Muyuan adheres to the philosophy of sustainable development and actively promotes green transformationacross its entire industry chain. Through innovative initiatives such as low-carbon farming and Crop-Livestockcycle, the company actively explores the application of green energy and pioneers new models for greendevelopment in animal husbandry, fostering new drivers of productivity in the sector.
Low-Carbon Actions across theValue Chain
Soybean meal is one of the main components of pig feed, providing essential protein for pig growth. However,it is expensive, and protein metabolism in pigs produces nitrogen. Since pigs absorb only a limited amount ofnitrogen, the excess is excreted, leading to increased nitrous oxide emissions.Muyuan has continued to invest in the research and application of low-soy diets, investing 143 million yuanto reduce soybean meal usage, thereby lowering farming costs while also reducing excess nitrogen intake,nitrogen emissions, and nitrous oxide emissions. This achieves a synergy between economic and ecologicalbene? ts. In 2024, soybean meal accounted for only 7.3% of the low-soy diet, which was well below the industrylevel. This has reduced nitrogen emissions by 83 thousand tonnes, equivalent to a reduction of 161.3 thousandtonnes of CO
e greenhouse gas emissions. Furthermore, through in - depth research on the optimal nutritionalneeds of pigs and the development of an intelligent feeding system, daily customized diet has been achieved.The company ensures balanced nutrition while increasing feed efficiency and reducing greenhouse gasemissions.
Low-Soy Diet
Crop-Livestock CycleMuyuan integrates livestock farming with agricultural development by promoting the resource utilization ofmanure and establishing a circular economy model of "pigs fertilizes ? elds, ? elds feed pigs". By achieving thecombination of agriculture and pig farming and the Crop-Livestock cycle, the company maximizes the use ofmanure to replace chemical fertilizers, enhances soil organic matter, cultivates soil fertility, and helps farmersreduce the use of chemical fertilizers, thereby continuously contributing to agricultural carbon reduction.To improve fertilizer use e? ciency, Muyuan has formed a dedicated team of agronomists to conduct researchon the resource utilization technologies of crops. In accordance with national standards such as the TechnicalGuidelines for Estimating the Land Carrying Capacity for Livestock and Poultry Manure, and considering variousgeographic and crop conditions, the company returns harmlessly treated manure to the ? elds in a scienti? callysound manner. As of now, Muyuan has established resource utilization pathways for 39 types of crops, includingsweet potatoes, citrus, potatoes, water bamboo, and bananas.In 2024, Muyuan laid a total of 28.381 million meters of support pipelines for agricultural services. The manureresource utilization services covered 4.7208 million mu of farmland (approximately 314,877 hectares) , anincrease of 200.1 thousand mu (approximately 13,347 hectares) compared to 2023. This replaced 154.6thousand tonnes of chemical fertilizer, an increase of 7,800 tonnes year-on-year. Soil organic matter increasedby 2.15%, contributing to cost savings and increased income totaling 1.353 billion yuan. The total amount ofcarbon sequestered in the soil reached 1.4474 million tonnes of CO

Moreover, we actively promote industrial services related to ammonia reduction and deodorization, assistinglarge-scale pig and poultry farms in upgrading their ammonia control systems.
In 2024, Muyuan's ammonia reduction technology was promoted by the Ministry of Ecology and Environmentas a key model and deployed with full sets of equipment in Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei, Henan, and Shandong toadvance ammonia emission reductions in animal husbandry.
In addition to advancing its own emission reduction practices, Muyuan actively shares its ammonia reductionand deodorization technologies with the industry to support sector-wide ammonia emission reductions.
Sharing of Ammonia Reductionand Deodorization Technologies
To further replace soybean meal, Muyuan cooperated with Westlake University to produce amino acids usingsynthetic biology. In 2024, the first industrialized project of Muyuan's laboratory was put into operation:
the Muyuan Anliang project, with an annual output of 30,000 tonnes of synthetic biological products. Goingforward, Muyuan will continue to promote low-soy diet technologies. At full industry-scale application, it couldsave 20 million tonnes of soybeans annually, reduce the need for 150 million mu of arable land(approximately10 million hectares), cut nitrogen emissions by 820 thousand tonnes, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions by
1.5932 million tonnes of CO
e.
In 2021, Muyuan publicly released its low-soy diet technology. The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairspromoted it as a model case across the industry, driving reductions in soybean meal usage and nitrogenemissions. As a result, the industry average soybean meal content in pig feed decreased from 15.3% in 2021 to13% in 2023. Over two years, this saved a total of 8.65 million tonnes of soybeans, contributing to food security,while reducing nitrogen emissions by 360 thousand tonnes and greenhouse gas emissions by 699.4 thousandtonnes of CO

