Recently, Halton, a global leader in indoor air solutions, released its 2023 Sustainability Report, comprehensively demonstrating the company's outstanding performance and firm commitment in the areas of environment, society, and governance (ESG). This report not only reflects Halton's global sustainability strategy but also highlights the company's profound insights and active participation in green development in the Chinese market.

Overcoming challenges and achieving comprehensive growth

The report points out that despite the complex and volatile global market environment, especially the uncertainties brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic, Halton still achieved comprehensive business growth in 2023, with significant achievements in the Americas, Asia, and the Middle East. Notably, the company successfully acquired Nelbud Services Inc., a professional kitchen lifecycle services company in the United States, which not only enhanced the company's service capabilities but also injected new vitality into its sustained development in the US market.

Pioneering in environmental protection, actively promoting the application of renewable energy

In terms of green development, Halton has always upheld the concept of environmental protection and is committed to reducing energy consumption and waste emissions during the production process. According to the report, the proportion of renewable energy in the company's purchased electricity reached as high as 51%, of which nuclear power accounted for 39%, and non-renewable energy accounted for only 10%. This data fully demonstrates Halton's active promotion and application of renewable energy, as well as its firm support for environmental protection.

In addition, the company has also made significant progress in waste disposal. During the reporting period, the waste recycling rate reached 91.37%, and the reuse rate reached 0.53%, effectively reducing the impact on the environment. As of the end of 2023, five Halton factories worldwide, including Halton Ventilation Equipment (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. in China, have obtained ISO45001 environmental management and occupational health and safety certification.

Listening to voices from all sides and actively responding to expectations

In terms of social responsibility, Halton actively listens to voices from all sides, pays attention to the needs and expectations of stakeholders, and responds to these expectations through practical actions. For example, the company has increased training and investment in employees, improving their skill level and overall quality. At the same time, the company also actively fulfills its commitments to customers, providing high-quality products and services.

Future Outlook: Deepening roots in the Chinese market and continuing to promote sustainable development

Halton's release of the 2023 Sustainability Report is not only a summary of the company's achievements in ESG over the past year but also a vision and commitment for future development. The company will continue to uphold the concept of green development, promote the harmonious coexistence of business and the environment, and contribute to achieving global sustainable development goals.
