LEOCH Publishes 2025 ESG Report: 41% Cut in Carbon Intensity, Sets 70% Reduction Target by 2050

Bulletin Express04-22

Leoch International Technology Limited (LEOCH) released its 2025 Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) Report covering six mainland production sites that account for the bulk of revenue and environmental impact.

Key climate governance • The board retains ultimate oversight, with scenario analyses based on IPCC SSP1-2.6 and SSP3-7.0 guiding risk prioritisation. • SBTi-aligned targets adopt 2024 as baseline: carbon-intensity reductions of 30% by 2030, 40% by 2035 and 70% by 2050. • A RMB60.00 million green loan was raised to fund clean-energy and energy-efficiency projects.

Carbon performance • Total 2025 gross emissions: 322,776 tCO₂e (Scope 1: 21,242 t; Scope 2: 301,533 t). • Purchase of 10.41 GWh green power certificates offset 5,523 tCO₂e, lowering net emissions to 317,253 tCO₂e. • Emission intensity fell to 0.15 tCO₂e per RMB10,000 of revenue, a 41% drop from the 0.26 tCO₂e baseline.

Resource efficiency • Solar arrays at Jiangsu, Zhaoqing and the lead-recycling plant generated 13.66 GWh. • Internal recycling of treated wastewater saved 0.64 million m³ of fresh water. • Heat-recovery systems cut electricity use by 0.14 GWh.

Waste management • Hazardous waste: 35,211 t (–0.54% YoY). • Non-hazardous waste: 25,780 t (–28.77% YoY for lead-acid battery segment). • Recycling initiatives avoided 80 t of scrap plates and 114 t of lead slag.

Human capital and safety • Headcount: 8,715; average monthly turnover 2.77% (–45% YoY). • 10,897 employees received 55,159 training hours on environmental topics; 15,130 employees completed 71,777 safety-training hours. • One work-related fatality at the Zhaoqing plant; 1,320 lost workdays recorded.

Climate-related expenditure • RMB1.80 million on extreme-weather resilience (cooling, drainage, inventory replacement). • RMB21,600 for carbon-credit purchases under the national ETS.

Industry certifications ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 45001, ISO 50001, ISO 14064, ISO 14067, SA8000, IECQ QC 080000, TL 9000, ISO 27001 and ISO 37001 remain in force across major sites.

Outlook LEOCH will expand renewable-energy deployment, deepen supply-chain decarbonisation and refine climate-risk quantification to support the 2030 and 2050 emission-reduction milestones.
