Step 2: Create an IRO (impact, risk and oppounity) invento of issues
By benchmarking peer enterprises, studying macro policies and laws and regulations, nding out indust development trends, and grasping ESGrating requirements in the capital market, we identify potentially material issues that can reect the impacts of the Company's business oneconomy, environment and society or inuence stakeholders' decisions. By doing so, we aim to ensure that the identied issues are in line withregulato requirements as well as the international best practices. With extensive reference to the issue identication methods and prioritizationresults of peer enterprises peorming excellently in respect of sustainability, we identify material issues that draw intensive concerns and updatethe IRO invento of issues.
Step 4: Materiality assessment result analysisWe adopt the two-dimensional matrix of “nancial materiality - impact materiality” to present the materiality assessment results. We haveidentied that “climate change response” and “environmental compliance management” are material in respect of nance. Meanwhile, these twoissues also are material in respect of impact.
Step 3: Materiality assessment and conrmation
We assess and prioritize issues based on their impact materiality and nancial materiality. Impact materiality focuses on whether the Company'speormance in respective issues signicantly aects economy, society and environment. Financial materiality focuses on whether each issue isexpected to signicantly aect the Company's business model, business operations, development strategy, nancial position, operation results,cash ows, nancing methods and costs in the sho, medium and long terms . In line with regulato requirements, risk assessment standards andactual production and operations, we set the determination thresholds for and prioritize impacts, risks and oppounities, taking into account thefeedback from stakeholders and internal and external expes. Ultimately, the assessment results are output to inform strategic decision-makingand resource allocation.When assessing the impact of sustainability issues, we consider the magnitude of the impacts on environment and society and as well as thefrequency of occurrence:
1 The period of time is dened as sho term when it is shoer than 1 year, medium term when between 1 year and 5 years, and long term when longer than 5 years,in order to align with the Company's strategic development plan, indust characteristics, nature of risks and oppounities and resource allocation plan.
When assessing the risks and oppounities of sustainability issues, we consider the severity of propey damage consequences, the magnitudeof impact on propey gains, and the frequency of occurrence:

In addition, the Management Procedurefor Environmental Factor Identication and Risk Evaluation has been established. A cross-functional team consisting of professionals with richexperience in environmental factor evaluation and production management carries out relevant work. We identify the environmental factors in ourproducts and seices. Subsequently, based on the environmental impacts, we calculate the quantity of risk substances and assess the productionprocesses, the discharge points of each pollution source, environmental risk control level, and preventive and control measures. Fuhermore, weevaluate the objects aected by environmental risks and oppounities by means of environmental factor questionnaires, production processanalysis and material balance analysis. By doing so, we determine the levels of environmental risks and oppounities, and take relevant preventiveand emergency response measures for environmental risks and oppounities. Meanwhile, we prepare the Assessment Repo on EnvironmentalRisks and Oppounities, which is used as a guide for the Company's management of environmental risks and oppounities.The cross-functional team of each subsidia establishes a risk and oppounity matrix based on the likelihood of occurrence and impactmagnitude of risks and oppounities. The cross-functional team determines the risk coecients, to qualitatively classify the identied risks andoppounities. When determining the risk coecients, the cross-functional team assesses the likelihood of occurrence of impacts, risks andoppounities related to environmental management based on historical data and indust experience, while measuring the severity of theimpacts of these risks and oppounities in view of nance, operations and reputation.
Metrics and Targets
After identifying the risks and oppounities in environmental management, the Company denes the prima depament of responsibilities andformulates corresponding management measures or action plans, such as developing management system, upgrading metric measurement,setting environmental targets, dening production operation procedures, planning technology upgrading or plant renovation projects, andevaluating the eectiveness of countermeasures or plans.

The company continuously optimizes the comprehensive management process for solid waste and has established relevant regulations such asthe Administrative Measures for Solid Waste. It has also established a hazardous waste management ledger and environmental managementplatform. Each of our plants has set up a dedicated waste management depament, which is responsible for coordinating the daily managementand data collection of all sos of wastes. Moreover, each subsidia sets annual waste management goals through peormance and managementassessments, aiming to control waste generation at the source.
