The ESG rating report of China Jushi was recently released by Wind, a leading domestic ESG rating agency in China, where the company's ESG rating jumped from BBB to AA, with its overall score ranking first on the building materials industry list.

The overall rating score comprises the ESG management practices score (covering environmental, social, and governance aspects) and the controversy incidents score. While aligning with internationally mainstream ESG frameworks, the methodology of this rating also fully considers the current state of China's capital market, regulatory policies, and the specific ESG practices of Chinese enterprises.

Over more than three decades of development, China Jushi has integrated ESG principles in all aspects and processes of its production and operations, continuously improving ESG management model and striving to build new competitive advantages. In fulfilling the ESG practices, Jushi also actively promotes its ESG brand and standardizes information disclosure. This year, the company further enhanced its report compilation, strengthened ESG training, and cultivated its ESG management brand. Over the past six months, our performance in handling controversy incidents outperformed the industry average, achieving a perfect score.

As a key reference for stakeholders to assess Jushi's long-term value creation, ESG has become a common language for the company to integrate into the international market. Looking forward, Jushi will persistently leverage ESG as a tool for long-term corporate value creation and contribute to the sustainable development of the industry.
