Chairman's Statement

Acknowledgement: To All Who Have Supported Weiming's Green Journey

On behalf of the Board of Directors and all employees of Zhejiang Weiming Environment Protection Co., Ltd., I extend my sincerest gratitude to all those who have long supported the Company's development.

As one year gives way to the next, we press forward with sustained focus. Looking back on 2025, the people of Weiming advanced steadily on the path of green development. This year also marked a milestone: the tenth anniversary of Weiming Environment Protection's listing — ten years since 2015, ten years on the capital markets, and a lifelong commitment to environmental protection. As we enter 2026, we will continue to raise our standards and expand our ambitions, moving forward together to open the next green decade.

Xiang Guangming Chairman of the Board Zhejiang Weiming Environment Protection Co., Ltd. April 2026

(I) Environmental Dimension: Sustained Development, from China to the World Stage

When the final data for 2025 were tallied, what I saw was not merely a scorecard, but the testament of a team that has held fast to its green commitments. Ten years ago, we entered the capital markets with the founding aspiration of making the environment better. Over the decade that followed, we honoured our commitments to our shareholders, to society, and to the times — with 26 million tonnes of carbon emission reductions, 25.8 billion kWh of green power generated, and 56 clean facilities in operation.

In 2025, we demonstrated that environmental protection and economic performance can advance in concert, and that Weiming, strengthened over ten years, can go further and stand firmer.

In waste-to-energy, the Fujin, Longnan, and Zhijiang projects began formal operations, while the Kunshan project entered trial operation with two furnaces and two generators. The Company and subsidiaries generated 4.623 billion kWh cumulatively, cutting CO emissions by approximately 4.61 million tonnes versus coal-fired power.

I am particularly proud of three innovations: the Linjiang Project's mobile steam supply, delivering steam 30 km to industrial users—our first such project in Zhejiang, supplying nearly 20,000 tonnes annually; the Yongqiang Project's slag utilization line, turning waste into resource; and the Dongyang Project's ultra-low emission transformation, setting new standards. These reflect a decade of technological buildup.

Green certificate sales surpassed 730,000 units, generating approximately RMB 2.8 million. This diversifies revenue and demonstrates clean energy value. Every certificate issued for projects from Kunshan to Shuangyashan and Longnan to Luodian quantifies environmental benefits. Over the decade, we have evolved from a waste disposer into a clean energy supplier and carbon asset operator.

At the close of 2025, the Company was included in PT Danantara Investment Management's approved supplier list for environmentally friendly WtE projects, supporting future expansion in Indonesia and marking Weiming's shift from a domestic focus to a global presence.

(II) Social Dimension: A People-First Approach to Shared Development

I have always believed that the highest purpose of an enterprise is to develop the full potential of its people. Over the ten years since listing, we have built a business — and built people.

In 2025, the Company invested RMB 5.25 million in charitable activities and rural revitalisation programmes, having pursued poverty alleviation and rural revitalisation for decades. Long before its listing, social responsibility had already been embedded in the Company's culture and values.

In talent development, the "Top 100 Talent Program" continued to attract graduates from China's leading universities, with the proportion of employees holding master's degrees or above rising steadily. Three large-scale training programmes were conducted during the year, and the retention rate for key positions remained at the forefront of the industry. The second tranche of the 2023 restricted share incentive plan was un locked, enabling 158 core employees to share 3.084 million shares — not a simple incentive, but the institutionalisation of co-creation, shared responsibility and shared benefits.

In Indonesia, the Company is not only exporting environmental pro tection equipment and technology, but also constructing and op erating a nickel metal smelting project locally, creating substantial employment opportunities and enabling the tangible benefits of Weiming's development to reach overseas communities — demon strating our commitment to the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI).

(III) Governance Dimension: Transparency and Eficiency as the Foundation of Trust

Good governance means earning the full confidence of all stake holders. The most enduring lesson of our ten years as a listed company is this: the trust of the capital market is the most valuable asset an enterprise can hold.

The Company has further developed the three-tier architecture comprising the Strategy and ESG Committee of the Board of Direc tors, the Committee Ofice, and the Business Working Groups, con vening multiple ESG-focused meetings throughout the year. The Company completed the integrated project information system platform, achieving integration with the OA and financial systems, and explored the deployment of enterprise AI models. Over the past ten years, the Company has maintained a clean record with zero regulatory penalties in respect of information disclosure.

