Environmental, Social and Governance Report

Luoyang Glass Company Limited (“Luoyang Glass” or the “Company”) (Stock Code: 01108 (H shares), 600876 (A shares)) is a company whose A shares and H shares are listed in Shanghai and Hong Kong, respectively.

Luoyang Glass Company Limited is currently one of the manufacturers capable of mass production of 0.15mm–2.0mm series of electronic information display glass in China. As the first company realizing commercial production of ultra-thin float glass products in China, the Company has accumulated leading knowledge system and processing experiences during operation and production of ultra-thin glass for over 10 years. The Company possesses a number of proprietary intellectual property rights and core technologies and maintains the leading position in the key production techniques of ultra-thin and ultra-white-ultra-thin float glass in China. Its products are widely applied in the ITO industry, electronic industry, sophisticated instruments and glass deep processing industry. The Company has successively won various accolades including ““National Quality Award for Float Glass – Silver Award (國家浮法玻璃質量獎–銀質獎)”, “Gold Invention Award (金質發明獎)”, “National Consumer Trustworthy Product ( 全國消費者信得過產品 )”,“Well-known Trademark ( 馳名商標 )”and”National Science & Technology Progress Award (first class) (國家科學技術進步一等獎).

Luoyang Glass Company Limited I 2016 Environmental, Social and Governance Report

Environmental, Social and Governance Report

  • The Company takes a range of measures to reduce utilization of natural gas, cut the cost of fuel and decrease emission of SO2 and NOx. Relevant measures included the adoption of oxygen-enriched combustion technology, improvement in the air vent of the combustion fan, hot repair for the regenerator, heat preservation for the furnace wall and reasonable adjustments of certain parameters in the manufacturing processing. In 2016, the Company saved approximately 1,224,300 m[3] natural gas in all production lines in aggregate.

  • The Company attaches importance to the reuse of water resources. It collects wastewater from the waste heat boiler, stores such in the circulating reservoir consisting of sedimentation pond, regeneration pool, absorbent device as well as other facilities and then reuses them in the fume dedusting and desulfurization system of the melting furnace. Besides, the Company applies a full guard coolant water system to the melting furnace, which only takes a small amount of water feed.

Comprehensive Treatment

Major treatment measures and recycled utilization approaches include:

  • Furnace fumes are disposed through the combination of the electronic precipitator, the denitrification reactor, the semi-dry process for desulfurization and the bag filter.

  • For the dust generated from glass breaker system and the compounding system, a bag filter is used for collection and further treatment of such dust.

  • For noise treatment, the Company selects and uses facilities with low noise design and made rational distribution of noise sources (for example, to position all intense noise sources such as the freezing units, emergency generator, air compressor and vacuum pump in airtight workshops and to emplace cooling towers with encircling sound arresters on the rooftop of the power house) to scale down effects of noises from the production facilities on the surroundings as far as possible.

  • Wastewater is treated through the process of equalization, sediment neutralization treatment and cycling. The reclaimed wastewater is reused for water supply in the ambient temperature cooling system. In addition, cooling water used in the freezing units and air compressors is all recycled to reduce waste of water resources.

  • The solid wastes mainly consists of the dust collected by the bag filter, faulty glass substrate (semi-finished products and finished products), culled refractories and obsolete packaging materials, for which the recycled utilization measures include: to reuse the dust of compound and dust of ladle addition feeder collected by bag filters in production; to reuse all faulty glass substrates in production; to send used packing materials of chemicals back to the suppliers for recycling and common packaging materials to reclamation depot.

Proactively Fulfilling Corporate Social Responsibility
