Chairman's New Year's Speech in 2025 - Strengthen faith and forge ahead

The dawn of the new year reflects the morning glow, and everything is renewed and blooming. At this beautiful moment when the year is changing and we say goodbye to the old and welcome the new, on behalf of the board of directors of Zhongke Rinland Environmental Protection Technology (Beijing) Co., Ltd., I would like to extend my sincere New Year blessings to leaders at all levels who have long cared for and supported the development of Rinland Environmental Protection, to employees who still persist in struggling everywhere, and to all customers, partners, and colleagues!

2024 is the year of guardianship. Rinland Environmental Protection has always adhered to the practice direction of "lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets". With full enthusiasm and firm belief, it has devoted itself to the great wave of water treatment industry, built a solid line of defense for the safety of urban and rural drinking water, and developed better technology and equipment for the intensive conservation and utilization of water resources. We know that the grand blueprint for great rejuvenation lies not only in the vigorous development of the economy, but also in the significant improvement of the ecological environment and the overall improvement of the people's quality of life. We remain true to our original aspirations and are unswervingly committed to environmental protection and drinking water safety. We strive for excellence in multiple dimensions such as new material research and development, technology upgrading, process optimization, engineering productization, product quality control, project management, platform construction, talent training, and after-sales operation and maintenance. We continue to make breakthroughs, build a safe defense line for urban and rural water supply, and let the vibrant green waters and green mountains become the inexhaustible driving force and solid foundation for healthy China and rural revitalization.

2024 is the year of development. In the past year, with our excellent technology and unremitting efforts, we have successfully implemented a number of drinking water safety projects, effectively promoting the solution of urban and rural drinking water safety issues. At the same time, significant progress and breakthroughs have been made in engineering productization and new technology research and development. Based on the three generations of core technologies (adsorption method, low energy consumption membrane method and pharmaceutical method) that have been mastered in the field of high fluorine water treatment, a new generation of integrated and efficient integrated fluoride removal equipment has been developed. It has won praise from users and a broader market space with its obvious advantages of being more efficient, more intensive and more economical. These achievements cannot be achieved without the hard work and selfless dedication of every colleague, as well as the active support of national policies and the help of partners in various fields.

2024 is the year of blooming. During this year, we were like stars, shining in many fields. We not only continued to protect people's health in the field of drinking water safety and water treatment, but also entered many industries such as industrial manufacturing, mining and energy, high-tech industries, and ecological environment. We especially played a decisive role in photovoltaic production, chip manufacturing, panel processing, coal mining, thermal power generation and other industries, actively promoting industry progress and green industrial processes. We continue to work hard and rely on the company's core advantages in products, technology, management, and services to actively expand new business areas and coverage areas. We are committed to meeting the needs of different industries and fields, providing customers with efficient, intelligent, and environmentally friendly solutions, creating greater value for customers, and jointly drawing a grand blueprint for sustainable development, achieving a double harvest of economic and social benefits, becoming an important part of new productivity, and providing all-round, high-quality service support for new industrialization. In 2024, a key year for the "14th Five-Year Plan" to inherit the past and usher in the future, the national industrial water reuse rate has exceeded 94%, and the rural tap water penetration rate has also exceeded 90%. Rinland Environmental Protection has undertaken more than 500 drinking water safety and green industrial water treatment projects, covering Anhui, Henan, Zhejiang and Inner Mongolia and other provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions.

Rinland Environmental Protection will usher in a year of rapid development in 2025. In the new year, we will keep pace with the times, continue to increase investment in research and development, promote technological progress and industrial upgrading, and strive to achieve a qualitative leap and optimization of the corporate ecology, create comprehensive advantages across the entire industry chain, and keep pace with the trend of the times for the high-quality development of the national water conservancy and environmental protection industries. The entire enterprise will unite and work together, work hard both internally and externally, optimize the matching of manpower and technology, continuously improve technological content, expand business structure, adapt to the needs of national strategies, and become a new force in the national strategies of Beautiful China and Technological China.

The Central Economic Work Conference that just concluded a few days ago proposed that "we must work hard and unite as one. The more complex the situation we face, the more we must grasp the general trend, take active actions, maintain the high morale to bear the heavy burdens, face the challenges head-on, continue to climb up the hill and overcome the ravines, and unswervingly do our own things well." The sun and the moon are opening a new dollar, and the world is springing again. In the new year, Rinland Environmental Protection will continue to take green development as the guide, use technological innovation as the driving force, strengthen its faith, forge ahead, and write a new chapter of high-quality development of Rinland Environmental Protection!

Here, I sincerely wish leaders at all levels, all employees of Rinland Environmental Protection, and upstream and downstream industry chain partners a happy new year and all the best!

Zeng Rui, Chairman of Rinland Environmental Technology (Beijing) Corp., Ltd.
