**Strategic Deepening: Building the Framework of Green Finance** Recognizing green finance's role in sustainable regional development, BANK OF GANSU has established a comprehensive system. At the top level, the bank formulated a detailed green finance development plan, outlining goals, focus areas, and implementation pathways. Its headquarters set up a dedicated Green Finance Department, introducing policies like the *Green Credit Policy* and *Green Bond Fund Management Rules*, ensuring full-process tracking of green loans across all branches.

Operationally, the bank issued guidelines such as the *Corporate Credit Business Manual* and *Green Finance Action Plan*, directing branches to optimize credit structures and support low-carbon industries. A Credit Project Incubation Center was jointly established with the Credit Approval Department to prioritize key new energy projects.

For governance, BANK OF GANSU completed ESG data collection for listed companies, ensuring accuracy in its ESG information platform. It regularly publishes ESG reports and discloses environmental data per regulatory requirements. Quarterly self-assessments align with Gansu’s *Green Credit Performance Evaluation Rules*, reinforcing compliance with national green policies.

**Precision Support: Fueling New Energy Industries** Leveraging Gansu’s abundant wind and solar resources, BANK OF GANSU channels credit into the new energy supply chain. Through targeted list management, it expands financial services for green industries.

For instance, the "100 MW Wind Power Project in Weiyuan County"—approved by Dingxi’s Development and Reform Commission—received swift support. BANK OF GANSU collaborated with State Power Investment Corp’s Xinjiang Energy Chemical Gansu subsidiary, tailoring a financing solution. The bank’s Major Project Incubation Center fast-tracked approval, enabling a RMB 62.8 million loan disbursement.

With backing from the People’s Bank of China’s Gansu branch and its incubation center, the bank secured RMB 125 million in carbon-reduction tool quotas for Zhangye and Dingxi branches. It has successfully accessed RMB 305 million in PBOC carbon-reduction funds.

**Innovative Breakthroughs: Bridging the Green Financing Gap** Addressing SMEs’ collateral challenges, BANK OF GANSU developed diversified green credit products: - **"Boundless Wind & Solar Loan"**: Supports large-scale wind and solar projects with medium-to-long-term loans. - **"Energy-Saving Loan"**: Funds R&D, equipment manufacturing, and services, boosting traditional industries’ efficiency. - **"Eco-Agri Loan"**: Backs green agriculture (e.g., herbal medicine, apple farming, livestock), promoting organic practices and farmer incomes.
