Furthermore, the Companyactively engages in local government water resource management, collaborates with relevant departments to optimize water resource alloca-tion, and addresses water scarcity challenges in a more e?cient manner.In the ?scal year ????, the Company disclosed a total water consumption of ???,??? tons, limited to the Boai plant. In ????, a comprehensivereview and statistical analysis of water consumption across all domestic wholly-owned subsidiaries was conducted. The total water consump-tion of the Boai and Zhongzhan plants amounted to ???,??? tons, representing a decrease of ??,??? tons compared to ????. Despite a ??.??%year-on-year increase in PVP production volume, the Company achieved a signi?cant reduction in total water consumption. This reductionwas attributed to the improved reaction e?ciency at the Zhongzhan plant and the e?ective decrease in water consumption per unit of prod-uct, showcasing the Company's continuous enhancement in water resource management and green operational practices.
In the production process, each subsidiary adopts di?erent resource optimization measures based on its own business characteristics. Gener-gy Bio-Technology implements a green design concept, promoting product design schemes that are easy to disassemble, classify, and recycleto increase the use of recycled materials and reduce reliance on virgin resources. Simultaneously, there is an emphasis on increasing the recy-cling of packaging materials such as cardboard boxes and foam boxes for internal circulation use to reduce waste generation. Heer Medicaloptimizes inventory management during production to reduce waste of stagnant materials, improve the utilization rate of consumables in theproduction process, gradually increase the application proportion of renewable materials in packaging and turnover tools, and promotesustainable supply chain development. Eastwin improves adhesive coating processes to achieve controlled glue consumption, reduceresource consumption, and implements the reuse of packaging materials in the after-sales process to further reduce raw material consump-tion and waste emissions.

Training system and management structure
Empowering Growth:
Supporting Talent DevelopmentThe Company regards employee development as a crucial support for sustainable business growth. A systematic, hierarchical, and diversi?ed training systemhas been established to enhance employees' professional skills, management abilities, and overall qualities. In accordance with regulations such as the Train-ing Management Regulations and Training Plan Proposals, the Company standardizes the organization and implementation processes of training to ensurealignment between training content and business development. This approach aims to cultivate a high-caliber workforce, fostering mutual progress for boththe enterprise and its employees.The training system covers job skills, compliance management, professional ethics, and other aspects to meet the developmental needs of di?erent employees.Newly hired employees are required to undergo pre-job training, which includes corporate culture, administrative personnel systems, safety production norms,etc., to help them quickly adapt to the work environment. Professional skills training tailors exclusive courses for di?erent positions, including strengtheningbasic skills, interpreting industry regulations, and advancing technical training, ensuring employees continuously improve in their professional ?elds. Manage-ment training focuses on middle and senior management personnel, revolving around themes such as leadership development and interdepartmental collabo-ration to enhance management e?ciency. The Company also actively conducts cross-disciplinary integration training to encourage employees to expand theirknowledge boundaries and enhance innovation capabilities.Diversi?ed training methods, combining internal training, external training, and practical guidance, enhance learning e?ectiveness. Internal training, led bysenior employees or managers, employs classroom lectures, case studies, hands-on exercises, etc., to reinforce knowledge application. Some subsidiariesimplement a "mentorship system" for employees within their ?rst year of employment and high-potential talents, assigning experienced mentors to providebusiness guidance, facilitating rapid employee development. External training includes industry forums, professional certi?cation courses, external expertlectures, etc., providing employees with broader learning resources. Additionally, the Company encourages self-directed learning among employees, o?ering aplatform for knowledge sharing to foster a conducive learning environment.
Comprehensive Training System
The Company places a high emphasis on employees' professional growth by establishing a systematic promotion management system todrive career development in a fair, transparent, and sustainable manner. The Company adheres to regulations such as the Employee Promo-tion Management Guidelines, Skill Level Assessment Management Measures, and Compensation Management Guidelines to clearly de?nepromotion pathways, assessment criteria, evaluation processes, and corresponding salary adjustment mechanisms. This ensures that allemployees have the opportunity for promotion under qualifying conditions, enabling them to achieve their career objectives.The promotion management system has established a "dual-track + multi-sequence" framework to meet the development needs of employ-ees in di?erent positions. The Employee Promotion Management Guidelines divide into management sequence, technical sequence, produc-tion operation sequence, functional sequence, and sales sequence, each with ??-?? job grades, accompanied by corresponding job salaryranges and skill-based salary adjustment mechanisms. The management track is applicable to team managers and department heads, whilethe technical track targets core technical and business backbone roles in research and development, marketing, and supply chain, with thesupport track covering administrative, ?nancial, human resources, and IT support positions.The promotion review process follows annual and quarterly assessment mechanisms to ensure the fairness of promotion decisions. The Com-pany organizes centralized reviews in March and September each year. The Skill Level Assessment Management Measures stipulate that skillassessments include annual regular assessments and irregular assessments for new employees, covering theoretical knowledge, practicalabilities, and overall qualities. Employees go through the promotion application process, including declaration, quali?cation veri?cation,examination assessment, review announcement, and reexamination approval. Quali?ed individuals are promoted in terms of job level andsalary. For employees with exceptional contributions, the Company has a mechanism for out-of-turn promotions to encourage innovation andoutstanding performance.The internal talent mobility mechanism provides employees with more development opportunities. The Employee Internal Transfer Processstipulates that employees can achieve career expansion through inter-departmental transfers, short-term rotations, and internal job competi-tions. The internal job competition mechanism, based on the Internal Job Competition Talent Recommendation Management Measures,establishes competition criteria for managerial and technical positions and selects candidates through processes such as noti?cation, promo-tion, registration, review, evaluation, public announcement, and appointment. The Company also has a talent referral system that encouragesemployees to recommend suitable candidates for positions, o?ering corresponding rewards to optimize talent allocation.The Company focuses on the diversity and sustainability of employee career development by formulating the "Skill Level Assessment Manage-ment Measures" to promote the professional growth of technical personnel and production sta?. The Review Committee is responsible forestablishing assessment criteria and enhancing employees' skill levels through assessment evaluations, training support, job rotation, andother methods. For employees unable to perform their original duties due to physical reasons, the Company conducts reasonable job transfersin accordance with the "Employee Promotion Management Guidelines" to ensure their continued career development in suitable positions.Employees who remain capable of working upon reaching retirement age may have their labor contracts converted to service contracts forcontinued employment, thereby preserving their experiential value.
