Guide: brighter color, better, greener. Taking advantage of the new round of "central enterprises entering Yunnan", China's copper industry will continue to strive, with more successful new achievements and contributions, to make the "Kingdom of Nonferrous Metals" more shining and dazzling.

Yunnan Province is one of the major provinces of mineral resources in China, known as the "kingdom of non-ferrous metals", with rich mineral resources, green energy and unique geographical advantages. As a central enterprise among the world's top 500 enterprises, Chinalco has the advantages of technology, management, talent, capital, market and so on. The two sides complement each other's advantages and agree with each other strategically, and have established a good cooperative relationship for a long time.

With the common desire of "deepening the reform of state-owned enterprises, promoting state-owned capital to become stronger, better and bigger, and cultivating world-class enterprises with global competitiveness", in August 2007, Chinalco Group signed a strategic cooperation agreement with Yunnan Province. Yunnan Copper Group joined Chinalco Group. In August 2008, China's copper industry emerged as the times require, and in March 2016, it moved its registration to Kunming, becoming the first central enterprise with its headquarters in Yunnan. With the deepening of strategic cooperation between Chinalco and Yunnan Province, the 100 billion-level strategic restructuring began in May 2018. In December of the same year, Yunnan Metallurgy and other copper assets of Chinalco Group were injected into China's copper industry as a whole. China Copper, Yunnan Copper Group and Yunnan Metallurgy have come together and embarked on a new journey of hundreds of billions of dollars with assets of more than 200 billion yuan and annual business income of more than 150 billion yuan, ranking in the forefront of the domestic non-ferrous metals industry.

Business performance has repeatedly set new highs and brighter colors.

Complete the reorganization of assets in half a year, and realize the integration of management in half a year. With the determination to attack the city and pull out the village and the spirit of "hammering in the nail", China's copper industry has successfully completed the strategic reorganization and realized the win-win situation of "investors, government, management, employees, enterprises and creditors". It has created miracles in the development of the industry and the capital market, and has become a model of "central-local cooperation" in Yunnan. The continuous release of the "1-1 > 2" strategic cooperation effect and record production and operation performance have added a shining stroke to the accelerated development of the "Kingdom of Nonferrous Metals".

The cooperation between central and local governments has changed the pattern of the world non-ferrous metals industry. Chinalco has become the largest non-ferrous metals enterprise in China and has the first aluminum production capacity in the world. It has changed the industrial pattern of "one aluminum domination" of Chinalco Group, and consolidated its position as a leading non-ferrous metal enterprise of Chinalco Group. Yunnan Province has become a big base and rear area of Chinalco Group, further enhancing Yunnan's competitive advantage in mineral resources and consolidating Yunnan's status as the "kingdom of non-ferrous metals".

China's copper industry does not bear great trust, resolutely shoulder the responsibility of maintaining and increasing the value of state-owned assets and return on assets, comprehensively do a good job in strategic reorganization, production and operation, reform and development, the scale of development is growing rapidly, the quality of development is steadily improving, and business income is growing continuously. From 2019 to 2020, production and operation profits were maintained at about 5 billion yuan for two consecutive years, and taxes and fees totaled 8.863 billion yuan, accounting for about 5.8% of the province's value-added tax and enterprise income tax every year, and industrial added value accounted for about 6% of Yunnan Province every year.

From January to June this year, all kinds of work were steadily strengthened and improved. Production and operation reached the best level in the same period in history, with operating income of 97.763 billion yuan, an increase of 53% over the same period last year. Profits increased by 5.6%, industrial added value increased by 58%, and tax revenue increased by 41% over the same period last year. Diqing Nonferrous, Yuxi Mining, Huize Mining, Yiliang Chihong, Southwest Copper and other main production enterprises have made outstanding achievements and become the "ballast stone" and "pillar" of the local economy, making important contributions to the local economic development of Yunnan Province.

