THE COMPANY'S ESG RATING WAS ONCE AGAIN GRADED AS "A+" IN 2023
Recently, China Chengxin Green Finance (CCXGF) announced the 2024 ESG rating results. Based on the relevant ESG rating methodology, CCXGF conducted the 2023 annual ESG rating for Dazhong Public Utilities. By evaluating Dazhong Public Utilities' comprehensive performance in three dimensions—Environmental Performance (E), Social Responsibility (S), and Corporate Governance (G)—the Company's ESG rating was once again graded as "A+". Compared to the 2022 annual rating, the 2023 annual ESG weighted average score increased from 67.25 to 68.40. Notably, the scores in the Environmental Performance (E) and Governance (G) dimensions have significantly improved, indicating substantial progress in environmental management, sustainable development, ESG management structure, and internal control management.
As the global understanding of sustainable development continues to deepen, companies are increasingly expected to not only create economic value but also take on the responsibility of promoting environmental, social, and corporate governance (ESG) development. Dazhong Public Utilities, as a large enterprise group with urban public utility infrastructure investment and operation at its core, has always integrated the ESG concept into its strategic development and operations.
Looking ahead, the Company will continue to explore and practice new models and pathways for sustainable development by strengthening environmental management, fulfilling social responsibilities, and optimizing corporate governance across the three dimensions.
