Achieving Zero-Carbon Factory Status
The theme for the 56th Earth Day in 2025 is “OUR POWER, OUR PLANET,” emphasizing the importance of renewable energy and tripling global clean electricity generation by 2030. ANGEL YEAST(DEHONG) CO., LTD (SH 600298) is stepping up its environmental commitment by launching a green response.
- Angel Yeast was officially designated as a Class I three-star “Zero-Carbon Factory” by the China Quality Certification Center on April 2, 2024.
- This milestone marks a significant step in the company’s dedication to green and low-carbon practices, promoting sustainable development and a cleaner environment.
Zero-Carbon Factory: A Comprehensive Approach
A “Zero-Carbon Factory” represents an advanced green facility that minimizes greenhouse gas emissions through the use of energy-saving technologies, renewable energy, and negative carbon practices. Any remaining emissions are offset through carbon neutralization projects, striving to “reduce as much as possible.”
Scope 1 (Direct Emissions) | Scope 2 (Indirect Energy Emissions) | Reduced Emissions Ratio |
50% or higher | 50% or higher | Over 50% for residual emissions |
Angel Yeast’s Comprehensive Carbon Reduction Framework
DEHONG’s attainment of the “Class I three-star” certification emphasizes the company’s dedication to reducing emissions through the integration of strategies such as:
- Photovoltaic power generation
- Biomass energy substitution
- Carbon footprint monitoring
This framework not only minimizes emissions but also promotes sustainable development and sets a benchmark for the green evolution of the Angel Yeast Group.
Wu Xiaofeng’s Vision for the Company’s Sustainable Development Strategy
Assistant to the General Manager and Department Head of Production Management at Angel Yeast, Wu Xiaofeng, highlighted the importance of energy efficiency, emissions reduction, and green production in the company’s growth strategy.
