We always adhere to the concept of green development. In 2020, the Group introduced new grid-connected hydropower stations to provide green energy for the sustainable development of the city. We continuously strengthened the upgrading of the power grid, improved the structure of the power grid and reduced transmission loss. We value environmental protection, carried out fish propagation and release in the Hengjiang region and made positive contributions to improving the living environment for rare and unique fish in the upper Yangtze River. We vigorously developed the charging pile business, strongly supported the promotion and application of new energy vehicles and promoted energy conservation and emission reduction.

We always adhere to the principle of safe development, constantly improving the safety management system, increasing the investigation and management of safety hazards to enhance the level of intrinsic safety. We vigorously carry out safety awareness and job skills training for all employees and cultivate a safety culture with the Group's characteristics. In 2020, the Group's condition of safety production continued to be stable, and no production safety accidents above general level occurred throughout the year.

We always insist on fulfilling our social responsibilities.

5.3 ASSESSMENT OF MATERIAL ESG TOPICS

Stakeholder engagement is an important tool for the assessment of material ESG topics. Based on the reporting guidelines used in the Report and the Group's business nature, we identified 14 ESG topics to form the 2020 ESG topic database. To further identify the ESG topics that the key stakeholders are highly concerned with, we invited internal stakeholders (including directors and management) and more external stakeholders (including employees, investors, suppliers, customers and the community) compared to 2018 to participate in the online questionnaires and analysed the questionnaire results. We assessed the significance of the ESG topics to the stakeholders through analysing the responses from employees, investors, suppliers, customers and the community; and assessed the significance of the ESG topics to Sichuan Energy Investment Development through analysing the responses from directors and management. The results of the materiality assessment are presented in the following materiality matrix.

The main business of the Group is hydroelectric power generation. Therefore, our main impact on the environment and natural resources is the impact on the biodiversity of fish in the upstream and downstream of the river due to the water intake of the power station. In order to manage the related impacts, we have prepared an ecological flow release plan based on the ecological water demand of the river downstream of the dam site in terms of aquatic ecology, water environment and landscape, combined with hydraulic and hydrological methods, and in accordance with the technical specifications of ecological flow design and relevant provisions. In addition, we have also determined the ecological flow release facilities and safeguard measures during the water storage and operation periods. During the spawning season of fish in the national and local key protection, rare and endangered, or unique aquatic habitat in the developed area, we further increase the ecological flow after confirming the need; we strictly enforce the provisions of the reservoir regulation operation plan and conduct ecological regulation with reference to the minimum ecological flow of the power station. When the natural flow rate is less than the minimum ecological flow rate, the ecological flow rate of the power station will be devolved according to the actual natural flow rate at the dam site. When implementing the ecological flow release, we prioritize the use of dedicated release facilities and synchronize the design, construction and operation with the main project to ensure safe, reliable and flexible operation of the facilities.

During the Reporting Period, we organized various environmental protection activities, including front pool dredging, fish propagation and release, garbage removal, etc., to enhance the environmental awareness and motivation of employees.

8.2 ENERGY CONSERVATION AND EMISSION REDUCTION

Resource Conservation

The main resources used by the Group during daily operations are water withdrawal for power generation, power loss during power transmission and distribution and vehicle fuel consumption.

The Group's power generation business is hydropower generation, which is a form of clean energy generation. The Group's water withdrawal for its power generation business is mainly from natural water in the Nanguang River Basin, Hengjiang River Basin and Songjiang River Basin. We use the potential energy formed by the water level drop to drive the hydro- generator to generate electricity. Natural water is discharged to downstream basins after power generation, and the process of power generation basically does not pollute the water resources used. The water for the Group's office and domestic use comes from the municipal water supply network and suppliers. The Group had no difficulty in obtaining water for its power generation business, office and domestic use.

8 GREEN OPERATION

In order to enhance water and electricity conservation in our power generation business and to improve the efficiency of the use of hydroelectric energy, the Group has established the "Integrated Energy Division" and has been formulating and implementing a series of energy conservation measures to manage the Group's resources in a more refined manner. Some of the major measures are as follows:

Evaluate and assess the "rate of water consumption per kWh electricity" of each power station to urge them to conserve water resources

Require power stations to analyse and manage the natural water situation well and assess the water analysis work

Strictly control the self-consumption rate of power stations to reduce resource consumption

Clean the fouling grids on a regualr basis and in a timely manner to improve the utilization of hydropower and increase the efficiency of the generating units

Strengthen technical transformation, improve the power grid structure, and enhance supervision and metering management to reduce power loss during transmission

During the Reporting Period, our assessment standard of the "rate of water consumption per kWh electricity" not exceeding 27.5 m3/kWh has been met. Furthermore, our self-use electricity accounted for 0.91% of power generation, with an increase of 0.02% compared to 2019. The power loss during power transmission was 7.49%, a decrease of 0.41% compared to 2019.

