Recently, Wind, a leading domestic ESG rating agency, released its latest 2025 rating results. Hainan Mining has achieved a significant breakthrough in its ESG rating, leaping from BBB to AA, and ranking 18th among 191 enterprises in the "Other Metals & Mining" industry.

In recent years, the company has actively responded to the national "dual carbon" goals and green development policies, continuously improving its corporate governance, environmental risk management, and information disclosure mechanisms. Its performance in Wind’s ratings has improved year by year, successfully placing it among the top 10% of domestic enterprises in the Other Metals & Mining industry.

As an authoritative domestic ESG evaluation system, the Wind ESG Rating holds broad influence in the A-share market. Leveraging the Wind financial data platform, this rating comprehensively applies big data and artificial intelligence technologies to systematically assess enterprises’ sustainable development capabilities from three core dimensions: Environment, Social, and Governance (ESG). Its data sources cover multiple channels such as corporate disclosures, government supervision, and public opinion. The rating methodology emphasizes industry differences and dynamic risks, objectively reflecting an enterprise’s actual ESG performance, and has become a key reference for investors and the capital market to evaluate an enterprise’s long-term value.

In 2024, in line with the Shanghai Stock Exchange Self-Regulatory Guidelines for Listed Companies No. 14 – Sustainable Development Reports (Trial), Hainan Mining systematically organized the content of its ESG work on material issues including corporate governance, information disclosure, and environmental risk management, and released its first Sustainable Development Report in March this year.

In terms of governance mechanism upgrading, the company upgraded the former "Board Strategy & ESG Committee" to the "Strategy & Sustainable Development Committee", explicitly incorporating climate change and "dual carbon" goals into the board’s supervision scope. It also systematically identified issues of double materiality, enhancing the forward-looking and systematic nature of corporate governance.

In deepening environmental actions, the company has gradually achieved comprehensive disclosure of greenhouse gas emission data, set clear carbon neutrality pathways and seven major emission reduction initiatives, and conducted climate risk and opportunity assessments. It has identified 6 physical risks (including tropical cyclones and extreme high temperatures) and 4 transition opportunities, promoting the transformation of environmental management from compliance-oriented to value-creating.

In extending social responsibility, the company continues to optimize its diverse and inclusive employment structure, improve training and performance mechanisms, and emphasizes equal treatment of small and medium-sized enterprises to promote coordinated development between the company and its partners. Meanwhile, it remains committed to advancing social value chain initiatives such as rural revitalization, public welfare donations, and employee critical illness assistance, actively fulfilling its social responsibilities.

Looking ahead, Hainan Mining will continue to unswervingly implement its sustainable development strategy and deepen the construction of its ESG governance system to higher standards. The company is committed to aligning environmental benefits, social responsibilities, and corporate governance, and continuously enhancing its competitiveness in sustainable development.
