China International Marine Containers (CIMC) published its 2025 Sustainable Development & Environmental, Social and Governance Report, detailing progress on governance upgrades, low-carbon transition and supply-chain collaboration.
Key governance updates • The Board renamed its Strategy Committee to the “Strategy and Sustainable Development Committee” and merged sustainability and HSE functions into a single execution body, forming a four-tier ESG governance framework. • 126 action plans have been launched to meet new Shenzhen and Hong Kong stock-exchange disclosure rules.
Climate and environmental metrics • Total carbon emissions fell 12.30 % to 1.13 million tCO₂e; Scope 1 accounted for 33.4 % and Scope 2 for 66.6 %. • VOC emissions dropped 10 % year-on-year to 375.73 t. • Renewable energy covered 8 % of electricity demand (up two percentage points), aided by 50 rooftop-PV projects with 158 MW of installed capacity. • Four factories achieved (near) zero-carbon status; certified green factories rose to 46, including 31 at national level.
Business impact • Revenue from green and low-carbon products and services exceeded 10 % of group turnover. • R&D spending reached RMB 2.79 billion, or 1.78 % of revenue; 286 invention patents were granted, lifting the portfolio to 5,733. • CIMC now counts nine “manufacturing individual champion” enterprises and 18 specialised “little-giant” entities.
Supply-chain and compliance highlights • Five subsidiaries were admitted to China’s national green supply-chain list. • 67 % of suppliers have signed sunshine-compliance agreements; 31 % received ESG training. • No major information-security, environmental or corruption cases were recorded in 2025.
Forward climate targets • CIMC aims to peak operational carbon emissions before 2030 and achieve operational carbon neutrality before 2060, supported by a three-phase roadmap covering green manufacturing, circular-economy integration and zero-carbon technology deployment.
