Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core has made ecological civilization construction an important part of advancing the overall "Five-Sphere Integrated Plan," comprehensively promoting reform of the ecological civilization system and ecological civilization construction. The report of the 20th National Congress of the CPC further pointed out that harmonious coexistence between humanity and nature is one of the important features and essential requirements of Chinese-style modernization. The Third Plenary Session of the 20th CPC Central Committee made "focusing on building a Beautiful China" a reform task, made systematic arrangements for deepening reform of the ecological civilization system, and provided a guide for advancing modernization featuring harmonious coexistence between humanity and nature.

The company actively responds to the call of the state, proactively integrates into the overall national strategic framework, and takes reform of the ecological civilization system as an important lever for promoting high-quality development of the enterprise. In the course of development, it attaches great importance to energy conservation and emission reduction, and practices the concept of green development through concrete actions. Since 2021, the company has maintained a Grade B enterprise rating under the performance-based graded control of key industries during heavily polluted weather, achieving independent emission reduction during orange and yellow alerts and making the greatest possible contribution to the continuous improvement of the ecological environment.

In 2024, the company passed the cleaner production audit and acceptance, organized and implemented 7 cleaner production plans, reduced electricity and auxiliary material consumption, lowered costs by 618,000 yuan annually, and achieved notable results in pollutant emission reduction and improvement of comprehensive resource utilization. At present, the use rate of water-based paint is as high as 80%, VOCs generation has been reduced by 70%, and the VOCs emission reduction rate per unit product has dropped by 67%, with obvious emission reduction benefits. By building an integrated energy management platform in a coordinated manner, the company's comprehensive energy consumption is estimated to be reduced by 5%. The trial production workshop has reserved space and brackets for solar photovoltaic panels on the roofs of major projects, and photovoltaic modules will be installed subsequently. By converting the park's halogen street lamps to solar photovoltaic LED street lamps, each lamp saves about 1,168 yuan in electricity costs per year, achieving energy conservation, consumption reduction, and green development.

Enhancing Green Manufacturing Capability Through Deepened Reform

In the process of deepening reform, ecological civilization and sustainable development are advanced. Shantui Co., Ltd. focuses on optimizing mechanisms and stimulating the momentum of human resources. It has successively established departments such as the Application Engineering Department, Value Engineering Department, and Intelligent Construction and Construction Method Research Institute to better adapt to market changes and improve the company's operational level and efficiency. At the same time, the company vigorously advances the mechanism under which cadres can be promoted or demoted, selects and appoints outstanding young cadres to important positions, and promptly adjusts cadres who are incompetent or unsuitable for their posts. The implementation of these measures has injected new vitality into the company's development, while optimizing product structure and service quality and greatly enhancing the enterprise's core competitiveness and market share.

In coordinating and advancing automation transformation, green manufacturing capability is further enhanced. In 2024, projects such as the AGV assembly line at No. 1 Main Engine Plant, the frame welding automated production line, and automatic feeding of sealing rings and track shoes on the track assembly line were implemented, reducing manual intervention and lowering labor intensity. Through the implementation of a series of automation transformation projects, the company's assembly automation rate has increased to 10%, machining automation rate to 67%, welding automation rate to 85%, and logistics automation rate to 37%. To improve production efficiency, enhance supply chain stability, avoid backlog and waste of long-cycle parts, and achieve green production, the company reorganized and improved the delivery cycles of bulldozer and pipelayer main products and the safety stock levels of long-cycle parts, reviewed and determined the delivery cycles of long-cycle parts, locked in long-cycle part plans in advance, shortened delivery cycles, and ensured a 100% on-time delivery rate for vehicles throughout the year.

Accelerating the Development of New Quality Productive Forces Through Green Transformation

To accelerate green transformation, Shantui Co., Ltd. adheres to a forward research and development process. Guided by customer needs and the market, it has established through the forward R&D process a project management model featuring tiered management, precise control, and visualization of milestones and quality, making new product development more market-focused and departmental responsibilities clearer. This has not only greatly shortened project development cycles and reduced risks in the project development process, but also continuously improved product development quality.

Upholding the green development concept of "we share responsibility for low-carbon emission reduction," Shantui relies on the group's resource advantages to tailor "golden core" products that are more fuel-efficient, more efficient, and more worry-free for customers. It leads the entire industry in the research and application of new energy technologies, driving the electrification process of China's construction machinery with continuously innovated technologies and concepts. As products rapidly iterate toward integrated "intelligent manufacturing" construction solutions, Shantui takes "intelligence, autonomy, and informatization" as its main direction and builds a new energy product matrix that is highly recognized by customers. At present, sustainable development has become the core pursuit of the equipment manufacturing industry.
