Environmental protection arrangements

We are subject to the national and local environmental laws and regulations in China on environmental matters, such as the discharge of waste water, exhaust fumes and solid waste. The main pollutants generated by us are lead dust or particles and waste water which contain lead and sulphuric acid. Our Directors confirm that during the operation of our production, we did not release any toxic element other than those that are permitted under the relevant laws and regulations.

Lead is the key raw material used in our production of lead-acid motive battery products. An excessive intake of lead dust or particles, whether through inhaling or skin contact, could have harmful effect on health. Lead poisoning may also result from occupations that involve close and frequent contact with or exposure to lead dust or particles.

Lead dust and particles are generated during our production process. Our workers are exposed to electrode plates during different stages of our production process.

Pursuant to the applicable environmental laws and regulations in China, we are obliged to install environmental protection equipment to ensure effective removal of lead dust and particles generated during our production process. We have installed such equipment at each of our five production plants.

Our production process generates waste water containing lead and sulphuric acid. Such waste water will be neutralised and treated to remove lead contents in accordance with the applicable environmental standards in China. We have installed such waste water treatment facilities at all our five production plants. Waste water generated at our production process, after the required treatment, will either be collected and reused for our production requirements or discharged to the municipal waste water collection systems for further treatment and discharge to the environment.

We are also required by the laws and regulations governing health and safety at work in China to provide our employees exposed to lead dust or particles with protective clothing and accessories, such as gloves, goggles and masks. We also arrange all our employees engaging in the lead-related production process to receive medical checks at least once a year. The medical checks include measurement of blood lead level.
