Over more than two decades of operational experience, Huayou Cobalt recognizes the significance of sustainable development not only as a direction for the new energy and materials industry but also as a crucial path to address the global energy structural transformation and climate change risks.  Grounded in our industry nature and pursued objectives, we uphold the notion of creating value for all partners and human societal development. Simultaneously, we aim to enhance our Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) management to elevate our business's ESG performance.

ESG Policy of Zhejiang Huayou Cobalt Co.,Ltd..pdf

As a crucial stakeholder in the business environment, communities and businesses share a natural connection. A company's development must be founded on interaction and collaboration with the communities in which it operates. A thriving community environment is of paramount importance for a company's survival and growth. By offering support and assistance to the community and fostering a close "partnership" with it, a company can enhance cohesion and interaction, thereby driving community development.

Since 2016, Huayou has openly and transparently discussed and took measures on the challenges of child labour in cobalt procurement in the DRC. Meanwhile, according to the UN, OECD and CCCMC's responsible supply chain management guide, we have established and operated the  first responsible cobalt supply chain due diligence system based on the six-step framework in the whole industry.
