We firmly believe that sustainable development is the cornerstone of our company's century-long journey, and we have always encouraged and collaboratively supported our cooperative factories to achieve and improve their sustainable development goals. This commitment is not just a moral stance but a strategic imperative that aligns with the global shift towards environmental responsibility and social equity.

Our approach to sustainability is multifaceted, encompassing environmental stewardship, health and safety protocols, and the economic viability of our operations. We recognize that the chemical industry, despite its significant contributions to society, also faces challenges such as regulatory compliance, waste management, and the need for innovative technologies to reduce its environmental footprint. 

To ensure that our cooperative factories are on par with the best practices in the industry, we have implemented robust EHS (Environmental, Health, and Safety) management systems. These systems are designed to not only meet but exceed the standards set by regulatory bodies. We have also invested in state-of-the-art equipment and technologies that promote energy efficiency, reduce waste, and minimize emissions.

One of the key strategies we employ is the promotion of green and circular chemistry principles. This involves designing processes that use renewable feedstocks, maximize the efficiency of raw material use, and ensure that by-products are recycled or reused wherever possible. By doing so, we aim to close the loop on material flows, thus reducing our dependency on non-renewable resources and the generation of waste.

Moreover, we actively engage in research and development to innovate safer and more sustainable products. This includes the design of chemicals that are inherently safer, the use of safer solvents and auxiliaries, and the development of products that are biodegradable or can be easily recycled at the end of their life cycle.

In addition to our internal efforts, we also extend our support to cooperative factories by providing them with the necessary resources and expertise to improve their own sustainability practices. This includes sharing best practices, conducting joint training programs, and offering technical assistance in areas such as waste reduction, energy management, and the implementation of cleaner production technologies.

Our commitment to sustainable development is further reinforced by our participation in global initiatives that aim to promote sustainable chemistry and the achievement of the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). We believe that through collective action and collaboration, we can make a significant impact in addressing the environmental, social, and economic challenges of our time.

In conclusion, our dedication to sustainable development is a continuous journey that requires constant learning, adaptation, and innovation. We are proud of the progress we have made so far, and we remain committed to working with our cooperative factories to achieve even greater heights of sustainability in the future.
