in addition to the transformation and upgrading of traditional industries, many companies will occupy the new track of green industries as the key to enhancing their green competitiveness.
tianjin rongcheng xiangtai investment holding group co., ltd. regards the hydrogen energy industry as an important direction for the company to enter the new energy field. chai shuman, deputy secretary of the company's party committee, introduced that in order to occupy the hydrogen energy industry track, rongcheng new energy group, a subsidiary of rongcheng group, is positioned as a hydrogen energy industry solution integrator, focusing on the integrated hydrogen energy industry chain of "production, storage, transportation, processing, research and equipment manufacturing", and creating a "hydrogen +" economic industry pattern of "source, network, vehicle and cloud".

"take yili group as an example. according to the greenhouse gas accounting system widely used internationally, more than 90% of the company's carbon emissions come from industrial chain activities." wang fukun, director of corporate affairs of inner mongolia yili industrial group co., ltd., said that this is the key for the company to play a leading role in the industry and enhance its green competitiveness in the future.

"the company will focus on improving 'green leadership' and open a new chapter in the industry's full-chain carbon reduction." wang fukun said.
as a comprehensive communications solution provider, zte corporation is also committed to building a green supply chain. song wenzhong, the company's vice president, said that the company has not only built an industry-leading green smart benchmark factory, but also promoted low-carbon and energy-saving development in various links such as raw material procurement, production and manufacturing, logistics and transportation, and recycling. it has helped more than 150 major suppliers to formulate and complete green ecological construction, enabling high-quality development of the industry.
