Recently, CR Beverage carried out carbon footprint accounting for its main products manufactured at its Zhaoqing, Heyuan Wanlv Lake, Wuhan, and Nanning factories. Following verification by a third-party organization, the company successfully obtained the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area Carbon Footprint Label Certification.

A product carbon footprint is based on a full-life cycle assessment of the product, expressed in carbon dioxide equivalents representing the total greenhouse gas emissions and removals within the product system. It comprehensively reflects the carbon emissions across all stages of a product's life cycle, from raw material acquisition, production and processing, transportation and distribution, to sales and usage. This certification covers main products produced at the four CR Beverage factories, including 555mL C'estbon Purified Water and 1,000ml Zhi Ben Qing Run Chrysanthemum Tea plant-based Beverage.

Since 2022, CR Beverage has steadily advanced its product carbon footprint accounting work. A total of 9 products have now obtained third-party carbon footprint certification. This latest certification further expands the coverage of the company's product carbon footprint management, marking a solid step forward in achieving its sustainable development goals. Through product carbon footprint certification, CR Beverage has gained deeper insights into the carbon emissions at various stages of the full-life cycle of different products, systematically evaluating the energy-saving and carbon-reduction effectiveness of each factory and identifying areas for improvement. This provides a robust data foundation for designing greener products and exploring credible emission-reduction pathways.

Moving forward, CR Beverage will strictly adhere to its carbon peaking action plan. It will continue to promote sustainable certifications and the application of product carbon footprint (carbon labeling). By implementing product carbon footprint management and establishing a digital energy and carbon management platform to precisely quantify product carbon emissions, the company will continuously optimize production processes, explore energy-saving and carbon-reduction potential, enhance energy efficiency, and intensify efforts in energy substitution and emission reduction. At the same time, CR Beverage will actively advance the construction of green factories and low-carbon/zero-carbon demonstration factories, benchmarking against advanced industry low-carbon standards. It remains firmly committed to an eco-priority, green, and low-carbon path towards high-quality development, contributing to the goals of achieving carbon peaking and carbon neutrality as scheduled.
