MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIRMAN
As a major strategy for China’s economic and social development,
developing a circular economy serves as an important path towards the
promotion of carbon peaking and carbon neutrality, a meaningful way to
advance the building of an ecological civilization, and a significant route
to deliver high-level environmental protection. China’s “14th Five-Year”
Plan has been focusing on carbon peaking and carbon neutrality. During
the implementation of this plan, the environmental governance policies
have remained potent, a heavyweight train of environmental protection ( )
policies has been successively issued, and the country has steered the
emphasis of its ecological and environmental protection from “pollution
reduction” to “carbon reduction” in the new stage. The Report to the
20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China (the “Party”)
has presented a series of new philosophies, thoughts, and strategies
for ecological conservation and environmental protection. Therefore,
the environmental protection industry still has the potential for great
growth. To realize the strategic goal of developing a green and low-
carbon circular economy, enterprises are required to comprehensively
enhance solid waste governance systems and capabilities and meet
higher standards for upcoming operation and development.

MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIRMAN
In 2022, the industry witnessed unprecedented difficulties and 2022
challenges facing the hazardous waste treatment industry due to
various factors such as the economic situations at home and abroad,
reduced production by industries, and intra-industry competition.
However, it is anticipated that the capacity for recycling and disposing
of hazardous waste will be guaranteed, as the institutions and
mechanisms for hazardous waste supervision will be further improved
thanks to the release of the Reform Implementation Plan to Strengthen
the Supervision over and the Capacity for Recycling and Disposing
of Hazardous Waste. Besides, with the economic recovery and the
ongoing progress of industrialization, the generation of solid waste
and hazardous waste will gradually rebound and steadily grow, it is
expected that the future rivalry among industry peers will be eased
bit by bit, and the landscape of the hazardous waste disposal industry
will be reshaped. As one of the first players in the industry, Dongjiang
Environmental has been striving to build a domestically leading
flagship enterprise rendering comprehensive environmental protection ESG
services. Dongjiang Environmental has been committed to bolstering
its core, principal business of hazardous waste treatment and impelling
industrial upgrading through technological innovation to achieve
“resource recycling”, while endeavoring to assist in the Company’s
high quality development through reinforcing its principal business and
exploring new businesses. At the same time, dedicated to promoting
environmental protection, Dongjiang Environmental will continue to
adopt ESG practices and turn related strategies into actions in its
operation and development.
Dongjiang Environmental has been hewing to the principles of
reduction, recycling, and harmlessness for waste treatment while
tirelessly introducing and developing new technologies and processes
for waste treatment and disposal. Besides, it has been committed to
creating an eco-friendly, healthy, and safe working environment for
ensuring the safety and sustainable development of the Company
and forming a harmonious and win-win relationship with the society
and the environment. Conforming to the principles of “energy
saving, consumption reduction, pollution reduction, and efficiency
enhancement”, the Group has constantly adopted production methods
with less pollution, low cost, and high efficiency, as well as new
processes and technologies for clean production. We organize publicity
and education campaigns on environmental protection days such as
World Environment Day, Earth Day, and World Water Day. On these
days, through environmental protection campaigns for public interests,
voluntary tree planting campaigns, and waste battery recycling
campaigns, we spread kinds of environmental protection knowledge to
employees, which plays a positive role in promoting the philosophies of
environmental protection.

Case of R&D in pollution prevention and control
during the Year: Cooperation to treat nitrate
nitrogen in wastewater
Kunshan Treatment, a subsidiary of Dongjiang Environmental, introduced the biological denitrification
technology through the cooperation with Tsinghua University to treat nitrate nitrogen in wastewater;
upgraded the evaporation and concentration facilities to improve the capacity of the triple-effect evaporator
to treat high ammonia nitrogen wastewater; additionally, the nano-micro bubble technology was adopted
to oxidize the organic matter in the tail gas, which addressed the odor in tail gas; the plate-and-frame filter
press was upgraded to the compression-type filter press, so the open channel flows produced by the former
filter press were collected through pipe, and the lining of product package was sheathed with plastic film.
These efforts effectively controlled the fugitive emission of waste gas and reduced the pollution to the
environment.
Green Production
Dongjiang Environmental strictly complies with the relevant
standards and requirements of green production, and strives to
reduce carbon emissions, reduce environmental pollution and
conserve natural resources, aiming to continuously promoting

Dongjiang Environmental upholds the principle of safe
development, committed to the belief that people and life matter
most. Focusing on the “Four Zeroes” annual target for safety
and environmental protection, it further promoted the three-year
special rectification campaign for safe production. The Company’s
leadership team and functional departments supervised and 20
inspected over the safe production of 20 units in accordance with
the requirements of “Four Nos, Two Directs” (a method of visiting
or inspecting, in other words, going directly to the grassroots
institutions or the sites with no prior notice, warning, reporting, or
company). Meanwhile, each unit identified and rectified potential
risks according to the requirements of its plan, implementing
closed-loop management through identification, rectification, and
acceptance.
Carrying out the final evaluation on the effectiveness of the three-
year special rectification campaign for safe production
Over the past few years, through efforts made under the
Company’s special plan for safe production - the overall roadmap
of three-year rectification, we have gradually established the safety
risk classification management and control and the identification
and rectification of potential risks. Last year was the stage where
we concentrated our efforts on rectification. During the Year,
the Company organized and carried out the final evaluation on
the effectiveness of the three-year special rectification campaign
for safe production. Based on the principle of “full coverage and
classified implementation” and making the best of the engagement
of the external professionals and the relevant in-house functional

