1. Environmental Protection Management
Environmental protection is a basic social responsibility of enterprises and also an explicit requirement of the state laws and regulations. We aspire to continuously reduce the impact on the environment and natural resources by minimizing energy consumption, saving resources, and using eco-friendly raw materials, sophisticated energy-saving and environment-friendly equipment, with the hope of fostering a resource-efficient and environment-friendly enterprise. To achieve this objective, we continuously implement the following environmental management initiatives:

Planning and implementing strict environmental protection measures, and promoting energy saving and emission reduction projects;

Practicing clean production and promoting continuous improvement of environmental management programs based on ISO14001 Environmental Management System;

Carrying out sorted collection and recycling of waste (liquid, gas and solid waste) to ensure that the waste is properly handled throughout the process from generation, transportation, storage and disposal;

Continuous monitoring of environmental pollutants discharged and health hazards, and regular monitoring and releasing of monitoring results;

Establishing a green product management system to offer more advanced and eco-friendly products to our customers and the society based on QC080000 Hazardous Substance Process Management System.

1.1 Pollutant emission control

We endeavor to reduce pollutant emission by employing state-of-the-art pollutant disposal and control technology and implementing whole-process pollutant control. Since the establishment of the Company, the pollutant emission concentration has always been controlled at a low level within the standard requirements of national laws and regulations.

1.2 Energy consumption control

XMC implemented three rounds of clean production audit from 2009 to 2020. It passed the first round of clean production audit in October 2010 and the third round of clean production audit in September 2020. From 2009 to 2020, XMC has implemented 79 clean production programs, continuously attaining the clean production audit targets published by the government. XMC has continuously discharged its responsibility as an energy-efficient entity by strengthening energy conservation measures and improving energy efficiency. We completed the targets of "double control" of total energy consumption and energy intensity for the “13th Five-Year Plan” period published by the government every year from 2015 to 2020. XMC will continue to practice energy-efficient strategies and improve the energy-using environment to achieve win-win for both the Company and the society.

1.3 Hazardous substance control

XMC pays close attention to the control of hazardous substances in products, has established and implemented the hazardous substances process management system, and attained QC080000 certification. Backed by green supplier evaluation mechanism and hazardous substance risk and opportunity assessment initiatives, we manage to control hazardous substances from the source and put them under strict control throughout the production, and implement whole-process management of hazardous substances internally and externally, so that the products can meet the domestic and international hazardous substance control standards and are more sophisticated and eco-friendly.

2. Safety and Occupational Health Management
XMC is committed to boosting the development of its safety and occupational health to the maximum extent and creating a safe and healthful workplace for employees. With the goal of "zero work safety accidents" and ISO45001 Occupational Health and Safety Management System in place, we have established a whole-process management system to continuously mitigate safety and health risks and protect employees' life safety and health:

Establishing and implementing a work safety responsibility system to clearly define the responsibilities of each department and role for work safety and conduct regular assessments;

Developing a classified risk management system to execute major management for key risks in key areas;

Promoting the concept of ownership advocating “Work for the Company like for Home”, facilitating autonomous management of each production unit, setting up the role of departmental safety officer and “responsibility fields”, and driving total involvement in the investigation and control of safety hazards;

Establishing a well-designed safety and occupational health training system to improve employees' safety awareness and knowledge;

Implementing the independent safety management of contractors and establishing a hierarchical management system and blacklist system for contractors;

Setting up a 24-hour emergency response center and fire control room, professional emergency response team and equipment materials, complete life safety monitoring system;

Continuing to improve the on-site handling capabilities of the emergency response team, including continuous improvement of disposal plans and emergency drills;

Establishing a ESH committee, developing a safety "zero tolerance" system, safety and occupational health-related rewards and punishment systems, continuing to regulate personnel behavior and promote the company to improve safety and occupational health risks.
