The Group attaches importance to safety, environment, and occupational health management, and fully implements along-term HSE management mechanism. To improve the effective implementation of management mechanisms in operations, the Group’s urban services business segment has formulated the Guidelines for Safe Operations ( 《 安全行動準則》), Interim Measures for the Management of Dangerous Operations (《危險作業暫行管理辦法》), Management System of Personal Labor Protective Equipment (《個人勞動防護用品管理制度》), and Management System of Production Safety Expenses (《安全生產費用管理制度》)， and the Stakeholder Safety Management System (《相關方安全管理制度》). We have improved and revised the HSE Meeting Management System (《HSE 會議管理制度》), the HSE Accountability System (《HSE 問責制度》), the HSE Education and Training Management System (《HSE 教育培訓管理制度》), the HSE Inspection and Hidden Danger Investigation and Treatment System (《HSE 檢查及隱患排查治理制度》),and other HSE management systems according to actual management needs. The hazardous waste treatment business segment has formulated the Hazardous Operations Safety Management Regulations (《危險作業安全管理規定》), Hazard Source Identification and Risk Assessment Management Regulations (《危險源辨識與風險評價管理制度》), Fire Safety Management Regulations (《消防安全管理制度》), Occupational health management regulations (《職業衛生管理制度》), Management Regulations for Environmental Protection Facilities (《環保設施管理制度》), Regulations for Hidden Danger of Soil Pollution (《土壤污染隱患排查制度》),and the Stakeholder Management System (《相關方管理制度》). All of which resulted in the standardization of HSE management in project businesses and an effort to improve their capacity for autonomous control.
To effectively protect the safety and health of employees during production and operation activities, we have established a Safety Production Committee (“Safety Committee”), with the Chief Executive Officer of the Company as the director, the vice president as the deputy director in charge of urban services and hazardous waste treatment, and the responsible personnel of departments serve as members. The Group has established HSE management teams led by project managers in each project. These teams are staffed with safety management personnel according to the scale of various regional business units, operation centers, and project companies; Specialized work mechanisms with safety management personnel from project companies and front-line safety officers are formed, and we continuously enhance the professional skills and capability of project leaders and safety management personnel through professional training and assessments. This helps strengthen the organizational functions of safety management and standardize the management of HSE matters throughout the project lifecycle.
The Group remains vigilant in ensuring safety in production, maintaining strict and meticulous supervision without any slack. We consistently adhere to the fundamental policy of “safety first, prevention-oriented, and comprehensive management.”, and continuously strengthens employees’ occupational health protection and management.

With reference to the ISO 45001: 2018 Occupational Health and Safety Management System Requirements and Guidelines (《ISO 45001: 2018 職業健康安全管理體系要求及使用指南》), we continuously improve the Occupational Health and Safety Management Systems Manual (《職業健康安全管理體系手冊》), the Personal Safety Labour Protection Management System (《個人安全勞動防護用品管理制度》), the Safe Production Expense Management System (《安全生產費用管理制度》), the Interim Management Measures for Hazardous Operations (《危險作業暫行管理辦法》) and other safety management systems, and strictly implement safety production management and standardize production behavior, to reduce safety production accidents, and ensure employees’ health and safety.
