Xin Point Hold published its 2025 Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) report, detailing upgraded governance, climate-risk controls and year-on-year resource savings across its automotive electroplating operations in Mainland China, Hong Kong and Mexico. The report was approved by the board on 26 March 2026.
Governance and Strategy • The board oversees ESG strategy and is supported by an ESG Working Group chaired by the Chief Financial Officer. • Materiality was reassessed; five top issues are greenhouse-gas (GHG) emissions, waste disposal, water management, climate-related risks and employee welfare. • Two climate scenarios (<2 °C and >4 °C) were analysed; mitigation and adaptation plans cover acute weather events, carbon pricing and market shifts. • Long-term transition targets—benchmarked to 2025—aim to cut energy, waste and GHG intensity by 3-5 % by 2030, 6-10 % by 2040 and 16-40 % by 2050.
Environmental Performance • Total GHG emissions rose to 198,516 tCO₂e (2024: 178,715 tCO₂e) as new production in Jiujiang ramped up; Scope 2 electricity remained the dominant source at 67,232 tCO₂e. • Indirect energy use fell 6 % to 140,372 MWh, while direct energy use increased to 6,063 MWh, driven by higher natural-gas demand for spraying lines. • Water consumption dropped 17 % to 428,697 m³ after recycling investments and stricter leak controls. • Non-hazardous waste fell 19 % to 2,652 t, but hazardous waste increased to 1,674 t because of higher electroplating sludge volumes; new sludge-dewatering and paint-residue filtration projects are underway. • Seven plants now operate rooftop solar systems; the Mexico site alone cuts 2,051 tCO₂e of emissions annually. Huizhou’s main plant gained ISO 50001 energy-management certification, and compressor and HVAC retrofits delivered a 19 % reduction in daily electricity use.
Social Highlights • Headcount stood at 5,118 (48.6 % women). • Average training hours reached 7.33 per employee; 93 % of general staff received training. • Seventeen work-related injuries were recorded (no fatalities), with 574 lost workdays. Safety drills, first-aid systems and PPE standards were strengthened. • Employee welfare initiatives included family support schemes, mental-health workshops and on-site medical check-ups. • Community spending totalled RMB 105.00 million and HKD 0.50 million, supporting education, elderly care and cultural exchanges.
Responsible Operations • All major sites hold IATF 16949 quality certification; two sites are ISO 9001-certified and seven have ISO 14001. • A zero-tolerance anti-corruption framework remains in force, backed by a whistle-blowing system and 432 training hours delivered to 216 staff in 2025. • Supplier governance requires ISO 9001 or IATF 16949 compliance; conflict-minerals due-diligence is mandatory. • No product recalls, material environmental breaches or data-privacy incidents were reported during the year.
Outlook The company plans to expand on-site renewable capacity, integrate internal carbon pricing into investment decisions and continue workforce up-skilling to support its transition towards lower-carbon, resource-efficient operations.
