Chairman's Statement
2025 is a year full of challenges and opportunities, and it is also the first year for the Company to publish a sustainable development report. Since its establishment, the Company has always adhered to fulfilling social responsibilities and improving corporate governance while deepening the concept of sustainable development in its operations. Letting all sectors understand the Company's continuous efforts in ESG is not only a business necessity but also a commitment and responsibility to shareholders, partners, customers, employees, and other stakeholders.
We adhere to cost leadership through the integrated industrial ecosystem construction of "resources - precursors - cathode materials - recycling," connecting the industrial layout from upstream phosphate resources to battery recycling, achieving cost reduction and efficiency enhancement. At the same time, further large-scale, automated equipment and continuous innovation have improved the capacity efficiency of key equipment, significantly reducing the energy consumption per unit product of phosphate cathode materials, steadily increasing market competitiveness.
