——Representing China on the Global Stage of Sustainable Innovation with Low-Carbon Technology in Response to the Planet’s Call

On October 22, 2025, the "Orange Economy Ignites Future Frontier Industries—UNIDO Global Call 2025 China Project Reserve Assessment Meeting," hosted by the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) and organized by the UNIDO Shanghai Investment and Technology Promotion Office (ITPO Shanghai), was successfully held in Shanghai.

The UNIDO Global Call is a global innovation collection and promotion mechanism launched by UNIDO, aimed at discovering and accelerating green technology solutions with high impact, replicability, and scalability. Since its inception, the initiative has become a vital bridge connecting governments, enterprises, research institutions, and international capital, focusing on key areas such as eco-manufacturing, circular economy, low-carbon materials, and digital innovation. Each year, it selects the most promising technology projects from around the world.

This assessment meeting centered on three key directions: eco-friendly production, digital innovation, and sustainable materials. With its groundbreaking technical solution, "Responding to the Planet’s Call with Low-Carbon Recycled Aluminum," the company demonstrated overwhelming technological superiority, standing out among over 50 cutting-edge green technology innovation proposals from across the country. It secured the China championship in the "Sustainable Materials" track and will represent China in the 2025 UNIDO Global Call global selection and the "One World Sustainability Award" competition. This marks a highlight moment for the Chinese automotive industry on the United Nations stage.

The pioneering "100% Recycled Aluminum + Heat Treatment-Free + Integrated Die Casting" technology system, developed by the company’s Materials Research Institute, has redefined the material logic of automotive manufacturing. Embracing the philosophy of "zero mining, zero thermal energy, zero waste," it presents a replicable green manufacturing paradigm for the global community. This technology system had already been honored with the 2025 Altair Enlighten Award global runner-up in the "Sustainable Product" category in September, making the company the first automaker to receive this accolade for its core recycled aluminum technology. Winning the UNIDO China championship now signifies the company’s "dual leadership" in both green material innovation and global sustainable manufacturing, officially positioning it at the core of the global green technology discourse.

In recent years, the company’s Materials Research Institute has been committed to its mission of "Responding to the Planet’s Call with a Scientific Spirit" and its vision of "Making Materials the Language of Sustainability," continuously building a green technology ecosystem. At the 2025 "Global Innovation Conference," it showcased systematic green innovation achievements, interpreting "Responsibility-Driven Research" and demonstrating how technology can bring warmth to the planet’s sustainability. From recycled aluminum to a recycled future, the company is using the power of technology to answer humanity’s shared question: "What can we do for the planet?"

As the only Chinese automaker among the first to sign the United Nations’ "Creating Sustainable Brands" vision initiative, the company has consistently been listed on the Fortune China ESG Impact List and recognized as an "Outstanding Case in Sustainable Development Practices" by the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers. It is also the only automaker featured on Forbes China’s "Sustainable Industrial Enterprises List," consistently earning global respect through "Scientific Language + Responsible Action."

Looking ahead, the company will focus on innovation-driven strategies, standard-setting leadership, and open collaboration as its core principles. It will work hand-in-hand with global industry chain partners to build a green value chain, contributing replicable and scalable "Chinese Solutions" to global climate action and sustainable transformation.
