2019 is an extraordinary year to the Group. Through our committed and ongoing efforts in 2019, the Company was listed on the Main Board of The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited on 16 January 2020, which represents an important milestone in our business development and forward movement. We operate a private university which is the largest in Shanghai and the best in the first-tier cities*. While maintaining the rapid scale growth of this university, we uphold the belief of "Thanksgiving, Return, Loving and Responsibility" towards a path of sustainable development to vigorously promote the environmental, social and governance work.

We insist on "building a bridge for students to achieve success". We provide our students with high quality education focusing on applied sciences and covering a full range of practical major offerings. By virtue of the professional courses designed by us closely based on the market demands and through international cooperation, industry-teaching integration, school-industry collaboration and other strategies, we expand the global views, improve the comprehensive quality and enhance the job market competitiveness of our students, which lays a solid foundation for our University to achieve a higher initial employment rate of graduates. In May 2018, we started to implement the ISO 9001 quality management system and developed quality criteria for various education and teaching links, so as to ensure the extremely high teaching quality of our talent development. As at 30 September 2019, our University has entered into 68 cooperation agreements with different overseas institutions to set up international programmes, carry out a variety of overseas exchanges and studies for students, and actively facilitate internationalised school running, with a view to broadening the global views of students.

We are committed to "building a bridge for teachers to fulfil their career goals". We formulate fair and rigorous employment rules and assessment measures to manage our teaching team. With considerate care for our staff and well-established training system in place, we also build an elite team with both integrity and ability and improve the abilities of teachers at teaching and education, thereby building a solid bridge for teachers to get rooted and fulfil their career goals.

We realise "building a bridge for society to satisfy its need for educated talents". We exercise stringent management and law-based governance of our University in accordance with the code of conduct with integrity and compliance operation, protect the privacy and interests of students and their parents, respect intellectual property, and build a responsible supply chain management system. We show high concern about the needs of students, their parents and teachers, establish a sound health and safety management system and various communication channels to provide a healthy and safe campus to students and teachers, and listen to their needs through sincere exchange of opinions with them. To build a low-carbon and green campus, we have formulated the Corporate Sustainable Development Policy to implement energy saving and emission reduction and mitigate climate changes. We take an active part in various charitable activities, voluntary services and social practices.

For sustainable development, Gench Education fulfils its corporate social responsibilities and stays true to its original intention to forge ahead in promoting the environmental, social and governance work. Meanwhile, we continue to implement the basic task of nurturing capable and upright graduates by leveraging on the strengths of private university system in innovation to continuously improve the quality of applied talent development and cultivate more appropriate talents catering for the needs of social development.

Risk Management

In 2019, we conducted a "top-down,bottom-up and all levels combined" risk identification exercise, as led by the quality and planning office of our University and facilitated by an external consultant. By doing this, new risk areas were identified for further consideration and evaluation of their impacts on our business, whilst existing risks were also analysed from a new perspective.

Corporate Sustainable Development Policy

In addition to extensive development of our education cause, the Group also fulfils its corporate social responsibilities to advance the social development. During the Year, we have formulated and published our first Corporate Sustainable Development Policy to guide the Company's business operations. It reflects that the Group firmly believes that our education and teaching business, supply chain and the communities in which our University operates can create long-term and far-reaching value for us. These factors are always considered during the inception, design, execution and cultivation phases of the course offerings and integration modes in production, education and research involved in the education and teaching business of the Group.

In order to effectively implement sustainable development policies, we have formulated the following policies targeted for various environmental and social impacts:

MATERIALITY ASSESSMENT AND ANALYSIS

Material Issues

For the purposes of the Group and our ESG Report, materiality is defined as any factor that has a present or future impact on our ability to achieve our sustainable development vision. We believe that balancing internal and external viewpoints is critical to define and manage sustainable development issues that are relevant to our business and our stakeholders.

To further identify the material issues of practice and disclosure for corporate environment, society and governance and raise in the report pertinent ESG issues in response to the concerns and demands of our stakeholders, we have conducted a materiality assessment to identify the most material ESG issues while maintaining regular communications with our stakeholders. The steps of our materiality assessment during the Year are as follows:

1. Identifying key stakeholders and material ESG issues

- We identified our key stakeholders and 30 material ESG issues through consultation with our external consultant and analysis of business operations, development strategy and planning
Stakeholder engagement
- In 2019, we conducted online questionnaires, interviews and communications with over 150 stakeholders to understand their concerns and expectations on the Group in respect of the environment, society and governance
Ranking material ESG issues
- By quantitative analysis and prioritising of various ESG issues shown in the results of surveys on our stakeholders, we identified 8 issues of high materiality, including "health and safety assurance for students", "teaching quality control and management", "compliance operation and integrity", etc., and 17 issues of moderate materiality and 5 issues of general materiality
Confirmation by the management of the Group
- The analysis results of material ESG issues were submitted to the Board of the Group for discussions on the demands highly concerned by our stakeholders and adjustments to our sustainable development strategy and management policy as appropriate

