Among the many participating companies, Carbonstop's client—Zhongrong Co., Ltd.—has been awarded a CDP A- score due to its outstanding environmental management performance, demonstrating exceptional achievement!
As a core packaging material supplier for global well-known brands, Zhongrong has always regarded sustainable development as one of its core strategies. In recent years, the company has actively promoted green transformation through a series of innovative initiatives, committed to reducing its carbon footprint, improving resource utilization efficiency, and contributing to global climate goals.
In terms of emissions reduction, the company has established a carbon neutrality roadmap, committed to achieving operational carbon neutrality as early as possible, and significantly reducing greenhouse gas emissions across the entire value chain. By optimizing production processes and promoting the use of renewable energy, the company has successfully reduced its carbon emission intensity by 17.6%. In addition, Zhongrong is actively promoting a circular economy model, reducing resource consumption and waste generation through product design innovation and supply chain collaboration.
Thanks to its outstanding achievements in the field of sustainable development, Zhongrong has received a "Gold" rating in the EcoVadis Corporate Social Responsibility Assessment with a high score, ranking in the top 3% globally in its industry. The assessment report shows that Zhongrong performed exceptionally well in all four dimensions. As a printing and packaging solutions service provider, Zhongrong is not only committed to providing competitive solutions and services for its customers, but also integrates sustainable development into the core of its business strategy.
This year's CDP scoring was significantly more challenging, and Zhongrong's A-level rating marks its attainment of a top-tier level in global environmental management. This achievement also reflects Carbonstop's strong capabilities in helping enterprises achieve carbon neutrality goals. How did Zhongrong stand out among numerous companies to achieve an A-level score? Carbonstop provides the professional answer:
In the climate change questionnaire, Zhongrong ensured the accuracy and completeness of its carbon emissions data by completing annual carbon inventories for Scopes 1, 2, and 3, along with third-party verification. Meanwhile, the company has implemented a series of energy-saving and emission-reduction projects and measures, effectively reducing carbon emissions, and has set long-term carbon reduction targets, committing to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050. Additionally, Zhongrong actively collaborates with suppliers, encouraging them to jointly undertake carbon reduction projects and incentivizing them through evaluation systems.
In the water security questionnaire, Zhongrong has meticulously recorded annual water consumption and other data, and established multiple water-related targets to ensure effective water resource utilization. At the same time, the company has established clear water management systems and wastewater reuse plans, further improving water use efficiency.
In the forests questionnaire, although Zhongrong has achieved certain results, there is still room for improvement. Therefore, the company plans to strengthen monitoring and assessment of deforestation and ecological footprints related to its products, actively participate in relevant initiatives, engage with stakeholders on environmental issues from multiple dimensions, and enhance collaboration and requirements regarding deforestation with suppliers to further improve its performance in forest conservation.
Zhongrong's representative stated: "We sincerely thank Carbonstop for their professional support and careful guidance, which helped us accurately grasp the direction and key points of carbon management, continuously improve our environmental management capabilities, and contribute Zhongrong's strength to global climate goals."
