Rating Observation

In the environmental dimension, the company has demonstrated a relatively complete chain from management systems to practical actions, particularly in forming a systematic layout for climate change response. The company has released the "Three-Year Special Plan for Green and Low-Carbon Transition," focusing on technological breakthroughs, institutional innovation, and collaboration across the entire industry chain, with the goal of achieving carbon peak before 2030 and obtaining ISO 14001 environmental management system certification. In 2022, the company's total greenhouse gas emissions were 250,100 tons of carbon dioxide equivalent, including direct emissions of 26,900 tons and indirect emissions of 223,200 tons, with carbon emissions per unit of construction output decreasing by 8% compared to the quota. In waste management, the company recycles concrete production waste and construction soil, transforming it into renewable building materials, and implemented "near-zero waste construction" in the renovation project of the North Building of the Modern Building Design Tower, reducing demolition waste by approximately 95 tons. In addition, the company strictly implements the hazardous waste transfer tracking system to ensure traceability throughout the process. However, the disclosure of information in the green building sector remains limited, particularly in terms of green construction management goals and the number of certification projects, which need further improvement.

In the social dimension, the company has demonstrated strong management capabilities and technical accumulation in occupational health and safety production as well as research and innovation. In terms of occupational health, the company has fully passed the ISO 45001:2018 occupational health and safety management system certification, covering all construction, production sites, and office locations, and has established a three-level health and safety management structure of "Group - Subsidiary - Project Department." Safety production investment reached 5,764 million yuan, accounting for 2.8% of operating income, with 123 safety production inspections conducted throughout the year. In the research and development field, the company's R&D investment reached 7,840.65 million yuan, accounting for 3.8% of operating income, with 6,723 valid patents and 1,254 software copyrights, and R&D personnel accounting for 19.67% of the total workforce. Additionally, the company released the "Technology Innovation White Paper 2025," focusing on digital empowerment and the field of construction robots, and took the lead in compiling the "Zero Carbon Park Evaluation Technical Specification" group standard However, there is still room for improvement in the disclosure of performance indicators in the occupational health field (such as occupational disease incidence rate, work injury rate, etc.).

In terms of governance, the company performs well in board independence and ESG governance structure. The proportion of independent directors on the board is 42.86%, and there are no independent directors with a tenure exceeding 6 years, with an attendance rate of 100%. The company has established a three-tier ESG governance structure, with the board as the highest responsible entity, the Strategy and Sustainable Development Committee responsible for reviewing ESG issues, and the Social Responsibility Leadership Group coordinating the implementation of ESG, incorporating key ESG indicators into the performance evaluation of management to create a value creation incentive mechanism. However, the proportion of female executives is 0%, indicating significant room for improvement in gender diversity. Additionally, the CEO position is currently vacant, and it has not been disclosed whether the chairman serves concurrently, which may have some impact on governance stability.