Waste Management
Hazardous Waste
The Company treats waste in strict accordance with the principles of “reduction, utilization, and neutralization”. We prioritize waste recycling andreuse, and non-recyclable waste is classied and disposed of based on its level of hazard. Hazardous waste is treated in accordance with nationalregulations through closed-loop processes, and we arranged specialized training for employees responsible for managing the storage andtranspoation of hazardous waste. General solid waste is rst soed, then disposed accordingly.
Hazardous waste mainly comes from raw materials andby-products in the production process.
Zhongjin Petrochemical's treatment and reuse of sewageCase
Zhongjin Petrochemical adopts a multi-stage treatment process to complete the treatment and reuse of electro-desalinationsewage in its integrated rening-chemical project, realizing ecient purication and resource recycling. The electro-desalinationsewage in the plant is delivered to the salt-containing system of the sewage treatment plant to undergo degreasing and airotation to remove organic pollutants through microbial degradation.In the deep treatment stage, the sewage rstly undergoes air otation and multi-media ltration. After then, ozone catalyticoxidation technology is applied to deeply treat refracto organics. At last, the water will be deeply puried through the ultraltra-tion (UF) and reverse osmosis (RO) desalination system. The puried water from sewage treatment is reused in production tank tomeet the production water demand, while the concentrated water is discharged for subsequent treatment.In addition, sewage containing sulfur, ammonia and benzene is subject to acid water gas stripping treatment, and then reused inthe circulating water plant after degreasing, air otation, A/O biochemical and MBR membrane treatment, which eectively reducespollutant discharges and realizes ecient recycling of water resources.In 2024, Zhongjin Petrochemical treated and reused 2.9 million tonnes of wastewater.
Resource utilization of waste at ZPCCase
ZPC embraces the principle of hazardous waste resource utilization. The company processes eliminated and decommissioned UPSlead-acid batteries from electrical centers through specialized recycling. Lead and other metals are extracted and reprocessed intolead ingots, which are then reinstalled in vehicles such as buses to replace new batteries. Annually, ZPC recycles 150 waste UPSlead-acid batteries. This eectively decreases the demand for virgin lead resources and reduces the potential risks of environmentalpollution caused by used batteries.Additionally, ZPC collaborates with leading domestic environmental enterprises to apply regeneration technology for catalysts usedin ue gas denitrication. This technology employs high-temperature heating and chemical separation to extract and reusevaluable metals from spent catalysts. In 2024, ZPC successfully regenerated and reused 1,500 tonnes of catalysts, which contribut-ed to the reduction and reuse of hazardous waste and reduced the operating cost of ZPC.
Waste management approaches
General Solid Waste
General solid waste is mainly divided into domestic waste,industrial waste without residual value, and industrialwaste with residual value.Domestic waste: regularly transferred to the domesticwaste landll by special vehicles arranged by theengineering depaments.Industrial waste with no residual value: handed over tothe qualied industrial waste handling entity for disposal.Industrial waste with residual value: sold to the externalby the sourcing depament for comprehensiveutilization (for example, gypsum and scrap metal).
Reduction at the source: reduce the generation ofhazardous waste from the source as much as possiblethrough the application of advanced process.Outsourced for disposal: entrust the hazardous wastethat cannot be fuher utilized to the qualied thirdpay for disposal.
Target for 2025: the waste is disposed of incompliance with laws and regulations.ZhongjinPetrochemical
Hazardous waste landll rate is planned to be lowerthan 5% by 2025.
