On the day of the training, the ESG Committee of TCL Technology officially hired Dr. Shi Han as the "ESG Expert Consultant of TCL Technology Group".
At the workshop, Dr. Shi Han first comprehensively reviewed the global development situation of ESG, and specifically pointed out the sudden rise of ESG policies in China, which provides new opportunities and challenges for enterprises. Dr. Shi Han emphasized that a correct understanding of the connotation of ESG is crucial for companies to seize the opportunity for sustainable development. Dr. Shi Han shared specific methods for integrating ESG into corporate development strategies, including how to enhance a company's sustainability performance and international influence by establishing an ESG management system, selecting ESG key performance indicators, and establishing a performance management system.

Wei Xue, Vice President of TCL Technology and Director of the ESG Working Committee, mentioned that the ESG Working Committee of TCL Technology was officially established this year and will continue to deepen its understanding of ESG in the future to ensure rapid and steady progress in ESG practice. This is not only a process of enhancing corporate social responsibility, but also an important step for TCL to adapt to the trend of globalization and achieve sustainable development.

In the future, TCL Technology ESG Working Committee will continue to promote ESG system knowledge training and empowerment, inspire more companies to participate in ESG practices, and work together to build a more sustainable future.
