On March 20, at the "Green and Sustainable Development of Container Production" forum in the Strategic Theatre of the 2025 Multimodal Transport Asia Expo, Mr. Cui Haikuo, Deputy General Manager of Shanghai Universal Logistics Technology Co., Ltd., delivered a special speech titled "Pioneering the Carbon Path: Empowering High-Quality Development with Green Manufacturing."

As one of the leading container manufacturers, Shanghai Universal actively responds to the International Maritime Organization's (IMO) goal of achieving net-zero emissions in the global shipping industry by 2050. By implementing a range of measures, including leading with a green and low-carbon strategy, establishing a sound management system, and innovating in green manufacturing practices, the company is committed to promoting harmonious coexistence between business development and the ecological environment.

To this end, Shanghai Universal has released a "Dual-Carbon Roadmap" to guide the company's overall green and low-carbon strategy and has planned five major carbon-reduction pathways: exploring green processes, accelerating the substitution of green energy, building a green supply chain, strengthening and expanding the green product portfolio, and enhancing the level of resource recycling.

In recent years, Shanghai Universal has focused on the two major tracks of digital intelligence and green low-carbon development, actively deploying the research and development of green products and entering the energy storage container power supply business. Currently, the marine air-cooled energy storage containers developed by Shanghai Universal have been successfully tested and operated on two 700 TEU battery-powered container ships for 37 voyages. Meanwhile, the company has also strengthened its land-based energy storage container products, with a year-on-year increase of 332.1% in production in 2024, further expanding its customer base. Additionally, the company has established the world's first Container Carbon Footprint and Environmental Product Declaration (CFP&EPD) platform, jointly formulating rules through a low-carbon alliance to explore a green and sustainable development path for the industry chain. These initiatives have not only enhanced the company's market competitiveness but also promoted the healthy and sustainable development of the industry.

It is worth noting that while Shanghai Universal is committed to technological innovation, it also places great emphasis on fulfilling its social responsibilities. By donating modular container houses for canteens, the company has improved the dining environment for teachers and students at the First Primary School of Lajiu Township, Luolong County, Tibet.

As green and low-carbon projects continue to advance, Shanghai Universal will persist in its pioneering exploration and innovative corporate management mechanisms. It is dedicated to building a more robust green ecological barrier for the container manufacturing industry and creating a harmonious supply chain management system that promotes coexistence. The company will continue to contribute to the global shipping industry's goal of achieving net-zero emissions.
