BOE has established a normalized water risk monitoring and response mechanism. The Group introduced the water risk assessment tool developed by the World Resources Institute (WRI) to systematically evaluate the water stress levels and potential risks of 18 display business operational bases. Display factory water consumption accounts for 93.94% of the Group's total water usage.
Based on the assessment results, the Group comprehensively considered each factory's water usage scale, structural distribution, and process characteristics to develop differentiated risk response plans. Key measures include strict water intake control, water-saving process upgrades, and water resource recycling, thereby enhancing operational resilience under water-scarce conditions.
This year's water risk identification and response assessment results are as follows:
| Risk Level | Number of Bases |
Proportion | Locations |
|---|---|---|---|
| Extremely High (>80%) |
4 | 22% | Beijing, Ordos, Qingdao, Mianyang |
| High (80-40%) |
8 | 44% | Suzhou, Chengdu, Hefei |
| Medium-High (40-20%) |
1 | 6% | Fuzhou |
| Medium-High (20%) |
5 | 28% | Chongqing, Wuhan, Nanjing |
| Category | Extreme Risk | High Risk | Key Measures |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wastewater Recycling |
4 | 5 | In Hefei and Chengdu factories with high water risk, implemented pure water system wastewater
recycling
and quality-based water supply renovation projects, including RO concentrate water recovery, backwash
regeneration water recycling, and scrubber and cooling tower optimized water supply. In 2025, cumulative
water savings reached 1.96 million m³, wastewater reduction of 750,000 m³, carbon emission reduction
of
955 tons, and cost savings of RMB 6.12 million. In Beijing, Ordos, Qingdao, and Mianyang factories with extremely high water risk, implemented advanced reuse renovation projects for cleaning drainage, filtered water, and cooling tower drainage recovery. In 2025, cumulative water savings reached 278,300 m³, effectively improving water recycling efficiency. |
| Water-Saving Technology Upgrades |
0 | 3 | In 2025, the Group planned and implemented a total of 47 water-saving projects, achieving cumulative water savings of 5.37 million m³ for the year. Among these, display device factories planned and implemented 43 water-saving projects with an investment of RMB 48.89 million, achieving annual water savings of 5.24 million m³. For example, high-risk factories in Chengdu and Hefei focused on cooling tower system optimization, implementing renovation projects such as precise make-up water control and packing replacement, achieving annual cumulative water savings of 1.17 million m³. |
| Alternative Water Sources |
1 | 0 | In 2025, the Group continued to deepen its water management approach of conservation first and recycling. Through technology upgrades and process optimization, the proportion of recycled water in the total water usage structure was significantly increased. Recycled water usage reached 5.11 million m³, accounting for approximately 5.95% of the Group's total water consumption, effectively reducing dependence on fresh water sources. For example, the Beijing factory replaced tap water with recycled water for ultrapure water preparation, achieving 100% use of recycled water for production, using over 20,000 tons of recycled water daily, saving approximately 3.3 million tons annually. The Ordos factory used wastewater treatment effluent as raw water to replace municipal water, recycling treated discharge water and mixing it with externally sourced recycled water for production, with annual recycled water usage of approximately 509,000 m³. |
| Water Pollution Prevention |
0 | 2 | Hefei, Chengdu, and Chongqing factories conducted innovative projects including phosphorus-containing and color film wastewater recycling, organic wastewater partial recycling and reuse, and acid-base wastewater recovery renovation projects. In 2025, cumulative water savings reached 1.43 million m³. |
| Water-Saving Awareness Cultivation |
6 | 8 | BOE actively conducted water conservation awareness and training activities to strengthen employees'
water-saving consciousness. In 2025, a total of 24 water-saving training and awareness events were
organized, encouraging employees to submit innovative water-saving proposals and fostering a positive
culture of "everyone focuses on water conservation, everyone participates in water conservation." The Chengdu factory established an energy conservation incentive program, guiding all employees to actively participate in water conservation across all processes. In 2025, 20 employee water-saving proposals were identified and received, including cooling tower overflow pipe modifications. 16 proposals were effectively implemented, saving a total of 71,124.5 m³ of water. |
BOE formulated the Group Energy and Environmental Management Policy, systematically integrating energy management requirements into the entire process of planning, construction, production, and operation. The Company prioritizes continuous improvement of energy utilization efficiency, reduction of energy consumption and carbon emissions, and prevention of energy risks to ensure compliant and low-carbon operations.
Amid the opportunities and challenges presented by green and sustainable development, the Company strives to build a mutually beneficial model with customers, align its development priorities with a green development roadmap to strengthen clean technology innovation.
At the strategic level, clean technology development has become a core business focus and a key priority for the Company’s future growth. Major clean technology areas include perovskite technology, net-zero carbon integrated energy services, low-energy-consumption product and technology, and smart chilled water system, which will directly contribute to green energy development and a low-carbon society.
At the management level, in June 2026, the Company elevated the management of environmental issues, including clean technology, to the Board level. The Board directly oversees the development and implementation of BOE’s sustainability strategy.
At the technology level, the Company invested RMB 13,983.06 million in R&D in 2025, accounting for 6.83% of revenue. Its R&D activities cover areas including perovskite technology, energy technologies, low-energy-consumption product and technology, and smart chilled water system. For specific clean technology areas, such as perovskite photovoltaics, Building-Integrated Photovoltaics (BIPV), smart energy management, and virtual power plant technologies, the Company has established dedicated R&D teams to accelerate technological development and innovation.
