On June 12th, China Water Environment Group released its first Water Environment ESG Sustainable Development Report at the Investment and Technology Promotion Office of the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (Beijing). The report covers the sustainable development goals and specific practical achievements of China Water Environment Group in three dimensions: ecological path, social impact, and corporate governance. It conveys the corporate mission of "guarding the source of life, helping green development", promoting development through innovation, establishing a participant ecosystem, and continuously supporting the achievement of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.

It is reported that in order to solve the global dilemma of water scarcity, China Water Environment Group continuously innovates green and sustainable ecological restoration solutions, promotes coordinated treatment of pollution reduction and carbon reduction, and is committed to doing a good job in water environment governance and improving water resource utilization. The annual sewage treatment scale is 1 billion square meters, and the regenerated water resources meet the annual water consumption of 600000 households, conserving 967000 square meters of water sources, ensuring the safety and sustainable use of water resources, and meeting the water needs of production and life. Assist 22 provinces and cities across the country in achieving clear water, green banks, shallow bottom fishing, and resource utilization.

After more than 10 years of research and practice, China Water Environment Group has innovatively proposed the distributed sinking and regeneration water ecosystem technology, which changes the treatment and discharge mode of the world's century long collection of urban sewage as pollutants and the construction of ground sewage treatment plants on the outskirts of cities. Using sewage as a stable secondary water source for urban collection, treatment, and reuse, transforming sewage treatment plants from above ground to underground, from centralized to distributed, and from sewage treatment to efficient utilization of resources and energy. Building green new infrastructure and urban ecological complexes on the ground, solving urban water environment governance, water and land resource shortages, and providing clean and reliable resources and energy for cities.

As of 2024, the sunken recycled water plant has released a land area of 884904 square meters for urban development, with an annual carbon reduction of 180000 tons; Greenland Park has added a total of 1200000 square meters and reduces carbon emissions by 3144 tons annually; The service area of the water source heat pump is 103280 square meters, with an annual carbon reduction of 5918 tons.

Hou Feng, Chairman of China Water Environment Group, pointed out that humanity is a community with a shared future, and protecting the ecological environment is a common challenge and responsibility facing the world.
