Committed to Safety
All nuclear power stations under CGN Power’s management are located in China. In terms of safety, we abide by the relevant national laws and regulations on the nuclear power industry and electricity industry, including the Regulations on Civil Nuclear Facility Safety Supervision and Administration of the People’s Republic of China, the Regulations of Site Selection for Nuclear Power Plants, the Safety Requirements for Nuclear Power Station Operation, the Electric Power Law of the People’s Republic of China, etc., as shown in the section headed "Regulatory Environment" of the prospectus released by the Company on November 27, 2014.
We attach high importance to the first domestic nuclear safety law — the Nuclear Safety Law of the People's Republic of China (the “Nuclear Safety Law”). We participated in the whole compilation work of the Nuclear Safety Law and contributed our comments and suggestions based on our long-time accumulated practical experience. On September 1, 2017, the Nuclear Safety Law was deliberated and approved in the twenty-ninth meeting of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress, and came into force on January 1, 2018. As the top-level law in stipulating the basic mechanism of safety management, the Nuclear Safety Law integrates and implements the overall national security outlook and establishes a highly-strict system of nuclear safety standards, providing a solid legal protection for the durable security and healthy development of nuclear energy. After the Nuclear Safety Law was approved, the Company and all nuclear power stations actively arranged learning, promotion and implementation, including proactively inviting leaders from the Ministry of Environmental Protection and relevant experts to interpret and promote the Nuclear Safety Law, deeply analyze and study the new requirements stipulated in this law on nuclear safety management. In 2018, we will continue to carry out various learning activities and optimize nuclear safety management system to improve the nuclear safety management level and ability. The requirements in Nuclear Safety Law will be also implemented strictly in the construction of nuclear power projects and the safe and stable operation of nuclear power units, so as to ensure legal compliance in both construction and operation of nuclear power stations.
Nuclear safety is the bedrock for the nuclear power industry. Whether in the project construction stage or in the production and operation stage, we always attach the greatest importance to nuclear safety and continuously improve the safety level in nuclear power project construction and nuclear power stations’ operation.
Taking Safety as Basis
CGN Power is always taking nuclear safety as its primary responsibility, the principles of “Nuclear Safety is Paramount” and “Safety First” are applied to various stages of design, construction, operation and even decommissioning of the nuclear power stations. Based on our experience over years, we have established an effective safety management system in nuclear safety management, nuclear safety culture, safety supervision, experience feedback, emergency response and disposal, so as to realize the goal of “everyone is a barrier”. For more details on the safety management system, please see the chapter headed “Production Capital” of the 2017 Annual Report.
==> picture [398 x 82] intentionally omitted <==

CGN Power Co., Ltd. 2017 Environmental, Social and Governance Report
In 2017, we continuously optimized nuclear safety culture development, internal and external safety supervision, experience feedback, emergency response, disposal and so on. During the whole year of 2017, there was no nuclear incident graded at level 2 or above as defined by the International Atomic Energy Agency in the International Nuclear Event Scale (INES). For more details on the safety performance of our nuclear power stations, please see the Business Performance and Outlook section of the 2017 Annual Report. In this section, we mainly focus on the Company's achievements in occupational safety management in 2017.
We always attach importance to safety events which happen at work. Besides proper placement of relevant personnel, we thoroughly investigate and analyze the root cause for the incident, and then disseminate the information among our nuclear power stations to enhance safety awareness of our employees and contractors. In addition, we also implement a series of measures to strengthen safety management and prevent the recurrence of similar events. In 2017, the Company continued to maintain good performance in occupational safety and health, realizing “zero deaths, zero severe injuries and zero fire accidents”. In this year, the lost working day of CGN Power employees due to work injury was zero.

