Addressing Climate Change
As a globally pressing issue, climate change has not only brought opportunities for agricultural development but also posed significant challenges. In line with domestic and international initiatives to tackle climate change, the Company has proactively identified,
assessed, and managed climate-related risks and opportunities. Furthermore, the Company will continuously enhance its strategies and capabilities to manage such risks.
Evaluation of Climate-related Risks and Opportunities
The Company attaches great importance to the impacts of climate change. By analyzing potential impacts of factors such as extreme heat, flooding, drought, soil degradation, tightened policy regulations, and technological tran**ormation on its core business and oper-
ations, the Company has formulated relevant response measures. The aim is to enhance its understanding of climate-related impacts, risks, and opportunities, thereby laying the foundation for enhancing climate adaptation capacity.

Pollutant Emissions and Waste Treatment
The Company monitors and controls the exhaust gas, wastewater and solid waste (“Three Wastes”) generated from its production and business operations in strict accordance with Chinese laws and regulations such as the Law of the People's Republic of China on the Pre-
vention and Control of Atmospheric Pollution, the Law of the People's Republic of China on the Prevention and Control of Water Pollution, the Law of the People's Republic of China on the Prevention and Control of Environmental Pollution by Solid Wastes, as well as local
discharge permit standards. To reduce its ecological footprint, the Company implements a range of measures, including process optimization, workflow improvement, and equipment upgrades, to minimize pollutant emissions and reduce energy consumption. These efforts
reflect the Company's commitment to fulfilling its ecological protection responsibilities. To resolve the tough problem of disposal and treatment of “Three Wastes” from different sources and of different categories, the Company takes targeted measures to effectively control
exhaust gas emissions, meet wastewater discharge standards, and strike the maximum balance between environmental benefits and economic benefits of solid waste. In the future, the Company will pay continued attention to pollutant emissions reduction and recycling of
waste as resources, and continuously improve environmental performance through enhanced employee training and waste management.

Circular Economy
The Company is committed to exploring sustainable agricultural development models. In the pig farming business, demonstration projects in integrated planting and breeding have been carried out at large-scale farms in many regions across the country. To manage
pig farming waste, the approaches of “reduction and classified resource utilization” have been adopted to curb GHG emissions such as methane and nitrous oxide so as to create a low-carbon and sustainable agricultural ecosystem. A variety of approaches have also
been adopted to drive the industry development and increase the income of surrounding farmers, including land use rights tran**er, contract farming and contract rearing, public employment, industrial training, and circular utilization of organic fertilizers. These efforts
aim to strike synergistic balance among economic, ecological and social benefits.
Eco-circular Industrial Park for Pig Farming
The Company strictly adheres to local government regulations for the con-
struction of eco-circular pig farming communities. Upholding the principles of
integrated crop-livestock operations and swine manure resource utilization
of swine manure, the Company ensures that the scale of pig farming is
aligned with environmental carrying capacity. For instance, the Company
has built a “three-in-one” eco-circular pig farming industrial park in North
China, which integrates “ecological pig farming, comprehensive utilization of
swine manure, and green planting”. Adopting the “company farm” collabo-
rative development model, the project utilizes a 14 -kilometer dedicated
pipeline network to deliver biogas slurry and residue (biogas fertilizer)-gen-
erated from swine manure treatment, free of charge to four neighboring
administrative villages that cover over 20,000 mu (approximately 1,333
hectares) of farmland. By returning biogas fertilizers to farmland, the model
improves soil structure, enhances organic matter content, reduces the use of
chemical fertilizer and pesticides, and ameliorates farmland ecological envi-
ronments. Collectively, these efforts advance agricultural sustainability and
establish a replicable model for eco-friendly pig farming.
