Cai Rui, the company’s Executive General Manager, delivered a work report titled “Striving Vigorously, Breaking Through with Reform, and Fully Boosting Another Breakthrough in the High-Quality Development of the Chemical Research Institute.” The report conveyed: The spirit of the 2026 work conference of China Energy Engineering Corporation, China Electric Engineering Corporation, and Hunan Institute; The report states: In 2025, the Institute of Chemical Engineering will adhere to the working principle of "strategic leadership with technological underpinning," consolidate its "dual-core" strategy, deepen its expertise in planning and consulting, persist in technological innovation, expand market development, and strengthen technical support for relevant government departments and chemical industrial parks. As a result, the institute’s business performance will reach new heights, continuously boosting high-quality development and laying a solid foundation for implementing the "one body, two wings" development strategy and fulfilling the Hunan Institute’s “racehorse” strategy. The report emphasizes: Under the strong leadership of the Party committees of China Energy Engineering Corporation, China Electric Engineering Corporation, and Hunan Institute, the Chemical Engineering Institute has fully implemented the state’s strategic plan for building a “new energy system,” as well as China Energy Engineering Corporation’s “1466” strategy and Hunan Institute’s “Four Major Transformations.” Seizing development opportunities, the Institute takes planning, consulting, and safety services for governments and chemical parks as its key leverage, uses technological innovation as its driving force, and is committed to expanding mature traditional processes overseas while pursuing a path of specialized and refined development with differentiated growth. The Institute strives to achieve comprehensive progress by starting from specific areas and leveraging strengths to drive overall improvement, thereby fulfilling the strategic requirements of the 14th Five-Year Plan and implementing the layout outlined in the 15th Five-Year Plan. It aims to establish a comprehensive technical service model integrating “industrial planning + policy interpretation + technological upgrading,” thus opening up a new chapter for the provincial chemical engineering institute—a leading player in the industry and first-class domestically. The Institute will focus particularly on the following core areas: First, continuously deepen our expertise in planning and consulting to establish a high-end, distinctive brand for the Chemical Engineering Institute. Second, continuously expand our market presence to drive business growth. Third, continuously invest in technological innovation to enhance our core competitive edge. Fourth, continuously iterate on our technologies to strengthen the market position of our flagship products. Fifth, continuously leverage hydrogen energy technology to support our future strategic positioning. Sixth, continuously uphold Party building leadership to foster political responsibility and commitment.

Party Secretary and General Manager Lin Zhiyong delivered a concluding speech based on the company’s 2025 work report, summarizing key points in areas such as strategic guidance, market development, and production management, and stated: We fully recognize the company’s achievements in 2025 in areas such as production and operations, technological development, and market expansion. We have analyzed and assessed the impact of both internal and external conditions on the company’s overall strategic positioning as well as its market operations and management, and hereby put forward the following requirements: First, conduct a comprehensive assessment of the development situation and emphasize that high-quality service wins the market. Cherish every project opportunity, proactively create value for customers through solid technical expertise, high-quality service, and efficient delivery, build a strong reputation, and thereby expand the market. Second, we must accurately identify internal challenges and require the production departments to take the initiative and assume responsibility. The business landscape changes brought about by the company’s adaptive organizational adjustments, coupled with challenges such as tight human resource allocation, require all production departments—especially those leading in process technology—to abandon the mentality of “waiting for handouts” and proactively take the lead in coordination, thereby creating conditions for the entire institute to unlock its production capacity. Third, we should actively promote a positive mindset and firmly oppose empty talk about problems. “Pessimists are always right; optimists keep moving forward.” Become an actor, seek solutions through practical action, and carry forward the tradition of overcoming difficulties and surmounting challenges. Fourth, we must always remain firmly confident in our development and call for united efforts to create a better future. The entire hospital must go with the flow and, adopting a work style characterized by "speaking with authority, making firm decisions, and ensuring that every task is successfully completed," join forces to embark on a new journey of high-quality development during the 15th Five-Year Plan period.

At the conclusion of the meeting, the Institute of Chemical Engineering was recognized for receiving awards as an Advanced Collective and an Advanced Individual for 2025. We hope that the honored Advanced Collectives and Advanced Individuals will continue to build on their achievements, keep up their efforts, and make even greater contributions in their work. We also encourage all employees to learn from these exemplary collectives and individuals, and to keep striving forward together to achieve new breakthroughs in the company’s high-quality development in 2026.
