Climate Change Mitigation and Adaptation

PROYA closely monitors the global climate change situation and places great emphasis on managing it. PROYA sees responding to climate change as a material task for ESG management. Based on identifying the sources of greenhouse gas emissions throughout the value chain, we strive to expand our efforts to reduce carbon footprint to the entire product life cycle. From the acquisition of raw materials, manufacturing, packaging, all the way to warehousing and logistics, we implement effective measures to diminish the carbon footprint of our products.

Performance highlights

In September 2023, Proya Huzhou Factory won the title of "Zhejiang Provincial Green Low-carbon Factory in 2023".

In 2022, the Huzhou skincare factory planned and implemented 14 cleaner production programs. These programs covered resource conservation, pollutant reduction, energy conservation, and emission reduction. Reduced 4,400 tons wastewater, 0.17 tons COD and 0.001 tons ammonia-nitrogen；Reduced 3 tons of hazardous waste；Reduced 322.73 tons CO2 carbon emissions；Saved 565.9 MWh electricity；Saved 3,000 Nm³ natural gas；Saved RMB108,000 worth raw material；Saved 4,600 m³ water.

In 2022, we carried out a cleaner production audit, identified energy-saving items to be improved, and formulated implementation plans. In terms of energy conservation and consumption reduction, we have adopted several energy-saving and technology upgrade projects such as purchasing permanent magnet frequency conversion oil-free screw air compressors and automating production lines. We also take measures, such as replacing clean energy and optimizing distribution routes, to reduce the use of fossil energy in the production process.

In 2022, we developed the Daily Power Saving Plan of Proya Building and Orderly Power Consumption Regulation Plan of Proya Building, advocating that employees turn off lights and air conditioners when leaving the Company. Property management personnel made regular inspections to turn off lights in unused areas to avoid wasting electricity. While ensuring employees' demands for minimum electricity, we took measures such as turning off certain air conditioners in the office area and reducing excess underground lighting to minimize office power consumption.

Proya's production base (skincare factory) used 1,500 wind-powered fans to replace electric fans in our warehouse air conditioning system. The wind-powered fans use wind energy and therefore do not produce carbon emissions and can reduce power consumption;

We installed a 2 MVA photovoltaic power storage system on the roof of our 25,000m² factory at the Huzhou Production Base (skincare factory), with annual power generation exceeding 2 million kWh. The generated power is prioritized for our own use, and the surplus can be supplied to the national grid.

The boiler room of Proya's Huzhou Production Base (skincare factory) completed two upgrades including the "solar auxiliary heating system", which uses solar energy to preheat the water in the boiler room and then switches to natural gas after the temperature rises. With this upgrade, more than 6,000m3 of natural gas was saved each month, greatly reducing the emissions of waste gas and carbon dioxide in the atmosphere;

Proya's Huzhou Production Base (skincare factory) uses an "air compressor heat recovery system" provided by IR to fully utilize the heat generated by the air compressor, producing 40 tons of hot water each day for the canteen, material barrel cleaning, process water heating, etc. The annual storage of thermal energy amounts to saving 155 tons of standard coal and reducing 30 tons of carbon dioxide emissions;

In Proya's Huzhou Production Base (skincare factory), we managed our factory operations digitally using a fully-automated stereoscopic warehouse model. We use an intelligent electronic scheduling system to optimize equipment operation, vehicle dispatch, cargo loading, etc. in order to reduce energy consumption;

We invested approximately RMB 100,000 in the power distribution facilities of Proya's Huzhou Production Base (skincare factory) to upgrade the reactive power compensation device. This can improve the power supply environment and efficiency;

In 2014, Proya collaborated with the Norwegian Embassy to jointly contribute to the special fund of UN Women, and launched the "Climate Change and Women Protection" program to seek effective measures to address women's health issues caused by climate change.
