ESG Report 2020

78 Environmental, Social and Governance Report 2020 The United Laboratories International Holdings Limited Paper products Consumption of packaging materials per tonne of products (kg) Plastic products Paper products 1. The standard of exhaust gas follows the amount of air emission stated on the pollutant discharge license. 2. The sources of exhaust gas emission includes the exhaust gas emission from production and vehicles. The data is calculated based on the actualamount of emission and the Reporting guidance on Environmental KPIs published by HKEX. 3. The data refers to the actual amount of non-hazardous wastes. Inner Mongolia Company has made greater efforts on energy conservation and emission reduction in the Year by anaerobic digestion of sludge. Also, as product production decreased comparing to last year, the total non- hazardous waste produced has decreased comparing to last year. 4. The data refers to the actual amount of hazardous waste. 5. Sources of Scope1 – direct greenhouse gas emission includes the fuel combustion for stationary sources and vehicle, and the consumption of refrigerants, while the reduction of greenhouse gas comes from tree planting in the production plant. The data is calculated based on the Chinese national standards GB/T32151.10 - 2015 Requirements of the greenhouse gas emissions accounting and reporting – Part 10: Chemical production enterpriseand the Reporting guidance on Environmental KPIs published by the HKEX. 6. Sources of Scope2 – indirect greenhouse gas emission of energy includes the greenhouse gas emission involved in purchased electricity. The data is calculated based on 2011 and 2012 Average Carbon Dioxide Emission Factors for Regional Power Grids in China issued by the National Development and Reform Commission of the People's Republic of China. 7. Sources of Scope3 – other indirect greenhouse gas emission includes the greenhouse gas emission generated from employees'business travels, water and wastewater treatment and disposal of paper to landfills. The data is calculated based on the Carbon Emissions Calculator of the International Civil Aviation Organization and the Reporting guidance on Environmental KPIs published by HKEX. 8. The calculation of total energy consumption includes fuel combustion for stationary sources and vehicle, and purchased electricity. The data is calculated based on the conversion factors provided in the Guidelines for Accounting and Reporting of Greenhouse Gas Emissions of Road Transport Corporation (Trial) issued by the National Development and Reform Commission of the People's Republic of China, the Chinese national standards Gb17930 - 2016 Gasoline in Vehicles and the Chinese national standards GB/T32151.10 - 2015 Requirements of the greenhouse gas emissions accounting and reporting – Part 10: Chemical production enterprise. 9. Due to the pandemic, Inner Mongolia Company had fewer business travels and customer audits, leading to a drastic decrease in fuel combustion for vehicles compared to last year. 10. The data refers to the actual amount of water consumption. The total water consumption decreased comparing to last year as Inner Mongolia Company fully implemented the reuse of reclaimed water. 11. Amount of purchased water saved refers to the amount of water saved because of the reuse of reclaimed water. 12. The data is based on the Group's records of actual consumption of packaging materials. The specification of products changed during the Year in the way of a change in the proportion of larger and smaller packaging, resulting in the change in the consumption of plastic and paper products respectively. 2,002 1,496 9.53 48.19 11.65 39.26 - - - Water consumption per tonne of products Packaging Materials Consumption 12 Total consumption (tonnes) Plastic products 396 444 - Greenhouse Gas (tonnes of CO e) 2 Total emission 5 Scope 1 – direct emission 6 Scope 2 energy indirect emission 7 Scope 3 other indirect emission Total emission of greenhouse gas per tonne of products Energy Consumption (MWh) 10 Total consumption 7,213,652 Indirect energy consumption 281,242 219,429 Purchased electricity 281,242 219,429 Total energy consumption per tonne of products 88.45 85.33 6,422,744 3 Water consumption (m ) Total emission 8 3,675,013 3,251,101 Direct energy consumption 3,393,771 3,031,672 Fuel combustion for stationary sources 3,393,376 3,031,510 9 Fuel combustion for vehicles 394 162 - - - - - - - - Indicator 2019 2020 1 Standard 173.63 168.58 - Amount of reclaimed water 7,267,241 11,953,995 - 11 Amount of purchased water saved 2,601,779 8,125,005 - 1,348,441 1,096,278 248,702 3,460 1,176,808 979,680 194,041 3,086 - 32.46 30.89 - - - -
