Philosophy and Management for Sustainability
COSCO SHIPPING Development actively deals with uncertainties brought about by a complicated international situation and boosts the synergy between shipping and finance to drive sustainable development of the industry, the society and the world along with our partners.
Background of Sustainability
The COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 was a worldwide black swan event. In the short term, it has disrupted the international trade order, blocked the circulation of industrial and supply chains, endangered the survival of many enterprises, and increased financial risks. In the medium to long term, global economy has been recovering, new economy has gained good momentum of growth, and the impacts of COVID-19 on the international shipping industry and its upstream and downstream enterprises have been declining. While the stronghold of the international shipping industry has shifted from the west to the east, the cooperation among upstream and downstream enterprises and third-party organizations will gain strength, bringing new development opportunities for shipping finance industries such as ship leasing, container production, port operation, marine insurance, ship brokering and consulting services.
In 2020, Shanghai launched pilot projects to build an interconnected transportation network in the Yangtze River Delta, a world-class international shipping center and a better coordinated urban transportation service system, in order to propel innovative development of transportation and build a more targeted and more effective transportation governance system, accumulating experience for China to develop a strong transportation network. These efforts have created enabling conditions for enterprises to expand the shipping finance business, further develop comprehensive transportation and services for the logistics supply chain, and accelerate their embrace of the new development pattern whereby domestic and foreign markets boost each other, with the domestic market as the mainstay.

We also have strict mechanisms to regulate supplier admission, regular audits and dynamic assessments.
Moreover, we evaluate suppliers' safety and environmental performance and ban procurement from suppliers with safety or environmental incidents. To raise their awareness, we ask suppliers to sign the Anti-Bribery and Corruption Statement and introduce our anti-corruption policies at the supplier meetings. Supplier Self-Examination Questionnaire We encourage suppliers to fill in the on Social Norm Compliance designed by us: those with a high rating will be rewarded. We also provide suppliers with instruments to evaluate their social responsibility management and practice and help them with continuous improvement.
We apply the same standards to subcontractors (tier-two suppliers) to strengthen and deepen management of the supply chain. In 2020, we included subcontractors into our supply-chain management, improved the subcontractors database and mechanisms of access review, regular evaluation and elimination. In addition, we invited safety management experts to study management of subcontractors. Through summary and analysis of typical safety incidents, we ' weak links of safety management, and provided identified subcontractors targeted safety management and education.

Environmental Management
We are committed to doing our utmost to minimize impacts on the environment. We stick to the environmental management principle of prioritizing protection, emphasizing preventive measures, taking an integrated approach, engaging the public, and the one who causes damage bears the responsibility. We constantly promote environmental management with an improved management structure, normalized risk screening measures and comprehensive performance assessment.
We thoroughly analyze the environmental impact of three business sectors, and believe that the main environmental impact of the Company comes from the container manufacturing business, while the shipping and related industry leasing and investment service business have little impact on the environment. Therefore, the container manufacturing sector is the major focus of our environmental management efforts. At present, our container manufacturing factories have all been certified by GB/T 24001-2016/ISO 14001:2015 environmental management system. China Classification Society Certification Company will review the operation of the system every year, and conduct a certificate-renewal review including a comprehensive environmental impact assessment every three years.

In the leasing, investment and services for shipping and related industries, we consider the response of the lessee or the portfolio companies to climate change in making investment decisions, and actively identify existing or potential negative effects of their decisions and activities on the environment, to reduce business risks.
Shift to Water-based Paints
We work hard to promote green production and processing. Oil paints have long been used for coating containers, producing a large amount of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that are hazardous to the environment and human health. Following the China Container Industry Association's Self-discipline Convention on VOCs Emission Reduction, Shanghai Universal urged its container manufacturing factories to replace organic solvents and high-VOC-containing paints with those containing little or zero VOCs, to green the industry. DFIC Lianyungang, DFIC Guangzhou and DFIC Jinzhou have all replaced oil paints with water-based paints.

Occupational Health and Safety
Safety is the basis for corporate development, the safety and health of employees is vital for steady growth of an enterprise. At COSCO SHIPPING Development, the occupational health and safety management is our absolute top priority. We strictly abide by relevant laws such as the Law on Workplace Safety, the Fire Protection Law, and the Law on Prevention and Control of Occupational Diseases, and have established the Workplace Safety and Environmental Protection Working Committee(whose organizational structure applies to occupational health and safety management and environmental management, as detailed in the previous chapter), and improved the occupational safety and health management system, so as to create a safer and more humane working environment.
Container manufacturing takes place in front-line factories which are the key area of our occupational health and safety management. All our container factories have obtained GB/T 45001-2020/ISO 45001:2018 Occupational Health and Safety Management System Certification, and receive annual reviews from China Classification Society (CCS) so that the Company can better analyze and assess key occupational health and safety risks facing the container manufacturing business.
Comprehensive identifcation of occupational health and safety risks can help us formulate targeted countermeasures, efectively improve our occupational health and safety management capabilities, and reduce potential safety hazards. We apply uniform standards to identify and manage occupational safety and health risks across the board, with the principle of "all employees, all processes, and all aspects". We screen risks regularly for container factory workers, and systematically analyze risk factors of each job from the aspects of people, facilities and equipment, environment, and management.
