The assessment evaluated HiTHIUM across four pillars — Environment, Labor & Human Rights, Ethics, and Sustainable Procurement — through 21 specific topics. HiTHIUM achieved industry-leading scores, particularly in the Environment and Sustainable Procurement categories, outperforming industry averages by 22–34 points.
From product design to manufacturing, HiTHIUM integrates green principles across operations. The company advances low-carbon manufacturing through initiatives such as electric-powered equipment, packaging recycling, waste reduction, and energy efficiency improvements at its Xiamen and Chongqing bases. HiTHIUM also extends these efforts across its supply chain via ESG training and annual audits, fostering a sustainable, collaborative ecosystem.
In Labor and Human Rights, HiTHIUM ensures equal pay, lawful benefits, and 100% coverage of occupational health checks under its ISO 45001–certified system. The company conducts regular safety training, upholds diversity and equal opportunity, and provides multiple grievance channels along with comprehensive employee welfare and mental health program.
In Ethics, HiTHIUM maintains a transparent governance structure with specialized committees, a robust compliance system covering anti-corruption and data security, and strict prevention of conflicts of interest. All suppliers are required to sign compliance commitments, while certifications in IP protection and information security further strengthen ethical management.
In Sustainable Procurement, HiTHIUM promotes ESG capacity building across its supply chain through training and annual audits, helping partners improve green management systems and jointly advancing a sustainable, collaborative industry ecosystem.
HiTHIUM's strong performance stems from its robust sustainability framework:
· Comprehensive policies and clear governance, with qualitative and quantitative targets;
· Practical and targeted management actions across key ESG areas;
· Certified management systems, including ISO 14001, ISO 45001, and ISO 50001, covering all production sites.
Guided by its long-term "HIMPACT 2037" Sustainability Strategy, built on six pillars — Innovation, Empower, Proactive, Achievable, Collaborative, and Transparent — HiTHIUM is delivering on its ESG commitments through continuous action.
With its solid sustainability practices, HiTHIUM has been recognized as a National Green Factory and Green Supply Chain Enterprise, earned a CDP B rating, gained SBTi approval, and joined the UN Global Compact (UNGC) and Supply Chain ESG Stewardship Initiative (SCSI), reinforcing its leadership in driving a low-carbon, sustainable energy future.
Earning the EcoVadis Gold Medal on its first assessment affirms HiTHIUM's leadership in sustainable business practices and global value chain responsibility. Moving forward, Hithium will continue to strengthen its ESG performance, driving green innovation and contributing to the global transition toward clean energy and sustainable growth.
