Secretary of the Party Committee and General Manager Lin Zhiyong delivered a concluding speech. 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 landscape and emphasize that high-quality service wins the market. Cherish every project opportunity, proactively create value for customers with 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 changes in the business landscape resulting from the company’s adaptive organizational adjustments and the challenges faced by human resources necessitate that all production departments—especially those leading in process technology—abandon their traditional “wait-and-see” mentality and proactively take the lead in coordinating and advancing projects, thereby creating the conditions for unlocking the institute’s full production capacity. Third, we should promote a positive and optimistic mindset and demonstrate our actions by getting things done. “Pessimists are always right; optimists keep moving forward.” Become an actor, seek solutions through practical action, and carry forward the tradition of overcoming difficulties. Fourth, we must remain steadfast in our confidence and determination to pursue development, and call on everyone to work together with one heart 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 outstanding collectives and individuals, and to keep striving relentlessly toward achieving new breakthroughs in the company’s high-quality development in 2026.
