Mr. Chen Xiaoping, CEO of Everbright International, said, "Changzhou Project, Jiangyin Project and Yixing Project are all important waste-to-energy projects for the Group; they have adopted high operation standards and strictly adhered to emission requirements, which has been recognized by local governments. The three projects were once again approved to increase their waste processing fees last year end and early this year, following coordination with relevant local government departments. This laid a solid foundation for the long-term steady development of the Group's projects. The adjustment of waste processing fees not only shows that local governments pay great attention to environmental protection and the sustainable development of society, but it also demonstrates their support and recognition of Everbright International's waste-to-energy business. We shall continue to adhere to our principle of high quality and high standards regarding our project operation, and enhance the management level, so as to achieve an overall growth of the Group's waste-to-energy business."