On the research and development front, the AI-powered crane ro bot developed by the Equipment Group completed commissioning for fully automated operation and is expected to reduce manual operations by more than 50%. The "Black Box"monitoring system now covers nearly 20 power generation facilities in Zhejiang Province. The 750 t/d grate-type incinerator was selected as a Zhejiang Province first-of-its-kind equipment. The Equipment Group was recognised as a "Specialized, Sophisticated, Distinctive and Novel" (SSDN) "Little Giant" enterprise by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology.

In 2025, Weiming Shengqing obtained National High-Tech Enterprise certification, secured three major international system certifications, and signed a three-year cooperation agreement with Guangdong Brunp Recycling Technology Co., Ltd. The two produc tion lines of the Indonesia Jiaman Matte Nickel Project were commissioned, and the Company was honoured to receive an audience with Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto.

Gratitude: Our Partners in Sustainable Development

This year's results belong, in equal measure, to each of you.

I thank our shareholders, whose capital support has enabled us to weather cycles and invest in research and development. I thank our partners for joining Weiming Environment Protection in building a green ecosystem together. I thank every member of the Weiming team: the frontline workers who stafed project sites over the Spring Festival; the Indonesia-based team that achieved the on-site imple mentation of oxygen-enriched side-blown smelting technology; the technical staf who completed the ULE retrofitting works; and the engineers who commissioned the AI-powered crane robots. I am also moved by the environmental volunteer teams, the investors who ofered constructive feedback, and the candid assessments from ESG rating agencies. Genuine sustainability is not the sole pursuit of any single enterprise, but a collective endeavour to which all stakeholders contribute.

Outlook: Priorities and Commitments for 2026

From this new starting point, Weiming Environment Protection will focus on three directions

Intensifying Green Emission Reduction Eforts: The Company will expand photovoltaic (PV) coverage across production bases, continue to advance ULE retrofitting, and reduce operational energy consumption, aiming for further reductions in carbon emission in tensity. The Company will also deepen revenue-generating models such as REC sales and steam supply, making green benefits measurable, tradeable, and sustainable.

Deepening Social Responsibility: The Company will implement the employee partnership programme at project companies; deepen the BRI footprint by delivering more overseas environmental gov ernance projects; and continue investing in the"Top 100 Talent Program"to build a high-calibre talent pipeline.

Optimising the Governance Framework: The Company will establish an ESG digital management platform for full-chain carbon footprint tracking, integrate biodiversity protection into investment decision-making, and advance the in-depth application of AI models in corporate management and operations.

When news of the Indonesia Jiaman project's commissioning crossed the equator; when letters of thanks from students arrived from remote communities; when investors say "choosing Weiming is choosing the future" — I am more convinced than ever that the green and low-carbon cause is both a bridge to shared human wellbeing, and central to Weiming's purpose.

Ten years on the capital markets, a lifelong commitment to envi ronmental protection. In 2026, let us continue this journey together — advancing on the path of green development with greater con viction and depth, committed to building an enduring foundation for the future.

Each year, the Company identifies and updates material ESG topics through questionnaire surveys and on-site interviews, integrates them into operational management, and continuously strengthens related practices. In 2025, the Company conducted a comprehensive analysis of the materiality of ESG topics in accordance with the Shanghai Stock Exchange Self-Regulatory Guidelines for Listed Companies No. 14 – Sustainability Reporting (Trial) and its accompanying preparation guidelines, and addressed each topic individually in this Report.

Double Materiality Assessment Process

Step 1: Background Analysis and Topic Identification

The Company systematically mapped its business relationship landscape, covering all upstream and downstream segments of the value chain, clarifying the types and nature of those business relationships. In parallel, the Company conducted an in-depth analysis of relevant laws and regulations, regulatory policies, media coverage, and industry peer benchmarking, and comprehensively identified the groups of stakeholders afected.

Step 2: Materiality Assessment of Topics

Step 2-1: Impact Materiality Assessment:

A dual assessment of the degree of impact of each topic is conducted from the perspective of both internal and external stakeholders.

\- Dimension 1: Assessment of Degree of Impact Stakeholder questionnaire surveys are used to score the degree of impact of each topic. The scoring scale comprises six levels: No Impact, Minor Impact, Moderate Impact, Considerable Impact, Significant Impact, and Extreme Impact.

\- Dimension 2: Assessment of Likelihood of Impact Questionnaire sur ve ys are similarly used to assess the likelihood of the impact of each topic occurring. The scoring scale comprises six levels: None, Very Low, Low, Moderate, High, and Very High.

Step 2-2: Financial Materiality Assessment:

A team of internal experts from the Company's finance department assesses the financial materiality of each topic across two dimensions, subject to joint review and confirmation by multiple departments.

