Impact, Risk, and Opportunity Management
Supplier Lifecycle Management
The Company implements strict controls over all stages of the supplier lifecycle, from admission and evaluation to exit, to standardise supplier conduct and efectively prevent potential supply chain risks. In 2025, we revised management systems such as the Supplier Management System and the Procurement Control Procedure, refining the supplier management processes and procedures based on actual conditions and clarifying aspects like supplier review stages and scoring criteria.
Admission
We collect supplier qualification information through various channels (including quality management system, occupational health and safety management system, energy management system, and product certifications), complete the Supplier Admission Process in the OA system, and upload the relevant supplier qualification documents.
A specialised supplier evaluation team, composed of cross-departmental members from quality, safety, and procurement, conducts an internal review and scoring of the supplier�s qualification information. Suppliers deemed qualified are included in the List of Qualified Suppliers.
We establish scoring criteria based on dimensions such as production processes, technical capabilities, and product testing. We conduct regular supplier assessments, periodically update the Supplier Assessment Record Form, and classify suppliers into four tiers—A, B, C, and D—based on their scores.
Suppliers rated as tier D are deemed unqualified. Their qualification is revoked and supply is suspended, and they are required to make timely rectifications.
We conduct annual supplier evaluations and terminate cooperation with unqualified suppliers who fail to complete rectifications in a timely manner or meet other exit criteria.
Supplier Capacity Building
The Company is committed to building an open, collaborative, and trust-based supplier cooperation mechanism, upgrading the unidirectiona procurement relationship to a mutually empowering value partnership to enhance the supply chain�s comprehensive capabilities in technologica innovation, quality standards, and risk prevention and control. Through specialised exchange and training sessions covering key areas like cutting-edge product technology, quality improvement initiatives, and production processes, the Company provides analyses of quality issues and interpretations of documents and policies, significantly strengthening suppliers� overall capacity for technological innovation response, quality assurance, and compliance collaboration. During the Reporting Period, the Company conducted approximately 20 supplier exchange and training activities, working closely with suppliers to advance improvements in production and management.
Responsible Sourcing
The Company incorporates ESG factors into its supplier management. During the screening, evaluation, and cooperation processes, we focus on basic compliance in areas such as quality, business ethics, environment, health, and safety. We give priority to suppliers that have obtained third-party certifications in environmental management, occupational health and safety management, or green products, and explicitly require suppliers to use environmentally friendly packaging materials.
We stipulate suppliers� environmental and social responsibilities through contracts, agreements, clauses, and letters of commitment. In 2025, the Company refined the breach of contract clauses in the Supplier Integrity Agreement to reinforce the baseline for business ethics and compliance. We also conducted special anti-bribery interviews with 40 key suppliers to deepen our joint eforts in building a clean supply chain.
In 2025, SNS and its subsidiaries signed environmental and safety responsibility documents, such as the HSE Management Agreement, with all on-site contractors. Concurrently, we provide safety and environmental training for suppliers working on the Company�s premises and maintain records of the HSE Training for On-site Relevant Parties.

Corporate Governance
Governance Structure
SNS has established a governance structure comprising the Meeting of Shareholders, the Board of Directors and its specialised committees, and management, ensuring that responsibilities are clearly defined and functions are distinct among the organs of power, decision-making, supervision, and management. In 2025, in accordance with the requirements of laws and regulations such as the Company Law and the Guidelines for the Articles of Association of Listed Companies, the Company transitioned away from the Board of Supervisors, with the Audit Committee assuming its statutory duties, and correspondingly updated corporate governance documents to improve internal management mechanisms.
The Company�s Board of Directors has four specialised committees: the Audit Committee, the Remuneration and Appraisal Committee, the Nomination Committee, and the Strategic Development and ESG Committee, which provide professional support for scientific decision-making. Each committee strictly adheres to the Articles of Association and its own working rules, efectively fulfilling its duties and ensuring the soundness of corporate governance and the stability of operations.

The Company�s organisational structure
SNS values the diverse backgrounds and independence of its Board of Directors members. In the director selection process, the Company comprehensively considers candidates� educational backgrounds, professional fields, capabilities, and practical experience to ensure the Nomination Committee provides fair review opinions and that the governance level makes comprehensive, scientific, and efective decisions. In 2025, the Company�s Board of Directors converted a non-independent director seat into a seat for an employee representative director, who will be elected by the employee representative congress, thereby optimising the composition of the Board of Directors.

