Recently, Yuefeng Aluminum Group Co., Ltd. was successfully included in S&P Global's "Sustainable Development Yearbook (China Edition) 2026". This recognition is a high-level affirmation from an international authoritative institution regarding the company's ESG governance level and green development practices. It also fully demonstrates the company's comprehensive strength in adhering to the concept of sustainable development and its position within the industry.
The "Sustainable Development Yearbook (China Edition)" aims to identify and recognize Chinese enterprises that demonstrate sustainable development advantages in their respective industries. The selection is based on the scores of these enterprises in the CSA assessment in 2025. Enterprises in each industry whose scores rank in the top 15% have the possibility of being included. As of March 31, 2026, nearly 1,800 enterprises that were assessed in the CSA in 2025 were considered for inclusion in the "Sustainable Development Yearbook (China Edition) 2026", and only about 190 companies were successfully selected.
The S&P Global Sustainability Assessment (CSA) advocates and recommends that enterprises integrate sustainability with their business (Sustainability back to business), in order to help enterprises identify and avoid long-term risks, identify and seize business opportunities, thereby achieving stable operations and gaining the favor of long-term patient capital and strategic investors. Yufeng Aluminum's successful inclusion in this year's directory fully demonstrates Yufeng Aluminum's comprehensive and practical series of efforts in integrating ESG and sustainability into corporate governance, strategic planning, risk management, and operational decision-making. It also reflects the firm confidence of international investors in Yufeng Aluminum's long-term value and sustainable development strategy.
