-Feature II:Circular Economy - Resource Regeneration Green Transformation
Our subsidiary CHUANNING BIOTECH actively responds to the national call and attaches great importance to environmental
protection. It constantly adheres to the strategy of "Environmental Protection First and Sustainable Development". In particular
CHUANNING BIOTECH incorporates the concepts of environmental protection green and low-carbon and sustainable develop-
ment in all aspects of its business operations continues to optimize its production processes and methods and gradually shifts
its focus from traditional end-of-pipe pollution treatment towards source reduction promotes deep integration of economic
social and environmental benefits step up its paces in building an environment-friendly enterprise and aims to set the industri-
al benchmark for“ Three Waste” management.Wastewater Treatment Measures
CHUANNING BIOTECH firmly persists in the principle of "subtraction" in its wastewater treatment process aiming for near-zero discharge. Following pretreat-
ment procedures that involve source-based cascade recycling and utilization of wastewater of different qualities from fermentation and extraction workshops
the Company employs an integrated processing technology that combines biochemical treatment mechanical vapor recompression (MVR) and advanced treat-
ment using special membranes (DT) along with high-quality recycling and reuse of recycled water. This primary objective of this approach is to minimize the
discharge of production wastewater into the environment conserve water resources and significantly reduce the overall emissions of pollutants such as chemi-
cal oxygen demand (COD) ammonia nitrogen and salt. The wastewater treatment system implemented by CHUANNING Biotech is a leader in the antibiotic API
(intermediates) industry. Over 80% of the deeply-treated water is recycled and reused with high quality for various applications including production prepara-
tion power plant boilers and replenishment for the circulating cooling water system. The small amount of wastewater discharged meets stringent standards
falling well below the special discharge limit as per the Discharge Standards for Water Pollutants for Pharmaceutical Industry ? Fermentation Productions
Category (GB21903-2008) and COD level is less than 20mg/l and the ammonia nitrogen lever remains below 2mg/l.Exhaust Gas Treatment Measures
Strictly adhering to the principles of“ source reduction enclosed collection classified treatment and comprehensive reinforcement” CHUANNING BIOTECH has
established an centralize system for collecting waste gases emitted from workshops and operation units and has taken the lead to innovatively introduce a series
of high-end integrated treatment technologies tailored for the pharmaceutical industry encompassing negative pressure enclosed collection pretreatment
molecular sieve or activated carbon adsorption and concentration as well as high-temperature oxidative combustion. Through these measures CHUANNING
BIOTECH has significantly improved its removal efficiency of major pollutants at the exhaust gas outlet reaching 95% at least. At the same time the volatile
organic compounds (VOCs) in the purified exhaust gas are maintained below 5ppm and the intensity of exhaust gas emission is much lower than the relevant
national environmental protection standards. Moreover CHUANNING BIOTECH has systematically resolved the problem of odor nuisance and achieved the deep
waste gas purification during antibiotic production and "near-zero emission" for major pollutants from waste gas.Waste Treatment Measures
CHUANNING BIOTECH invested 15 million CNY in the demonstration project for the regeneration of saturated granular activated carbon with a daily regeneration
capacity of 15 tons. The project innovatively utilizes biogases produced from anaerobic reactors in biochemical treatment of wastewater as clean fuels for
activated carbon regeneration process. The adsorption performance of the regenerated activated carbon can be restored to approximately 95% of that of new
activated carbon. Consequently the project annually reduces the need to purchase nearly 4000 tons of new activated carbon translating into savings of over 50
million CNY in waste gas treatment costs and contributes to a reduction in Carbon Dioxide (CO2) emissions by more than 500 tons. By enhancing the frequency of
activated carbon replacement in the waste gas treatment process CHUANNING BIOTECH is not only able to efficiently ensure the effectiveness of exhaust gas
treatment during antibiotic production but also facilitates the recycling and utilization of solid waste resources. Furthermore CHUANNING BIOTECH can mitigate
the substantial waste gas emissions arising from the incineration of used activated carbon achieving noteworthy synergistic effects of pollution reduction and
carbon reduction.In addition CHUANNING BIOTECH has taken "maximizing resource utilization and minimizing environmental pollution" as its
mission "pilot demonstration of harmless treatment and resource utilization of antibiotic residue" as its orientation and "setting
up an environmental protection model for the global antibiotic industry" as its development concept. It actively responds to the
national programs promoting the use of organic fertilizers and reducing the use of chemical fertilizers takes the initiative to
create a green circular economy development model within the pharmaceutical industry and strives to become a leading model
enterprise in green economy.Research on Harmless Treatment of Antibiotic Residue and Circular Economy
Relying on the R&D and innovation platform of the National Environment Protection Engineering and Technology Center for Harmless Treatment and Resource
Utilization of Antibiotic Residue CHUANNING BIOTECH has set up a special project team to address the challenges of harmless and resourceful utilization of
antibiotic residue. Taking penicillin cephalosporin and erythromycin antibiotic residues organic fertilizer base materials as the research objects the team focuses
on the process for the harmless and resourceful utilization of antibiotic residue the quality requirements for residue and harmless resourceful organic fertilizer
products the identification of harmless physicochemical and toxicological characteristics and the analysis and detection methods for antibiotic residues in
products biological safety indicators of products antibiotic residues in soil and crops and other characteristic pollutant indicators such as resistance genes. This
provides a fair systematic and scientific testing and analysis platform for the resource utilization of residue by pharmaceutical companies and the implementation
of risk management by regulatory authorities.At the same time CHUANNING BIOTECH possesses the key integrated and automated technologies and equipment for harmless treatment including high-tem-
perature and high-pressure hydrolysis spray drying disc drying and electron beam irradiation. These technologies are used to transform the residue generated
during the antibiotic fermentation process into organic fertilizer through harmless treatment which is then used for the cultivation of industrial corn soybeans
and other crops. The harvested corn soybeans and other crops are then fully reused as raw materials in the antibiotic fermentation production process forming
a closed-loop model for the harmless and resourceful treatment of antibiotic residue that is fully supervised by environmental regulatory authorities and the
public with controlled risks. This establishes a cross-industry green and low-carbon circular economy industrial chain system between modern biopharmaceuti-
cals and modern agriculture.

