Its TNI has ranked first in China’s central enterprises.

CNMC’s 2022 ESG-Report is divided into three parts: “Heart of Responsibility”, “Journey of Responsibility”, and “Promise of Responsibility” with five chapters: “Consolidating and Fostering Core Business — Focusing on Long-term Development”, “Ingenious Management — Focusing on Excellent Development”, “Practicing Environmental Protection — Promoting Low-Carbon Transformation”, “Win-win Cooperation — Co-Building a Prosperous Road”, and “Responsibility Inheritance — Constructing a Harmonious Society”. It has truly reproduced the passionate narrative of CNMC’s cohesion and endeavors in 2022 by consolidating the “background color” through firm goals, highlighting the “natural color” through reform and innovation, improving the “quality color” through the lean management, adding some “bright color” through the green development, taking on responsibilities to share some “warm color”, and looking forward to the future with a positive attitude of the “CNMC”.
