SOTEC Successfully Holds the 2025 Semi-Annual Management Work Conference

As the environmental protection industry entered the midpoint of 2025 amid profound transformation, industry development has shifted from policy-driven expansion to endogenous growth, accompanied by shrinking market increments and mounting profit pressure, while new development opportunities centered on intelligent upgrading and resource utilization have emerged. Against this critical stage of transformation and breakthrough, Chengdu SOTEC Co., Ltd. convened its 2025 Semi-Annual Management Work Conference on the 18th. Company management gathered together under the guiding principle of Pursuing Progress While Ensuring Stability, Cutting Costs and Boosting Efficiency. Through in-depth reviews and in-depth brainstorming, the team identified solutions to prevailing challenges and gathered strong momentum for work in the second half of the year.

At the opening of the meeting, Ni Jinyuan, Chairman and General Manager, led all participants in a systematic review of core operational achievements secured by the company in the first half of the year amid a complex and harsh market environment. Against the headwinds of drastic industry restructuring, every step taken by the SOTEC team to forge ahead against difficulties was clearly reflected in operational data.

Subsequently, heads of all departments conducted thorough work reviews and self-assessments in light of the macroeconomic landscape and frontline operational realities. Participants faced existing problems squarely, proactively identified weaknesses and deficiencies, and engaged in candid and intensive discussions. Targeted action plans were formulated for the second-half-year objectives; each arrangement was designed with precision, and every measure was tailored to lift operational efficiency. The management demonstrated firm resolve to translate consensus into concrete actions and convert external pressure into internal driving force, striving unswervingly to fulfill the annual business targets.

During the conference, Mr. Ni delivered an in-depth discussion on the strategic significance and core connotation of cost reduction and efficiency improvement centering on the conference theme. He emphasized that seeking progress on a stable footing serves as the fundamental guideline and unwavering stance, while cost control and efficiency enhancement stand as the pivotal task for breaking through current bottlenecks. He particularly stressed that a strong sense of accountability lies at the heart of cost reduction and efficiency improvement. Only when high accountability becomes intrinsic awareness among all staff and permeates every link including R&D, production, operation and customer service can refined management, process optimization, technology-driven cost control, efficient resource allocation and value-added intelligent service solutions be fully implemented to deliver tangible results, enabling the company to forge ahead steadily amid the new era focused on refined operational management.

Following that, deputy general managers delivered speeches respectively. Based on their respective areas of responsibility, they supplemented evaluations on first-half-year performance, put forward specific requirements and recommendations for key tasks in the second half of the year, refined implementation pathways and strengthened coordination within the management team.

Favorable tides propel forward momentum; with sails set in favorable winds, great undertakings await accomplishment. Half of the 2025 journey has passed. Despite persistent arduous challenges, the strategic direction is clear and internal strength is building steadily. This semi-annual management conference serves not only as a comprehensive review and introspection, but also a mobilization meeting to unify consensus and gear up for renewed efforts. Upholding the steadfast strategy of pursuing progress on a stable foundation, SOTEC will unleash company-wide momentum for cost reduction and efficiency improvement underpinned by robust accountability, forge ahead amid industrial transformation, and strive for breakthroughs and high-quality sustainable development.
