Sinochem International is committed to building a world class materials platform by delivering on its strategy to become an innovative fine chemical enterprise.
Liu Hongsheng, General Manager, Sinochem International said, "The company is committed to building a world-class materials platform as we deliver on the strategy to be a technology-driven innovative fine chemical enterprise. We need to leverage our grand vision on sustainability to help us achieve higher targets, and our company has to grow in a high-quality manner in the new era."
The company has also recently released the 2020 Sustainability Report which highlights the company's achievements in addressing climate change, carbon emission management, new business presence, technological innovation, precision poverty alleviation, as well as contribution to containing the Covid-19 pandemic.
The report shows that Sinochem International invested 424 million yuan in environmental protection projects in 2020 to foster energy-saving and emission reduction. The company's total carbon dioxide emissions dropped by 220,000 tons from 2019, and carbon dioxide emissions per ton of product declined from 1.72 tons in 2019 to 1.49 tons in 2020.
Sinochem International will further incorporate the "carbon neutrality" target into its long-term strategy, increase investment in research and development, and improve overall efficiency via process improvement and supply chain management, so as to forge ahead with decarbonization.
As Covid-19 rampaged in 2020, the company donated 130 tons of sodium hypochlorite, a disinfectant agent, and supplied more than 10,000 tons of them to the hard-hit areas. It also donated 1.38 million yuan in cash and 510,000 yuan in supplies to support the country's efforts to contain the pandemic.
In 2021, Sinochem International will continue to accelerate the sustainability strategy, deliver the FINE 2030 Action, and contribute to the industry transformation and UN SDGs.
