National Green Factory Recognition

201812111507
Our Group’s major manufacturing plant in Heshan, China was accredited the National Green Factory recognition as announced by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of the People’s Republic of China (PRC) in November 2018.

In line with the industry green development plan and green manufacturing in China (2016-2020), the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of the PRC officially announced a total of 391 enterprises (in the third round) that were accredited to the “National Green Factory” recognitions after a series of strict assessments including self-assessment, independent third party audits and evaluations from experts and government departments. Among the 35 successfully accredited enterprises in Guangdong Province, Heshan City has only one enterprise achieved this recognition. This reinforces Leo’s pioneering role in motivating green manufacturing.

Committed to being a global green printer and achieving zero-waste, we have been taking proactive initiatives over the years. This year we successfully accredited to the Green Finance Certificate and the Green Loan which demonstrates our sustainable development commitments. Besides being a pioneer for cleaner production in the printing industry, we also promote energy-efficient technologies in our operations in addition to sourcing and using more environmentally friendly materials. For example, in 2017 we achieved over 1,600,000 kWh reduction of electricity consumption after the implementation of central air-conditioning system optimization projects. We also conduct periodic energy performance reviews on non-production facilities and carry out upgrades when necessary. The upgrade of a new type Air Source Heat Pump at our Greenfield Garden dormitory complex resulted in over 60% reduction of direct GHG emission in 2017.

In addition to striving to improve our own environmental performance in production and business operations, we also hope to encourage more industrial players to join us on the path to sustainable and green production.