quality (qualification rate per batch anomalies quality audit notification of change quality/EHS compliance) delivery (timeli-
ness delivery cycle accuracy) services (communication response support and cooperation) and others. After applying the
review matrix we categorize our suppliers into A B C and D-level and manage them with differentiated methods including
reducing/increasing the frequency of audits increasing/decreasing supply ratio and suspension/cancellation of supply qualifica-
tions.Change of Suppliers and Materials
Our change management requires supplier management for new or changed material. If any changes to the supplier and the
materials supplied the supplier should promptly notify us in accordance with the change management requirements stipulated in
the quality agreement. We will monitor product safety effectiveness and quality controllability of relevant changes in materials.We will determine the degree of risk and change the management category accordingly. Full research evaluation and necessary
verification will be carries out under relevant technical guidelines and quality management specifications if necessary. If the prod-
uct involved is a medicine preparation or API we would implement or reported after approval and filing to ensure that changes of
raw and auxiliary packages and those of the starting materials of APIs do not compromise the safety effectiveness and quality of
the drug.

03 CARBON MANAGEMENT
Greenhouse Gas Emission Management
We have long been focusing on the inventory and review of greenhouse gas emissions. In order to further enhance the manage-
ment level of greenhouse gas emissions we plan to use the total greenhouse gas emissions of 243.3 million tons in 2021 as a base-
line and set greenhouse gas emission management goals. While we are experiencing rapid growth we aims to gradually reduce
the growth rate of greenhouse gas emissions and ultimately achieve a peak in carbon emissions between 2025 and 2030. During
this reporting period the greenhouse gas emission intensity was 1.71 tons of CO2 equivalent per 10000 CNY of revenue.Our direct carbon emissions (Scope 1) mainly come from fixed emission sources (such as natural gas coal etc.) mobile emission
sources (such as company-owned vehicles etc.) and emissions from other production auxiliary facilities. Indirect carbon emis-
sions (Scope 2) mainly come from purchased electricity steam etc.Through calculations direct carbon emissions account for 82.37% of the total emissions (Scope 1 and Scope 2) with carbon emis-
sions from coal consumption accounting for 95.01% of direct emissions. Therefore our carbon reduction measures will mainly
target the coal consumption in Scope 1.Environmental Management in 2023

5.2 WASTEWATER MANAGEMENT
We have formulated documents such as the "Wastewater Treatment System Management Regulations" and "Wastewater Treat-
ment Management Manual" as the general guideline for wastewater management which require each of our affiliated production
companies to compile a standardized management system based on their own actual conditions to ensure the stable operation of
wastewater treatment facilities. Wastewater discharge meets standards and we continue to improve the quality of wastewater
effluent actively increase the proportion of wastewater reuse and increase the reuse rate of water resources.Chuanning Biotech first employs membrane treatment technolo-
gy to pretreat the wastewater of different qualities in workshops
and then sends it to the biochemical treatment system for anaer-
obic treatment converting the organic matter into methane.This methane is used as a clean fuel to enter the boiler for com-
bustion generating electricity and steam realizing the green
recycling of waste. The wastewater treatment utilizes the "sub-
traction emission" theory and adopts an internationally leading
integrated treatment system namely biochemical + MVR (me-
chanical vapor recompression) / DT (special membrane) +
advanced treatment technology to minimize the discharge of
production wastewater into the environment conserving water
resources and reducing the total emissions of pollutants such as
chemical oxygen demand (COD) ammonia nitrogen and salt.CHUANNING BIOTECH MVR Evaporation System The integrated system is at the leading level in the domestic anti-biotic raw material industry. The treated water can be used as
industrial water mainly for replenishing water in the production
circulating cooling system and water intake for power plant
boilers and production water preparation. For the small amount
of wastewater discharged the COD level is less than 20 mg/l
only 40% of the special discharge limit standard as per the
Discharge Standards for Water Pollutants for Pharmaceutical
Industry ? Fermentation Productions Category (GB21903-2008) .The main construction content of this project is to add a hydroly-
sis acidification and contact oxidation tank which will be used in
parallel with the primary treatment tank; to build a pretreatment
facility for penicillin and cephalosporin wastewater; to cancel
the pretreatment process of comprehensive preparation waste-
water; and finally form a "pretreatment + hydrolysis and acidifi-
cation" + contact oxidation" treatment process.YUEYANG BRANCH Sewage Expansion Project