It is better to help Yunnan to get rid of poverty.

In the development process of "from scratch, from small to big, from weak to strong", China's copper industry has always practiced the development concept of "shareholder value-added, enterprise efficiency and employee income", and actively fulfilled the political, economic and social responsibilities of central enterprises. it has become an important force for Yunnan to speed up poverty alleviation and promote the economic and social development of the border areas.

Driven by "industrial" investment, innovation has formed "industry + education, employment, industry, infrastructure, medical care.". " The "1mm N" poverty alleviation model has contributed to the strength of copper in winning the battle against poverty.

Over the past five years, nearly 90 million yuan of poverty alleviation funds have been invested in Yunnan, more than 80 poverty alleviation projects have been carried out, helping more than 17000 people in 11 counties, cities, 28 villages and more than 4000 households in Yunnan Province to uproot their "poor roots." Deqin County and Xichou County, which are covered by the company's headquarters, have achieved poverty alleviation "taking off their hats" ahead of schedule, and have been assessed as "good" by provincial units in Yunnan Province for five years in a row. it has been fully affirmed and praised by the State-owned assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the State Council, Chinalco Group and governments at all levels in designated areas, and the "1 poverty alleviation model" has been recommended for the selection of "United Nations Global Poverty reduction case". This year, China Copper Industry is still actively involved in the work of rural revitalization, sending 17 village-stationed team members to participate in the task of rural revitalization in 2 townships and 3 villages in Lanping County, Nujiang Prefecture, and 1 township and 4 villages in Deqin County, Diqing Prefecture.

In the epidemic test in 2020, the company actively fulfilled the social responsibility of central enterprises, accumulating 22.4 million yuan in anti-epidemic donations, giving full play to the advantages of central enterprises, and when the domestic epidemic situation was most tight and materials for prevention and control were most scarce, forward-looking arrangements were made to purchase masks and other epidemic prevention materials from Peru, Bolivia, Zambia and other overseas markets to assist Yunnan, and donated 64800 N95 medical masks to Yunnan Province. Since the beginning of this year, 1.3 million yuan of earthquake relief funds have been donated abroad, of which 1 million yuan has been donated to the Earthquake in Dali, Yunnan Province.

Play the "green energy card" and make it greener.

China's copper industry not only sends charcoal in the snow for Yunnan's social development at a critical moment, but also pursues "icing on the cake" for Yunnan's local economy, and has carried out fruitful work in environmental protection and resource utilization. China's copper industry has actively implemented the strategy of "carbon neutralization", always adhered to the concept that "green water and green mountains are golden mountains and silver mountains", firmly adhered to the development strategy of giving priority to ecological and environmental protection, and continuously adjusted and optimized the industrial structure and eliminated backward production capacity. With the solid pace of green development, we will contribute to the creation of a "green energy card" in Yunnan Province.

We will increase the research and development and promotion of energy conservation and emission reduction technologies, focusing on the implementation of energy conservation technology innovation, recovery technology innovation, green production technology innovation, recycling and comprehensive utilization technology innovation, and so on. The copper smelting continuous blowing technology independently developed by China Copper Industry has reached the world-class level and has been popularized and applied, and has become a model of green smelting technology. The ozonation lead-zinc mineral processing wastewater treatment technology of Huize Mining Industry is the first in China, which solves the difficult problem of mineral processing technology of recycling in the whole process.

All enterprises strive to improve the level of equipment, optimize the production process, strengthen production management, and drive the transformation and upgrading of enterprises while saving energy, reducing emissions and reducing carbon. The comprehensive energy consumption of copper and lead-zinc smelting is better than the advanced index value of energy consumption in the industry, and some indicators have reached the leading level in China. In 2020, the discharge rate of industrial waste water and waste gas reached 100% and SO2 emissions decreased by 11.26% compared with the same period last year.