5.1 EXCELLENT EDUCATIONAL PHILOSOPHY

The Group's Shanghai Jian Qiao University takes "Thanksgiving, Return, Loving, Responsibility" as its motto, and "building bridges for students to achieve success, for teachers to fulfil their career goals, and for society to satisfy its need for educated talents (為學生建成才之橋，為教師建立業之橋，為社會建育人之橋)" as its mission. With the quality policy of "People-oriented, Moral Education Prioritised, Law-Abiding, Strict Management", our University provides students with quality education centering on applied sciences. Our comprehensive curriculums, which encompass a broad range of practical major offerings, are designed to equip our students with practical skills and enable them to meet the demands of the rapidly evolving job market. We conduct broad market survey to determine demand in the job market and develop corresponding majors and courses, bringing about a high initial employment rate for our graduates, which were about 99.3%, 99.8%, 99.0%, and 99.0%, as of 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019, respectively. We collaborate closely with enterprise partners and have established school-industry collaboration programmes, including two industry-teaching integration and innovation bases under the Ministry of Education, to help our students acquire readily applicable skills and find desirable employment.

Our University maintains a focus on applied undergraduate education, facing the modern service industry and advanced manufacturing industry, integrating with Lingang, keeping a foothold in Pudong, serving Shanghai and radiating the Yangtze River Delta, exploring the multi-level vocational education of higher vocational - undergraduate - professional master's degree, cultivating high-quality applied technology specialists with good moral cultivation, solid theoretical foundation, strong practical ability, and innovative spirit and international vision who are engaged in the front-line work of production, construction, management and service. Relying on the industrial development and social development needs of Pudong New Area, especially the Lingang New Area, and focusing on key areas such as intelligent manufacturing, modern services, culture and creativity, we strive to establish 8 professional clusters which are closely connected to the Lingang industrial chain, including the intelligent manufacturing professional cluster, ICT professional cluster, finance, trade and logistics professional cluster, leisure service professional cluster, aviation service professional cluster, jewelry, new media and creative design professional cluster, applied foreign language professional cluster and modern livelihood service professional cluster.

According to the overall deployment and school-running orientation of the Thirteenth Five-Year Plan, our University has taken the initiative to adapt to the national opening-up strategy, and actively promote the international education to broaden the students' international horizons. Our University is the first private university in Shanghai to obtain the admission qualification for international students, and is also listed as a university supported by Shanghai government scholarship for international students. We has developed close cooperation and exchanges with many overseas universities, covering business, mechatronics, information, art, design, jewelry, language and other professional fields. Our University has formulated relevant management measures to ensure the orderly progress of the project, with remarkable results, and has formed a relatively vivid and active atmosphere of international exchange and cooperation, which has vigorously promoted our transformation into a university of applied technology.

5.3 STRICT QUALITY MANAGEMENT

The quality of teaching is particularly important to the development of higher education, and the construction of the quality assurance system is the key to the cultivation of talents in colleges and universities. Our University has always taken quality construction as an important support to achieve endogenous development. In order to implement the concept of comprehensive quality management, we started the construction of the ISO 9001 quality management system in 2017 and received certification from the Shanghai Audit Center of Quality System in May 2018. We have implemented the ISO 9001 quality management system in our daily practice to optimise our management system.

Our University has established an effective teaching quality assurance system and formulated quality standards for all aspects of education and teaching. Under the guidance of ISO 9001 quality management system, we implement the quality policy of people-oriented, moral education prioritised, law-abiding and strict management. We interpreted the four stages of "Plan, Do, Check, Act (PDCA)" in management as a quality assurance system of ex-ante prevention, progressing monitoring and cyclic improvement, forming a mechanism of self-discovery,self-correction and self-improvement. Our University has built a quality assurance system for undergraduate teaching with multi-departmental collaboration at university and colleges and deep involvement of third-party assessment, and according to the process of "standard - implementation - checking - evaluation - feedback - improvement", it has gradually formed a multi-level and multi-dimensionalclose-loop quality monitoring system to ensure the quality of every aspect of talent cultivation through various quality management efforts, such as Excellent Gench Programme (卓越建橋計劃), Secondary College KPI Management Examination, internal/external review of professional standard assessments, Mycos research, internal/external teaching supervision, classroom observation by middle management, student information feedback, identification and handling of teaching accidents, etc.