Taking Quality as Safeguard
Good quality today means safety tomorrow. Insisting on high standards and rigorous requirements, we strive to achieve compliance with quality requirements in each engineering construction task; and to realize timely detection, accurate qualitative analysis, rapid treatment and prompt feedback of quality issues.
Efficient Engineering Construction with High Quality
We conscientiously implement relevant national laws and regulations and technical requirements on nuclear power project construction, and always adhere to the principle of “Safety First, Quality Foremost, Pursuit of Excellence”. With well-organized engineering construction, we spare no effort to guarantee project quality, thereby laying the foundation for safe and stable operation of our nuclear power stations.
In order to improve the safety level of nuclear power projects, we formulated and implemented the Zero Defect Scheme for Safety Management in recent years. Based on construction of international benchmarking on safety and team building, we realized and maintained a continuous improvement with four tools (risk analysis, work package,
19
CGN Power Co., Ltd. 2017 Environmental, Social and Governance Report
work briefing and human error prevention) through three ways (zero defect team, potential hazard identification and behavioral improvement) on safety performance of nuclear power projects internationally and domestically.
==> picture [404 x 275] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [133 x 92] intentionally omitted <==
Equipment maintenance is composed of routine maintenance and refueling outages. Based on the design of pressurised water reactor NPPs, the nuclear reactor of each unit in operation must be shut down and refuelled after a certain period of time. Taking the safety and economic considerations for NPPs into account, nuclear power operators often make use of the refuelling period to intensively conduct preventive and corrective maintenance projects as well as various modifications projects, and this is usually referred to as a refuelling outage by NPPs. The increase of generating units in operation has gradually increased the number of refueling outages every year. To meet the outage demand, we have uniformly planned, and rationally deployed outage personnel to outage activities. Meanwhile, the equipment of nuclear power stations has been systemized and analyzed, and equipment abnormalities tracked to ensure an orderly-arranged outage management.
In 2017, we successfully carried out 13 refueling outages and completed 12 refueling outages, which included 5 first-time outages and 1 cross-year outage that was completed in January 2018.

Strict Implementation of Codes of Conduct
Human error is an important factor that results in safety issues. In order to regulate human operation, we have continuously enhanced the professional skill training for employees and implemented the accountability system, thereby ensuring that each operation is conducted in accordance with procedures.
Human Error Prevention Measures
A pre-job meeting is a job preparation meeting to define the purpose and procedures of operation before a field operation or a change of equipment status and certain other important project activities. For an operation to be completed by over two persons, the operation supervisor must hold a pre-job meeting as close as possible to the start of Pre-job field operations. meeting The STAR is a primary human error-prevention tool before the execution of major operational activities. The STAR, short for STOP, THINK, ACT and REVIEW, requires us to stop to focus on the job on hand; think about what to do, how to make a plan and how to cope with an accident; complete the job as planned; and review the results against our expectations. Essentially speaking, the STAR is to stop in case of uncertainties or STAR inconsistency with expectations. Operations that may result in serious consequences in case of errors must be supervised. The operator, supervisor and supervision point must be clarified first. Before Supervised the operation, the operator shall describe the operational instructions and point to the operation equipment. The operator shall not operate before the supervisor confirms the equipment being pointed to verifies the instructions, and gives consent. An effective communication approach implemented by nuclear power stations, the three-stage communication requires the deliverer to state the receiver's name and Three-stage clearly and accurately deliver the instructions or information to the receiver; the receivcommunicaer explains and repeats the information received to the deliverer; the deliverer confirms tion the completeness of the repeated information and actions can be taken upon provision of the correct information. The key to three-stage communication is to clarify doubts in a timely manner.

“Green” the World
Our commitment to social responsibility is to continue to provide safe, reliable, clean and economical power for the society and to strive for a bluer sky and clearer water, which has also been the cornerstone for our sustainable development. At the 19[th] National Congress of the Communist Party of China (the “19[th] National Congress”) held in 2017, China incorporated “ensuring harmony between human and nature” in the basic strategy of socialism with Chinese characteristics for a new era and emphasized the promotion of green development and the development of clean energy industry. We believe that the safe, stable, clean and efficient nuclear energy plays an active role in the building of ecological civilization. In the meantime of developing nuclear power, we strictly manage the emission reduction links and enhance the efficiency of resource utilization.
CGN Power strictly implements the national and local environmental laws and regulations, including the Environmental Protection Law of the People’s Republic of China, the Water Law of the People’s Republic of China, the Law of the People’s Republic of China on Environmental Impact Assessment, the Atmospheric Pollution Prevention and Control Law of the People’s Republic of China, the Marine Environment Protection Law of the People’s Republic of China and so on.
We implement comprehensive environmental management to our nuclear power stations, focusing on the protection of local atmosphere, water quality, soil and landform, to conserve natural biological habitats and biodiversity. Throughout the stages of site selection, feasibility study, construction and operation of nuclear power stations, relevant national environmental protection laws and regulations and related requirements are strictly implemented. We submit the environmental impact reports in accordance with the laws and are subject to the supervision of the national and local environmental protection authorities consciously.
==> picture [32 x 65] intentionally omitted <==
We have formulated an environmental management system that is applicable to the Group. It specified the environmental policy of “compliance with regulations, safe operation, pollution prevention and continuous improvement”. Each nuclear power station had set up a special environmental protection management department with professional environmental protection personnel to formulate and improve the environmental management system. The operating nuclear power stations we manage have all obtained the ISO14001 environmental management system certifications. Every year, we release environmental management goals and indicators, identify and evaluate various environmental factors and formulate corresponding control and improvement plans.

