Nanwang Publishes Inaugural 2025 Sustainability Report

FUJIAN, China – April 2026 – Fujian Nanwang Environment Protection Scien-tech Co., Ltd. (Nanwang, stock code: 301355), the first listed company in China’s eco-friendly paper bag industry, has officially released its first Sustainability Report. The report covers the period from January 1, 2025 to December 31, 2025 and provides a comprehensive overview of the company’s environmental, social and governance (ESG) practices, performance data, and future commitments.

As a leading provider of sustainable packaging solutions – including экологичные бумажные пакеты and food-grade paper packaging – Nanwang serves multiple Fortune Global 500 enterprises and has been ranked among China’s Top 100 Packaging and Printing Enterprises for seven consecutive years. The publication of this inaugural Sustainability Report marks a significant milestone in the company’s journey toward transparent, responsible and long-term value creation.

Environmental Stewardship: Embedding Circularity into Operations

The report highlights Nanwang’s progress in building a resource-efficient and low-carbon production system. Key environmental achievements include:

• FSC Certification: Five factories obtained Forest Stewardship Council Chain of Custody (FSC-COC) certification, ensuring that all paper-based products originate from responsibly managed forests.
• Renewable Energy: 65% of rooftops across production facilities are covered by distributed photovoltaic systems. When fully connected, the Fujian North and South factories are expected to generate 8.32 million kWh annually, meeting 40% of their total electricity demand.
• Carbon Reduction: A waste heat recovery project enables the annual recovery of 1,128.6 TJ (terajoules) of heat, reducing carbon dioxide emissions by 775 tonnes per year – equivalent to the carbon sink effect of planting 1,059 trees.
• Bio-based Innovation: The company has advanced PHA bio-based coating technology, which degrades naturally in soil and ocean without industrial composting. The first batch of pilot paper cups has been successfully produced.
• Waste Management: Total volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions were maintained at 11.57 tonnes, and 93.6% of non-hazardous waste (over 10,700 tonnes) was recycled.
• Compliance: During the reporting period, the company recorded zero environmental violations or major administrative penalties.

Nanwang also introduced innovative green products, including a waterproof self-sealing paper bag that won the Gold Award for Market Potential Development at the World Packaging Awards 2025, PFAS-free coated paper cups, and innovative paper-for-plastic solutions tailored for e-commerce and garment packaging.

People-Centric Workplace: Safety, Development and Inclusion

Nanwang’s sustainability strategy places people at the center. During the reporting period:

• Occupational Health: Zero work-related fatalities were recorded. The Fujian factory obtained ISO 45001 occupational health and safety management system certification. A total of 133 hazards were identified and rectified, achieving a 100% completion rate.
• Safety Training: The company conducted 74 safety training sessions and 4 emergency drills, with 1,391 employee participations.
• Employee Satisfaction: Satisfaction reached 84.8% among frontline workers (up 8.92% from 2024) and 81.12% among staff and above (up 3.81%).
• Diversity & Inclusion: The workforce consists of 40.2% female employees and includes nine persons with disabilities, supported by accessible facilities and targeted subsidies.
• Talent Development: More than 13,300 training hours were delivered, covering professional skills, compliance, and leadership development.

The company strictly prohibits child labor, forced labor, and any form of discrimination. Open communication channels, including a labor union and worker congress, ensure that employee voices are heard and addressed.

Value Chain Collaboration and Industry Leadership

Nanwang actively collaborates with customers and suppliers to advance shared sustainability goals.

• Global Brand Partnerships: The company works closely with Yum China, having joined the Yum China Green Power Alliance. In partnership with McDonald’s, Nanwang developed waterproof paper bags made from renewable raw materials, adopting clean printing processes with fluorine-free papers.
• Supply Chain ESG: Supplier ESG surveys have been initiated, focusing on carbon footprint, water management, working hours, and labor rights.
• Standard Setting: Nanwang has led or participated in the drafting of more than ten national and group standards, including those for paper cups, paper straws, and fluorine-free grease-proof materials.
• Cooperative R&D: The company has contributed to industry development through joint R&D with the Beijing Institute of Graphic Communication and Shaanxi University of Science & Technology, licensing its patented technologies to industry peers.

Social Contribution & Robust Governance

During 2025, cumulative investment in public welfare activities reached RMB 298,219, supporting elderly care programs, scholarships for 200 primary school students, disability art troupes, and local cultural/sports sponsorships.

Robust governance underpins all of Nanwang’s operations:

• Board Diversity: The Board of Directors comprises seven members, including three independent directors (43%), ensuring diversity and independent oversight.
• Ethics & Anti-Corruption: No incidents of corruption or business ethics violations occurred. A whistleblower system directly managed by the Chairman ensures strict confidentiality protection.
• Data Security: Information security management is aligned with industry standards; no data breaches or system intrusions were recorded.