publicity activities such as fire safety knowledge competitions,
firefighting skills competitions, emergency rescue drills, etc.,
which significantly improved the safety awareness of all staff.
At the same time, we cooperated with a subsidiary to develop
the online “mini program of taking pictures of hidden dangers”,
which encouraged all employees to report their safety at any time.
Employees may report the safety and environmental protection
hazards (if any) in the mini program, since we connected with the
“Safe Dongjiang” information system in real-time, achieving the
health working goal of “everyone is a safety officer”.
Strengthening Safety through Science and Technology
During the Reporting Period, the Group further strengthened the
application of information technology in the field of environmental
protection. Through the full-process “digital operation platform”
for hazardous waste, we realized the full-process, comprehensive
and refined management of hazardous waste, and effectively
prevented the occurrence of environmental risks and pollution
accidents.
In the meantime, we continued to optimize the functions of the
“Safe Dongjiang” smart safety and environmental management
platform and expanded the management functions of risk
identification and control, toxic and harmful gas monitoring
and early warning, to achieve the effective evaluation and
classification of various risks. At present, we have formulated
and implemented various preventive measures for risk sources,
and completed the post risk notification card, so as to effectively
control all kinds of risks. We strengthened the application of dual
prevention mechanism in the system platform, and continued
to strengthen the construction of early warning system and
automatic fire extinguishing system. For example, transportation
companies and other cargo transportation enterprises continued
to increase their investment in intelligent monitoring system,
greatly reducing the probability of traffic accidents; Xiongfeng
Environment improved its working environment and reduced
safety and environmental protection and occupational health
risks by upgrading and transforming the equipment, facilities and
sites such as oxygen-rich side-blowing furnace, bismuth refining

safety and environmental protection related training courses for
staff at all levels to learn.
Strengthening supervision and inspection of safety and
environmental protection
During the Year, the Company’s management went to the
grassroots enterprises and the construction sites to carry out
supervision and inspection for more than 70 times. In the second 70
half of the Year, the Company set up working groups responsible
for respective regions, which were led by the leadership team
and attended by the relevant responsible persons of various
departments to carry out regular supervision and inspection of
key enterprises and help enterprises to solve the problems in
safety. We focused on the annual safety and environmental risk
source identification and safety inspection, and carried out special
actions such as housing safety investigation and rectification,
and improvement in hazardous chemical safety management to
constantly strengthen the safety management of construction.
During the Year, based on the domestic production safety situation
and the Company’s production safety reality, we organized all units
to carry out potential safety risk investigation and rectification
actions against workshops without production operation or
abandoned workshops, conducted further detailed analysis of
possible problems and risks of such workshops, so as to carry
out hidden danger investigation and remediation work with clear
targets. Besides, through the implementation of responsibilities,
we took various preventive measures to effectively prevent
and curb the occurrence of accidents. We have organized and
carried out a series of special tasks of safety and environmental
protection, including housing construction, fire protection,
hazardous chemicals, gas, electric bicycles, flood control, special
inspection of safety training, safety publicity in businesses,
villages, communities, schools, and families, and fire prevention
and control in winter and spring, and formulated work plans for
improving the safety management of hazardous waste based on

product and service quality through the establishment of three
i n s p e c t i o n m a n a g e m e n t, j o b m a n a g e m e n t a n d e q u i p m e n t
management systems. First, the Group carries out an inspection
management system that combines the three inspections of self-
inspection, mutual inspection and special inspection by full-time
inspectors, and adopts the three-no policy of “not accepting, not
manufacturing, and not passing on” for defects. We implement
qualification management for key or special positions, and
regularly train and assess operators, and only those who pass the
assessment are given qualifications. Besides, we have established
an all-round management mechanism for all equipment, and
required the person in charge of the daily management of the
equipment to formulate operation manual and maintenance
manual of the equipment, to ensure the proper treatment of waste,
stability and accuracy of resource product production equipment,
and product and service quality.
Final Product Quality inspection and Shipment Management
According to relevant technical standards and documents, the
Quality Technology Department of each subsidiary inspects and
verifies the structure, configuration, performance indicators,
identification and packaging of the final products one by one, and
confirms that the finished products fully meet the product quality
technical requirements. The storage procedures can be handled
only after the products have passed the inspection.
When the products are put into storage, the warehouse clerk
arranges them according to their varieties and qualities, and makes
corresponding signs. When the finished products are shipped out
of the warehouse, the Sales Department sends the approved “sales
notice” to the warehouse management office, and the warehouse
clerk prepares the goods according to the grade and weight of the
finished product indicated on the “sales notice”, and informs the
relevant departments to load the truck. During the loading process,
the warehouse clerk counts the quantity of each batch of finished
products, and strictly checks the standard weight of the finished
products with the actual weight after weighing. The completion of
the shipment is then confirmed by the salesman’s signature.
