Message from the Chairman
Based on ecology and moving towards green development we have painted the development background with meticulous craftsmanship. Green
and low-carbon practices are the inevitable path for high-quality corporate development. In 2025 we have formulated the 15th Five-Year Plan for
Energy Conservation and Carbon Reduction continuously increasing investment in environmental protection. Throughout the year we have allocated
RMB 69889800 to environmental protection efforts delving deeply into the development path of "green brewing and intelligent manufacturing" to
enhance environmental governance and efficiency. On the production front the second phase of the distributed photovoltaic power station project was
fully implemented expanding the supply of green electricity. The intelligent management platform for "energy + dual carbon" operated efficiently with
technologies such as brewing waste heat recovery being widely promoted. The Intelligent Industrial Park saved approximately 500000 tons of water and
20000 tons of standard coal annually reducing carbon emissions per unit of product by 18%. We have been successfully selected as "China's Top Runner
for Industrial Carbon Peaking." In terms of recycling we have overcome industry challenges in the resource utilization of high-concentration wastewater
in brewing recycling over 600000 tons of solid waste such as distiller's grains and establishing a circular economy industry chain that "makes full use of
resources." We have added one National Green Factory and one provincial green factory building a robust green development barrier from point to area.From production processes to waste recycling and from energy structure optimization to eco-friendly technology innovation we have empowered green
transformation with technology allowing the ecological wisdom of oriental brewing to continuously shine in practice.Based on a responsibility-centered approach and acting towards goodness we have practiced the responsibility of state-owned enterprises
through integrated development. We have always borne in mind the "major concerns of the country" integrating social responsibility into our
development context. With an inclusive and sharing mindset we ensure that the fruits of development benefit a broader range of groups demonstrating
our corporate sentiment of "benefiting society" through concrete actions. We have deepened the model of "agriculture to the forefront and industry
to follow" promoting "contract farming" for raw grain and establishing high-quality raw grain bases to the standards of a "first production workshop."
Simultaneously we have dispatched resident village officials to the frontlines of rural areas providing price guarantees technical guidance and sales
support to farmers thereby activating rural development vitality through industrial revitalization. We have fostered a corporate culture that emphasizes
integrity and righteousness implemented the "Three-Listening and Three-System" approach conducted regular all-staff training improved a multi-
tiered and comprehensive welfare support system and provided assistance to those in difficulty and support for education enhancing employees' sense
of happiness and fulfillment. We have remained committed to quality deeply rooted in quality control and continuously improved a comprehensive
quality control system from raw grain to raw liquor and from liquor bodies to packaging thus safeguarding the safety of consumers' taste buds. We
have kept enhancing the quality of our services building a bridge of connection with consumers through sincere service and conveying the warmth of
our brand. We have integrated ESG concepts into our cooperation system and facilitated value co-creation and green coexistence with upstream and
downstream partners in the industry chain continuously transforming the "green content" of the baijiu industry into "gold content" for development.We have promoted the "good-person" culture and continuously carried out public welfare activities such as "Golden Autumn Student Assistance and
Scholarships" "Respect for the Elderly in the Double Ninth Festival" and emergency rescue transmitting positive energy and uniting forces for good to
society.Based on governance and advancing towards substance we have consolidated the development foundation with standardized management.Governance is the "stabilizer" for sustainable corporate development. Led by Party building safeguarded by the rule of law and bound by compliance
we have continuously improved our modern corporate governance system. In 2025 we have continuously refined the governance structure where the

Ecological Protection
We comply with international conventions such as the Convention on Biological Diversity. Our plant locations and operational areas do not
involve the ecological protection red line environmental quality bottom line resource utilization upper line and environmental access negative
list. The areas within the environmental impact scope of the Company do not include key ecological functional zones nature reserves or other
areas with important ecological functions or sensitive/vulnerable ecological environments. Upholding the brewing philosophy of "brewing in
harmony with nature and humanity" we focus on protecting the bay of the Guohe River the bend area of the Xiaohong River two millennium-
old wells and Gujing's nationally protected "meritorious fermentation pits" built in the Ming and Qing dynasties which are home to over 600
beneficial microbial communities. Moreover we actively promote ecological restoration and sustainable utilization of natural resources ensuring
that our production activities do not disrupt local biodiversity. During the implementation of the intelligent brewing transformation project we
adopted a comprehensive biodiversity protection strategy of "avoidance mitigation restoration and transformation" to minimize the impact
of our operations on the surrounding ecological environment. Specific measures include designating a protected area for a century-old Chinese
honey locust tree and during the treatment of the Hongyan River preserving wetlands adopting ecological slope protection and constructing
protective forest belts to protect biodiversity.During the reporting period our factories expanded green space by 151 mu bringing the total greening area to 1011 mu continuously enhancing
the green ecological foundation and contributing to the harmonious coexistence of liquor production and the ecological environment.Plastic Pallets Replacing Disposable Wooden Pallets with No Print of the Outer Packaging Box
Circular Economy
We vigorously develop the circular economy and continuously carry out the resource utilization of wastewater and solid waste. We have
developed a process for the resource utilization of high-concentration wastewater from liquor production transforming waste products such as
yellow seriflux (a byproduct of fermentation) leachate from distiller's grains and feints into high-value products through new processes. This
maximizes the lifecycle of products and materials improves resource efficiency and reduces solid waste emissions. The slag and waste gypsum
from the Company's thermal power station are recycled by a renewable resources company as raw materials for building materials.In 2025 we effectively utilized about 590000 tons of distiller's grains 800.74 tons of spent fermentation husk 11733 tons of discarded fly ash
