General Science won awards for "Top 50 Chinese Listed Companies with New Quality Productivity" and "Top 100 Chinese Listed Companies in ESG," highlighting its achievements in innovation and sustainability.
In the recently announced "China Listed Company Value Selection", General Science won two honors, namely the "Top 50 Chinese Listed Companies with New Quality Productivity" and the "Top 100 Chinese Listed Companies in ESG", thanks to its outstanding performance in scientific and technological innovation, sustainable development and other fields. This selection is hosted by Securities Times and is one of the evaluation systems for listed companies with important influence in China. It comprehensively evaluates multiple dimensions of enterprises, including their operating conditions, financial performance, innovation ability, market influence and social responsibility.
Since General Science was listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange in 2006, it has always adhered to the development driven by scientific and technological innovation, and taken the ESG concept and the construction of new quality productivity as the dual engines to promote the sustainable development of the enterprise. It has actively promoted the transformation and upgrading in the aspects of internationalization, intelligence and greening, and achieved remarkable results.
In terms of internationalization, General Science has actively responded to the "dual circulation" development strategy of domestic and international markets. Relying on the "5X Strategic Plan", it has built overseas production bases with Thailand and Cambodia as the core, accelerated the global industrial layout, and promoted the formation of a new development pattern. Currently, the second-phase project of General Science in Thailand, the domestic 6-million semi-steel tire technological transformation project and the second-phase project in Cambodia have all been put into production. The production capacity is being released at an accelerated pace, effectively meeting the international market demand and injecting strong impetus into the company's continuous growth.
In terms of intelligent transformation, General Science has made forward-looking arrangements for its digital strategy and increased its investment in the construction of Industry 4.0. It took the lead in the industry to build "lights-out workshops" for semi-steel tires and "5G Carbon Cloud Intelligent Factories" for all-steel tires, which significantly improved production efficiency and product quality. It also won honorary titles such as the "Excellent Scenarios of National Intelligent Manufacturing" and the "Demonstration Factory of Intelligent Manufacturing in Jiangsu Province". In addition, the company has actively replicated its domestic intelligent manufacturing experience to overseas bases in Thailand, Cambodia and other countries, creating model intelligent tire factories locally and gaining wide recognition.
In terms of green development, General Science has been guided by the "dual-carbon" strategy, actively promoted green transformation, and vigorously carried out research and development on new materials, new processes, new equipment, new products and new models ("Five New"). It has made the green tire series a new business growth point. In recent years, products launched by the company, such as the Longma series ET new energy commercial vehicle tires, the Celimo EV series new energy and GA8 high-performance passenger vehicle tires, and the CTM XR980 off-the-road wide-body mining truck tires, have won various awards and honors for consecutive years, including the "China's 500 Most Valuable Brands" and the "National User-Satisfied Products", thanks to their excellent performance and good market reputation.
In addition to the above three major strategies, General Science attaches great importance to talent development. Through a sound talent incentive mechanism and a broad development platform, it stimulates the potential of employees, enhances their sense of happiness and belonging, and provides strong support for the company's continuous development in the field of new quality productivity. Meanwhile, the company actively fulfills its social responsibilities, continuously invests in aspects such as promoting employment and providing educational support, and joins hands with partners in the upstream and downstream of the industrial chain to pay attention to issues such as work safety and environmental protection, jointly achieving a win-win green and intelligent development. In 2023, General Science won the "ESG New Benchmark Enterprise Award" from Securities Star.
Winning the two awards, namely the "Top 50 Chinese Listed Companies with New Quality Productivity" and the "Top 100 Chinese Listed Companies in ESG" this time, is a high recognition of General Science in aspects such as scientific and technological innovation, digital and intelligent transformation, and ESG practices. In the future, General Science will continue to adhere to the development concept driven by "ESG" and "new quality productivity", deepen scientific and technological innovation and digital transformation, continuously enhance its core competitiveness, and create greater value for society, shareholders and employees.
