ESG Report 2022

In order to promote water conservation work, Inner carried out water conservation optimization Mongolia Company fully implemented the key projects in the plants, bringing an increase in water environmental protection project for reuse of reuse rate and reduction in unnecessary water reclaimed water and set the goal of reusing all consumption. The water reuse of Inner Mongolia 3 reclaimed water during the Year. The treated Company is satisfactory, with 11,630 , 000m of wastewater is discharged to the reclaimed water water reclaimed, accounting for 64.60% of the total reuse system for treatment, achieving zero water consumption. This year, the group has also discharge of wastewater and reducing new water carried out 7 key water-saving optimization consumption. At the same time, Inner Mongolia projects in the workshop, aiming to increase water- Company implemented water conservation saving by approximately 2,224 tons. measures in production plants and offices and Water-saving Optimisation Projects in the Year Workshop 401: Concentrated evaporative condensate water was originally discharged directly, but now it is recycled for use in workshop 103, saving of water per year. 50,000 tons Workshop 402: Steam condensate water is used to replace dry hot water pipe water, saving of water per year. 4,000 tons Workshop 406: Steam condensate water is recycled to replace workshop drinking water, and machine seal cooling water is changed from direct discharge to loop use, saving of water per year. 30,000 tons Workshop 403: The direct discharge of concentrated wastewater is now recycled for cleaning use on the carbon dioxide removed in the workshop and domestic cleaning water, saving of water per year. 40,000 tons Workshop 406: Using benzoic acid handover liquid from high-temperature finished products to apply heat to low-temperature secondary dialysate, saving of steam per year. 2,190 tons Workshop 105: Concentrated evaporative condensate water was originally discharged directly, but now it is recycled for use, saving of water per year. 190,000 tons Workshop 407: After optimization, the drinking water that the tail gas absorption tower has been using is now replaced with concentrated water produced in workshop 203 without affecting the tail gas absorption effect, saving of water per year. 22,000 tons 70 Environmental, Social and Governance Report 2022 The United Laboratories International Holdings Limited Amount of Water (Cubic Metre) 2022 2021 2020 13 , 286 , 551 13 , 686 , 190 11 , 953 , 995 N/A N/A N/A Amount of Recycled 2 Reclaimed Water Amount of Discharged Reclaimed Water Amount of Water (Cubic Metre) 2022 2021 2020 Non-water-stressed Location: Water Usage of the Inner 1 Mongolia Company Water-stressed Location: Not Applicable 6,823,440 6,384,124 6,020,625 N/A N/A N/A Note: 2. The wastewater management for the Inner Mongolia Company has all of the wastewater recycled, with no discharged wastewater to destinations such as ocean, surface water, subsurface/well, and off-site water treatment. Note: 1. The source of water withdrawal for all of the water usage of the Inner Mongolia Company is municipal potable water, with no water withdrawn from sources such as groundwater from wells and boreholes, used quarry water collected in the quarry, surface water, external wastewater, harvester rainwater, and sea water and water extracted from the sea or the ocean.
