Beijing Enterprises Water Group Limited (BEWG; HKEX: 00371) has released its 2025 Sustainability Report, detailing governance structure, environmental-social-governance (ESG) performance and new medium-term carbon targets.
BEWG Board Oversight The Board, supported by a dedicated Sustainability Committee and an ESG Working Group, holds ultimate responsibility for ESG strategy and disclosure. Climate oversight is fully embedded in this three-tier structure, and ESG performance metrics are linked to management remuneration.
Operational Footprint and Financial Indicators • 159 water-supply plants and 927 sewage-treatment facilities were in operation, processing about 2.34 billion tonnes of tap water and 5.83 billion tonnes of wastewater, respectively. • Municipal water-treatment capacity in operation reached 34.09 million tonnes per day, maintaining the group’s leading domestic position. • 2025 revenue grew to RMB 22.06 billion, with a dividend payout of HKD 1.67 billion.
Key ESG Results • Water-quality pass rates for both supply and effluent remained at 100%. • Network leakage fell to 10.29%, while reclaimed-water production rose to 433.58 million tonnes. • Star-level water-plant ratio reached 27.3% after the rollout of a “Digital Star-level” evaluation framework. • Renewable-energy consumption climbed 55% year-on-year to 114,000 MWh. • Group-wide energy-consumption intensity stood at 0.124 tce per RMB 10,000 revenue; Scope 1+2 greenhouse-gas-emission intensity was 0.53 tCO₂e per RMB 10,000 revenue. • Hazardous-waste intensity was 0.57 kg per RMB 10,000 revenue; non-hazardous-waste intensity was 1.42 tonnes per RMB 10,000 revenue. • No major environmental violations or significant pollution incidents were recorded.
Climate Targets and Action BEWG committed to cut Scope 1+2 carbon-emission intensity per revenue by 2% and per water-treated unit by 4% by 2030 versus 2023 levels. Measures include: – expanding distributed photovoltaic installations (50 plants already equipped), – deploying water-source heat-pump “New Energy Island” solutions, – upgrading high-efficiency equipment, and – integrating AI-driven process-control systems that trimmed electricity and chemical use by up to 20 %.
Biodiversity and Environmental Stewardship Following an “avoid-reduce-regenerate-restore-transform” hierarchy, BEWG conducts biodiversity impact assessments using BIA and IBAT tools, monitors protected-area proximity for 200 key plants and implements habitat restoration projects such as the Qingquan River wetland and Yuhangtang River ecological upgrade. Three wastewater plants were named national “Green and Low-carbon Benchmarks” in 2025.
Workforce and Community Engagement BEWG employed 17,663 people, provided an average of 64.62 training hours per employee and recorded an employee Lost-Time Incident Rate of 0.15 cases per 200,000 hours. Charitable donations totalled RMB 1.90 million, with initiatives spanning disaster relief, rural development and environmental education.
Outlook With the “cloud-chain-unit” smart-water paradigm and a strengthened low-carbon roadmap, BEWG plans further expansion of clean-energy use, digital-intelligent upgrades and biodiversity actions as it enters China’s 15th Five-Year Plan period, targeting continued reductions in energy intensity and greenhouse-gas emissions while maintaining 100% compliance in water quality and safety.
