SECCO Intelligent Equipment (Hefei) Co., Ltd. achieved its carbon neutrality goal in 2024

On June 6, 2025, SECCO Intelligent Equipment (Hefei) Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "SECCO") officially announced that after strict verification by an authoritative third-party agency, the company's greenhouse gas emissions in 2024 were 0 tons of carbon dioxide equivalent, successfully achieving the annual carbon neutrality goal and becoming a benchmark enterprise for green transformation in the field of environmental protection special equipment manufacturing.

As a key enterprise deeply engaged in the field of environmental protection special equipment manufacturing (C3591), SECCO has long integrated the concept of green development into the entire process of production and operation, and has always actively responded to the national "dual carbon" strategic deployment. The achievement of this carbon neutrality goal is not an accidental move, but an inevitable result of the company's continuous investment and systematic planning over the years. According to the verification report, SECCO's total electricity consumption in 2024 reached 665,000 kWh, all of which came from photovoltaic green power generation.

As a clean and renewable energy source, photovoltaic power generation achieves zero carbon emissions during the power generation process, cutting off the possibility of greenhouse gas generation from the source of energy. To ensure the stable supply of photovoltaic energy, SECCO has previously completed the comprehensive layout of photovoltaic power stations in the factory area. By combining rooftop distributed photovoltaic power generation systems with centralized photovoltaic power supply, the company has achieved self-sufficiency in production electricity. This initiative not only allows the company to completely get rid of its dependence on traditional fossil energy power generation, but also reduces a large amount of carbon emissions every year, while lowering electricity procurement costs, achieving a win-win situation of environmental and economic benefits.

The verification process is rigorous and the data is true and reliable

The verification process strictly followed the requirements of the "General Guidelines for the Accounting and Reporting of Greenhouse Gas Emissions from Industrial Enterprises". The third-party verification agency set up a professional team to conduct a comprehensive and detailed review of SECCO's emission boundaries, activity level data, accounting methods, etc. through multiple methods such as document review, on-site visits, and data cross-verification. In the initial stage of verification, there was a difference between the initial reported emissions and the final verification results due to incorrect filling of activity level data. After the enterprise promptly corrected and provided complete supporting materials, it was finally confirmed that the company had no greenhouse gas emissions in 2024, meeting the carbon neutrality certification standards. No uncovered issues were found during the verification process, and there were no abnormal fluctuations in emissions, which fully confirms the authenticity and reliability of the data.

"The achievement of the carbon neutrality goal is an important milestone on SECCO's path of green development, but it is by no means the end," said a relevant person in charge of the company. In the future, the company will continue to improve the greenhouse gas data management and internal audit system, further strengthen energy conservation and emission reduction measures, and promote the in-depth development of the construction of a green manufacturing system. Based on the core concept of "science and technology for environmental protection and green development", SECCO will increase R&D investment on the existing basis, focus on the R&D of more energy-saving, environmentally friendly, intelligent and efficient water treatment equipment and solutions, and help upstream and downstream enterprises achieve green transformation.

Continuous optimization of management towards a greener future

At the same time, the company will actively explore more green and low-carbon development paths, continue to make efforts in the optimization of production processes, the utilization of circular economy, and the construction of green supply chains, continuously improve resource utilization efficiency, and reduce the environmental impact of the entire production life cycle. As an independent legal entity enterprise, SECCO has always adhered to environmental responsibility. In the future, it will continue to lead the trend of green development in the industry with practical actions, contribute enterprise strength to China's ecological civilization construction, and write a new chapter of coordinated development between environmental protection and economic growth.
