It is mainlyresponsible for collecting domestic sewage from theeast of Taiping Waterway in Humen Town and domesticsewage from Weiyuan Island in Humen Town, so thatthe sewage will be purified to meet the quality standardto be discharged into a certain water body or reused. Itprocesses more than 100,000 tons of sewage per day andserves a population of about 850,000.Humen Green processed over 40 million tons of municipalwastewater in 2018 through its two sewage treatmentplants. After being filtered by the coarse grid, the sewageis pumped by the lift pump to the fine grid, and then flowsinto the grit chamber for sedimentation before entering thebiochemical tank. Subsequently, it enters the sedimentationtank for sedimentation, and eventually discharges throughthe UV disinfection channel in compliance with thedischarge standards. The domestic sewage and productionwastewater in the plant area are collected by the internalsewage pipeline network of the plant and then convergedinto the coarse grid to be processed by the treatmentfacilities together with the external municipal sewage beforedischarge. Fully adopting rigorous operating guidelines tocontrol emissions from daily operations, the emissions fromthe two wastewater treatment plants meet the requirementsof the first class-B graded standard of the PollutantsEmission Standards of Urban Sewage Water TreatmentPlant (GB18918-2002) first class B standard, the COD alsomeets the first standard of the second period set forth inthe Emission Limits of Water Pollutants, (DB44/26-2001)Guangdong Province.

Climate change is an environmental issue that the worldmust face. According to a report issued by the WorldMeteorological Organization, global GHG concentrationlevel reached a record high in 2018 which has pushedthe global climate to an increasingly dangerous level.Although multiple countries signed the Paris Agreement in2015 promising to reduce carbon dioxide and other GHGemissions so as to hold the increase in the global averagetemperature to well below 2C and to pursue efforts to thetarget of 1.5C, the global average temperature in 2018 stillincreased for almost 1C above pre-industrial levels.

GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONSINSPECTIONIn order to facilitate the government to fulfil its responsibilityunder the Paris Agreement and to implement importantpolicies such as the National Policies and Actions forAddressing Climate Change (2014–2020), the Groupsincerely hopes to ease global warming. We conductedGHG emissions inspection for the headquarters officebuilding and five major subsidiaries according to theGreenhouse Gas Protocol developed by World ResourcesInstitute and the World Business Council for SustainableDevelopment and ISO14064–1 established by InternationalOrganization for Standardization.After the inspection, GHG emissions of the Group can becategorized into direct emissions (Scope 1) and indirectemissions (Scope 2 and Scope 3). The GHG emissionsin each scope are derived from the fuel consumptionof the Company, the fuel consumed by the vehicles ofthe Company (Scope 1), electricity consumption duringoperation (Scope 2), waste landfill and paper consumption(Scope 3), etc. The summary of GHG emissions for the yearis set out in Appendix I: Sustainability Data Statements.The Group actively invests resources and strives toimplement emission reduction measures in its corebusiness. The Group successfully reduced GHG emissionsby 3,549.41 tons in 2018, and its emissions intensitydecreased by 17.38% as compared with 2017, which isthe result reached by common effort of the Group toundertake corporate social responsibilities.
