(stock abbreviation: GPED, code: 000429.SZ) received a Wind ESG rating of BBB, unchanged from the previous period. The company's comprehensive score is 6.87, slightly lower than the industry average of 6.93 in the highway and railway sector. It ranks 17th among 28 companies in the highway and railway industry, placing it in the top 60.71% of the industry. The scores for the environmental, social, and governance dimensions are 4.64, 4.35, and 8.17, respectively. Compared to the previous rating, the comprehensive score increased from 6.80 to 6.87, an improvement of 0.07 points.

By dimension, the environmental score improved by 1.24 points, the social score decreased by 0.53 points, and the governance score increased by 0.29 points. ## Rating Observation In the environmental dimension, the company demonstrated a relatively complete management chain for energy and climate change, covering specific practices from greenhouse gas emissions to photovoltaic power generation. The total greenhouse gas emissions amount to 17,417.18 tons of CO2 equivalent, with scope 1 and scope 2 emissions at 1,862.44 tons and 15,554.74 tons, respectively, and the concept of green low-carbon is integrated into the entire lifecycle management. The total energy consumption is 3,938.94 tons of standard coal, with renewable energy accounting for 1.40%. Through a new energy smart management system, the company achieved a self-use ratio of photovoltaic power generation of 82.57%, with a cumulative power generation of 453,800 kWh. Additionally, the company identified acute physical risks from climate change as well as market and technological risks, and addressed policy and compliance risks through measures such as energy-saving renovations of streetlights and optimization of energy management systems, while exploring the feasibility of carbon asset management and road carbon sink projects. The company is also constructing solar photovoltaic and energy storage projects in service areas to promote the integrated development of transportation and energy infrastructure. However, there is still room for improvement in the disclosure of carbon neutrality certification and energy management system certification. In the social dimension, the company demonstrated strong systematic management capabilities in occupational health and safety production, and reinforced execution through quantified goals. The company established a safety production leadership responsibility system, with the chairman and general manager serving as the first responsible persons, and set up a safety production supervision management department and a safety committee, forming a comprehensive management structure. In 2025, the company achieved the goals of zero work-related deaths and zero major accidents, with an injury rate of 0.165% and 5 injured employees. The company also formulated the "Three-Year Action Implementation Plan for Fundamental Safety Production (2024-2026)," clearly stating the goal of curbing the increase of major accident hazards. In the field of research and innovation, the company's R&D investment reached 16.2931 million yuan, accounting for 0.36% of revenue, with 17 valid patents and 6 software copyrights, and promoted technological innovation through a tiered and classified science and technology management system. However, certification indicators in the field of research and innovation (such as high-tech enterprise certification) have not yet been disclosed, which may limit its performance in technological leadership In terms of governance, the company demonstrates a strong structural checks and balances mechanism and governance implementation capability. The proportion of independent directors on the board is 41.67%, with no directors serving more than 6 years, and an attendance rate of 100%. The board has established five specialized committees: audit, compensation and assessment, strategy, risk management, and compliance, to ensure that decision-making processes are standardized and transparent. The company has set up an ESG working group coordinated by the board office, and has appointed ESG information management officers in functional departments to ensure data accuracy. The proportion of female directors is 8.33%, and the proportion of female executives is 16.67%, indicating room for improvement in diversity. Additionally, the company has obtained ISO 37301 and GB/T 35770 compliance management system certifications, demonstrating adherence to international standards in anti-corruption management. However, there is no information linking ESG performance to executive compensation, which may affect the comprehensiveness of governance incentives ### Related Stocks - [000429.CN](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/000429.CN.md) - [200429.CN](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/200429.CN.md) ## Related News & Research - [Integration in natural-gas industry drives private-equity exits](https://longbridge.com/en/news/296097997.md) - [NORCO: Q2 saw robust growth and record orders, with infrastructure and energy leading performance](https://longbridge.com/en/news/296469313.md) - [Analyst Sees Tamarack Valley’s Clearwater Assets and Net Cash Position Powering 10% Production Growth and Potential Re-Rating](https://longbridge.com/en/news/296174078.md) - [LNG Energy Group closes first tranche of private placement, raises C$471,903](https://longbridge.com/en/news/296095110.md) - [REG - AllianzGI-Global DCC Energy PLC - Form 8.3 - DCC Energy Plc](https://longbridge.com/en/news/296209574.md) --- > **Disclaimer: This article is for reference only and does not constitute any investment advice.**
