This is an important recognition of its commitment to developing environmental protection business, contributing to society and consistently improving our corporate governance capability. Everbright Greentech will continue to remain true to its original aspiration and keep its mission firmly in mind, making contributions to environmental protection and sustainable development in both domestic and international communities.
