Environmental Operation
With the impact of global environmental trends and social governance, the risk related to environmental protection is of constant concern to us and stakeholders. It is
particularly important to pursue ecological and green shipment to protect the marine environment and conserve the marine ecosystem given the strategically increasing
importance of oceans today.

We value green production, and strictly abide by domestic and foreign laws and regulations related to environmental protection, including but not limited to the Environmental
Protection Law of the People's Republic of China, the Energy Conservation Law of the People's Republic of China, and the Marine Environment Protection Law of the
People's Republic of China, the Law of the People's Republic of China on the Prevention and Control of Environmental Pollution Caused by Solid Waste, the Law of the
People's Republic of China on the Prevention and Control of Water Pollution, the Implementation Scheme of the Domestic Emission Control Areas for Atmospheric Pollution
from Vessels and the International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships. All of our subordinate companies have assigned staff to follow the latest tendencies
of environmental protection at home and abroad, and continuously incorporate new requirements and standards into the corporate policies and administrative measures. At
the same time, guided by ISO140001 Environmental Management System, RB/104-2013/ISO50001:2018 Energy Management System, we have established and operated
an environment and energy management mechanism in line with our own operating conditions. The environment and energy management mechanism was approved by
external professional institutions each year to ensure effectiveness.

Besides, we also actively promote environmental protection and respond to inquiries from stakeholders. During 2019, we did not violate any relevant environmental laws and
regulations.
