Chairman Mr. Li Xiyong
Focusing on high-quality development of our core business, the Company made a deliberate decision to withdraw from the non-coal trading industry, accelerated the disposal of non main stream assets, and realised "excellence in our core business, risks under control, and standardised operation". Adopting an innovative model of "resource + capital", the Company has completed its mergers and acquisitions transactions to increase equity ratio in Inner Mongolia Mining (Group) Limited Company, whilst attaining additional coal resources of 4.75 billion tons. In addition, high-quality coal mines, high-end chemical and power assets from the controlling shareholder were acquired, to further expand the industrial chain and scale of the Company, and hence comprehensively enhance our overall strength and competitiveness.
Uphold the safety principle and strengthen safety assurance capability. We have always regarded safety and health of employees as our priority, actively implemented the "1153" safety overall thinking, and promoted the "three leaps" of safety management, namely, from accident prevention to risk control, from survival to health, and from one-on-one management to autonomous management, maintaining our leading position in safety performance standards among peers. Based on the principle of "improving safety through technology, securing safety with fewer or no people", the Company is the first within the coal industry to implement smart technology-enabled mining process in its coal operations, to further support its domestic advanced position as well as compatible to world-class smart mining practice. In addition, smart mining process has been put into operations in all provincial coal mines with potential rock burst therefore, freeing a large number of underground workers from heavy physical labour and hazardous workplaces, which realize our dream of underground mining with "fewer people".
Implement low-carbon and environmental protection, and new progress in developing green mines. We always support green, low-carbon and circular economy development, and coordinate the relationship between environmental protection, production and efficiency to actively promote green, circular and sustainable development of the Company. Driven by two wheels, namely, energy saving and emission reduction as well as environmental protection, we continuously enhance the mining environment through key projects integrating the promotion of energy-saving technological transformation and pollution prevention and control of mine water, air and soil. Actively exploring and practising the coordinated development of coal resource development and ecological restoration and governance, our "Scholar-Farmer" urban Green-Heart Project was awarded "the first thick coal seam mining subsidence land management + industry introduction demonstration project", and the Company was recognised as the Ecological Mine Construction Engineering Research Centre of Shandong Province.
More care and warm leading to happiness. We always uphold the principle of "people-centred, harmonious development", and strive to deliver performance, overcome difficulties, and pursue benefits for employees. The Company extensively creates an atmosphere where employees can enjoy a promising prospect in career development to encourage employees to develop the spirit of being a master by actively launching job competitions, advancing the establishment of innovation studios for model workers (skilled masters) and the selection of "Yanzhou Coal Craftsman". The Company fully implements the "threeheart programme" of "being heart-warming, satisfactory and united", deepens the mutual assistance of "common care + special care" and creates a caring and warming atmosphere in mining areas with distribution of more than RMB 8.74 million of relief fund, consolation fund and student subsidies.

Benefit the people and fulfil social responsibilities. We always repay society heartedly and take substantive actions to boost the harmonious development of society. During the sudden outbreak of COVID-19, we took the lead in resuming work and production in the coal industry, and assured the adequacy of coal supply, which was well reported in news media on CCTV news and Shandong news broadcast. The majority of Party members, cadres and employees actively participated in the "Anti-pandemic Donations with Love" activity where RMB 4.185 million was raised, demonstrating the Company's corporate responsibilities during the pandemic. The Company takes the initiative to help local development based on the concept of "coordinated development through enterprise-government cooperation" and launched the construction of 27 new villages with high standards for villager relocation in mining areas. Dedicated to public charity, the Company has carried out 5,089 heart-warming volunteering activities. The Company won the Social Responsibility Award in the 14th Value Selection of Listed Companies in China.
The year 2021 marks the beginning of the "14th Five-Year Plan" and it is also a year for Yanzhou Coal to capture the new trend, seize new opportunities, and seek new breakthroughs. We will take the initiative to integrate into the new development pattern of the "dual circulation", adhere to the combination of "stock optimisation and incremental leap", coordinate the relationship between pandemic prevention and control and production and operation, real industry and capital operation, safety and stability and reform and development, and comprehensively enhance the Company's core competitiveness, value creativity and sustainable growth, and strive to advance toward a global clean energy supplier and world-class energy enterprise, creating maximum value for stakeholders including shareholders, customers, employees and society.

