Case
Trial Promotion of Green Enterprise Action Plan in Gulei Refining and Petrochemical Integration Project
To fully implement the idea of green development, build green projects and form green enterprises, the Group formulated the Green Enterprise Action Scheme for SINOPEC Engineering Group in 2019, planning to complete at least 30% of green construction sites by the end of 2020; complete at least 80% of green construction sites and the formation of green enterprises for partial units by the end of 2022; complete at least 90% of green construction sites and the comprehensive formation of green enterprises based on the green construction sites by the end of 2023. In August 2019, the Group treated Gulei Refining and Petrochemical Integration Project as a pilot project and carried out green construction sites according to the Green Construction Site Assessment Method (Pilot) . During the implementation of the project, the “Six 100%” was strictly implemented, which was 100% enclosure around the construction site, 100% coverage of bare soil and material stack, 100% washing of vehicles in and out, 100% hardening of roads on construction site, 100% wet process for earth-rock excavation and 100% airtight transportation of slag cars so as to promote effective utilisation of resources and reduce emission of pollutants. At the end of 2019, through pre-acceptance and formal acceptance and assessment by all units of the Company, the Gulei Pilot Project of the Green Construction Site Project basically reached the acceptance standard for green sites, setting up the industrial benchmark for green construction sites.

Case
First Set of “Zero Emission Technical Process Package for Coal Chemical Wastewater” of Independent Intellectual Property Put into Operation
Coal chemical wastewater is the bottleneck of clean development of the industry due to the large output, complicated components and difficulty of treatment. Meanwhile, it also faces the pressure of tightened environmental protection policies. To promote better and faster development of the coal chemical industry, the Group was joined by multiple research institutes to jointly develop the first set of “Zero Emission Technical Process Package for Coal Chemical Wastewater” of independent intellectual property, which was put into operation in Zhong’an Coal
Chemical Project. The project differs from regular oil refining and chemical engineering projects in wastewater treatment unit. As higher requirements are set for environmental protection, all wastewater from the devices and systems need to be recycled and high salinity wastewater produced by the technological end needs to go through multiple-effect evaporation to separate and extract the sodium chloride and sodium sulfate from the wastewater for the purpose of maximised comprehensive resource utilisation and realisation of “zero wastewater emission” in its true sense.

The new generation S Zorb technology is widely used
Since 2007 when the Group acquired S Zorb technology as a whole, we have solved multiple engineering difficulties troubling S Zorb technology through relentless efforts. The technical indexes comprehensively surpassed the originally introduced technology. The new generation of S Zorb integrated the combined art between absorption desulfurisation and catalytic cracking through technical innovations. With low energy consumption up to around one third of that of the hydrodesulphurisation technology together with
==> picture [171 x 86] intentionally omitted <==
outstanding advantages including high desulfurisation rate, low octane number loss and long operation cycle, the technology was quickly promoted and used in the industry. Currently the technology has been applied to 35 as-built domestic devices and has processed catalytic gasoline of nearly 60% nationwide and more than 47 million tons/year, contributing greatly to the clean transformation of the petrochemical industry.
Protection of Environment and Natural Resources
A3 General Disclosure A3.1
The Group strictly obeys the Environmental Protection Law of the People’s Republic of China and relevant regulations on environmental protection where the project is operated to positively fulfill the duties of domestic and foreign environmental protection. During project construction, the Group took into full consideration the soil erosion, ecological environment fragmentation and other impacts on environment and natural resources; implemented ecological monitoring based on project characteristics; exercised migration protection on rare animals and plants. To be specific, fish breeding season, migration season and other ecological sensitive periods were avoided for construction projects involving rivers, lakes and seas; mammal migration season was avoided for land construction projects for biological diversity; meanwhile, risk control measures for soil and underground water environments were formulated and corresponding environmental measures and control measures for water and soil loss
were made in environmental sensitive areas and on construction sites to protect and improve the ecological environment along the project line, realising green development and establishing an environmental friendly enterprise image. In the meantime, the Group also took the initiative to collaborate with domestic and foreign research institutes to explore the market of restoration of polluted sites and underground waters in the petrochemical industry, promote clean petrochemical transformation, reduce environmental pollution and protect ecological environment.
In the Reporting Period, the Group won the bids for field investigation projects into Anhui Bayi Chemical Plant, Beijing Gaolizhuang Oil Reservoir, Jiujiang Petrochemical Soil Restoration and Zhanjiang Dongxing In-service Petrochemical Site, etc. to promote green development of the industry.

Dispatch Staff to Beat Poverty in Dongxiang County, Gansu Province, China
As the only autonomous county with the Dongxiang minority as the main residents in China, Dongxiang County, Gansu Province, lagged behind in economic and social development and was insufficient in self-development to shake off poverty due to lack of water, sparse vegetation and rare rainfall. On February 3, 2013, General Secretary Xi Jinping visited Dongxiang for directing poverty alleviation work, paying a field-visit to Bulenggou Village at the Gaoshan County, so as to have a deep insight into the production and living conditions of the people. He stated to “draw water, repair roads and build a new countryside”. In response to what Xi said, the Company dispatched Jiao Jianguo as the leader responsible for poverty alleviation to conduct poverty alleviation work in Dongxiang.
To take solid steps in poverty elimination, the Group, which only focused on infrastructure construction in the past, has extended its focus to poverty relief through agricultural science and technology, photovoltaic, consumption and employment, in a bid to help Dongxiang usher into a moderately society in all respects with the whole country at the same time. In 2019, on
top of previous work, we continued to expand the scale of poverty alleviation. It yielded a good harvest after planting 4,470 mu (a unit of area) of quinoa. The Group also supported the construction of quinoa processing workshops to create a complete industrial chain of planting, purchasing, processing, packaging and selling with full efforts which increased production and income of the poor. In the meantime, the Group organised local enterprises in Dongxiang actively in order to participate in a poverty alleviation trade show of SINOPEC in Huairou and an agricultural product production and marketing docking activity in the “three regions and three prefectures” which were defined as poor areas by the Ministry of Agriculture, and proactively promoted agricultural byproducts of Dongxiang, such as Dongxiang Hand-grabbing, babao tea and oil guoguo, thus actively assisting poverty alleviation and income growth there.
From 2018 to 2019, this example was highly praised as a success of poverty alleviation by relevant poverty alleviation offices and People’s Daily and Jiao Jianguo was awarded the “outstanding cadre in poverty alleviation” by Linxia Prefecture.

The children rushed to point out the petrochemical products in front of them in the interactive session. Their clear and bright eyes and laugh on the faces were filled with happiness, touching all the volunteers there. Considering insufficient care from parents due to long distance, the volunteers visited them frequently, which better warmed children’s hearts and helped them grow up under care and love.
