CaseUse of clean energy
In response to the country's call for vigorous development of clean energy, the Company actively promoted theconstruction of photovoltaic power generation projects and clean energy procurement in production bases,injecting clean momentum into its green and low-carbon development.As of the end of the reporting period, our rooftop photovoltaic installed capacity reached 13.656 MW, and thecapacity under construction was 24.12 MW. During the reporting period, photovoltaic power generation wasup to 14 MWh. In the future, the Company will further promote photovoltaic construction projects, expand
rooftop photovoltaic
Key Performance
The Company identi?ed that the 8 air compressors in the South China base had muchspace for energy saving. By systematically sorting out the problems, it was foundthat the air compressors in the South China base were mainly manually monitoredand managed, but the quality of the gas output from the air compressors and theunit gas consumption were not monitored. The problems such as the operatingload of the air compressors, pressure drop in pipes, and pipe leakage could not beaccurately identified. In addition, the continuous loading and unloading of the air
compressors consumed a lot of energy. The air compressors, refrigerant dryers,and other equipment were not interlocked. As a result, after the air compressorswere turned o?, the corresponding equipment could not be automatically shutdown. In combination with the problems, the Company carried out targetedrecti?cation and reduced the energy consumption per unit by 2.1 kWh/ton.To reduce the energy consumption of production equipment, Kingfa Medical'snon-woven workshop upgraded the existing production line equipment.The waste heat of the drying tail gas generated by the water electret ovenswas recycled, and advanced environment-friendly heat exchange equipmentwas introduced. The waste heat of the tail gas was used for fresh air heatingthrough the heat exchanger cores to reduce energy loss and e?ectively cut thepower consumption of the equipment. Actual production veri?ed that after thetransformation and upgrading, the energy consumption of water electret ovensin each production line was reduced by 15%-20%.

Besides, we draw up annual work plans for Party construction to prevent corruption.The Company ?nds out and identi?es the integrity risks of key positions by self-inspection by the posts, maininspection by the leader, and further professional inspection. We take the utilization of public resources suchas human, financial, and material resources as clues for detecting the institutional defects and managementloopholes that are likely to cause corruption in key positions, possible abuse of power for private gains and lackof supervision that might result from the authorities in di?erent positions. The integrity risks identi?ed in the self-inspection by the posts will be submitted to our Supervisory Audit Department for preliminary examination onceapproved by the department heads after their primary examination, to determine the risk level. Then, organizefurther examination of our professional business, ?nancial and production systems, to ?nally reach conclusionson the risk identi?cation.
