On April 26, relx Yueke (fog core technology) announced the launch of the "zero carbon journey · aim for zero" plan: with eight carbon reduction initiatives, it will realize direct operation carbon neutralization in 2033 and the whole value chain carbon neutralization in 2050.
In the 8 major carbon reduction initiatives, Yueke, in combination with its own carbon emission characteristics and industry development trend, not only proposes plans for zero carbon products, zero carbon factories and Green stores, but also plans to establish a green supply chain partnership mechanism, eliminate unnecessary disposable plastic packaging, reduce waste, advocate employees to practice low-carbon office, etc., covering all links and the layout of the whole value chain, so as to promote the realization of the goal of carbon neutralizationP align = "center" eight zero carbon initiatives of Yueke
It is understood that Yueke has continuously invested in carbon reduction efforts in recent years and has achieved certain results. At present, Yueke has achieved carbon neutrality in the operation of offices and laboratories in Beijing, Shanghai and Shenzhen in 2021. According to TUV certification of Rhine, Yueke realizes carbon offset in offices and laboratories in three places by purchasing carbon sequestration emission reduction generated by relevant wind power projects from carbon sequestration trading platform.
In addition, Yueke also launched the empty bomb recovery plan and established the company's sustainable development committee to take multiple measures to promote environmental sustainable development.
Through management and technological innovation, Yueke will adopt targeted ways such as efficiency improvement and emission reduction, use of renewable energy and carbon offset to achieve net zero emission of at least one self owned factory and build a model of zero carbon factory by 2033. It plans to establish a green supply chain partnership mechanism, encourage supply chain partners to increase the proportion of renewable energy and formulate phased emission reduction targets. In terms of logistics and packaging procurement, Yueke will also give priority to partners who can provide low-carbon transportation services and green packaging.
In terms of products, Yueke will reduce carbon from three aspects: Plastic reduction, reducing product carbon footprint and empty bomb recovery. By 2025, Yueke will eliminate unnecessary disposable plastic packaging. By 2033, 100% plastic packaging of Yueke products will be reusable, recyclable or degradable. In addition, Yueke is integrating the low-carbon concept into the whole life cycle of products. By using renewable and recycled materials and other means, Yueke will increase investment and research and development of low-carbon products. By 2025, Yueke will launch at least one zero carbon product.
Previously, Yueke has always adhered to the production and operation of low-carbon and energy saving. According to relx Yueke social responsibility report 20202021, the production waste of Yueke plant will be reduced by 76% in 2020 compared with 2019. At the same time, by improving and optimizing the process, the production capacity of Yueke factory will be increased by more than 30% in 2020, and the unit energy consumption of actual water, electricity, gas and other energy will be effectively reduced by more than 20%. In the process of purchasing raw materials and parts, Yueke selects all materials that meet or exceed the national environmental protection requirements.
In January 2022, the State Tobacco Monopoly Administration issued the implementation opinions, requiring the whole industry to do a solid job in carbon peak and carbon neutralization, and accelerate the green and low-carbon development of the industry. E-cigarette related enterprises also have the responsibility to actively set carbon neutralization targets and take positive actions.
Wang Ying, founder and CEO of Yueke, said: "in the future, Yueke will uphold the concept of sustainable development, actively practice the concept of green operation in every link, and help the national carbon peak and carbon neutralization strategy with practical actions."
