Chairperson's Message
Dear partners, investors, and respected members of the community,
Newland upholds its mission of "Technological Innovation for the Benefit of Humanity", and deeply integrates sustainability into the core of its strategy. Aligning with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs) and mainstream ESG standards, we have built a sustainability framework around four key strategies, fulfilling our broad responsibilities toward the environment, employees, and society.
We use frontier technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) to drive innovation in products and services, and continuously deploy innovative solutions to advance the digital upgrading of industries. We are building an ecosystem that attracts, nurtures, and incentivises outstanding talent, and creating a safe, healthy, and inclusive workplace. Furthermore, we integrate environmental management into the entire operational process, implement a series of measures for energy saving, water conservation, waste reduction, and resource recycling, and enhance resource utilisation efficiency in our operations. Through our technological capabilities, we empower industrial and community development, actively giving back to society and creating shared value.
Looking ahead, Newland will proactively elevate its strategic approach to drive long-term ESG development and strengthen the foundation for sustainable growth. We will further enhance ESG's strategic role by embedding its principles throughout our overall development plan, with the Board of Directors' oversight and guidance reinforced and core ESG objectives and performance indicators included in our evaluation system to drive a practical integration of sustainable practices across all operations. By partnering with diverse stakeholders, we aim to cultivate a mutually beneficial ecosystem and exemplify our role as a technology company in meeting the responsibilities of the times.