\- Dimension 1: Degree of Financial Impact The impact of each topic on the Company' current and projected financial position is assessed on a comprehensive basis and scored. The scoring scale comprises six levels: No Impact, Minor Impact, Moderate Impact, Considerable Impact, Significant Impact, and Extreme Impact.

\- Dimension 2: Likelihood of Financial Impact The probability of positive or negative financial impacts arising from each topic is assessed and scored. The scoring scale similarly comprises six levels: None, Very Low, Low, Moderate, High, and Very High.

Senior Management Remuneration Management

Certain provisions of the Company's remuneration and incentive arrangements for senior management specify that senior management remuneration comprises a base annual salary, performance bonus, and tenure-based incentive, reflecting the principle of combining short-term and long-term incentive elements.

For members who violate laws or regulations, fail to discharge duties diligently, cause asset losses, or are responsible for material work safety or environmental incidents, the Company will reduce or claw back performance-based annual salary and tenure-based incentive payments already disbursed. This mechanism applies equally to those who have resigned or retired.

Climate Scenario Analysis

Drawing on the internationally recognised IPCC AR6 scenario framework and the recommendations of the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD), Weiming Environment Protection regularly conducts climate scenario analysis to assess the potential business and financial impacts of diferent low-carbon transition pathways and climate physical impacts

Potential Business and Financial ImpactsStrategic Resilience and Response Measures
Orderly Transition (2°C temperature control target)Carbon prices rise steadily, benefiting WtE incineration projects with carbon reduction benefits; the Company is positioned to generate carbon assets revenue. A stable policy environment supports long-term project planning and investment returns.HighThe low-carbon characteristics of the Company's existing business are well established. Proactively developing carbon emission reduction projects and exploring REC and green power trading captures transition opportunities and enhances profitability.
Delayed TransitionInitial policy measures are insufficient or their implementation is delayed, but there is a risk that more stringent and disruptive regulatory policies may be introduced abruptly at a later stage, leading to premature equipment retirement or significant retrofitting pressure, and increasing transition costs and uncertainty.Medium to HigIt is necessary to maintain a technological leadership advantage, deploy retrofitting plans in advance to meet more stringent standards, and establish more resilient technology pathways and investment strategies.
High Emissions and Physical RisksInsufficient global emission reductions lead to a significant rise in temperatures, with increases in the frequency and intensity of extreme weather events (heavy rainfall, typhoons, high temperatures). The normal operations and asset safety of projects located in vulnerable areas (such as south-east coastal regions) face greater threats, and insurance costs and post-disaster repair costs may continue to rise.MediumThe focus is on strengthening climate adaptation capabilities, including upgrading extreme weather emergency response plans, optimising project design, reinforcing key facilities, and diversifying regional risks.

Under the guidance of the "Dual Carbon" strategy, the core business of WtE incineration power generation serves as an important means of reducing and substituting carbon emissions, and the development opportunities faced by the busines as a whole outweigh the challenges. The Company will need to continue strengthening its technical reserves and capacity in areas such as energy eficiency improvement, renewable energy utilisation, and resource circularity, while systematically assessing and managing physical risks to ensure the safety and resilience of assets and operations in the context of long-term climate change.

Notes

① In 2025, Weiming Environmental Protection's total greenhouse gas emissions increased significantly. The primary reasons for the fluctuations in emissions are as follows:

a Fossil carbon emissions arising from the incineration of municipal solid waste (MSW) were incorporated into the 2025 accounting scope, which was the key factor behind the increase in total emissions.

b The Indonesia Jiaman Matte Nickel Project was formally commissioned during the Reporting Period, driving a substantial increase in the consumption of fossil fuels, including coal, as well as purchased electricity.

② Notes on Accounting Boundaries:

a  In accordance with the GHG Protocol (Greenhouse Gas Protocol: A Corporate Accounting and Reporting Standard), self-generated electricity consumed on-site is not included in Scope 2 emissions.

b With reference to GB/T 2589-2020 (General Rules for Calculation of the Comprehensive Energy Consumption), self-generated energy consumed on-site is not included in the total comprehensive energy consumption.

③ The Company's energy consumption statistics are prepared in accordance with the principles of measurability and verifiability within the organisational boundary:

a Total energy consumption = purchased electricity + purchased heat + fossil fuel consumption

b Self-generated on-site renewable energy (from waste-to-energy (WtE) incineration and photovoltaic power generation) constitutes internal energy consumption within the organisation rather than external energy input, and is disclosed separately in accordance with internationally accepted practice.
