Operating with Green Sustainability
Joincare adheres to the principle of green development. While strictly following the environmental compliance requirements, we deeply integrate the concept of “green and low-carbon” into all aspects of our operations and management. We actively advocate the use of clean energy, practice low-carbon operation modes, strengthen resource conservation actions, and reduce waste emissions, to improve our environmental management performance in a comprehensive manner. The goal is to better contribute to the national goals of “carbon peaking” and “carbon neutrality” and the harmonious coexistence between man and nature.
EHS Management Structure
To enhance the EHS management level, Joincare continuously improves the EHS management structure to define responsibilities and ensure their performance according to the EHS Management Policy. As the highest responsible body, the Sustainable Development Committee of the Board of Directors is responsible for formulating EHS-related strategies and policies, such as those on environmental management and resource utilisation, regularly reviewing the Group’s performance in environmental management performance, and reporting EHS issues to the Board of Directors.
Production subsidiaries of the Group have also developed a standardised EHS management system. As the first responsible person for EHS, the general manager is in charge of the overall environmental protection work; as the directly responsible persons, supervisors or department managers are in charge of the preparation of EHS initiatives, filing to the EHS Department of the Group, and supervision of the implementation of specific initiatives; and the employees of the subsidiaries cooperate with the Group’s EHS policy and their EHS responsible persons in EHS management.
As of the end of the reporting period, the Group’s headquarters and all manufacturing subsidiaries had obtained ISO 14001 Environmental Management System certification, achieving a 100% certification rate.

Integrating environmental performance into management’s remuneration
The management’s remuneration is linked with the Group’s environmental performance to accelerate the realisation of energy conservation, emission reduction, and carbon emission goals. ESG indicators have been added to the individual performance assessment of all SustainabilityWorking Group members since 1 January 2022, with a weight of 10% in the total performance system.

Continuing to Strengthen Environmental Management
Joincare strictly enforces internal audit procedures to ensure effective implementation of Environmental, Health, and Safety (EHS) management. Each year, we conduct no fewer than two internal EHS audits for each subsidiary. Following each audit, we promptly compile and consolidate findings, require corrective actions for non-conformities, and supervise rectification efforts. Continuous follow-up is conducted to ensure full remediation. Additionally, we undergo annual reviews and third-party surveillance audits for ISO 14001, ISO 45001, and ISO 50001 certifications. These audits include energy audits, waste audits, water resource assessments, and water balance tests to explore opportunities for energy conservation, water savings, and resource efficiency improvements.
In 2024, we conducted an energy review covering all facilities within the scope of our management systems. By analyzing energy use and consumption, we identified energy types, optimized management of energy-critical facilities and equipment, and prioritized opportunities to improve energy performance with targeted corrective measures. Furthermore, Tai Tai Pharmaceutical and Jiaozuo Joincare engaged professional service providers to conduct water balance tests in July 2024 and January 2025, respectively. The test reports were reviewed and approved by experts from the water authorities. Water balance testing for Joincare Haibin and Haibin Pharmaceutical is currently underway. These assessments help us better understand water usage, identify water-saving potential, and support our environmental sustainability goals.
We also provide regular employee training on energy conservation, water use reduction, and waste minimization to promote responsible resource behavior and improve performance. In 2024:
Haibin Pharmaceutical conducted energy efficiency training for employees in energy-intensive roles and provided energy audit training to enhance understanding of energy policies and inspections.
Tai Tai Pharmaceutical delivered hazardous waste management training, covering waste identification, proper storage, and emergency response for spills.
Jiaozuo Joincare held water conservation training for departmental heads, including policy briefings and practical water-saving measures.
In total, Joincare's manufacturing subsidiaries held 14 training sessions in 2024 focused on energy efficiency, waste management, and water efficiency improvement.
GHG Emissions Targets
The Group’s greenhouse gas emissions primarily originate from fuel combustion, electricity consumption, and purchased steam used in production and operations. In 2022, the Group approved the Resolution on Establishing Carbon Emission Environmental Management Targets for Joincare, setting carbon emission targets for the period from 2022 to 2025. The Group is committed to reaching peak carbon emissions by 2028 and achieving carbon neutrality (Scope 1 and Scope 2) by 2055.
