In 2021, despite the challenging business environment caused by a resurgence of the COVID-19 pandemic and fierce competition, Everbright Environment maintained a steady pace of development and continued to strengthen its position in the industry. The Company's brand influence at home and abroad has been further enhanced through its operating results, industry-leading technological innovation, proactive deployment of low-carbon transformation, continued development of quality projects, exemplary cooperation under the Belt and Road initiative, reputable corporate governance, and continued commitment to social responsibility. Branding is playing an increasingly important role as the core competency of the Company.
In 2021, Everbright Environment was shortlisted on the Fortune China 500 list for the first time, ranking in 283rd place. Meanwhile, the Company has been ranked first on the list of China's Top 50 Environmental Enterprises for three consecutive years and ranked first in the "Top Ten Influential Solid Waste Treatment Enterprises in China" for 11 consecutive years.

Everbright Environment was also named the "Social Responsibility Brand of the Year" by the China Charity Festival for seven consecutive years.
The Blue Book also mentioned that with the support of the national "Dual Carbon" strategy and policies related to the in-depth development of the prevention and control of pollution, the environmental protection industry has entered rapid development during the 14th Five-year Plan period and is becoming a vital part in China's industrial structure and economic transformation. The brand value of environmental protection enterprises also has a broad scope for growth, and enterprises need to continuously improve their independent innovation capabilities, forge a more solid brand value, and make more contributions to the green, low-carbon and sustainable development efforts of China and the world.
