In 2023, Snibe gradually subdivided overseas markets and implemented regional management mode, with independent marketing,
after-sales, market, and business for each region. Product sales and after-sales personnel are better connected to improve the
regional product and service performance. More foreign technical service personnel were recruited to ensure timely response to
the urgent needs of distributors and end customers. The Indian market, for example, has foreign technical service personnel in 14
different cities. With a service radius of 600 kilometers, the technical service personnel can provide on-site service within 24 hours,
which greatly enhanced after-sales satisfaction.
As we expand our product lines, the number of overseas channels is also expanding in terms of both breadth and depth to bring
quality products and services to more customers across the world. With two overseas subsidiaries newly founded in Saudi Arabia
and Indonesia, we have now branches in 10 countries outside China. By recruiting local employees and applying for product
circulation licenses, overseas subsidiaries boost localized operation for more meticulous and comprehensive market coverage and

Employee promotion
Diverse promotion and development paths
Snibe respects the career direction of every employee. To "make the best use of talents", we set up clear and detailed promotion
channels for employees with a series of clear internal promotion systems, including the "Rank Management Measures", "Rank
Promotion Management Measures for Reagent R&D Personnel", "Technical Grade Evaluation Measures for Engineers in Domestic
and Foreign Technical Service Departments", "Rank Promotion Management Measures for Product Managers in Domestic
Marketing Departments", etc. At the same time, the Rank Evaluation Committee, the highest authority for rank promotion and
development, has been established to ensure fair, reasonable, scientific, and compliant selection. We set two career paths of
management and professional technology to exploit employees' competitiveness in technology, expertise, and management skills,
which guide employees to leverage their own edges in enhancing professional skills and overall competitiveness. In 2023, 100% of
employees have received year-end performance appraisals.

① Direct emissions (Scope 1) encompass emissions directly generated by the Company through the consumption of fossil fuels, including gasoline, diesel, and natural gas. Indirect emissions (Scope 2)
include emissions resulting from the consumption of purchased electricity by the Company. Total emissions represent the aggregate of direct and indirect emissions. The accounting methodology
for grid emission factors primarily references the national power grid emission factors outlined in the "Notice on Enhancing Key Tasks in Greenhouse Gas Emission Reporting Management for
Enterprises in 2022", issued by the Ministry of Ecology and Environment of the People's Republic of China on Mar. 15, 2022. Additionally, calorific value coefficients and emission factors for other
