2022 is a year of steady progress amidst uncertainties. Despite challenges such as COVID-19, political tension in Ukraine, high inflation and climate change, we continue to focus on our own social value and responsibility in exploring the direction of corporate development. We are determined to continue our efforts to protect food safety and build a protective shield for our common home.
To focus on decarbonisation and environmental burden reduction, we have put forward the medium and long- term carbon reduction goal and the carbon neutrality goal in 2050 for Greatview, and continued to make progress and breakthroughs in sustainable development goals such as society, talent, environment and corporate governance. By deeply infiltrating the concept of "carbon reduction" into the Company's operations, and on top of promoting comprehensive green transformation, we implement sustainable development in all aspects of business operations such as production, operation and sales based on sustainable strategic goals and scientific evaluation standards. Our ongoing goal is to create an end-to-end green supply chain through green design, procurement, production and delivery, so as to continuously provide green innovative products for the global market.
To build a fair and safe business environment and with a responsible attitude towards stakeholders, we constantly improve the level of supply chain management, and through the construction of an
effective governance structure, the operation of risk prevention and control mechanisms, we continuously improve the governance system and governance level with strict adherence to business ethics, and the effective protection of investors' rights and interests while safeguarding sustainable development.
To fulfill responsibilities to create social value, we take the initiative to assume corporate social responsibilities. We help employees gain and grow in work, create value jointly with partners, as well as actively integrate into community construction and mobilize professional advantages, earnestly giving back to the community. While committing to reducing our environmental footprint, we are committed to providing circular economy solutions and sharing research results in the fields of food safety and green and low carbon with the society. In China, through the platform of the Committee of Paper-based Beverage Composite Packaging Recycling, we cooperated with members of the governing units to fulfill responsibilities, and achieved the utilisation rate of waste beverage paper- based composite packaging up to 33.3% together.
The resonance between sustainable development of the enterprise and care of social needs has become the core of Greatview's philosophy. Greatview will continue to fulfill its commitment of sustainable development, outline a blueprint of sustainable development jointly with more customers and partners and through persistent joint efforts, and accelerate its progress towards the beautiful vision in the new long-term strategic plan for sustainable development.