Methane is a potent greenhouse gas, with a global warming potential (GWP) 28–34 times that of carbon dioxideover a 100-year timescale. In livestock farming, ruminants such as cattle and sheep produce large amountsof methane during the digestion process, which is primarily emitted through burping and farting. Methaneemissions from pigs are signi? cantly lower due to their digestive processes. However, manure managementremains a major source of methane, generated mainly through anaerobic decomposition.To reduce methane emissions, since 2016 Muyuan has adopted a process involving dry manure cleaning –enclosed transportation – solid-liquid separation – aerobic composting – anaerobic digestion and sealedstorage. Manure is transported in a fully enclosed system from pig houses to downstream treatmentfacilities. The biogas generated from anaerobic digestion is reused, reducing fugitive methane emissions andcontributing to greenhouse gas mitigation.

Eight Safety Philosophies
Safety is the outcome. All safety incidents can be prevented, and all hazards can be controlled.Safety stems from design, quality, accountability, and competence.Zero tolerance for all violations of safety rules and regulations.Managers at all levels are directly responsible for safety within their business scope.Safety requires the participation of all employees and must be managed comprehensively throughout the entireprocess and in all aspects.All employees must complete safety training before starting work.Managers at all levels must carry out safety inspections, and any identi?ed hazard must be promptly recti?ed.All incidents require immediate reporting, analysis, and resolution.Safety Management SystemMuyuan has established a three-tier safety management structure spanning headquarters–regional–subsidiarylevels. The Board of Directors directly oversees major safety-related decisions and receives reports fromthe Headquarters Safety Production Committee. At the regional and subsidiary levels, Safety ProductionCommittees are set up accordingly. At the same time, Muyuan has built the Safe Muyuan co-governanceplatform, enabling all employees to report hazards in real time, track rectification progress, and submitsuggestions, thereby realizing a closed-loop system of decision-making, execution, supervision, and feedbackfor multidimensional risk prevention and control.Muyuan ties executive KPIs to EHS Indexs, while advancing its 'Safety Ownership by All' initiative. The Companystrictly implements the System Linking Safety Performance and Compensation and Hazard ClassificationAssessment Standards. Safety Production Committees at all levels are responsible for analyzing the safetysituation, reviewing annual safety plans, inspecting the progress of safety work, reporting to the Board ofDirectors, and implementing the risk classi?cation control and hazard identi?cation & recti?cation mechanismsto ensure dynamic elimination of risks and hazards.

