Apr 08

China Primary Energy released its FY2025 ESG report (reporting period: 1 Jan–31 Dec 2025), detailing sharp reductions in greenhouse-gas output, tighter resource management and strengthened social governance across its natural-gas, biomass, and property-investment operations in mainland China and Hong Kong.

Environmental Performance • Total GHG emissions fell 10.30 % year on year to 32,779 tonnes CO2e. Scope 1 emissions dropped 12.00 % to 25,452.70 tonnes, while Scope 2 declined 30.80 % to 5,222.50 tonnes following a 27.00 % cut in purchased power to 9,045.30 MWh. Scope 3 emissions rose to 2,103.80 tonnes after the company expanded its reporting boundary. • Overall energy consumption decreased 12.90 % to 81,006.90 MWh, led by lower electricity use. Gasoline fell 7.90 % to 35,040.90 L, biomass usage contracted 13.30 % to 20,714.10 tonnes, while diesel and natural-gas volumes edged higher. • Water intake increased 7.60 % to 128,806.60 m³; the firm pledged to cap production water-loss at 10 %. • Non-hazardous solid waste totalled 311,060 kg and wastewater 128,802 m³; no hazardous waste was generated. Paper consumption was cut 21.80 % to 395 kg, with 17.50 kg recycled. • China Primary Energy set a new goal to trim combined Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions 22.50 % from the FY2021 baseline by 2030 and to hold electricity intensity and gasoline use at FY2025 levels.

Climate-Risk Governance The board retains ultimate oversight, supported by management-level monitoring and external advisers. Scenario analyses based on IPCC RCP 8.5 and 2.6 pathways have been initiated, and climate-related risks are now integrated into the group’s operational and strategic risk registers.

Social Metrics • Headcount stood at 161 (PRC 151, Hong Kong 10), with women representing 32.90 %. The turnover rate was 16.80 %. • 51.60 % of employees received training, averaging 5.60 hours each; zero work-related fatalities or injury days were recorded for the third consecutive year. • The company maintained full compliance with labour, health-and-safety, and anti-discrimination laws in both jurisdictions.

Supply-Chain & Product Responsibility • The group sourced from 35 key suppliers (34 in mainland China, one in Hong Kong); 100 % were assessed under its environmental and social-risk framework. • No product recalls or customer complaints were reported; privacy controls follow Hong Kong’s Personal Data (Privacy) Ordinance.

Governance & Integrity No cases of bribery, fraud, or money-laundering were recorded. All directors and relevant staff completed anti-corruption training.

Outlook China Primary Energy plans to widen its Scope 3 accounting, refine climate-risk financial assessments and accelerate investment in biomass gasification and other low-carbon technologies to meet its 2030 emissions target while supporting China’s 2060 carbon-neutrality goal.