We have put in place an orderly corporate governance structure that is well regulated through the coordinated operations by the general meeting of shareholders, the Party committee, the board of directors, the board of supervisors and the managers, which further leads to a governance mechanism of checks and balances where powers and responsibilities of the organs of power, decision-making, supervision, and execution are clearly defined and well-coordinated with each other.
The Company pays close attention to the process of legalisation and standardisation of the securities market, and constantly strengthens the development of corporate governance. In 2020, we inspected the development of corporate governance of subsidiaries, deeply analysed the bottleneck of governance shortcomings, and guided the rectification of problems identified.

Recognising the importance of the Board members, the Company selected directors based on multiple factors, such as their gender, age, cultural and educational background, professional experience, skills, and years of service etc, in addition to a consideration of the actual conditions and demands, so as to achieve diversification of the Board of Directors and promote the diversity and balance of their points of view, experience and perspectives. We also build up a high-level expert think tank to improve the Company's ability to deal with complex environments and achieve its balanced and sustainable development.
In 2020, the Company held 5 shareholders' meetings and 11 meetings of the Board of Directors and reviewed and approved 80 proposals, particularly including the approval of a series of significant events related to the Company's reform and development as well as standardised management such as the re-election of the Board of Directors, appointment of senior executives, the amendment of the Articles of Association and the Detailed Work Rules of the Special Committees. All meetings and voting procedures are in accordance with relevant laws, regulations and Articles of Association. All voting results are legal and valid. This work laid down a solid foundation for the Company's standardised operation and high-quality development.

Poverty Alleviation Efforts

3 Company staff were sent to take up the position of "first secretary" of three villages in Huangdian Town, Dingtao District, Heze City to promote the "three meetings and one lecture" (Party branch meeting, Party branch committee meeting and Party group meeting, and Party lecture) and the Organizational Life Meeting starting from the establishment of regulations and systems. 12 Party activity centres were established and a series of Party building projects, such as the "Leadership" and "Double Training" (training on both business and political practices ), were carried out. Utilising network platforms such as "Lighthouse Online" and "WeCounty", the Company employed experts of Party building research to exchange and teach, assisting in improving the cadre's level of political theory.

The Company provided 6,000 tons of coals to kindergartens, Huzhu Happiness Institute in Wushen County, Inner Mongolia and poverty-stricken villages in Heshun County, Shanxi Province, to ensure a warm winter for local residents. The Company assisted in the coal-to-electricity project for 213 households in three targeted villages in Heze City, greatly improving the production and living conditions of local people. During the pandemic, the Company actively donated pandemic prevention funds, masks, disinfections supplies, food and clothing and other supplies for the towns and villages. The Company also orderly organised pandemic prevention and control and work resumption in the three targeted villages, and helped to purchase agricultural supplies such as seeds, fertilizers and pesticides, so as to help with local production.

Making industry aid the pillar of targeted poverty alleviation, the Company vigorously implemented the characteristic industry project of one village with one or more products of large market potential, obvious regional characteristics and high added value. More than RMB 1 million were invested in the organic vegetable greenhouse project in Huangdian Town to build 10 high standard greenhouses, forming a first-class distribution centre integrating vegetable production, seedling growing, breed cultivation and marketing. In addition, RMB 1.2 million were invested to develop grape planting and picking project in Xiaodangshan Village, and cherry planting project in Xiahuzhu Village, providing income boost channels for nearly 40 persons from over 20 poor households. In Shanghuangzhuang Village, 200 mu thornless Chinese prickly ash and 50 mu honeysuckle were planted. 23 poor households were benefited from land transfer, land share dividends, labour export, etc., with an annual income increase of more than RMB 2,000 per household. Furthermore, RMB 500,000 were invested in targeted villages in Yijinhuoluo County, Ordos City for the construction of greenhouse edible fungus project to drive the villagers out of poverty and become rich.

During the pandemic, the Company installed 5 networks and distributed more than 30 mobile phones to impoverished students, enabling "online classroom" for them. Cooperating with Shandong Preschool Education Association, the Company held early education lectures and provided psychological consultations for more than 200 preschool children and their parents, and donated over 600 sets of early education books and teaching aids. The Company established the voluntary service organisation and assistance cooperation mechanism for schools in Bangbao Village, actively coordinated and organised the employee education and training centre, set up the enrollment team to provide employment and recruitment platform support in Huangdian Town, Dingtao District and targeted villages. Besides, the Company also organised volunteers to "teach in the village and nearby", providing supported compulsory educational undertakings under "Xiaohe School" for more than 200 primary school students to improve the cultural literacy of local children.