Effective External Oversight
As required by National Monitoring Plan of Radioactive Environment, and Technical Specifications of Radioactive Environmental Monitoring (HJ/T 61-2001), the Ministry of Environmental Protection has monitored the surrounding radioactive environment of nuclear power stations. The monitoring results in 2017 indicated that the absorbed dose rate in air measured in the surrounding areas of Nuclear Power Base in operation in China were within the local natural background fluctuation range. The activity and concentration of radionuclides in such environmental media as water, soil and organisms around the nuclear power stations remained the same as previous years, and no impact was found on the environment and public health.
Daya Bay Nuclear Power Base is close to Hong Kong. In order to monitor the long-term changes in the radiation level of the environment, the Hong Kong observatory has set up 12 radiation monitoring stations to continuously measure the environmental γ radiation level of Hong Kong 24 hours a day and release the data to the Hong Kong citizens. Years of monitoring results indicated that there has been no increase of artificial radionuclides within Hong Kong since the operation of Daya Bay Nuclear Power Station.
Persistent Protection of Ecosystem
We are fully aware of the need to conserve ecosystem and are committed to reducing the impact on biodiversity. From the beginning of site selection, planning and design of nuclear power stations, we excluded areas with high biodiversity. During the construction and operation processes, we conducted measures such as ecological restoration, investigation and research of habitats and formulated measures for the protection of animals and plants, thereby to protect biodiversity.

We actively work to improve the working environment and provide our employees with health education and training; this better allows employees to fulfill their personal values and to achieve their career development goals in a warm, healthy and positive working environment.
Protecting Employees’ Rights
We strictly abide by the laws and regulations such as the Company Law of the People’s Republic of China, the Labour Law of the People’s Republic of China and the Contract Law of the People’s Republic of China; and formulated the employee’s management systems such as the Labour and Employment Management System of CGN Power and the Recruitment and Deployment Management System of CGN Power in accordance with the above laws and regulations. We ensure each and every employee or candidate is equally treated regardless of their race, colour, gender or age. Prior to an employment interview, candidates’ ID card, education and other information are checked to prevent the inclusion of candidates under the age of 16. All of the Company’s businesses prohibit child labour and any form of forced labour, and within the reporting year, these businesses strictly abided by the laws and regulations related to child labour and forced labour and received no reported incidents in these respective areas.
In addition, the Company has signed personal contracts with employees and signed a Collective Contract with the Company’s trade union, in which working hours, rest and vacation, insurance, etc., are set out. For example, licensed workers in the nuclear power station operate in shifts for 21 days in a 6-week cycle. They also participate in training and conferences over a period not less than 5 days, and the remaining periods are designated for breaks. The Collective Contract was negotiated between the trade unions on behalf of the employees and the employers through equal consultation. The purpose of the Collective Contract is to rectify and prevent the unfairness of employment contracts so that employers and employees are on a level playing field. It also guarantees that employees can enjoy the national public holidays and apply for paid leave through a regulated application process. Details of the remuneration management system for employees are set out in the chapter headed “Human Capital” of the 2017 Annual Report of the Company.
We fully respect employees’ opinions on corporate development and management, and we have been continuously improving our democratic corporate management system comprising of the trade union and employee assembly. All major issues in relation to employees’ benefits have been deliberated and decided by the employee assembly.