Adhere to the resource concept of "take it to a certain degree and use it in a moderate way", constantly improve the technology of mineral mining and mineral processing, improve the recovery rate and comprehensive recovery rate of mineral resources, and improve the efficiency of mineral resources. We will speed up the development of green mining, build green mines and protect biodiversity. 6 mines have been awarded as "national green mines" and 15 enterprises have been awarded as "national green factories", with a total mine reclamation area of about 17100 mu. We will strive to build a harmonious and healthy ecological home and achieve sustainable development.

It is more successful to take the road of high-quality development.

Never forget why you started, and your mission can be accomplished. When China Copper Industry entered Yunnan, Yunnan Province and Chinalco Group placed great strategic trust on "two platforms, one base, 300 billion", and always kept in mind the grand blueprint of building world-class copper-lead-zinc enterprises with global competitiveness. always bear in mind the major mission of being better, stronger and bigger state-owned capital, and achieve results in speeding up strategic cooperation with the "three-step" battle plan. Help Yunnan to create world-class "three cards" and reshape the new advantages of pillar industries.

In 2020, the operating income of the copper industry took the lead in breaking through the 100 billion yuan mark, successfully realizing the "first step". During the 14th five-year Plan period, China's copper industry will be based on the new stage of development, implement the new development concept, integrate into the new development pattern, take high-quality development as the theme, reform and innovation as the fundamental driving force, in accordance with the development thinking of "expanding resources, strengthening mines, optimizing smelting, doing live processing, doing solid coordination, and doing refined germanium industry", comprehensively enhance competitiveness and company value, and ensure the completion of the "next two steps". In 2023, the scale of green aluminum integration industry will reach 100 billion yuan, and the company's operating income will exceed 200 billion yuan. In 2025, the lead and zinc industry will reach 70 billion to 100 billion yuan, with a business income of more than 300 billion yuan, the first in China and the first in the world in terms of mine lead and zinc metal production capacity, and fully realize the strategic cooperation goal of "two platforms, one base and 300 billion". Join the first camp of the global copper-lead-zinc industry and build a world-class copper-lead-zinc enterprise with global competitiveness.

The headquarters of China Copper Industry is located in Yunnan, and the cluster effect and scale effect of headquarters economy are gradually released. As the main body of Yunnan's construction of a 300 billion-yuan industry, it has completed a total investment of about 18.6 billion yuan in fixed assets, of which nearly 12.7 billion yuan has been invested in Yunnan. Relying on the leading position of Chinalco Group in the industry, China's copper industry will give full play to the "chain length" role of the three industrial chains of copper, lead, zinc and aluminum, drive upstream and downstream enterprises to invest in Yunnan, and take the initiative to find cooperation points in the development positioning of various cities in Yunnan Province. establish the coordinate of the development of China's copper industry. By holding international aluminum week, international lead and zinc week, international copper week and other world non-ferrous industry annual meetings in Yunnan, we will strengthen Yunnan's status as a major province of non-ferrous metals, promote local investment attraction, and promote the development of Yunnan's non-ferrous metals industry.

In the next step, China's copper industry will also firmly seize the opportunity of Yunnan Province to build a world-class "China Aluminum Valley" relying on the advantage of green energy, and speed up the construction of major projects such as the transfer of green aluminum production capacity; we will continue to promote major projects such as the new construction of the southwest copper industry in other places and the comprehensive management of the Jinding zinc industry. Actively respond to the national "Belt and Road Initiative" cooperation initiative, serve Yunnan in building a radiation center for South Asia and Southeast Asia, speed up the layout of markets in Asia, Africa, and South America, and be in the vanguard of "going out". We will promote Yunnan to form a new highland of non-ferrous metals in China and even in the world.

Brighter colors, better, greener. Taking advantage of the new round of "central enterprises entering Yunnan", China's copper industry will continue to strive, with more successful new achievements and contributions, to make the "Kingdom of Nonferrous Metals" more shining and dazzling.
