Recently, MSCI (Morgan Stanley Capital International), a globally recognized leader in international index services, announced its latest annual ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) ratings. Thanks to our continued ESG practices and outstanding performance, our rating has risen from “BB” in 2024 to “A” in 2025, marking authoritative international recognition of our capabilities in sustainable development.

A robust and efficient ESG governance system is the bedrock of sustainable business growth. Guided by our mission of “Creating Wealth, Elevating Employees, and Benefiting Society”, we have deeply integrated ESG management into every aspect of our operations and strategic development, working to deliver long-term, sustainable value.

In 2024, in alignment with China’s dual-carbon strategy, we accelerated our transformation toward a high-end, intelligent, and green industrial model. Through continuous product innovation and R&D, ongoing optimization of our HSE and energy management systems, and the advancement of digitalization, we have achieved notable milestones. NHU was named one of the first key incubation units for “Zero Waste Enterprise Groups” in Zhejiang Province, and several of our subsidiaries earned honors including “National Green Factory”, “Provincial Zero Waste Factory”, and “Provincial Smart Factory”. While pursuing high-quality growth, NHU has actively engaged in public welfare—supporting education, alleviating medical burdens, and advancing rural revitalization—demonstrating a strong sense of responsibility through concrete actions.

Driven by the belief in innovation for good and the vision of sustainable development for people and society, we continue to uphold our philosophy of green development. Looking ahead, we will further strengthen our ESG practices, pursue sustainable and high-quality growth, and create greater value for shareholders, customers, employees, and society—contributing to a better life for all.

The MSCI ESG Rating is a widely recognized global benchmark used by international investment institutions to assess corporate ESG risk management and performance against industry peers across seven core dimensions, including climate change, labor rights, and corporate governance. The rating influences capital flows and serves as a critical tool for companies seeking to enhance global recognition and optimize financing capabilities.
