Recently, the China Light Industry Federation announced the first batch of "Green Manufacturing Benchmark Enterprises in the Light Industry Industry" list, covering only 26 enterprises in fields such as home appliances, papermaking, and the liquor industry. Thanks to its comprehensive strength in the field of green development, ERA Corporation has become the only company in the industry to be listed. This honor is not only a high recognition of the exemplary role of green development in China, but also marks the recognition of China's sustainable development practices by national authorities.

ERA deeply integrates green manufacturing into every step of enterprise development, incorporates "optimizing structure, green development" into corporate strategy, explores green and low-carbon production models, and systematically promotes green transformation. At the ERA factory, rooftop photovoltaic power generation and rainwater harvesting systems have become standard equipment, renewable energy is deeply integrated into the production system, the proportion of clean energy usage continues to increase, and green has become the distinctive color of factory operation; From process layout to product transportation, the production process is optimized and streamlined one by one, reducing material and energy losses from the source. Under the guidance of the green development strategy, ERA has been awarded multiple honors such as "National Industrial Product Green Design Demonstration Enterprise", "National Green Factory", and "National Green Supply Chain Management Enterprise". In addition, as a promoter of industry standards, ERA has led or participated in the development of 36 national and industry standards, including the "Green Building Materials Evaluation Plastic Pipe and Fitting", continuously leading the industry's green transformation.

Digitization is an important engine driving the upgrade of green manufacturing. By relying on long-term accumulated data resources and introducing intelligent devices and digital systems, we have incorporated core indicators such as energy consumption and carbon emissions into real-time control, refined production process management, and built an efficient and transparent green production system. Among them, the four major factories in Taizhou have taken the lead in achieving full process collection and real-time analysis of water, electricity, gas, and photovoltaic power generation data, promoting energy management to enter the intelligent stage of "visual, quantifiable, and optimizable". The unmanned platform realizes 24-hour monitoring and early warning, providing scientific basis for energy consumption optimization. At the same time, the "One Code Traceability System" and the product recycling system have connected the entire lifecycle management chain from production to recycling, ensuring that the green concept runs through the entire product.

Innovation injects momentum into the sustainable development of green product systems. In the past three years, ERA has completed 63 green design technology breakthroughs, developed 31 green products, and obtained 26 related patents; 30 products have passed authoritative certifications such as green building materials and water-saving products, laying a solid foundation for the green development of the ERA product system.

In the future, we will continue to uphold the concepts of green, low-carbon, and sustainable development. Taking this award as a new starting point, we will continue to play a leading role as a benchmark, drive the industry's green transformation, and contribute our solid strength to the "dual carbon" goal.
