SUBJECT AREA A ENVIRONMENTAL

A1. Emissions

In the Year, the Group has strictly complied with the rules and regulations of the national environmental protection, including the "Atmospheric Pollutant Integrated Emission Standard (GB16297-1996)", "Waste Water Integrated Emission Standard (GB8978-1996)", "Industry Enterprise Factory Environmental Noise Emission Standard (GB12348-2008)". In addition, the Group developed an internal emissions management system and relevant policies, such as the "Policy on Waste Water Discharge", "Policy on Waste Gas Emission", and "Policy on Hazardous and Non-hazardous Waste Discharge", in an effort to make the treatment of the quantities of the emissions and waste dregs following the requirements of the national and local environmental protection authorities.

Since 2019, Hangzhou Shibao has been complying the more harsh Hangzhou standard - the "Emission Standard of Volatile Organic Compound of the Key Industrial Enterprise" in respect of the standard of emission of atmosphere. The painting process was followed the "Emission Standard of Atmospheric Pollution of Industrial Painting Process (DB33/2146-2018)". The position of heat treatment was followed the "Emission Standard of Atmospheric Pollution of Industrial furnace (GB9078-1996)". The waste water discharge was also followed the "Standard of Indirect Emission Limit of Industrial Enterprise Wastewater Nitrogen and Phosphorus Pollutants (DB33/887-2013)".

During the production process of the Group, the main emissions are waste water, waste gas and waste materials. Production sewage is mainly produced from fine processing and heat treatment. During the Year, part of the fine processing were subcontracted and part of the energy consumed and pollutant produced equipment were eliminated, so the emission of the waste water was substantially reduced. In addition, The Group's greenhouse gas emissions mainly come from the consumption of purchased electricity and steam by production equipment in our production process. Vehicle emission is not the main source of air pollution for the Group. The waste gas emissions during the Group's operation cause no material impact on the environment. However, the Group will closely control and monitor any air pollutants which may be produced in our production and transportation processes.