6.1 STRINGENT EMPLOYMENT STANDARDS

Gench Education strictly abides by the Labour Contract Law of the People's Republic of China, Management of Labour Work and Personnel in Shanghai, Provisions on the Prohibition of Using Child Labour and other relevant employment laws and regulations that have a significant impact on us and are related to compensation and dismissal, recruitment and promotion, working hours, rest periods, equal opportunity, diversity, anti-discrimination, and other benefits and welfare, and we have established a comprehensive employment management system with a range of employment-related system documents including Human Resources Management Procedures, Administrative Measures for Recruitment of Teachers and Staff, Administrative Measures for Annual Assessment of Teachers and Staff and Administrative Measures for Attendance of Teachers and Staff. The Human Resources Management Procedures regulates a complete employment management system, including human resources planning, recruitment and employment, job promotion, attendance and appraisal, training and development, remuneration and rewards and punishment, and resignation. System documents, such as the Administrative Measures for Attendance of Teachers and Staff and Principles on Schedule Arrangement and Implementation Measures, regulate the working hours and vacations of teachers and staff. The details of the employees of the Group are listed in Appendix I: Key Performance Indicators. The distribution of employees in different age groups can show the diversification of our employees. Employees aged below 40 and over 50 accounted for 53.6% and 23.4% of the total number of employees, respectively. We cherish senior talents, as their valuable experience can enrich the qualifications of our team.

We make a recruitment plan for the next academic year every year, and each employing department fills in the demand plan form signed by the relevant leadership and reports to the human resources office for summary preliminary examination, and after the leadership approval and confirmation of the recruitment plan, the human resources office organises the open recruitment. The candidates are examined by the relevant functional leaders and experts of the hiring college for written tests, interviews and other comprehensive examinations. We select suitable candidates on the basis of merit in accordance with the qualifications, experience, ability and other conditions appropriate to the position in question in a fair and impartial manner. The Group treats employees and candidates on an equal basis, and never discriminates against them due to gender, age, marital status, race, religion, etc..

Candidates are required to provide the proof of their identity, education, skills, work and other supporting documents during the interview, and the human resources office verifies the originals of the relevant documents to ensure the authenticity of the candidates' identity and qualifications, and strictly prohibit the employment of child labour. If the candidates' qualifications are found to be inconsistent, we will terminate their recruitment immediately. We will sign labour contracts with successful candidates, which stipulate the salary, benefits and holidays available to the employees. Forced labour is strictly prohibited. If any violation is found, we will deal with it strictly according to law. We will review the employment system to ensure that there are no children or forced labour. During the Year, the Group did not have any cases of hiring of child labour or forced labour, which highlights our strict employment system.

In order to correctly evaluate the moral and talent performance and work performance of the staff, we have formulated the Administrative Measures for Annual Assessment of Teachers and Staff to motivate teachers and staff to be more committed to their duties, improve their work efficiency and performance, become good teachers and staff with ideals and beliefs, moral sentiments, solid knowledge and a loving heart. The following four assessment criteria are used to evaluate the ethics and work performance of our teachers and staff, and the results of the annual assessment are used as the basis for awards, promotions, advancement and salary promotions. Teachers and staff with excellent appraisal scores will receive year-end performance pay, monthly performance pay and various allowances and bonuses in recognition of their outstanding performance.

building culture

We are concerned about the retention of every employee and have formulated the Administrative Measures for the Resignation of Teachers and Staff. When a teacher or staff submits his or her resignation, the head of the college or department will meet and communicate with him or her, make efforts to retain the teacher or staff with good performance, and explore the possibility of improving his or her working environment, conditions and treatment.

6.2 CONSIDERATE STAFF CARE

Employees are a valuable asset to the Gench Education in maintaining a quality education. We understand that a generous salary and benefits package is the driving force behind our staff's continuous improvement, so we care about our staff's needs and provide them with a generous salary and benefits package to encourage them to devote themselves to their work. In order to improve the performance-oriented remuneration system, enhance the motivation of the staff, reflect the salary reform strategy of "more pay for more work" and position-related salary, we have formulated the Measures for the Implementation of Remuneration Reform to create a positive work culture.

In addition to the statutory five insurances and housing fund, in order to reflect the care of Gench Education for teachers and staff, we set up the "Charity Fund of Jian Qiao University" in September 2007, providing financial assistance to teachers and staff with serious illnesses and financial hardships to tide them over, and to help other staff in need. In addition, in order to protect the interests of teachers and staff and to alleviate the hardships caused by illness and hospitalisation, we subsidise the premiums for each teacher and staff member who participates in supplemental medical insurance.

