\nClimate-risk governance and strategy\n• The board retains ultimate oversight and has formed a cross-functional ESG Working Committee to manage climate-related risks and opportunities.\n• Acute physical risks (extreme weather), chronic physical risks (raw-material disruptions) and policy-driven transition risks (tighter emissions rules, possible carbon pricing) were identified; no near-term material financial impact is expected.\n• The group has yet to set quantitative emission-reduction targets, internal carbon pricing or specific climate-related capex budgets, but plans to refine scenario analysis and develop a transition plan.
\n\nResource efficiency\n• Water consumption rose 40.4 % to 231,764 m³ due to new production lines and staff facilities.\n• Packaging-material usage increased 9.2 % to 1,385.4 tonnes, mainly plastics, paper and metal.
\n\nSocial indicators\n• The workforce totalled 3,370 staff across China, Indonesia, Hong Kong, South Korea and other locations; China accounted for 97.7 % of headcount.\n• Overall employee turnover was 41.7 %, with female turnover at 43.6 % and male at 40.5 %.\n• No work-related fatalities were recorded in the past three years; lost-time injuries fell to eight days (2024: 186 days).
\n\nSupply-chain profile\n• The four operating segments worked with 1,033 suppliers; 99.7 % are China-based.\n• Suppliers undergo a three-tier evaluation system; A-class suppliers (e.g., battery and e-liquid providers) face the strictest oversight.
\n\nProduct responsibility and governance\n• More than 6,000 patents, product designs and formulas are protected under a dedicated knowledge-management procedure.\n• No product recalls or significant customer complaints occurred in 2025.\n• Anti-corruption training covered 408 employees and directors, totalling 831 training hours; no legal cases related to corruption were reported.
\n\nCommunity contributions\n• Charitable donations amounted to RMB 903,000 during the reporting period, targeting environmental and social initiatives in Hong Kong and mainland China.
