The company disclosed that its total greenhouse gas emissions for Scope 1 and Scope 2 amounted to 199.85 tons of CO2 equivalent, while quantifying Scope 3 emissions data at 287.67 tons of CO2 equivalent, reflecting comprehensive emission management capabilities. In terms of low-carbon technology application, the company supports the green transformation of the steel industry through niobium technology, significantly enhancing steel performance and reducing carbon footprint. Additionally, the company has identified the physical and transition risks posed by climate change and is actively developing the market for climate-friendly metals and mineral products to enhance competitiveness. However, the disclosure of energy issues is relatively limited, lacking key areas such as energy management system certification or the use of clean energy, indicating that there is still room for improvement in information completeness. In the social dimension, the company performs outstandingly in occupational health and safety, achieving records of zero occupational diseases, zero work injuries, zero work-related deaths, and zero safety accidents, ensuring employee safety through a sound safety prevention management system and special self-inspection reports. In the employment sector, the company has established systems for anti-discrimination and diversity management, as well as compensation and benefits management, and reinforces related content through employee handbooks and training to ensure fairness in recruitment and employment. The company disclosed detailed employment performance data, including a total of 317 employees, a female employee ratio of 46.69%, a minority employee ratio of 4.10%, an average salary of 1.2652 million yuan, and an average revenue per capita of 44,737.89 million yuan. Furthermore, the company has obtained ISO 9001:2015 quality management system certification covering multiple businesses, further strengthening product and service quality management. Although there is still room for improvement in the disclosure of specific practices regarding labor protection in the supply chain and environmental protection, the company's overall performance in the social dimension is relatively comprehensive. In the governance dimension, the company demonstrates a certain degree of structural checks and balances and ESG governance capabilities. The proportion of independent directors on the board is 33.33%, and the terms of independent directors have not exceeded 6 years or 9 years, indicating a certain rotation mechanism The company has established a three-tier ESG governance structure and upgraded the strategic committee to the Strategic and Sustainable Development Committee to strengthen ESG management functions. The attendance rate of board members reached 100%, with no member's attendance rate below 75%, reflecting a high level of governance participation. However, the overlap of compensation committee members with executives may affect the independence of compensation decisions, and the proportion of female directors is only 11.11%, indicating room for improvement in gender diversity. In addition, the disclosure of information regarding anti-corruption management system certification and ESG-related training is relatively limited, showing that some details of governance issues still need further improvement.
