Mr. Wang Tianyi, CEO of Everbright International, said, "Ji'nan Project and Boluo Project, which are located in the north and south of China respectively, are both strategically important to Everbright International. As a demonstration project built in line with the Group's 'Producing Quality Projects and Building a Quality Brand' strategy, as well as a hub for science popularisation and education in Shandong Province, Ji'nan Project has been awarded the 'Luban Prize' (National Quality Project) by the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development of the People's Republic of China. Separately, Boluo Project is the first project by Everbright International to have completed construction and commenced operation in Guangdong Province. As an innovative ecological and environmental protection park, the national AAA-rated waste-to-energy project embodies the Lingnan culture, while serving as a hub for environmental protection education and an environmental-friendly tourist attraction.

Mr. Wang added, "With the two projects completing construction and commencing operations, the Group will consistently implement rigorous management practices and improve technology and standards. We are confident that the Group is able to continue providing local areas with better solutions for the harmless treatment, reduction and reuse of waste, which will constantly support the ecological conservation and the sustainable development of the local areas."
