Conference Overview
Gathering of Hundreds to Build a "Digital Ecosystem Community"

On the afternoon of November 5, the "Integration of Sustainable Development and Digitalization under International Mutual Recognition Mechanisms" conference, jointly organized by the Shanghai Energy Efficiency Center (Shanghai Industrial Green Development Promotion Center) and the Shanghai Green Wing Product Environmental Declaration Promotion Center (EPD Promotion Center), was held.

The conference, themed "Digital Ecosystem Community," invited sustainability experts from various fields both domestically and internationally to share insights and exchange experiences on topics related to digital-driven industrial green and low-carbon development. The event attracted numerous international and domestic certification institutions, industry experts, and representatives, who collectively explored how digital technologies can more effectively serve industrial green and low-carbon development. Nearly a hundred representatives from municipal departments, industry associations, certification bodies, and key enterprises attended the conference.

The conference featured a ceremony for the first batch of certification institutions joining the Shanghai Industrial Carbon Management Public Service Platform. Ti Certification, a subsidiary of Ti Group, participated in the launch ceremony as one of the first members.

Certification institutions joining the Shanghai Industrial Carbon Management Public Service Platform will conduct product carbon footprint certification and carbon efficiency evaluations for enterprises through the platform. Companies obtaining carbon footprint and other carbon-related certifications will find it easier to access green credit, green finance, and other funding support. The conference also officially launched the application channel for the "Carbon Leadership 2025 Plan," which will provide free carbon efficiency evaluations for 20 enterprises, ESG evaluations for 20 enterprises, and carbon footprint calculations for 50 products, promoting the digital and low-carbon transformation of local industrial enterprises.

As a drafting unit of the Corporate Carbon Performance Evaluation Guidelines, Ti Group actively contributes to the cause of industrial green and low-carbon development. The Corporate Carbon Performance Evaluation Guidelines serve as the sole evaluation standard for the "Corporate Carbon Performance Evaluation" module of the Shanghai Industrial Carbon Management Public Service Platform, helping to assess and reflect the comprehensive performance of enterprises in carbon management.

The conference also witnessed the signing of a mutual recognition agreement between the EPD Promotion Center and EPD Norway. This marks the expansion of Shanghai's "circle of friends" in international mutual recognition for EPD organizations and strengthens its "voice" in related international standards, enhancing the green competitiveness of domestic enterprises globally.

During the conference exchange session, Hakon Hauan, Chairman of EPD Norway, introduced new requirements for carbon footprint certification and sustainable development under international rules. Professor Zhu Qinghua, Chief Scientist at the Antai College of Economics and Management, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, and the ESG Research Institute, shared research and insights on "Supply Chain ESG" from a Chinese perspective. Pan Jun, Deputy Director of the Dual Carbon Center at the China Academy of Industrial Internet, discussed the construction and practice of a digital carbon management system.

Looking ahead, Ti Group will continue to uphold its service philosophy of "All for Trust," leveraging its professional expertise in the field of sustainable development to provide clients with higher-quality and more efficient services.
