  • VeChain and Shanghai Tanlian collaborate to lead the automotive industry in achieving carbon neutrality and environmental compliance.
  • Zhejiang Kangxing Technology’s successful carbon-neutral certification sets new standards for eco-conscious manufacturing.

In an era where environmental sustainability takes centre stage, the groundbreaking partnership between VeChain and Shanghai Tanlian heralds a significant transformation in the automotive sector. This collaboration is poised to redefine industry standards by ensuring strict adherence to regulations, such as the EU Battery Regulation, and pioneering efforts in carbon footprint tracking and reduction.

Recent developments have seen Zhejiang Kangxing Technology, under the guidance of Shanghai Tanlian, achieve a significant milestone – Carbon Neutrality Verification (PAS2060) certification from the Norwegian-based DNV. This accolade designates the company’s factory as a certified carbon-neutral facility within the light chemical products manufacturing sector.

The concept of a carbon-neutral factory revolves around achieving net-zero emissions through a combination of renewable energy adoption, energy-efficient upgrades, and carbon offsetting measures. Zhejiang Kangxing Technology’s approach incorporates several innovative strategies:

Harnessing Renewable Energy: The factory has installed photovoltaic systems on its rooftops, promoting self-sustained and environmentally friendly energy consumption.

Eco-Friendly Transportation Solutions: The production processes prioritize the use of electric forklifts and other new energy vehicles to curtail carbon emissions.

Offsetting Remaining Emissions: Residual carbon emissions are effectively offset using carbon credits generated from VCS-certified renewable energy projects, encouraging broader contributions to carbon reduction initiatives.

Leveraging Digital Carbon Management: Through Shanghai Tanlian’s VeCarbon digital carbon management platform, Zhejiang Kangxing Technology efficiently manages and discloses carbon neutrality data, enhancing carbon management efficiency for sustainable, low-carbon development.

Advancing Product Carbon Footprint Disclosure: The company has also meticulously calculated and verified the carbon footprints of two products, making these disclosures through the VeCarbon platform, and laying the foundation for future product carbon neutrality.

Promoting Low-Carbon Employee Participation: Employees are encouraged to engage in low-carbon activities such as sustainable commuting and duplex printing, contributing personally to the company’s carbon neutrality objectives.

Enhancing Competitive Edge and Compliance

Attaining carbon-neutral certification not only bolsters Zhejiang Kangxing Technology’s market competitiveness by showcasing its commitment to eco-friendly practices but also ensures adherence to industry standards and regulatory mandates. This step is pivotal for fostering sustainable development within the organization, enhancing its corporate social responsibility image, and extending its influence.

In a customer testimonial, Chen Yifeng, Chairman of Zhejiang Kangxing Technology, lauded the indispensable support from the Shanghai Tanlian team in successfully navigating the carbon neutrality certification process. He also underscored the efficiency brought about by the VeCarbon digital carbon management system in handling carbon data and compliance disclosures.

This partnership between VeChain and Shanghai Tanlian, coupled with the successful implementation of carbon-neutral practices at Zhejiang Kangxing Technology, serves as a beacon for the growing trend toward sustainable and environmentally responsible manufacturing within the automotive industry. As these initiatives gain momentum, they usher in a more eco-conscious and sustainable future.
