In 2025, CHINT Group accelerated its journey toward a zero-carbon future by fully implementing its 2030 Sustainable Development Strategy. Guided by a philosophy of long-termism and co-creation, CHINT has integrated green principles into every aspect of its operations—from strategic planning to scientific decarbonization and supply chain empowerment—delivering replicable, sustainable solutions to the global industry.

I. Strategic Vision: A New Blueprint for 2030

At the start of 2025, CHINT officially launched the CHINT Group 2030 Sustainable Development Strategy, introducing its innovative "EMPOWER" Sustainable Development Strategy Model. This framework is designed to align business growth with environmental stewardship, empowering customers, the industry, and the wider ecosystem.

To turn this vision into action, CHINT has focused on four strategic pillars: Addressing Climate Change, Sustainable Product Management, Sustainable Supply Chain Management, and Promoting the Circular Economy. Through cross-industry collaboration among its six major subsidiaries, the Group has defined clear implementation pathways to drive these strategies forward

II. Decarbonization and Value Chain Empowerment

• Validating Science-Based Targets CHINT Electrics and Astronergy have successfully received validation from the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). Both subsidiaries have set clear emission reduction targets for Scopes 1 and 2 and incorporated Scope 3 value chain emissions into their roadmap, leading the industry in collaborative decarbonization.

• Empowering a Green Supply Chain Moving beyond simple compliance, CHINT is building capacity across its supply chain. As a key initiator of the ESG rating platform for Chinese suppliers, CHINT has encouraged core partners to conduct carbon inventories and sign reduction commitments, fostering a transition toward shared green capabilities.

• Digitalizing Carbon Management Leveraging the "Digital CHINT" infrastructure, the Group has deployed a comprehensive Carbon Management Platform. This system enables real-time monitoring and intelligent control of energy consumption and carbon emissions, ensuring that emission data is traceable, manageable, and actionable.

III. Building Trust through Transparent Disclosure

CHINT remains committed to high standards of transparency through a robust ESG reporting network:

• Legacy of Disclosure: CHINT Electrics released its ESG report for the 12th consecutive year, while CHINT Electric published its Sustainability Report for the 14th year.
• Expanding Scope: Subsidiaries NOARK and CHINT Instrument & Meter released their inaugural reports, marking a significant expansion of ESG management across the Group.
• Global Engagement: Throughout the year, CHINT completed over 245 sustainability questionnaires and project support documents and proactively submitted its Communication on Progress to the UN Global Compact (UNGC)

IV. ESG Performance: Ratings and Recognitions

CHINT’s relentless commitment to sustainability has yielded significant improvements in global ESG ratings and widespread industry recognition:

• Leap in Ratings:

  • MSCI: CHINT Electrics achieved a two-level upgrade to a BBB rating, entering the industry's leading tier.
  • EcoVadis: Astronergy was awarded the Platinum Medal, and CHINT Electric received the Gold Medal.
  • CDP: CHINT Electrics, Astronergy, and CHINT Electric all achieved a B score in Climate Change, with Astronergy and CHINT Electric securing an A- in Water Security

• Solidifying International Standards: CHINT continues to advance its management systems, promoting the implementation of key certifications across its industrial companies, including ISO 28000 (Supply Chain Security), ISO 20400 (Sustainable Procurement), ISO 37001 (Anti-Bribery Management), and SA8000 (Social Accountability).

• Growing Brand Influence through Prestigious Honors: The Group’s sustainability leadership has garnered over 15 high-impact domestic and international awards. Key recognitions include being named a "Leading Enterprise" on Bloomberg Green’s "2026 ESG 50" list, honored as a "2025 Low-Carbon Pioneer Enterprise" and "2024 Outstanding Responsible Enterprise" by Southern Weekly, and featured on the 2025 Fortune China ESG Impact List. The Group was also recognized for its inclusive culture in Bloomberg Businessweek’s "DEI Employer" awards.

V. Embedding Sustainability into Corporate Culture

• Capacity Building: CHINT conducted 28 ESG-themed training sessions and workshops for employees across R&D, supply chain, and media departments to enhance internal execution capabilities.

• Youth Engagement: The "CHINT Youth Sustainable Development Practice Initiative" was launched to inspire young employees to drive green innovation.
• Cultural Integration: Sustainability concepts were integrated into daily work life through Culture Month and Family Day activities, fostering a shared green mindset.

VI. Empowering Clients with Green Energy Solutions

A highlight of the year was the release of the Green Energy Solutions White Paper, jointly produced with the SJTU ESG Institute. The report details CHINT’s integrated technical pathways centered on four core areas: Green Energy, Smart Grid, Load Reduction, and New Storage.

The White Paper showcases benchmark projects—such as the Yueqing Sensor Industrial Park and the Changsha China State Construction International Wisdom Valley Regional Energy Station—providing the industrial, construction, and transportation sectors with replicable models for zero-carbon transition. By co-creating with customers, CHINT is actively translating these green solutions into tangible sustainable growth.
