Since the beginning of this year, there have been some regrettable accidents in the chemical industry, which have aroused widespread concern in society. The particularity of its industrial characteristics determines the severity of its accidents, and production safety has always been the top priority of chemical development. At Huntsman, safety has always been our top priority in production. We have the most complete safety mechanism and practically implement every safety management measure in actual operations. We believe that safety is the primary prerequisite for good business operations and sustainable development.

Safety is the cornerstone of enterprise development, and sustainable development is the future of the enterprise. After decades of rapid development, China's chemical industry has reached a level that can affect the global chemical industry. At this stage, the strategic direction of the entire industry has begun to shift to sustainable development. In recent years, the strengthening of government environmental protection policies and supervision is obvious to all, and environmentally friendly development has increasingly become the consensus of the entire industry chain.

Sustainable development is accelerating the century-old plan of social and industrial progress. For the textile dyeing and chemical industry, green and environmental protection are the general trend. The textile industry, especially the textile printing and dyeing industry, as a key target of environmental protection in my country, is under considerable pressure. But at the same time, this pressure also brings opportunities-the textile industry should use this opportunity to introduce more innovative and sustainable solutions in order to conform to the mainstream trend of sustainable development and meet the needs of the market and consumers.

Huntsman Textile Dyeing & Chemical has 4 R&D centers around the world, one of which is located in Panyu, Guangzhou. The company also has 3 technical laboratories in China, located in Shanghai, Panyu and Qingdao, aiming to serve the Chinese market more deeply. Through powerful technological innovation resources, Huntsman Textile Dyeing and Chemical has launched a series of products that meet the goals of sustainable development, such as AVITERA SE reactive dye series, High IQ Repel intelligent durable water repellent series, ERIOFAST reactive dye series, TERASIL W/WW High washing dye series, NOVACRON XKS HL printing ink series, etc. These water-saving, energy-saving, and environmentally friendly solutions can meet the needs of sustainable development in many ways. We constantly improve product design in research and development, greatly reduce the energy and water resources consumed in the production process, and reduce the impact on the environment; the products we provide not only fully comply with China's environmental protection requirements, but also help downstream companies significantly reduce energy consumption , And improve production efficiency; on the consumer side, for example, our non-iron and anti-wrinkle finishing agent can help consumers reduce the number of ironing garments, and can maintain their clothes in the best condition without care.

Achieving a better and more sustainable development of the textile industry requires the concerted efforts of the government and the industry. This may be like a long-distance race with no end. We need to constantly break through the existing achievements and standards, and move towards a safer and more environmentally friendly goal. Stop and go. Only by actively changing the development strategy and taking up the responsibilities that should be borne can the entire industry achieve more sustainable development.
