Energy Consumption
The Group sets up energy-saving leading groups, which are responsible for formulating energy-saving targets and plans and achieving energy-saving and carbon emission reduction targets by introducing new energy-saving equipment, optimizing power supply mode and eliminating high energy consumption or old equipment. While perfecting the environmental management system and rules, we also pay attention to the education, training, and supervision of green culture. We publicize the objectives and requirements of environmental management to all employees through the bulletin board, WeChat official account, and online and offline trainings to improve employees’ environmental awareness. It makes employees understand the impact of their work on the environment as well as the risks and consequences of not complying with laws, regulations and the relevant policies.

Sunny Automotive Optech has formulated the Regulations on the Administration of Energy and Resources (《能源資源管理規定》), which singly makes refinements on the consumption of raw materials, ancillary materials, water, electricity, paper, etc. and specifies the duties and responsibilities of the production management department, the procurement department and
other departments. To ensure the effective and efficient use of energy and resources, Sunny Zhejiang Optics has formulated the Control Procedures for Energy and Resources (《能源資源控制程序》), which specifies the specific management responsibilities of each department and provides detailed instructions on the use of raw materials, auxiliary materials, water, electricity and
fuel as well as the procurement of production equipment. Meanwhile, we continuously improve the value traceability system during production and operation to achieve all-round management and control on the procurement, use and recycling of resources and energy.

During the Reporting Period, Sunny Zhejiang Optics, Sunny Opotech and Sunny Optical Intelligence (Yuyao) reduced a total of 63,457.4 tonnes of carbon through the purchase of green electricity. In addition to the improvement of energy structure, in order to provide a refined management of energy usage, we introduced an energy management platform during the Reporting Period, which now enables real-time monitoring of electricity consumption data of each building in the new base, helping the Group to better improve the energy efficiency of power-intensive equipment and thus ensure the safe operation of power distribution facilities. In addition, the platform can simultaneously provide carbon emission conversion data and provide early warning management of the total energy consumption, energy intensity, carbon emission and carbon intensity budget and target, helping the Group to achieve the greenhouse gas emission reduction target and the goals of carbon peak and carbon neutrality. We also plan to invest in the deployment of photovoltaic power generation facilities in our plants to facilitate the transformation of our energy mix.
