Currently, concepts such as green manufacturing, carbon neutrality, sustainable development, and ESG have become the consensus of most industrial and manufacturing enterprises. Forbes China conducted a comprehensive evaluation based on five dimensions: management system, technological innovation, comprehensive benefits, resource allocation, and demonstration and promotion. The pioneer models for sustainable development industrial enterprises of the year were ultimately selected.
The selected enterprises in this selection are all industrial enterprises with a history of at least 10 years, annual revenue of over 100 billion yuan, and R&D investment growth of about 50% year-on-year.
