��������������������������� ��������������������������� ��������������������������� ��������������������������� �������������
The Group is pleased to present our 2020 Environmental, Social and Governance Report. Since the acquisition of the subsidiary Beijing Huasheng Taitong Media Investment Co., Ltd. in 2015, the Group has been engaged in the film and television industry for more than five years. Followed by the disposal of the textile business (“Textile Business”) in 2019, we have achieved the overall business transformation and focused on media business (“Media Business”), which is mainly engaged in the production and distribution of films and television dramas in 2020.
��������������������������������� ������������������������������ ��������������������������� ��������������������������� ���������������������������� ��������������������������� ��������������������������� ��������������������������� ��������������������������� ��������������������������� ��������������������������� ��������������������������� ����������
2020 has been an extremely challenging year. Due to the outbreak of a novel coronavirus disease (“COVID-19”) related pneumonia (the “COVID-19 pandemic” or the “Epidemic”), all cinemas in China were forced to suspend their business operations temporarily starting from January 2020, and the resumption of business operations were repeatedly postponed until the end of July 2020 when certain cinemas in low-risk areas gradually resumed their business operations provided that there would be effective implementation of various preventive and control measures in place. In addition, as the gathering of crew members for filming of movies and television dramas might render the prevention and control of the Epidemic to be less effective, the filming progress in the first half of 2020 were mostly suspended regardless of whether it has already been started or not. Accordingly, this has causes adverse impact to the Group’s operation in the first half of 2020: the distribution of two of the Group’s dramas was affected, the commencement of production of six of the dramas were temporarily postponed, and the post-production of ten dramas was affected by the staffs’ inability to return to their posts. Although the Group’s Media Business resumed production in the second half of 2020, the disruptive impact on the promotion, filming and post-production of TV dramas in the first half of the 2020 put certain pressure on the Group’s operations.
��������������������������� ��������������������������� ��������������������������� ��������������������������� ��������������������������� �����������
Pressure can be a strong motivating force. In order to achieve the long-term sustainability and development and to obtain better return for our shareholders, the Group is constantly exploring various means and new markets to present the content of our works. In 2021, the Group will continue to seek better investment opportunities, adjust the Group’s investment direction and product structure in accordance with the demands of the media market, and explore new areas on the premise that the production quality of the existing films and television dramas of the Group is maintained in order to achieve long-term sustainable development of the Group.
��������������������������� ��������������������������� ��������������������������� ��������������������������� ��������������������������� ��������������������������� ���
Although the year 2020 has been full of challenges, the Group has continued to improve its management on ESG matters and integrate ESG-related concepts into its daily operations. We strictly comply with the requirements of laws and regulations, as well as emphasize on compliance and ensure the quality of our products. We care for our employees so that we strive to protect their health and safety, and at the same time value their development and growth. The Group implements green office practices with the view to protect the environment and contribute to the promotion of green and low-carbon work environment. We are enthusiastic about the public welfare and actively seek ways to contribute to the community for building a better society with shared values.
Finally, I would like to take this opportunity to express my deepest gratitude to the Board, shareholders, customers, employees and other stakeholders of the Group for their support and contributions.

The Group engaged a third-party advisory agency to conduct the stakeholder questionnaire survey to collect stakeholders’ feedbacks on the Group’s sustainable development issues and to understand how much importance they attach to different issues when assessing the social and environmental issues separately. The survey results were based on materiality analysis from two dimensions: the materiality of issues to the Group and the materiality of issues to stakeholders, and we finalized two materiality matrixes for environmental and social issues.
During the Reporting Period, we reviewed and conducted internal assessment based on the materiality matrixes in 2019. Having re-visited the materiality matrix during the Reporting Period, we confirmed the following six issues as “highly material” for the Group’s sustainable development: occupational health and safety, compliance with labor laws and regulations, product responsibility, employee development and training, employment management and intellectual property.

For major projects that are under our control, Starrise Media implements standardized management and quality control throughout ten stages: pre-development, planning and filing, creative team building, financing, filming, post-production, submitting for approval, distribution, capital returning and revenue sharing. For investment projects, before investing a film or television production, the relevant departments must systematically analyze the investment plan, including a rigorous review of the production and distribution budget, filming plans, estimated releasing dates, the list of creators and other materials, as well as assessing the risk of non-approval, artistic value, reputation of partners and other aspects so as to strictly control the quality of the invested work. In addition, Starrise Media has established the Rules and Regulations for the Management of the Cast and Crew to regulate the filming process to ensure that crew members comply with related laws and complete the filming work efficiently with high quality.

The Group highly emphasizes the protection of customers’ privacy. In the Employee Code of Conduct , we strictly stipulate the confidentiality regulation, specifying the department that manages customer information, the way of data acquisition and authorization procedure, and the appropriate confidentiality measures to be taken by employees. At the same time, it is required that staff should sign the Staff Confidentiality Agreement while signing the Labor Contract in order to regulate the staff behavior and ensure that customer information is properly kept. In addition, in order to prevent the disclosure of customer information in the process of external cooperation or business activities, we require any party involved to sign a Confidentiality Agreement prior to the disclosure of relevant customer information.
The Group is constantly exploring new ways of presenting the content of its works and actively exploring new markets. In the face of the new challenges brought about by the highly-popular variety shows and short-videos impacting the market size of traditional television drama , the Group will continue strive to identify better investment opportunities and adjust our investment direction and product structure according to the demands of the media market, and explore new markets on the premise that the production quality of the existing films and television dramas of the Group is maintained in order to achieve the long-term sustainable development of the Group.

