Dear colleagues,

we are pleased to announce the news that we have established a Corporate Sustainability Governance department within Hisense Europe. The goal of this department is to emphasize our commitment to ensuring sustainability and to combine activities related to sustainability in one place, e.g., environmental responsibility, strengthening our social responsibility and long-term sustainable business operations. 

The creation of the Corporate Sustainability Governance Department underscores our dedication to making a positive impact on the environment, society, and our long-term business success.

1. Innovation and Market Leadership: Embracing sustainability fosters innovation within the organization. By establishing this department, we aim to encourage creative thinking and position ourselves as one of leaders in our industry by developing sustainable solutions that set us apart from competitors.
   
   
2. Brand Reputation: Consumers today are more environmentally and socially conscious than ever before. By proactively integrating sustainability into our business model, we not only meet the expectations of our customers but also enhance our brand reputation and loyalty.
   
   
3. Cost Savings: Sustainable practices often go hand in hand with cost-saving measures. The Corporate Sustainability Governance Department will explore opportunities for resource efficiency, waste reduction, and other initiatives that not only benefit the environment but also contribute to the company's bottom line.
   
   
4. Risk Mitigation: In an ever-evolving business landscape, environmental and social risks are becoming increasingly significant. By establishing a dedicated Corporate Sustainability Governance Department, we are better equipped to identify and address potential risks, ensuring the resilience of our business operations.
   
   
5. Corporate Responsibility: As a responsible corporate citizen, we recognize our duty to contribute to the well-being of the communities in which we operate. Corporate Sustainability Governance Department will play a crucial role in aligning our business practices with ethical and responsible standards.

In conjunction with the establishment of our new Corporate Sustainability Governance Department, we are pleased to share NEW Hisense Europe Sustainability strategy, Hisense Europe Sustainability report 2022 and much more. Those documents outline our commitment to reducing environmental impact, promoting social responsibility, and ensuring the long-term sustainability of our business.