5.4 NOISE MANAGEMENT
We have formulated the "Environmental Noise Management Measures" in accordance with the requirements of the "Noise Pollu-
tion Prevention and Control Law" and other regulations to guide the base in equipment selection and installation and noise con-
trol during the production process.When purchasing equipment we choose low-noise equipment as much as possible while ensuring that the equipment functions
meet normal production needs; when installing the equipment we adopt noise reduction measures such as vibration reduction
noise reduction and sound insulation; and installs silencers for all strong noise sources. ; Properly arrange comprehensive mea-
sures such as noise facilities at factory boundaries to reduce the impact of noise generated in the production process on the out-
side world.All our production enterprises of conduct factory boundary noise testing in accordance with national regulations to ensure that

Democratic Communication
We attach great importance to internal consultation and communication and encourage employees to provide occupational
health and safety opinions and suggestions through safety rationalization suggestion processes employee opinion boxes and
other means and timely provide feedbacks on the results of the handling. We provide employees with corresponding cash or
point rewards striving to establish an effective communication bridge between employees and managers and enhance their
sense of belonging and involvement.At the same time we have established a series of internal communication systems and processes. For example according to the
“Safety Production Meeting Management System” we regularly hold safety meetings with the participation of department heads
and safety management personnel to report on progress of safety work and to discuss existing problems and improvement mea-
sures. In addition we regularly release security work updates and notifications through internal office systems emails and other
means allowing employees to stay informed about the Company's security management situation and the latest policies.During the reporting period there were no

the principle of prevention first regularly conduct occupational disease hazard factor tests and occupational health monitoring
sessions systematically improve and update occupational health records and personal health monitoring records of employees
ensuring that the physical and mental health of every employee is effectively guaranteed.In 2023 KELUN PHARMA commissioned a third-party organization with occupational health technology service qualifications to
conduct regular occupational disease hazard factor testing for six subsidiaries (branches). The testing scope includes all places
with occupational disease hazard factors such as production workshops and supportive public projects. A total of 664 positions
were tested with a pass rate of 95.8%.In order to achieve refined management and risk prevention we have developed and implemented the Guidelines for Classifica-
tion of Occupational Disease Hazard Risk Operations Guidelines for Personal Protective Equipment Provision Guidelines for RiskAssessment of Highly Active Drug Operations”. Through the development and implementation of these professional norms we
effectively guide risk identification assessment and control activities at all levels and actively accept supervision and review from

4.4 WORK-RELATED INJURY MANAGEMENT
To fully protect the legitimate rights and interests of the Company and its employees We have established a system for the prevention
handling and declaration of work-related accidents in accordance with relevant laws and regulations such as the“ Work Safety Law”
“Social Insurance Law”“ Work-related Injury Insurance Regulations” and“ Production Safety Accident Reporting and Investigation andHandling Regulations”. In order to effectively control work-related accidents reduce the risk of work-related injuries from the source and
provide standardized operating procedures and scientific solutions for properly responding to various types of work-related accidents we
have formulated the "Safety Production Accident Investigation and Accountability Management System". To standardize the reporting
investigation and accountability procedures for production safety accidents prevent and reduce production safety accidents we have
established a safety accident investigation and handling mechanism graded and classified safety accidents and evaluated the economic
losses and other impacts that may arise from different types of safety accidents. At the same time we have established a safety reward and
punishment mechanism and the EHS department of each subsidiary (branch) company has established a reward and punishment record-
ing mechanism. Individuals or collectives who conscientiously implement national and group safety production rules and regulations are
rewarded with bonuses such as actively eliminating accident hazards preventing work-related accidents or subsidiaries (branches) that
have outstanding performance in accident handling and rescue and have achieved Z's annual safety responsibility goals well.At the same time the "Guiding Opinions on the Management of Work-related Injury Accidents for Employees" formulated by our Company
aims to standardize our rapid response mechanism in the event of work-related injury accidents strengthen the transparency and accuracy
of accident reports and ensure compliance with specific national regulations on work injury insurance declaration so as to minimize the
impact of work injuries on employees and safeguard their life safety and health rights to the greatest extent. By implementing this systematic
work-related injury management system we continuously optimize the occupational health and safety environment and continuously
improves our comprehensive management level and social responsibility performance.Security Accident Investigation Process