ZPC
By 2025, COD concentration decreases by 15% over2024 (from 60 mg/L to 50 mg/L).YishengNew Materials
In accordance with Yisheng Dahua's goals ofcompliant treatment, the solid waste generated byYisheng Dahua is entrusted to qualied organizationsfor treatment in compliance with laws.YishengDahua

Photovoltaic project deployment: YongshengTechnology commissioned a 7.2 MW photovoltaicproject in 2024, complementing its existing 17.6 MWdistributed rooftop photovoltaic systems. RongshengEnergy intends to construct a 60 MWp rooftopphotovoltaic plant in ZPC Plant. The project is expectedto be operational in 2025, and will reduce carbondioxide emissions by 38 thousand tonnes per year.ZPC 10 MW/20 MWh energy storage system: ZPCdeployed two energy storage systems (5 MW/10 MWheach) in 2024, totaling 10 MW/20 MWh. The batteenergy storage system charges during o-peak hoursusing surplus transformer capacity and dischargesduring peak hours. This not only avoids the use of fossilfuel energy when there is a shoage of electricity duringpeak hours but also saves a poion of the electricitycosts during those hours. The system is also equippedwith independent re protection, temperature control,lighting, video sueillance, and other systems to ensuresafe and reliable operation, with projected annualrevenue RMB 900 thousand per year.Yisheng Dahua's multiple uses of self-producedbiogas: Yisheng Dahua utilizes the biogas generatedfrom the wastewater treatment of its comprehensiveutilization facility. A poion of the biogas replacesmethanol in the crude oil hydrogenation process. Thegenerated hydrogen sees as feedstock for the mainunit's hydrogenation reactor. Another poion of thebiogas is sent to the reactive treatment oxidizing (RTO)unit as combustion gas, while the excess biogas is usedas fuel in the thermal medium furnace, reducing theconsumption of coal fuel. Through this method, YishengDahua can save 4,000 tonnes of coal annually andreduce approximately 8,000 tonnes of carbon dioxideemissions.
Alternative energy sources and technologies
ZPC's promotion of seawater desalination project: One of ZPC'sseawater desalination projects - 100 thousand tonnes/daymembrane desalination system, addressed the issue of limitedfreshwater resources in its island location. The seawaterdesalination project development team adopts a site-specicapproach and utilizes an overhead design to fully utilize veicalspace and maximize freshwater production within the constraintsof limited production area. With the technical experience gainedfrom the rst phase of the project, the company has successfullydeveloped and put into operation a large-scale seawater reverseosmosis unit with a daily production capacity of 35,280 tonnes.
Sustainable use of water resources
Rare eah rubber production technology: ZPC has developed aproduction facility for rare eah rubber products, using n-hexaneas the solvent, where butadiene undergoes continuous directionalpolymerization in the polymerization reactor, and the rubbersolution is then coagulated and processed to obtain rare eahbutadiene rubber products. The rare eah rubber productionfacility reduces VOC generation through optimization of auxiliaagent selection, production process parameter control, andequipment selection, such as adopting a four-reactor coagulationsystem during the stripping stage to reduce n-hexane residue inthe rubber, and all exhaust gases during the post-processingstage are directed to a regenerative thermal oxidation furnace fortreatment, collectively reducing VOC emissions. Simultaneously,the rare eah rubber production utilizes rare eah catalysts toprecisely control the polymerization reaction, which whileimproving product peormance, reduces by-products anddecreases catalyst residue pollution, achieving both economicbenets and environmental advantages, and enhancing themarket competitiveness of the company's products.rPET physical recycling project: Hainan Yisheng optimized theproduct structure, introduced advanced manufacture techniques,and has put into operation 50,000 tonnes/year rPET physicalrecycling production capacity. Hainan Yisheng's post-consumerrPET produced through a physical recycling process can be usedto produce 100% recycled PET containers for food contact if theconditions of use are met and has received ceication from theUS Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
Prevention and control of pollution
In the future, the Company will continue to expand renewable energy power trading including wind power, photovoltaic,hydropower, continue to explore trading paners, promote the allocation of green power resources of the Company on a largerscale, and optimize the new power trading strategy combining traditional power and green power to esco the sustainabledevelopment of the Company.
