Pressing Forward with Determination | LY iTECH Honored on Sina Finance’s 2025 Top 100 Chinese Enterprises ESG List, Embarking on a New Journey of Sustainable Development
Recently, the highly anticipated Sina Finance 2025 Top 100 Chinese Enterprises ESG Ranking was officially unveiled. LY iTECH stood out from over 5,000 evaluated companies to make the list, demonstrating its outstanding capabilities in sustainable development.
Sina Finance pointed out that as China’s ESG ecosystem continues to mature at an accelerated pace, with increasingly stringent policy regulations and soaring investor attention on ESG performance in capital markets, companies’ ability to achieve sustainable development is increasingly becoming a key component of their core competitiveness. The “Top 100 Chinese Enterprises for ESG in 2025” list, based on Sina Finance’s ESG rating system, evaluates more than 5,000 A-share listed companies and mainland enterprises listed in Hong Kong, using 18 industry-specific ESG evaluation models to provide a comprehensive, quantitative assessment of corporate ESG performance.
As a global leader in intelligent manufacturing, LY iTECH drives growth through innovation. Over the past 19 years, its business has expanded from consumer electronics components to emerging fields such as "people, eyes, folds, and apparel" (robots, AI glasses, foldable screens, and servers). In the first three quarters of 2025, LY iTECH’s R&D expenditure reached 1.78 billion yuan, representing a 26% year-on-year increase. Its robust R&D capabilities and steady business growth also underpin the company’s long-term vision for sustainable development. The past year has been a pivotal one in LY iTECH’s journey toward sustainability, during which the company has made significant progress across multiple agendas within the framework of climate and environmental, social, and governance initiatives, providing strong momentum for achieving the Sustainable Development Goals.
Environment: The use of renewable energy is rapidly increasing, with growth exceeding fivefold.
Guided by the nation's dual-carbon strategic goals, LY iTECH has taken proactive measures, and in 2025, various special initiatives for low-carbon transformation will continue to be advanced. Currently, 10 subsidiaries have completed 100% of energy efficiency projects covering the five major modules—lighting, air conditioning, steam, motors, and compressed air—and four subsidiaries have achieved completion rates exceeding 90%, while five subsidiaries have reached completion rates above 80%. In the first three quarters of 2025, the combined procurement of green electricity and solar photovoltaic power generation exceeded 300 million kilowatt-hours, representing a year-on-year increase of over five times. The proportion of renewable energy used in total electricity consumption reached 30%.
In terms of green production, the company continuously explores green and low-carbon processes for its core business products. For example, in the heat dissipation technology for VC vapor chambers (made of stainless steel, copper, and titanium alloys), we have replaced etching with stamping and high-temperature brazing with laser welding, simultaneously achieving weight reduction, pollution reduction, and improved yield rates.
In addition, LY iTECH is seizing the opportunities presented by clean technology developments in China and around the world. Leveraging its years of expertise in precision manufacturing, the company provides core materials, precision functional components, and modules for electric vehicles and low-altitude economy products, thereby supporting the industry’s transition toward electrification and intelligentization. From 2022 to 2025, the revenue share from the company’s automotive and low-altitude economy-related businesses has grown for four consecutive years. In December, LY iTECH’s Automotive Strategic Business Group officially completed its integration and set up operations in Xiangcheng, Suzhou, further expanding its product portfolio to include structural components for power batteries, interior trim parts for new-energy vehicles, and power transmission shafts.
Society: Strictly uphold quality standards and embrace diversity to achieve wider recognition.
As a core supplier of AI terminal hardware trusted by customers worldwide, LY iTECH consistently adheres to a quality management philosophy that is centered on customer satisfaction, prioritizes quality above all else, places technological innovation at the heart of its operations, and remains committed to continuous improvement. We consistently deliver high-quality products on time, meeting and even exceeding our customers’ expectations. The company is fully promoting the “Lean Production 9,883 Special Initiative,” in which 80% of components achieve a yield rate of 98.8% or higher. As of September 30, 2025, all relevant production entities have obtained management system certifications such as ISO 9001, ISO 13485, and QC 080000. All production entities for automotive-related products have acquired the IATF 16949 automotive quality system certification. Additionally, three subsidiaries have obtained the Customs AEO Advanced Certification, meeting international standards in terms of customs compliance, supply chain security, and international trade competitiveness, thereby providing strong support for LY iTECH’s global strategy.
As LY expands its business and pursues a global strategy, it remains steadfast in its commitment to employee care amid a continuously growing workforce. In 2025, the company will invest approximately 200 million yuan to improve employees' living and accommodation conditions, providing them with solid life support and enhancing their sense of belonging. Adhering to the principles of openness, fairness, and justice, LY is dedicated to offering every employee equal opportunities for career development, safeguarding their rights and building a diverse and inclusive work environment. In December, its subsidiary, Dongguan LY Precision Manufacturing Technology Co., Ltd., officially obtained ISO 30415:2021 certification—“Human Resource Management—Diversity and Inclusion”—becoming the first company in the AI hardware intelligent manufacturing industry to achieve this certification and setting a new industry benchmark. At the same time, the company’s “Diversity and Inclusion Ambassador Training” was successfully held, and the first cohort of 31 Diversity and Inclusion Ambassadors were officially certified. Through their own efforts, these ambassadors are now driving diversity and inclusion initiatives and co-creating a culture of inclusivity within LY.
Governance: Modern Management Empowers the Nth Growth Curve
Facing a constantly evolving industry landscape, LY iTECH has consistently adhered to the principle of "building on standardized governance and aiming for value creation," continuously enhancing its governance capabilities and promoting resilient governance to create long-term value for shareholders, investors, and other internal and external stakeholders. In addition, LY iTECH actively responds to governance trends related to sustainable development and is advancing efforts to build a professional and diverse board of directors. Currently, independent directors account for 43% of the company’s board members, and the proportion of female directors has increased compared to previous years, reaching 43%, significantly exceeding the industry average.
Recently, the company has been honored for the second consecutive year with the “2025 Best Practice Case for Corporate Governance Offices of Listed Companies,” awarded by the China Association of Listed Companies. This recognition highlights the company’s mature performance in areas such as information disclosure, investor relations management, capital operations, and corporate governance. In terms of information disclosure, since 2022, the company has received the highest rating—“Grade A”—for three consecutive years in the Shenzhen Stock Exchange’s evaluation of listed companies’ information disclosure practices. Additionally, the company was awarded the “2025 Best Board of Directors Award for Listed Companies” by Daily Economic News. Furthermore, at the 7th China Outstanding Management Company (BMC) Awards Ceremony held in July 2025, the company earned its first-ever Deloitte “China Outstanding Management Company” title, thanks to its outstanding achievements in strategic transformation, management innovation, and sustainable development.
Keep moving forward without pause, and practice what you preach to go far. Years of solid accumulation have paved the way for LY iTECH’s outstanding progress in the field of sustainable development by 2025. Being named on Sina Finance’s 2025 Top 100 Chinese Enterprises ESG List is not the end—it’s a new strategic starting point. In the coming year, LY iTECH will continue to harness sustainable development as the intrinsic driving force behind its global expansion and high-quality growth, implementing its vision of green development with even greater determination and reinforcing its leadership in sustainable development within the AI hardware and intelligent manufacturing sector.