*The annual outage is the key factor affecting the individual radiation exposure of all NPPs. Compared with 2016, the major outage activities in 2017 at Ling’ao Nuclear Power Station, Lingdong Nuclear Power Station and Ningde Nuclear Power Station were basically the same. Therefore, the maximum individual radiation exposure did not change materially as compared with 2016. The major outage activities at Daya Bay Nuclear Power Station and Yangjiang Nuclear Power Station had been reduced. Therefore the maximum individual radiation exposure was less than that in 2016. The major outage activities at Fangchenggang Nuclear Power Station, Hongyanhe Nuclear Power Station had been increased. Therefore, the maximum individual radiation exposure was more than that in 2016. The annual maximum individual radiation exposure for each NPP is all much lower than the management target limits of the NPP, and also much lower than the limits as provided by the laws and regulations of the State.

Optimizing Supply Chain Management
The Company has always attached importance to the management and daily supervision of the supply chain. We have developed strict management methods for supplier performance evaluation and evaluate the qualification of suppliers from four dimensions (procurement process, contract execution, quality supervision and quality assurance). Suppliers are divided into three types - “Potential Suppliers”, “Qualified Suppliers” and “Blacklisted Suppliers” respectively in supplier management. “Potential Suppliers” refers to suppliers out of qualification review or expired members on the ECP; “Qualified Suppliers” refers to suppliers that have met the requirements in the corresponding product qualification evaluation; “Blacklisted Suppliers” refers to suppliers who have had a record of improper bidding, bribery, breaching important contracts, responsible for serious liability accidents or received negative evaluations. Our usual practice is not to use “Blacklisted Suppliers”.
In order to manage various suppliers effectively, we will mark the “status of qualification assessment” of suppliers according to the above classification principles on the ECP system. At the same time, we also subdivide “Qualified Suppliers” into three types.
==> picture [372 x 278] intentionally omitted <==

----- End of picture text -----
Qualified suppliers each have their own implementation personnel and audit methods in the process of qualification assessment or review in the Company. For Class I and Class II Suppliers, the process of qualification assessment or review is carried out by relevant personnel for mastering techniques, safety quality assurance or business. For Class III Suppliers, this process is carried out by commercial personnel; technical personnel are also used in circumstances which require them to be present. Regarding the source review, we require Class I suppliers and domestic suppliers introduced for the first time to undergo a source review; whilst for Class II and Class III domestic suppliers, we can adopt other approaches of qualification assessments or reviews according to the project budget.

Methods of Qualification for Suppliers in CGN Power
Document Qualification
We have sent qualification documents to suppliers and judge whether they are qualified for bidding and performing the contract according to their return documents. The main evaluation factors include basic qualification, supplier performance, safety condition situation, quality, environment, technical level, financial situation, etc.
Source Qualification
For suppliers that require source qualification, it is necessary to visit places where suppliers are based after they have passed document qualification; and to assess the parts of safety, quality, environment, technology and business where required. In accordance with the type of planned supplies, we adopt a corresponding strategy of assessment and draw up comments in the text independently.
Other Qualification
Due to the nature of different businesses, the subsidiary companies and affiliates can freely choose to entrust external agencies to assess, simplify the course of qualification or use other special assessment methods in accordance with their implementation rules.
We stipulate that suppliers who sign contracts or orders with companies must be qualified suppliers through qualification review, and the procurement of projects, goods or services cannot exceed the supply category approved by qualification. In order to further improve the upstream and downstream performance of environmental and social responsibility of the supply chain, we pay more and more attention to integrating environmental and social responsibility into our supply chain management in the process of selecting suppliers. The Company requires the suppliers to comply with national environmental protection regulations and to solve related problems in accordance with the ISO14001 environmental management system standards and requirements in the process of construction. During the operation, the supplier should pay attention to the protection of the environment, green vegetation and ancient trees; it is prohibited for forests to be destroyed and suppliers must comply with fire prevention regulations in mountains and forests. Through the integrated use of the environment management system and measures, the supplier should also minimize the generation of solid waste.
According to relevant laws and regulations of national nuclear safety, we have formulated strict management measures for supplier performance evaluation and revised these measures in 2017. The comprehensive performance evaluation of suppliers is required to cover at least seven dimensions including technology, quality, cost, delivery, service response, environmental protection and social responsibility, and this evaluation work is conducted regularly. Among them, main subsidiaries and affiliates companies should organize a performance evaluation at least once a year for the supplier with the contract being executed. The evaluation result will be the basis for qualification and subsequent procurement review of the supplier.
