Recently, the Publicity and Education Center of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment announced the list of outstanding cases for the "2025 Enterprise ESG Case Collection Activity," and LiuGong was successfully selected for its outstanding practice in "Smart Empowerment for Green Transformation, Building a New Manufacturing Paradigm." This marks national-level authoritative recognition of LiuGong's integrated practice of "ESG governance + green intelligent manufacturing."

This case systematically demonstrates LiuGong's top-level design and innovative achievements in the environmental, social, and governance (ESG) fields, especially in establishing an industry benchmark for integrating ESG governance mechanism development with green intelligent manufacturing. Meanwhile, LiuGong's Wind ESG rating has risen to Grade A, and its Huazheng ESG rating has risen to Grade AA, further confirming its outstanding ESG governance results.

LiuGong has deeply integrated the ESG concept into the core of its corporate strategy. It has not only innovated its governance structure by upgrading the board committee into the "Strategy and ESG Committee" and establishing an ESG leadership group headed by senior executives and a cross-departmental execution group to ensure that ESG goals are implemented at every level, but has also formulated special documents such as the Carbon Emission Management Plan and LiuGong's 14th Five-Year Plan for Energy Business, setting clear emission reduction and consumption reduction targets.

With technological innovation as its engine, LiuGong has achieved remarkable results in building an intelligent green manufacturing system through the dual-driven approach of "smart + green."

The intelligent loader factory has deployed 102 robots and 82 AGVs, applying laser cutting and digital twin technologies, increasing production capacity by 15% and shortening the manufacturing cycle by 50%; the intelligent excavator factory has an automation rate of over 70%.

In addition, LiuGong achieves source carbon reduction through green processes, adopting mixed-gas shielded welding to reduce carbon dioxide use in welding by 40%, and using dry cutting to achieve "zero waste liquid discharge."

In terms of energy optimization, LiuGong has built 28.73 MW of photovoltaic capacity, generating 27.77 million kWh annually, reducing unit coating energy consumption by 16%, and cutting carbon emissions by 15,700 tons per year; in terms of closed-loop resource recycling management, the recovery rate of remanufactured old parts is 85%, with performance reaching 95% of new products, the comprehensive wastewater reuse rate exceeds 60%, and electroplating wastewater is 100% recycled and utilized.

As a national-level ESG benchmark enterprise in the construction machinery industry, LiuGong will continue to strengthen the development of its ESG governance system: tackling key technologies and improving its green industry layout; joining hands with upstream and downstream partners in the industrial chain to build a green ecosystem; and using smart green factories as an innovation fulcrum to fully leverage a sustainable future for the construction machinery industry, contributing a practical and feasible Chinese solution to the green transformation of the global equipment manufacturing industry.
