On November 18, the China Association for Public Companies convened the 2025 Listed Companies Sustainable Development Conference, and released the annual selections for Sustainable Development Best Practice Cases and Board of Directors Best Practice Cases. Recognized for its exemplary performances in ESG governance and compliant board operations, China Shenhua was selected for both honors. Song Jinggang, Chief Financial Officer and Board Secretary, was invited to attend the release event and delivered a keynote speech titled Guided by Vision, Anchored by Systems, and Multi-dimensional Collaboration, Striving to Be a Leader in the Green and Low-Carbon Transition of the Energy Industry.

The selection process for the 2025 Listed Companies Sustainable Development Best Practice Cases involved multiple rigorous stages, such as an open call, preliminary screening, expert review, and third-party integrity verification. Representative best cases were chosen based on three dimensions including environment, society, and sustainable governance and integrated practices.

China Shenhua’s fourth consecutive year of inclusion stems from its strong ESG governance, deep integration of green development concepts into strategy and active alignment with national “carbon peaking and carbon neutrality” goals, fully implementing its duty and development path of prioritizing ecology and pursuing green and low-carbon practices.

To promote compliant operations among listed company boards and highlight advanced governance practices, CAPCO has conducted the annual Board of Directors Best Practice Case selection since 2023. China Shenhua has been selected every year since the award’s inception, fully demonstrating the recognition it has earned from regulators and the market participants for its corporate governance and bolstering its positive image in the capital market.

In 2025, the Board of Directors and all directors of China Shenhua, centering on their functional positioning of “setting strategy, making decisions, and preventing risks”, focused on the Company’s distinctive characteristics and actively explored the development of a “scientific, rational, and efficient” board. Significant results were achieved in board operations, director appointment and performance, market value management, information disclosure, investor relations, and ESG management.

Currently, building on the continuous improvement of corporate governance, China Shenhua is consistently refining its ESG management and control system and enhancing ESG governance effectiveness, demonstrating the responsibility and commitment of a central state-owned energy enterprise in serving the “carbon peaking and carbon neutrality” goals and practicing high-quality development.
