CHANGSHA, China, Oct. 14,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Forbes
China has unveiled its 2024 China ESG 50 list and ESG
inspired case studies, recognizing SANY Group's "Lighthouse
Factory" in Indonesia for its
outstanding ESG practices. This accolade celebrates SANY's
forefront role in merging digitalization with low-carbon
manufacturing on a global scale. It marks another significant
milestone for SANY Group, reinforcing its reputation for
sustainability leadership within the manufacturing sector on an
international stage.
This recognition underscores the successful integration of
corporate strategies with environmental stewardship principles,
illustrating that sustainable development can indeed drive
industry-leading change. SANY's presence on the list not only
signifies its commitment to ESG as a core business strategy but
also highlights its proactive approach in spearheading
transformative initiatives across the industry.
Global Recognition for Sustainable
Innovation
Forbes China's
research emphasized the integration of ESG principles with core
business operations, strategies, and models. Out of nearly five
hundred actively submitted cases, only ten were selected as
representative inspirations. Forbes emphasized that successful
organizations now see ESG not just as a business expense, but as an
integral part of their strategic operations. SANY Group stood out
by transforming its business strategy to incorporate ESG as a key
operational element rather than a cost factor.
SANY Lighthouse Factory: A Benchmark for Global
Manufacturing
In 2023, SANY Group inaugurated its pioneering
overseas Lighthouse Factory in Indonesia, equipped with full network
connectivity and automated production capabilities. As the first
such facility outside China from the domestic engineering machinery
sector to set international standards for intelligent
manufacturing, this factory features a comprehensive intelligent
system architecture including manufacturing operation systems and
automated material delivery systems among others.
From smart manufacturing to smart factories, modern
manufacturing enterprises have embraced ESG principles throughout
their transformation process. The Lighthouse Factory established by
SANY in Indonesia serves as a
benchmark for the industry. It not only enhances operational
efficiency and cost control, but also significantly improves
resource utilization and reduces energy consumption and waste
emissions.
Driving Digital Transformation Towards Green
Development
Amidst the backdrop of the digital economy, SANY
has been vigorously advancing digital reforms to foster green
transformation methods. As of October
2024, SANY Heavy Industry has completed the construction of
33 digital factories that are fully operational. The company's
industrial internet IoT platform now supports real-time online
connectivity for 18,000 devices and 51,000 cameras—integrating
massive data collection, aggregation, analysis through modeling to
achieve digital twins that enhance quality improvement while
reducing costs. In their ongoing efforts throughout 2023 alone,
energy-saving projects implemented during operations have saved
over RMB 100 million in energy
costs.
"Our focus on integrating advanced production technologies not
only positions us at the forefront of industrial innovation, but
also reinforces our commitment to sustainable practices," said
Xiang Wenbo, Chairman of SANY
Group, "Being recognized by Forbes serves as a testament to
the hard work and commitment of our employees in embracing
responsible manufacturing."
