Successfully awarded the title of "Guangdong Province Green Supply Chain Management Enterprise," becoming the only company in the container industry's headquarters organization to receive this prestigious honor. This not only recognizes CIMC Containers' long-standing commitment to green development, but also highlights the company's responsibility and dedication in leveraging its supply chain as a key driver to foster collaborative carbon reduction across the entire industry value chain, thereby promoting sustainable growth within the sector.
As a global leader in the container manufacturing industry, CIMC Containers has consistently upheld the corporate spirit of "Striving for Self-Improvement and Pursuing Excellence," continuously expanding its business boundaries while relentlessly advancing green manufacturing and sustainable management. We integrate environmental protection principles into every stage of our operations—research and development, production, and the entire supply chain—through the implementation of “ Cultivating green suppliers, building green factories, and producing green products ” Three major green development pathways to drive the overall green transformation of the industrial chain.
In fostering green suppliers, CIMC Containers has established a green management system that covers the entire lifecycle of its suppliers. During the supplier onboarding phase, the company conducts rigorous reviews of supplier qualifications and prioritizes partnerships that have already achieved certifications such as ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and ISO 45001. Each year, CIMC organizes at least three green-themed awareness sessions and systematic training programs through diverse channels, including supplier conferences and specialized workshops. These initiatives focus on key areas such as the HSE system, green procurement policies, and product standards, continuously enhancing suppliers' awareness and practical capabilities in green management. In addition, CIMC has innovatively implemented a green supplier certification and management system, evaluating and categorizing suppliers across multiple dimensions—including resources, energy, and environmental impact—and setting clear, phased improvement targets. By 2026, all qualified suppliers are expected to meet Level 3 or higher standards, while by 2029, all suppliers will be elevated to Level 2 or above, with priority suppliers aiming for Level 1 excellence. Through a combination of stringent regulatory frameworks and ongoing capacity-building efforts, CIMC is systematically driving the green transformation and collaborative development of the container industry's supply chain.
