3.2 Emissions

3.2.1 Emissions-related Indicators

Regarding the waste gas and greenhouse gas emissions, Dazhong Public Utilities follows the Law of PRC on Prevention and Control of Atmospheric Pollution, Atmospheric Pollution Discharging Standards for Urban Wastewater Treatment Plants etc., and strives to lower the environmental impact to a minimum level. Emissions from fossil fuel combustion by Dazhong Public Utilities include NOx and PM etc. Most of the exhaust emissions come from the combustion of motor vehicle gasoline, diesel and liquefied petroleum gas in the urban transportation and logistics sectors. In 2020, the total waste gas discharging volume of Dazhong Public Utilities stood at approximately 1,520.79 tons.

16

Dazhong Public Utilities causes direct and indirect emission of greenhouse gases due to the consumption of fossil fuels and the use of electricity. In 2020, Dazhong Public Utilities emitted about 2.145 million tons of carbon dioxide equivalent in total, and the emission density is 43,300 tons of carbon dioxide equivalent/RMB100 million. Among them, the direct greenhouse gas emissions caused by the burning of fossil fuels were about 161,800 tons of carbon dioxide equivalent, and the indirect greenhouse gas emissions caused by the use of electricity were about 1.9831 million tons of carbon dioxide equivalent.

Regarding the discharging of hazardous and non-hazardous waste, Dazhong Public Utilities follows the relevant laws and regulations, including the Law of PRC on Prevention and Control of Environmental Pollution by Solid Waste, Implementation Plan on Household Waste Classification etc. In 2020, the Company discharged a total amount of 19,330 cubic metres of waste water with a discharge density of 390.27 cubic metres/RMB100 million, a total amount of 56,201.11 tons of non-hazardous solid waste with a disposal density of 0.0113 tons/thousand RMB, a total amount of 6,304.9 kg of hazardous solid waste with a disposal density of 127.29 kg/RMB100 million.

All liquid and solid wastes listed above had been properly disposed in accordance with relevant national environmental protection policies and regulations. The sludge generated by Jiangsu Dazhong was sent to farms, building materials factories and power plants designated by the government as raw materials for making fertilizer, bricks and power generation, so as to realise the secondary recycling of sludge with reduced waste productions.

The Company has achieved remarkable results in implementing measures to reduce exhaust gas and greenhouse gas emissions. The urban transportation sector has further increased the proportion of new energy vehicles. The restrictions on the number of gasoline vehicles in the transportation sector and the launch of new energy vehicles are crucial to the Company's emission reduction. In 2020, Dazhong Transportation actively promoted the operation of new energy taxis in accordance with the requirements of national and local government's new energy vehicle renewal policies. As of the end of 2020, the Company had put 243 pure electric new energy taxis into operation, so as to achieve the goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions year by year. The greenhouse gas emissions of Dazhong Public Utilities in 2020 had been reduced by about 3.17 million tons of CO2 equivalent compared with that in 2019.

17

  1. Resources Usage
    3.3.1 Resources Consumption
    On the energy consumption perspective, Dazhong Public Utilities strives to follow the environmental protection-related policies to improve its energy usage efficiency. Through the development of annual energy consumption targets, the Company promotes the improvement of energy efficiency. The Company obtains applicable water sources according to the relevant national environmental protection policies and regulations, which results in no problems. In 2020, the Company consumed about 66 million litres of gasoline, 6.492 million litres of diesel and 80 million cubic metres of liquefied gas. Meanwhile, all businesses consumed a total amount of about 2.819 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity and 6.9455 million tons of water, with water-consumption density of 1.40 tons/thousand RMB.
    In 2020, the energy consumption of the Company was equivalent to about 748,300 tons of standard coal, of which about 54.19% came from the urban transportation sector, about 43.79% from the infrastructure investment and operation sector, and the rest of the energy consumption came from the wastewater treatment, logistics and transport, city gas, and financial sectors.
    The main businesses of Dazhong Public Utilities are city gas, wastewater treatment, urban transportation, infrastructure investment and operation, logistics and transport, and financial investment, which do not include the production of finished products or involve packaging materials. Therefore, the "total packaging material used for finished products with reference to per unit produced" is not applicable to Dazhong Public Utilities.
  2. Environment and Natural Resources
    Based on the relevant national environmental protection policies and emission requirements, Dazhong Public Utilities carries out business operation, and strictly deals with the emissions and pollutants. All emissions and pollutants are through detailed testing and records, which meet the requirements of relevant national environmental protection regulations and emission regulations, and have no significant impact on the environment and natural resources.

5 Future Planning

5.1 Risks and Opportunities of ESG

Natural resources available for use by the enterprises will decrease in the future, which brings both challenges and opportunities for our corporate development. In recent years and in the foreseeable future, we have been thinking about how to create more economic and social benefits with limited resources. We continuously explore the use of new energy (especially green energy) in our business operation and how to optimise, integrate and use the resources in a highly efficient manner with the support of the latest information science and technology, thereby achieving sustainable development.

The awareness of environmental protection and sustainable development among the consumers will enhance continuously in the future, which means that the consumers will gradually expect the companies to assume their social responsibilities and make contributions to sustainable development of the society and the environment with their resources. In the future market, the companies' performance in sustainable development may directly or indirectly affect the buying decision of the consumers. In addition, the companies' commercial activities will be more closely linked with the neighbouring community, and the companies shall actively contribute to the community and assume their responsibilities for the development of community.

China's legal system is continuously developing, and more and more matured legal framework and laws and regulations will be launched, which poses new problems and brings growing opportunities to our corporate governance. As such, we will continuously improve our management system and actively respond to the opportunities and challenges in the future.

27

5.2 Strategic and Organisational Framework

5.2.1 Spurring Sustainable Development Methods

The transportation business under Dazhong Public Utilities is one of the most important taxi operators in Shanghai, which possesses tens of thousands of various vehicles. In the future development, the Company will continuously explore the use of clean energy in taxi operation, further optimise the energy structure, reduce the use of traditional fossil energy and achieve low-carbon economy. In addition, we will continue to provide driving training in relation to energy saving and emission reduction to drivers in order to further reduce the carbon footprint. We believe that the continuous efforts of public transportation business in energy saving and emission reduction will bring positive effects to the sustainable development of vehicle leasing industry. With the launch of Dazhong Chuxing platform and its promotion in various cities, we believe that data and information technology has led the public transportation business into a new stage in energy saving, emission reduction and maximized use of resources. In recent years, we continuously improved our ability in environment business and optimised the wastewater treatment business. With the promulgation of the Directory of Classified Licences on Fixed Pollution Sources (2017 version) in 2017, the government, regulatory authorities and the general public become more and more concern about the protection of water resources. In response to the increasing demand for wastewater treatment, we will continue to improve the wastewater treatment business in terms of technology and treatment volume.

As the leading public utility provider in Shanghai, our business is highly related to the daily life of consumers, which means our work is closely linked with the community. For community contribution in the future, we will continue to focus on strengthening the interaction with neighbouring communities, increasing the investment in community and encouraging our employees to participate in community services, understand the needs of consumers, provide the most quality services to the consumers and become part of the community. In addition, employees are the foundation for the continuous development of the Company, and we undertake to continue to create friendly and harmonious working environment for our employees. We will continue to reinforce safe production and the idea of "safety first", implement the safety production responsibilities of all levels of staff, making sure the "implementation of all levels", and protect the employees' entitlement to reasonable salary and benefits and provide a variety of training opportunities.
