Sustainability
Advancing sustainability, creating a better future together
Our Approach
Hongda Group integrates sustainability into every aspect of its corporate strategy and daily operations. From raw material sourcing to end products, and from three production bases to customers in more than 100 countries and regions, we build on cogeneration and a circular economy model to improve carbon footprint management, put sustainability into practice and create a better life. The Group has obtained ISO 14001, ISO 45001 and EcoVadis certifications and continues to benchmark and improve against internationally recognized ESG assessment frameworks.
Governance
Hongda Group has established a comprehensive sustainability governance system. Group management coordinates decisions, while its four production bases implement them. Environmental, social and governance (ESG) considerations are integrated into supply chain management, product research and development, and production operations. The Group has obtained EcoVadis certification and continues to benchmark and improve against internationally recognized ESG assessment frameworks.

Applications
Whether customers need food additives, scientifically formulated animal nutrition or compliance with requirements for pharmaceutical and agrochemical intermediates, a single point of contact at Hongda can mobilize the entire value chain across all three production bases.
From cassava and corn to specialty chemicals, Hongda connects the entire value chain and controls every stage through its own resources to ensure stable supply, consistent quality and efficient delivery.
A national circular economy pilot enterprise and green factory, Hongda has annual production capacity of one million tonnes and serves 3,000 customers in China and abroad, with leading positions in specialized sectors. Its integrated value chain connects field to table and fermentation to synthesis, supporting human health and green, sustainable development.
2026 Corporate ESG Ecosystem Conference
ESG in China has moved beyond initial awareness into a deeper stage. Future competition will increasingly depend on the ESG capabilities of entire supply chains: strong chain leaders build strong industries, and responsible leaders build healthy ecosystems.
2026 Corporate Sustainability Conference
Green, low-carbon, digital and intelligent transformation has become central to industrial upgrading. Sustainability is no longer optional; it is essential to improving quality and efficiency while enabling resilient long-term growth.
Sustainability in Practice
Environmental Management
Hongda Water has developed a domestic wastewater treatment project with a daily capacity of 80,000 cubic metres. Using constructed wetlands alongside reclaimed water reuse, conversion of sludge into fertilizer and wetland development, the project protects the Yi River ecosystem, improves urban infrastructure and delivers environmental and economic benefits for future generations.
Circular Economy
Supporting the Belt and Road Initiative, Hongda draws on regional, policy and resource advantages, including coal and corn, to develop production bases around three areas: coal mining, heat and power supply, and advanced processing of agricultural products.
Energy Saving and Emissions Reduction
Hongda follows five R principles: Reduce (optimize processes to reduce the footprint), Reuse (keep materials in circulation), Regenerate (support natural recovery), Repair (address problems before they grow), and Reject (eliminate unsustainable inputs at the source). Together, these principles create a closed loop covering the entire value chain, from prevention to continuous improvement.
Sustainability is not a destination but a journey of continuous improvement. Hongda Group will keep using green chemistry to drive industrial upgrading, leverage its integrated value chain for low-carbon transformation, and work with customers, partners and society toward a more sustainable future.