As of the end of this reporting period, the Board of Directors of SNS comprised a total of 9 members,
including 1 female director, 3 independent directors, and 1 employee representative director.
During the reporting period, the Company held meetings of the Board of Directors, meetings of the Board of Supervisors, and special committee meetings.
Director Remuneration
The Board of Directors� Remuneration and Appraisal Committee is responsible for drafting remuneration plans and incentive programmes for the Company�s directors and senior management, and for supervising the implementation of these plans. During the reporting period, the Company formulated the Director and Senior Management Compensation Management System, which sets out the remuneration for directors and senior management and establishes a scientific and efective incentive and restraint mechanism.
The Company has established a performance-oriented remuneration and incentive system, formulating senior management�s remuneration plans based on their primary responsibilities, job competency, past annual compensation, and the Company�s operating performance to incentivise management to create long-term, stable value for shareholders.
Shareholder Rights Protection
SNS places great importance on the protection of shareholder rights. The Company has formulated and continuously improves policies such as the Investor Relations Management Policy and the Information Disclosure Policy to provide fundamental institutional support for safeguarding investors� rights to know and participate in decision-making, while consistently conducting transparent and eficient investor communication and information disclosure. During the reporting period, the Company formulated the Public Opinion Management Policy to specify response measures for various potential instances of false or negative public opinion, preventing inaccurate information from interfering with investor judgment and decision-making and ensuring timely, professional, and accurate communication with investors.
The Company maintains smooth and timely information exchange with small and medium-sized shareholders and institutional investors; in 2025, we held 3 Meetings of Shareholders, convened 2 performance briefings, organised multiple research activities, and responded to 235 questions on the �Easy Interaction� investor relations platform, achieving a 100% response rate.

Business Ethics
Business Ethics Management System
SNS adheres to operating with integrity and fair competition. Through a combination of institutional regulations, process controls, cultural promotion, and company-wide oversight, it ensures that ethical principles are integrated into all business activities and employee conduct, prohibiting any form of corruption, bribery, monopolistic behaviour, or improper transfer of benefits.
The Company has formulated the Employee Integrity System, which clarifies the basic requirements and code of conduct for employees to work with integrity, and requires all employees to sign an Integrity Commitment Letter, pledging to conduct fair and transparent business activities based on four principles: �complying with laws and regulations, fulfilling duties responsibly, maintaining integrity and self-discipline, and cultivating personal virtue�, and to prohibit and resolutely oppose any form of corruption, such as bribery and fraud. In key business areas such as procurement, sales, and partnerships, the Company deeply embeds the requirements of honesty and integrity throughout the entire business chain by signing policy documents like the Procurement Integrity Agreement and the Procurement Integrity Commitment Letter, continuously strengthening the Company�s ethical and compliance defences
Integrity Risk Prevention and Control
The Company conducts an annual, company-wide special assessment of integrity risks. By examining multiple dimensions — including job responsibilities, business processes, institutiona mechanisms, the external environment, and historical cases — through methods such as departmental self-inspections, interviews, and data analysis, it systematically identifies potential risk points and corresponding control responsibilities for each position and business segment, resulting in a dynamic Integrity Risk Prevention and Control List. The Company requires personnel in important, critical, and sensitive positions to sign and acknowledge the Integrity Risk Prevention and Control List, understand potential risks and key control measures, and thereby enhance their risk awareness and self-discipline.
In 2025, focusing on key areas such as procurement, sales, and project cooperation, the Company identified two Level-1 integrity risk positions, seven Level-2 integrity risk positions, and twenty-six Level-3 integrity risk positions, and implemented control measures including refining institutional constraints, strengthening process reviews, signing special commitments, and conducting targeted interviews and training, placing personnel in these positions under key supervision and education
To prevent integrity risks in the procurement process, the Company has established a dual-constraint mechanism with internal and external coordination. On one hand, the Company signs a Procurement Integrity Agreement with key suppliers, which explicitly prohibits improper practices such as commercial bribery. The Supervision and Audit Department also organises annua integrity-themed meetings for new major suppliers to emphasize the Company�s procurement code of conduct. On the other hand, the Company requires all procurement personnel to sign a Procurement Integrity Commitment Letter to regulate and supervise procurement activities and promote fair and honest business transactions. In 2025, the Company conducted separate integrity interviews with procurement staf and suppliers to strengthen its integrity promotion eforts.
Business Ethics Training
Through a combination of regular publicity and education, case studies, and institutional constraints, the Company works to internalize the ethical principle of integrity and self-discipline from an external regulation into a conscious value shared by al employees, ensuring it is genuinely followed in daily decision-making and business operations.
SNS deepens warning education to fortify its integrity culture
In October 2025, in accordance with its annual learning plan, SNS organised a special educational session for its managers and employees to watch warning education films, integrating integrity education into routine learning management to advance the construction of a corporate integrity culture. This session used typical cases as warnings, analysing typical problems of disciplinary and regulatory violations, to help managers and employees deeply understand the importance and necessity of strictly observing discipline and rules, and to guide them in establishing a fine work style of being pragmatic, realistic, and working with integrity, thereby solidifying the ideological foundation of integrity for the Company�s high-quality development.
Whistleblower Protection Mechanism
The Company has established accessible reporting channels and a supervisory mechanism with internal and external coordination, encouraging employees, suppliers, and other partners to report improper business conduct, either by name or anonymously, through various channels such as the OA system, a dedicated reporting email, and executive reception days. All report are handled centrally by the Supervision and Audit Department, which completes its investigation, verification, and feedback within 5 working days of receiving a report. The Company adheres to the principles of objectivity, fairness, and suficien evidence, and handles verified reports in accordance with laws and regulations.
The Company places high importance on protecting the rights of whistleblowers and strictly enforces a confidentiality policy regarding their identities and the content of their reports. For reports verified to be true, the Company will provide corresponding rewards based on the circumstances and impact, efectively protecting the legal rights of whistleblowers and encouraging all personnel to participate in integrity oversight. As of the end of the reporting period, the Company had not received any reports or complaints regarding business ethics, nor had any negative incidents related to business ethics occurred.