The Company built 3 cultural courtyards and 3 villager cultural squares equipped with broadcasting facilities and fitness equipment in the targeted villages to enrich villagers' cultural life. The Company also provided radios for the elderly over 70 years old to help make their spiritual life colourful. Moreover, the Company prepared support rules and regulations, and carried out activities to build "beautiful courtyards". A series of activities such as "Listening to veterans telling stories" and "I share a common fate with my nation" were conducted to inherit the red gene and advocate positive energy of patriotism.
Emergency relief
After years of practice, the Company has established a rapid response mechanism for emergency relief. In the face of emergencies, the Company has stepped forward and offered help for those in need, giving them strength and hope.
Participation in communication guarantee and rescue work of a coal mine accident in Shandong Province
In July 2020, the Company's rescue team was assigned to assist in a coal mine flood in Shandong Province. Overcoming adverse factors such as limitation of the site, the rescue team completed the connection of the satellite command vehicle in only ten minutes, effectively ensuring that the on-site work pictures of the auxiliary wellhead were transmitted to the duty room of the mine rescue command centre. This event showed the solid rescue skills of the team, which was praised by superiors and the coal mine operator.
Participation in rescue work of a gold mine in Shandong Province
In January 2021, an explosion occurred in a gold mine in Shandong Province. Under the unified arrangement and deployment of the Shandong Energy Rescue Head quarters with Chairman Li Xiyong as the commander in chief, the Company dispatched a rescue team of 28 people, including technicians and two teams, carrying more than 100 sets of equipment and marching nearly 600 kilometres to rush for rescue overnight. In the process of rescue, through overcoming the adverse environmental conditions such as underground water drenching, clamminess, etc., the team members fulfilled the mission after 16 days and nights of hard work, demonstrating the responsibility of a state-owned enterprise.

Care for community
In China, the Company has carried out heart-warming volunteering activities in the community for five consecutive years, with an expanding team of volunteers and increasingly enriched activities. At present, the Company and its subsidies and units have established 29 heart-warming volunteering service centres (or associations), 171 heart-warming support teams (groups) and 44 heart-warming service stations, with 4,072 volunteers recruited, 5,089 public welfare activities carried out, 32,399 people participated and 14,415 hours accumulated during the year. The volunteers carried out various community

The greenhouse gases inventory of Yanzhou Coal includes carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide. In the inventory, the greenhouse gases are listed by carbon dioxide equivalence, and the calculation of the greenhouse gases is based on the "2019 Annual Emission Reduction Project of China Regional Power Grid Baseline Emission Factor" issued by the Ministry of Ecological Environment of the People's Republic of China and the "IPCC Guidelines for National Greenhouse Gas Inventory 2006, 2019 Revised Edition" by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). The calculation range of greenhouse gas emissions of the Company: Scope 1, the production of the Company; As for coal slurry, only the consumption is disclosed in this report, due to the lack of sufficient theoretical basis for calculating the greenhouse gases from the combustion of coal slurry. Scope 2, the internal consumption of the Company, such as indirect energies like outsourced electricity, heat, and steam. Scope 3, the greenhouse gases to be counted at an appropriate time in the future, including the quantity of coal bed gases produced during coal mining. (2)

Outlook 2021
The year 2021 is the opening year of the "14th Five-Year Plan", and a milestone year for Yanzhou Coal in terms of incremental growth, transforming traditional drivers and enforcing reform and restructuring. Yanzhou Coal is at a critical juncture in its development, facing a great challenge arising from the current profound global economic adjustment whilst there is a need to capitalize the historical opportunity for incremental growth after the acquisition of highquality coal mines and high-end chemical assets of the controlling shareholders. We will turn pressure into motivation, and challenges into opportunities, and unswervingly push forward the optimisation of our existing resources to drive incremental growth, seeking for a good
start toward the 14th Five-Year Plan.
"It is the right time to sail when the tide is flat and the wind is strong". Yanzhou Coal will adhere to the social responsibility principle of "be responsibility-aware, fair and just, and faithful", and focus on the trend of innovation, coordination, low carbon, openness and sharing. In addition, the Company will continue to pursue excellence by promoting main business development and driving innovation on a sustainable basis and work together with stakeholders for a better future and for sustainable development of the environment and society.