Safety Risk ManagementRisk Prevention and Identi? cationMuyuan strengthens risk prevention by building a "dual-control mechanism," which involves both safety riskclassi? cation control and hazard identi? cation and recti? cation. Regular special safety inspections are carriedout, safety manuals are formulated, and weak links in safety risks are assessed and eliminated. The SafetyRisk Team developed a Hazard Mapping System (e.g., color-coded risk zones for di? erent worksites) to ensurecomprehensive control of hazardous operations, including approval, supervision, and video monitoring,ensuring full-cycle safety management for contractors and focusing on risks such as extreme weather.Muyuan attaches great importance to safety conditions before the commissioning of new projects andadopts a joint acceptance approach to conduct comprehensive inspections and evaluations, identifyingand preventing potential safety risks in a timely manner. This ensures compliance with industry standardsand legal regulations. Meanwhile, Muyuan provides employees with personal protective equipment (PPE) toensure occupational safety, identi? es risks in con? ned space operations, issues the Con? ned Space OperationsManagement System, implements technical modifications, upgrades protective measures, and continuouslyreduces safety risks to improve safety performance.Muyuan has established a electrical safety cloud-based monitoring platform and uses an electrical safetymonitoring and early warning system powered by IoT technology to conduct uninterrupted big data analysisand AI calculation on key fire risk factors (such as wire temperature, current, voltage, and leakage current).This system can identify potential electrical hazards in real time (such as abnormal cable temperatures, shortcircuits, overloads, overvoltage, undervoltage, and leakage), and helps locate and address on-site powerfailures. Currently, the Company has installed 13,869 electrical monitoring devices, achieving 98% coverageacross all facilities, e? ectively preventing electrical ? res.Emergency Safety ManagementMuyuan has established an emergency managementframework for safety and formulated variouscontingency plans, including the Contingency Planfor Water Supply Disruptions, Emergency Plan forFires in Multi-Storey Pig Houses, and EmergencyPower Outage Plan.

Prior to stunning, pigs undergo CO
stunning in groups, which significantly reduces stress. The stunning isconducted using 75–80% CO
concentration, with 6–8 pigs processed per batch, ensuring no convulsionsor vocalizations occur before or during exsanguination. This humane slaughter method ensures that pigsexperience no stress responses or pain.
Swine Slaughter (CO
Stunning)
Pigs do not regain consciousness between stunning and bleeding, and show nosigni? cant reactions post-bleeding, avoiding fright caused by tying, fear, or discomfort.E? ectivenessAssessment:
Prior to CO
stunning, the condition of pigs is assessed. We commit not to apply CO
stunning to pigs with metabolic disorders.ApplicabilityAssessment:
Pigs are given enrichment materials (e.g., straw, chew toys) to encourage species-specific behaviors likerooting, chewing, and exploring. Pens are kept stable with no group mixing, allowing pigs to live with familiarcompanions and satisfy social needs.
Social Needs of Pigs
Alignment with Pig Behavioral HabitsMuyuan promotes animal welfare through environmental design and behavioral guidance, respecting pigs'natural habits and treating them kindly. We commit not to introduce breeds with traits that exacerbateanatomical or metabolic disorders.

number1052Note 1: The 2024 statistics for GHG emissions cover all operational points and employ a methodology that di?ers from that used in 2023.The main reasons for these di?erences are as follows:(1)The accounting standards have been updated, with an expanded scope andboundaries, incorporating emissions from additional links such as the production and transportation of agricultural inputs and thecultivation of feed raw materials;(2) The selection of emission factors has been updated from the 2006 IPCC Guidelines for NationalGreenhouse Gas Inventories to the Greenhouse Gas Product Carbon Footprint Quanti?cation Methods and Requirements for LivestockProducts and the 2019 Re?nement to the 2006 IPCC Guidelines for National Greenhouse Gas Inventories;(3) The electricity emissionfactor reference has changed from provincial average CO
emission factors to the national average electricity carbon footprint factor of
0.6205.
Note 2: The GHG Emission Reduction Value refers to the amount of emissions avoided at the source by the company through initiativessuch as promoting low-soybean feed, pig house heating without fuel burning, and photovoltaic power generation, combined with thecomprehensive emission reduction contributions from technologies like biogas utilization and energy-saving measures.Note 3: The data statistics for Total Water Withdrawal, Total Water Discharged, and Total Water Consumption cover all operational points;Total Water Consumption = Total Water Withdrawal + Wastewater Reused.
