Environmental sustainability

At Yongfeng Lihua Sunshade, environmental sustainability is not only a concept but also a set of action guidelines that run through the entire product life cycle. Relying on the group's mature environmental protection management system, we comprehensively reduce our environmental footprint from the source to the terminal.

    GREEN MATERIALS

    We fully leverage the green and recyclable material advantages of aluminium profiles. The main body of our products is made from a high proportion of recycled aluminium profiles, and we give priority to purchasing fabrics from sustainable sources certified by FSC or equivalent standards. Low-carbon technologies such as low-temperature curing and water-based coatings are adopted in the production process to reduce environmental impact from the source.

    REDUCTION OF CARBON EMISSIONS

    In 2023, through a full-process green transformation, we reduced carbon dioxide emissions by approximately 420 tons compared to the base year, which is equivalent to planting 23,000 trees. The group aims to reduce carbon emissions per unit of output value of its sunshade product line by 45% by 2030.

    CIRCULAR ECONOMY

    The concept of detachability and easy classification was integrated from the very beginning of the product design. We have established a closed-loop system of "aluminum material recycling - remelting - re-extrusion". After the products are scrapped, the recycling rate of aluminum profiles can reach **98%**. All packaging materials are made of degradable or recycled paper products to minimize waste landfill to the greatest extent.

SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY

We are well aware that the development of an enterprise cannot be separated from the soil of society. Yongfeng Lihua Sunshade integrates social responsibility into its daily operations and is committed to creating long-term and fair value for its employees, communities and partners.

COMMUNITY CONTRIBUTION

We regularly carry out the "Sunshade for Coolness" community public welfare project, providing free installation or donation of sunshade facilities to old residential areas, nursing homes, and public Spaces in schools. At the same time, employees are encouraged to participate in 16 hours of environmental protection volunteer services every year, such as community greening and the promotion of waste recycling, so that the company's resources can be returned to the neighborhood.

FAIR LABOR

All production bases of the group have passed BSCI or equivalent social responsibility audits to ensure that the global supply chain complies with fair labor standards. We offer our employees salaries and benefits that are above the industry average, regular occupational health check-ups, and have established "green and safe workshops" to achieve a zero rate of work-related injuries throughout the year. At the same time, a smooth appeal mechanism should be established to safeguard the dignity and rights of every worker.

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION PROJECTS AND ACHIEVEMENTS

We take concrete actions to practice environmental protection and have already assisted many customers in achieving energy conservation and consumption reduction. The following are representative cases:

TRANSPARENCY

We believe that true environmental protection can stand up to scrutiny. Yongfeng Lihua Sunshade takes the initiative to break down information barriers and truthfully present every production stage to customers and the public.

  • transparency-1

    TRANSPARENT PRODUCTION PROCESS

    Customers can view the complete "carbon footprint file" of their products, from raw material batches (aluminum ingot sources, fabric production locations), production energy consumption data, waste disposal records to the final quality inspection report, through their dedicated traceability codes. We have launched an "Online cloud Visit + Offline Appointment Factory Day", and regularly disclose the energy consumption and emission monitoring data of the production workshop every month.

  • transparency-2

    TRANSPARENT PRODUCTION PROCESS

    All products are accompanied by environmental compliance declarations such as RoHS and REACH issued by third-party testing institutions. On the "Environmental Protection Data Page" of our official website, you can review the carbon footprint assessment summaries and life cycle analysis reports of each series of products at any time to ensure that every step of your choice is clear and reliable.

PROMISE

Our commitment to customers, partners and the entire society is not just a slogan, but is reflected in verifiable actions and guidance.

ENVIRONMENTAL COMMITMENT

Yongfeng Lihua Sunshade promises **100%** New product development will follow the "low-carbon design principles" - giving priority to recyclable materials, simplifying packaging, and enhancing durability. By the end of 2026, all non-degradable foam and plastic cable ties will be phased out across the entire product line. We release the "Sustainability Report" every two years, which is reviewed by a third-party institution.

PRODUCT ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION GUIDE (ADVICE FOR CONSUMERS)

  • /attachment/237/source/promise-icon-1_221433.png

    CLEAN

    It is recommended to use neutral detergent and a soft cloth to manually clean the sunshade to avoid the waste of water resources by high-pressure water guns. It only needs to be cleaned 1-2 times a year.

    RECYCLING

    When the product reaches its service life, do not discard it directly. Contact our "Recycling Zone", and we will offer on-site disassembly services. Aluminum profiles will be returned to the furnace for recycling, and fabrics will be classified and enter the textile recycling system. Your one recycling campaign can give 85% of the materials a new lease of life.

FUTURE PLANNING

Focus on the present and plan for the long term. Yongfeng Lihua Sunshade has formulated a clear roadmap for future green development and is continuously promoting the green upgrade of the outdoor sunshade industry.

  • planning-1

    EMISSION REDUCTION TARGET:

    • BEFORE 2027

      Achieve 100% use of renewable electricity in the production process of sunshade products (80% photovoltaic coverage has been completed).

    • BEFORE 2032

      The sunshade division of the group was the first to achieve operational carbon neutrality (Scope One and two emissions).

    • BEFORE 2040

      Work with supply chain partners to reduce carbon emissions throughout the product life cycle (Scope 3) by **55%** compared to 2025.

  • planning-2

    GREEN INNOVATION:

    • MATERIAL INNOVATION

      Develop fully biodegradable plant fiber sunshade fabrics to replace some chemical fiber fabrics.

    • INTELLIGENT ENERGY CONSERVATION

      Develop an AI-driven dynamic shading control system that automatically optimizes shading strategies based on weather forecasts and indoor thermal conditions, thereby increasing energy-saving efficiency by an additional 15% to 20%.

    • CIRCULAR DESIGN

      The next-generation product will achieve a "modular quick-release structure", where all connecting parts can be separated without tools, doubling the efficiency of recycling and classification and driving the industry from a "linear economy" to a "closed-loop economy".
