Zhonghua Gas has released its tenth Environmental, Social & Governance (ESG) Report, covering the 12-month period from 1 April 2025 to 31 March 2026. The document, approved by the Board on 26 June 2026, details progress on sustainability, supply-chain governance and workforce management across its core Energy Business in Tianjin and Shanghai and its Hong Kong office.
Operational Scope and Governance • Core revenue continued to stem from the supply and management of liquefied natural gas (LNG) refuelling stations, complemented by investment-property leasing in Shanghai. • An ESG Working Group—led by the Company Secretary with HR and regional managers—reports directly to the Board, which retains oversight of climate-related and broader ESG risks. • Independent adviser Riskory Consultancy Limited supports ESG strategy and disclosure.
Workforce and Safety Metrics • Headcount rose to 30 full-time employees (16 men, 14 women). • No work-related fatalities or injuries were recorded for the third consecutive year; lost days due to injury were zero. • 43 % of staff received training, averaging 1.26 hours per employee; safety, equipment operation and ESG topics dominated curricula. • Employee turnover was 17 %, with departures concentrated in the 41–50 age bracket.
Supply-Chain Oversight • The Group engaged three approved suppliers, all located in Mainland China, each subject to quarterly performance reviews covering quality, environmental and social criteria. • Zero corruption cases were reported; all directors completed online anti-corruption training, and a whistle-blowing mechanism safeguards anonymity and prohibits retaliation.
Environmental Performance • Direct (Scope 1) greenhouse-gas emissions: 7.37 tCO₂e; indirect (Scope 2): 12.47 tCO₂e, yielding total emissions of 19.83 tCO₂e, or 0.25 tCO₂e per million renminbi revenue. • Total energy consumption reached 46,709.87 kWh, equivalent to 595.03 kWh per million renminbi revenue. • Water use totalled 285 m³ (3.63 m³ per million renminbi revenue); the company reports no water-sourcing constraints. • Non-hazardous waste generation was 2.45 tonnes; no hazardous waste was produced. • Air-pollutant output remained minimal, with nitrogen oxides at 1.37 kg and sulphur oxides at 0.04 kg. • Zhonghua Gas offset part of its emissions through Certified Emission Reductions from the UN-registered Hebei ChengAn Biomass Cogeneration Project.
Community & Stakeholder Engagement • Policies signed during the year include the “Food Wise”, “Energy Saving”, “Mental Health Workplace”, and “Joyful@Healthy Workplace” charters, underscoring commitments to employee well-being and resource conservation. • The Group plans to expand community-investment activities, focusing on assistance for underprivileged groups.
Outlook Management reiterated alignment with China’s dual-carbon targets and confirmed ongoing feasibility studies with Laos’s Ministry of Industry and Commerce for regional LNG network development.