It is particularly important for us to protect the IP rights of our own media works from infringement and to avoid violating the IP rights of others. The Group strictly complies with the Copyright Law of the People’s Republic of China and other relevant laws and regulations, and has put in place a series of control measures relating to IP rights. During the Reporting Period, there was no violation of IP laws and regulations within the Group.
The Group is exposed to IP risks mainly from two aspects. The first is the risk of infringement regarding the source of the film and television project, including whether the script is original, whether the film and television adaptation rights have been obtained, whether there is plagiarism during the creation of the screenplay, and whether the music in the film infringed any IP. On the one hand, we protect our legal rights by signing confidentiality agreements with IP creators and conducting background checks on them. On the other hand, we reduce the risk of infringement by conducting public online search and confirming the copyrights are properly authorized to be used by us. Another risk we face is the risk of infringement of our work by others. Similarly, we protect our legal rights by signing confidentiality agreements with all individuals and suppliers involved in all aspects of the production. In addition, we maintain strict control over the materials involved in each stage to reduce the risk of leakage of copyrights. After releasing of our products, we assign people to be in charge of searching for piracy links on the Internet and making reports and complaints, and to take legal action against piracy that may bring us greater losses.

Building a sustainable supply chain is essential for us to safeguard and enhance the quality of our products and services. The Group believes that improving supply chain management not only helps us reduce procurement costs, optimize product and service quality and enhance customer satisfaction, but also facilitates environmental and social risks in the supply chain to be identified at an early stage and helps suppliers to fulfill their environmental and social responsibilities.

The Group has established fair and transparent processes for the entry, selection and daily management of suppliers. We require suppliers to comply with laws and regulations related to environmental protection, actively advocate suppliers to identify environmental and social risks of their own operations, and fulfill their responsibilities related to sustainable development. We promote green procurement policy and consider the environmental and social performance of suppliers as one of the key selection criteria. In addition, the environmental and social performances of suppliers are also significant part of our supplier evaluation.

The Group adheres to sustainable development concept and seeks for harmonious development of the environment, resources, society, corporate and people. We strictly comply with the requirements of national laws and regulations such as the Environmental Protection Law of the People’s Republic of China and the Energy Conservation Law of the People’s Republic of China, and have formulated a number of management measures to save energy and reduce emissions. We require our employees to comply with the laws and regulations regarding environmental protection and advocate that they take the responsibility of building a conservation-oriented society and promoting sustainable development, and take practical steps themselves to reduce resource consumption and improve resourceutilization efficiency. At the same time, we also strive to reduce the impact of our operations on the environment through green office practices. During the Reporting Period, the Group did not violate any environmental-related laws and regulations that have a significant impact.
������������������������������������� ������������������������������������� ������������������������������������� ������������������������������������� ��������������������������������������
Our major business is the production and distribution of films and television dramas and does not produce a large number of products in physical form. Therefore, the Group does not use or consume large quantities of packaging materials. Due to the nature of our business, we do not cause significant pollution or impact on the environment and natural resources. The Group also proactively takes various measures to reduce the impact of its operations on the environment. For example, after shooting, the production team requires the crew to clean up the shooting site in time followed up classifying and recycling garbage in accordance with the relevant requirements in the shooting area, and to ensure minimal human impacts on the natural environment.

The resources consumed by the Group mainly include water and electricity.

With respect to the use of water resources and electricity, we have formulated the Rules and Regulations for the Management of the Cast and Crew , which stipulates that the crew should conserve water and electricity during filming. We actively promote the green office policy that requires the employees to turn off the power when the room is empty, avoid wastage of water whenever applicable, and replace all office lighting with LED energy-saving lamps. We keep encouraging to maintain the indoor air conditioning temperature at 25°C in summer, ensuring that employees turn off the power or switch to energy-saving mode when they are not using computers and other electrical appliances, and posting energy and water-saving signs to remind everyone the importance of energy conservation.

We promote environmental protection awareness within the Group and encourage our employees to participate in environmental protection-related activities, take public transportation more frequently, reduce carbon emissions and environmental impact from daily life, and actively contribute to energy saving and emission reduction.
We do not possess and control any vehicles and we also do not have any production plants that consume energy. Therefore, the Group had no emission of atmospheric pollutants during the Reporting Period. The primary solid wastes generated by the Group are office and domestic wastes. In accordance with the relevant laws and regulations, the Group requires wastes to be classified and recycled in the office area, which will be collected and disposed by the property manager. Hazardous office wastes generated from daily administrative work, such as waste ink cartridges and toner cartridges, are handed over to the qualified third parties for disposal in a collective manner. Due to the small amount of hazardous waste, it is not disclosed in this report. We actively adopt multiple measures to reduce emissions from the source in our daily operations. We advocate paperless office practices, online working and electronic filing. We also encourage employees to print on both sides of paper as much as possible, and recycle waste papers. We provide employees with food heating equipment and encourage them to use less disposable tableware by bringing their own. In addition, we encourage the employees to use less disposable items such as paper cups.