For green office, we have formulated internal management policies and measures in the areas of the use of electricity and water in office, office supplies and office vehicles to accelerate the construction of an energy-saving enterprise. Some of the energy-saving measures are as follows:

Formulate Vehicle Management Regulations for office vehicles to standardize the management of office vehicles

Reinforce regular vehicle maintenance to reduce vehicle damage and ensure efficient vehicle operation

Actively adopt remote working to reduce unnecessary on-site investigation and inspection

Put up "Water Conservation" signs in pantries and toilets to enhance employees' awareness of water conservation

Law of the People's Republic of China on the Prevention and Control of Environmental Pollution by Solid Wastes Law of the People's Republic of China on Promoting Clean Production

Law of the People's Republic of China on Environmental Impact Assessment

The major emissions from the Group's daily operations come from exhaust emissions from office vehicles, indirect greenhouse gas emissions from electricity consumption and loss, as well as office and domestic sewage, domestic waste and a small amount of oily waste from inspection and maintenance operations.

In order to reduce the Group's emissions of air pollutants and greenhouse gases, the Group and its subsidiaries have formulated relevant energy-saving and emission reduction policies in accordance with their own operating locations and business characteristics. For example, Sichuan Energy Gao County Electricity has formulated the Energy Conservation Management Regulations, which explains a series of measures for the management of vehicle fuel consumption and electricity consumption in offices, in order to promote energy conservation and emission reduction. To address the indirect greenhouse gas emissions caused by electricity consumption, we have actively taken numerous measures, including gradually switching to more energy-efficient transformers, renovating old low-voltage distribution circuit, and appropriately adjusting the operating voltage of the power grid, as well as reducing power loss during electricity transmission and distribution through equipment and technical transformation 5, thereby reducing the corresponding greenhouse gas emissions. Sulfur hexafluoride is used in the production and operation of the Group. We use high quality circuit breakers and have never had any leakage of sulfur hexafluoride.

When the circuit breaker reaches its designated lifetime, we will dispose it. We strictly manage the use, storage and custody of circuit breakers in accordance with the requirements for the management of hazardous chemicals, and we have signed agreements with units with hazardous waste disposal qualifications and entrusted them with the disposal of hazardous waste. During the Reporting Period, we did not generate any sulfur hexafluoride waste.

While promoting our own business development, the Group has also been committed to fulfilling our social responsibility. We have always been concerned about the well-being of the communities where we operate, and we understand and respond to the practical needs of the local people. We contribute to the community and create shared value through targeted poverty alleviation, voluntary service and charity.

9.1 FIGHTING AGAINST THE PANDEMIC AND POWER PROTECTION

In 2020, as the pandemic prevention and control measures continued to escalate, Sichuan Energy Investment Development's efforts in the pandemic prevention and power conservation have also increased. During the critical period of fighting against the pandemic, as one of the state-owned enterprises of the provincial power grid, we have been standing fast at our position and fulfilling our responsibility to maintain electricity. During the Reporting Period, we deployed 3,300 emergency repair personnel, carried out 1,532 fault checks and dealt with 65 potential problems in a timely manner, ensuring that the electricity needs of key units, key places and the public in the supply area are met.

With the gradual resumption of work and production of large-scale enterprises and key projects in the supply area, Sichuan Energy Investment Development has implemented eight measures to protect the people's electricity. For enterprise users who have applied for temporary suspension of power supply before the pandemic and are unable to produce during the pandemic, the suspension was automatically renewed until the enterprises apply for resumption of power supply, and basic electricity tariffs were not charged during the suspension period. In addition, we provided free connection of power to designated pandemic prevention and control medical institutions and isolation sites that are in need of additional power supply, in order to effectively promote the work of pandemic prevention and power protection, as well as to ensure the use of electricity for the resumption of work and production.
