On May 13, 2025, S&P Global, an ESG rating company (referred to as “S&P Global”), hosted the “ESG Investing and a Sustainable Future—S&P Global Sustainable1 Forum and the Launch Ceremony of the Sustainability Yearbook (China Edition) 2025” in Shenzhen. COSCO SHIPPING Development stood out among over 1,600 Chinese companies assessed and successfully secured its place for the third consecutive year in S&P Global's Sustainability Yearbook (China Edition) 2025. It also once again received the "Industry Mover" designation. As a company that has been listed for three consecutive years, this achievement fully demonstrates COSCO SHIPPING Development's strong performance and commitment in the field of sustainable development.

The Sustainability Yearbook (China Edition) utilizes a unique evaluation model from S&P Global, which is regarded by the international capital market as a key barometer of long-term value. In 2025, the scope of the yearbook's assessment covers 1,662 Chinese companies across 60 industries. The S&P Global CSA team conducts a rigorous screening of participating companies based on over 400 criteria. The elimination rate for the 2025 list reached 90.1%, with only 164 leading companies from various industries ultimately receiving this honor.

In recent years, COSCO SHIPPING Development has integrated itself into the broader development landscape and aligned with the times. By innovating to break through barriers and striving for excellence, the company has continuously deepened its ESG  philosophy, refined ESG governance, and quantified ESG performance. It has steadily advanced the improvement of its ESG governance system and solidly promoted the enhancement of ESG information disclosure quality. As a result, the company has garnered dozens of domestic and international ESG honors and recognitions.

Looking ahead, COSCO SHIPPING Development will continue to focus on its core responsibilities and main business, actively respond to new trends and requirements in the development of the industrial chain, adopt green and low-carbon development as its foundation, and use technological innovation as its driving force. The company will further enhance its core functions and improve its core competitiveness.
