Established in June 2001, Cosunter is identified as a National High-Tech Enterprise and an Enterprise Superior in Intellectual Property in Fujian Province. Since its establishment, Cosunter has always taken the research and development of antiviral drugs for hepatitis B as its development priority, sticked to the idea of “spreading benevolence, caring for the people’s livelihood and revitalizing traditional Chinese medicine with science and technology” and actively followed the principle of professionalization and independent innovation based on industry-university-research cooperation. Possessing a leading pharmaceutical production, research and development base, Cosunter has become a leader in the field of researching and developing antiviral drugs for hepatitis B in China. On April 22, 2015, Cosunter was listed in the Shenzhen Stock Exchange (stock code: 300436), becoming the first listed private company in Ningde City.
I. Environmental Protection Policies
In 2015, adhering to the environmental policies of “protecting the environment, making continuous improvement and creating a healthy life”, Cosunter strived to realize the environmental protection targets of “zero serious environmental pollution accident in the whole year; discharge of waste water and gas after fully reaching the standards; disposal of hazardous wastes by qualified enterprises; no secondary pollution accident caused by solid wastes”. In strict accordance with relevant national laws and regulations, the Company carefully protects the environment with all pollutants discharged as per relevant national or local standards and regularly organizes the monitoring of pollutants in the factory and the prevention and examination of occupational diseases of employees. By now, neither any environmental pollution accident has ever happened in the Company, nor has the Company received any administrative punishment from environmental protection authorities for behaviors against environmental regulations. We actively carry out constant clean production and comprehensively analyze our clean production level based on the needs of enterprise development and relevant data collected by peers to further tap potential for clean production, optimize the target of clean production, put forward the optimization process control plan and the pollutant generation reduction plan and continually improve our clean production level. All of the 24 clean production options put forward by the Company during the clean production audit (including 3 medium/high-cost plans and 21 low/no-cost plans) have been fully completed. Additionally, the Company has made great progress in terms of energy consumption and pollutant discharge.
The total input in the implemented medium/high-cost plans is RMB 1,160,300, which will bring about RMB 315,700 of economic benefits per year, including the annual saving of 2.913 t of diesel oil, 6,455 kilowatt-hour of electricity, 2,540 m3 of water and annual emission reduction of 51,863.14 normal cubic meter of waste gas, 0.757 kg of smoke, 11.069 kg of sulfur dioxide, 10.691 kg of oxynitride and 540 m3 of wastewater discharge. Meanwhile, the problem of exhaust emission in production process can be effectively solved, thus significantly reducing the discharge of such organic pollutants as DMF and acetone and effectively degrading such refractory organics as DMF and dichloromethane in waste water so as to ensure that the waste water can be steadily discharged as per the standards.

III. Investments in Environmental Protection and Technology Import
The Company determines the emission standard of various pollutants and ensures stable emission that reaches the standard in strict compliance with the “Three Simultaneities” of construction project. The Company also improves various protective measures, such as, the installation of supporting exhaust gas treatment system in workshops, the normalization of the stack area of hazardous waste and general solid waste and the adoption of wind-proof, rain-proof and leak-proof measures in hazardous waste warehouse.
In 2015, guided by the company philosophy of “spreading benevolence and caring for the people’s livelihood”, the Company “deemed environmental protection as its duty” and made constant efforts to carry out clean production, energy conservation and emission reduction. Based on current situation, the Company introduces advanced technologies and equipment to improve the ability to develop new technologies and products. Meanwhile, the Company will also continuously enhance the control of the production and disposal processes of pollutants.
