We subsidize key personnel to participate in certified external training on "Product Carbon Footprint and Carbon Neutrality Awareness" delivered by international professional bodies. This training systematically builds expertise in carbon accounting, Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), and low-carbon transition thinking. By mentoring employees to transition into cross-departmental carbon management experts and sustainability support roles, we enhance their individual career resilience and indispensability. Furthermore, this extends talent investment into corporate sustainability competitiveness, driving green management and sustainable innovation to achieve shared value for the enterprise, employees, and society.