We belong to the education industry and have a relatively small impact on the environment and natural resources. The major impacts are the consumption of electricity, the use of water, the use of school and office supplies, the production of waste from school, offices and canteens, and vehicle use. We have formulated a series of effective systems and measures to reduce exhaust gas and greenhouse gas emissions, discharge to water and land, hazardous and non-hazardous waste, and minimise the impact on the environment and natural resources in our daily business operations, so as to build a green campus to contribute to the protection of the environment. During the Year, there were no incidents related to non-compliance associated with the environment and emissions within the Group.

The domestic waste of the Group is classified into four categories: dry waste, recyclables, wet waste and hazardous waste. The Group has implemented a system for separate collection of domestic waste at sources and at fixed locations within students, teachers and staff, canteens and shops, and has entrusted a qualified waste management company to collect and dispose of dry wastes. We strictly sort, categorise and rationally allocate recyclables, especially donating more than 800 pieces of clothing to the Hope Primary School through the "Weijia" project of our University, which realised the recycling and reuse of resources. In terms of the disposal of kitchen waste, we have purchased wet waste processors, and signed the Maintenance Service Contract with a qualified third-party manufacturer, so that kitchen waste can be processed on the spot on a daily basis, and will not be left on campus overnight or taken out of the campus. Regarding hazardous waste, electronic products, are recycled by qualified recycling companies for treatment.

Under our plan of promoting waste reduction and increasing the recycling rate of used and waste materials, we have achieved good results in waste reduction. For details of our waste data during the Year, please refer to Appendix I: Key Performance Indicators.

University-Enterprise Energy Saving Cooperation

To further increase the intensity of energy conservation and emissions reduction and achieve more effective results in environmental protection, we must rely on the promotion of innovative technology. Therefore, we have strengthened the cooperation with other companies and used social resources to promote environmental protection.

STRENGTHENING UNIVERSITY-ENTERPRISE ENERGY SAVING COOPERATION

Actively connecting with social resources, promoting the implementation of projects such as managing energy by signing contracts, as well as organising teachers and students to carry out exchange activities.

Charging stations for new energy vehicles installed by a third-party company are available for teachers, students and visitors, which are managed and maintained by the third-party company. At present, there are 4 charging stations in the parking lot of the affair centre, 5 in the underground parking lot of the library, 2 in the parking lot of southern dormitory, 4 in the parking lot of the overseas students' apartment, and 1 in the northern parking lot of the medical room.

7.6 WARMHEARTED SOCIAL PRACTICES

Adhering to our University motto of "Thanksgiving, Return, Loving, Responsibility" and the volunteer spirit of "Devotion, Fraternity, Mutual Aid, Progress", we have been committed to the development of charitable causes and vigorously encouraging students to participate in volunteer services and social practices in order to give back to society.

Earnest Social Welfare Charities

Since the donation to the first Hope Primary School in Junan, Shandong in 2000, we have cooperated with the Shanghai Committee of the China Democratic League to build two or three Hope (Candlelight) Primary Schools each year, with an investment of approximately RMB180,000 to RMB350,000 per project and ancillary facility of RMB150,000 to RMB800,000. Since 2000, the Group has helped build more than 40 schools in 25 provinces.

"LITTLE CANDLES, BRIGHT FUTURE" POVERTY ALLEVIATION PROJECT

Since 2004, our University has been organising several students from one or two (Candlelight) Primary School(s) that we built to carry out a one-week "Shanghai trip" every summer vacation, which has lasted for 16 years.

From 15 to 21 July of the Year, 20 children from Shangcun Town Central School and Tianba Town Central School in Huize County, Yunnan Province were accompanied by volunteers who were teachers and students from our University to experience the charm of Shanghai. During the event, these children, who are in dire need but outstanding in school, were guided by our volunteers to visit the Chinese Art Palace and the Shanghai Kunqu Opera Troupe, appreciating the extensive and profound traditional Chinese art and culture; explored the infinite mysteries of nature and science at the Shanghai Science and Technology Museum and the Shanghai Natural History Museum; started a colourful and wonderful adventure in Haichang Polar Ocean World; appreciated the beauty of the fascinating city when visiting the Pearl of the East and the Pujiang River; learned the noble spirit of the heroes and martyrs at the site of the First Congress of the Communist Party of China and the Leifeng Hall of Shanghai Jian Qiao University.

In view of the lack of interest courses in mountain schools, this event was also interspersed with robot courses, 3D printing courses, natural science courses, jewelry courses, basketball courses, etc. that children are interested in.
