The health and safety of our workers is the top priority of the Company. We have established a health and safety management system that covers all employees of the Company and enterprises within our supply chain. We attach great importance to production safety, continue to improve labour conditions, improve the physical and mental well-being of our employees, in order to ensure the continuous enhancement of corporate health and safety management levels.
HSE Management System
Our Company pursues the goal of "zero accident, zero pollution, zero harm" and always regards HSE as a fundamental requirement for successful business development. We implemented a uniform HSE management system in our Company, establishing a unified HSE management framework and policy system across our domestic and international operations. Adhering to our green development concept of "integration and coordination between development activities and environmental protection, giving priority to environmental protection", we continuously strengthen our supervision and strengthen our safety training, and strive to improve our HSE management performance.
The Company attaches great importance to the establishment of an HSE management system. We lead China's petroleum industry in publishing and implementing an HSE management system standard specific to China's petroleum industry (Q/SY08002.1, 08002.2, 08002.3), which fully covers all the requirements of the Environmental Management System (ISO14001) and Occupational Health and Safety Management System (ISO45001) in all technical aspects. All subsidiaries of the Company have implemented the HSE management system based on these standards. As a result, the Company has developed a comprehensive and effective set of HSE management system documents, and implemented a HSE management system covering all employees (including temporary workers) and contractors.
The Company prioritizes actions to safeguard health and safety, establishes quantifiable targets, and annually assesses progress against these objectives. We are committed to strengthening the implementation of the HSE management system at the grassroots level, launching initiatives to promote HSE standardization among front-line teams. Focusing on standardized management, operations, and on-site practices, we advanced the "Hundred-Thousand Demonstration Project" for HSE standardization at the grassroots level, nurturing and recognizing outstanding teams as role models, showcasing best practices, and promoting replication across the Company. We also promoted the use of HSE responsibility checklists and HSE risk checklists for front-line positions. These lists strengthen targeted training and practical application, and drive employees to fulfill responsibilities, identify risks, and follow standardized procedures based on the checklists, continuously enhance employees' ability to execute safety, and environmental responsibilities, enhance operational discipline, and ensure precise risk prevention and control.
Upholding the audit principles of "integration, specialisation, and differentiation", the Company strengthened its audit team and standardised the audit document templates. We conducted quality assessments in a tiered and categorised approach, with tailored plans for each enterprise, and advanced with steady progress. We completed the annual comprehensive audit work on major production enterprises, focusing on risk prevention and control as well as the fulfilment of responsibilities. We also enforced stricter supervision of the audit process to ensure its accuracy and effectiveness. In this way, we continued to maintain full coverage, strict regulatory, and zero-tolerance approach to continuously enhance HSE performance.
The Company implemented the Guiding Opinions on Optimising and Enhancing HSE Training to provide experimental training on job safety skills and increase the assessment weight of practical operation. We updated the HSE training curriculum for key job positions such as contractors, overseas workers, and full-time safety supervisors, updated the question bank for job assessments, optimised the evaluation methods, and provided specialised training for safety directors at our regional enterprises.
Occupational Health of Employees

Occupational Health
The Company continued to standardize its occupational health management. We regularly consult with employee representatives at union meetings on the formulation and revision of occupational health and safety policies, while the Board's Sustainable Development Committee reviews thereport on health, safety, and environmental protection. To safeguard the quality of occupational health examinations, we issued the Management Standards for the Qualification Verification of Occupational Health Examination Institutions, which clarified requirements for institutional qualifications, allocation of medical professionals, and the configuration of examination equipment. Regional companies are required to adopt strict criteria when selecting occupational health examination providers. We also established investigation procedures for diseases, occupational health and safety incidents, and work-related injuries, and developed the Healthy Corporate Development and Improvement Plan. This includes tiered management of occupational disease prevention facilities based on the "Three Simultaneous" requirements (design, construction, and implementation), workplace monitoring of occupational hazards, and supervision of health examinations for employees exposed to risks. We Promptly rectified the identified issues and hazards, ensured that regional companies assume full responsibilities for occupational disease prevention and control, and prevent occupational hazards at their source.
Mental Health
We pay close attention to the mental health of our employees and have incorporated mental wellbeing into our overall plan for building a healthy enterprise. A psychological counselling hotline and website have been set up, and various mental health awareness and training programmes have been carried out, in order to guide employees in developing a positive and healthy mindset.
Employee Safety
The concept of production safety is incorporated across all aspects and processes of our production and operations, integrating the safety of our contractors' employees within the management scope. By continuously improving our safety management system, comprehensively strengthening our management and supervision, and enhancing our security measures, we ensure the safety and health of all employees.
Strengthening Safety Management
In 2024, we further advanced the establishment of this system by issuing regulations such as the Management Measures for Contractor Safety Supervision, the Management Measures for Safety and Environment Hazard Inspection, Treatment, and Supervision, the Advanced Selection Criteria for Quality, Health and Safety, Environmental Protection, and Energy Conservation, and the Management Measures for Marine Oil Safety Production and Environmental Protection. These enable us to improve our dual prevention mechanism for production safety risk prevention and control as well as accident and hazard inspection and treatment, establish stricter safety and environmental protection assessment criteria, require our subsidiaries to sign safety and environmental protection liability statements, strengthen the assessment of safety and environmental protection processes, and reinforce the implementation of safety production responsibilities.

We have further strengthened our emergency management for security incidents by regularly conducting emergency drills, and strengthening security publicity, education and training. We have improved our standardised training system for security knowledge and professional skills and established and improved a joint meeting mechanism that includes all regions, provinces and cities in China to adopt a better approach to security management, with joint prevention, coordinated response, and collaborative management. Furthermore, we have improved the security management system for our domestic operations by revising and implementing the Design Guidelines for the Security Management System Framework (Domestic Businesses Version 2.0) and continuing to incorporate security risk management and control measures into relevant production and business management processes in an organic manner. We also strengthened the monitoring of system operations, and, through the PDCA cycle, continuously enhanced the suitability, adequacy, and the effectiveness of the system, systematically improving our ability to prevent, control, and manage risks.
