Recently, the Third China-EU Corporate ESG Best Practices Conference was held in Mainz, Germany, with over 500 representatives from the political, business, academic and professional services sectors of China and the EU in attendance. HiTHIUM won the Best Practice Award in the "Social Responsibility" category for its ESG case study titled "Let Green Energy Benefit All".
At the opening ceremony, Huang Yiyang, Chinese Consul General in Frankfurt, attended and delivered a keynote address, emphasizing that "clear waters and lush mountains are by no means an either-or choice, but rather a mandatory goal that can be achieved alongside economic prosperity".

The competition attracted more than 140 case studies from over 100 Chinese and European companies, with only 24 companies ultimately receiving awards; of which the Best Case Award in the "Social Responsibility" category was awarded to only two companies—Sinopec and HiTHIUM.
This year's competition was judged by a six-member expert panel comprising representatives from authoritative institutions in both China and Germany. The panel was chaired by Huang Yiyang, Chinese Consul General in Frankfurt, and its members included representatives from authoritative institutions such as TÜV Rheinland, the Beijing ESG Research Institute, Xinhua News Agency, KPMG Germany and Nanjing University. The jury noted that HiTHIUM "addresses the core issue of global energy poverty with residential energy storage solutions that offer exceptional value for money, demonstrating the sense of responsibility of China's new energy enterprises".

Currently, global inequality in energy access remains pronounced. According to the World Bank's Modern Energy Access Framework, energy accessibility is categorized into five levels, ranging from a complete lack of electricity services (Level 0) to the ability to use stable lighting and medium-power appliances (Level 5). Among these, Level 3 is considered the minimum standard for escaping energy poverty, corresponding to a household's ability to use lighting and basic appliances for approximately 8 hours per day. However, approximately 732 million people worldwide still fall short of this standard, relying primarily on unreliable public electricity or high-cost diesel-powered generators.
Facing this global challenge, HiTHIUM has adopted "enabling more people to afford reliable, sustainable modern energy services" as its long-term mission. Leveraging new energy storage technologies, the company is committed to making green energy more inclusive, efficient and sustainable.
HiTHIUM HIMPACT Strategy and Key Achievements
To address the challenges of insufficient and unstable access to electricity in energy-poor regions, HiTHIUM's energy equity solution—the HeroEE series—provides affordable, reliable and sustainable energy services, helping residents maintain stable access to lighting and basic appliances.
As a key birthplace of China's energy storage industry, Xiamen has established itself as a leading hub with an industry value exceeding 100 billion yuan, forming a complete industrial chain ecosystem spanning materials, battery cells, systems and applications. Building on this foundation, HiTHIUM will continue to expand its global footprint and promote the implementation of green energy solutions in more countries and regions.

The company actively participates in domestic and international conferences and exchange platforms related to energy, investment and sustainable development. By sharing practical case studies, ESG governance experiences and technical solutions, it supports the green energy transition in "Belt and Road" countries and regions. Looking ahead, HiTHIUM will continue to focus on the energy storage sector, adhere to the principles of sustainable development, and accelerate the large-scale adoption of long-duration energy storage, making green energy more accessible, inclusive and sustainable.
