On February 7, Forbes China released the "2022 Forbes China's Top 50 Sustainable Development Industrial Enterprises" list, in which STL was selected. It is reported that this is the first time that Forbes China has launched the "Top 50 Sustainable Development Industrial Enterprises" evaluation activity. This evaluation includes criteria from five dimensions: management system, technological innovation, comprehensive benefits, resource allocation, and demonstration and promotion.
In recent years, the pace of high-end, intelligent and green development of industry and manufacturing has gradually been accelerating. New concepts such as green manufacturing, carbon neutrality, sustainable development and ESG have become the standard of most manufacturing enterprises. Green and low-carbon transformation is not a challenge, but a new opportunity and new outlet. Industry will become a "test ground" for carbon-related technologies such as carbon footprint, carbon trading, carbon capture, utilization and storage, as well as green talents, green supply chain and circular economy, promoteingall industries to move towards a new era of sustainable development.
Forbes said in the list that the selected enterprises set a benchmark for China's industrial enterprises and are industrial enterprises with a profound foothold and outstanding achievements in sustainable development. As the largest comprehensive utilization enterprise of green and low-carbon raw materials in China, STL actively responds to the national "double carbon" policy, closely focusing on the concept of green environmental protection and sustainable development. STL takes the lead in the "carbon" cable industry chain emission reduction technology from the source, process and end, actively promotes green power procurement, explores new processes and technologies such as hydrogen energy storage, nitrogen utilization and synthetic liquid ammonia, and gives full play to the advantages of green process from raw material end to new materials And promotes the realization of the goal that carbon peak and carbon neutralization can reduce carbon emissions by about 20 million tons per year.
Guided by the national strategic demand, STL has thoroughly implemented the innovation-driven development strategy, and subsequentially the R&D expenses in the first half of 2022 increased by 72.56% year-on-year. By focusing on "leading technology" and "leading management", STL build a first-class scientific research platform, build a low-carbon chemical new material science and technology innovation system, and accelerated the pace of achieving high-level technology self-reliance.
In the future, STL will continue to explore new opportunities for green growth in the chemical industry, adhere to the use of green and low-carbon raw materials to manufacture green chemical new materials, actively respond to global climate and environmental problems, strive to fulfill our mission that "chemicals make life better", and jointly create a future of sustainable development for mankind.
