The need to strengthen ecological and environmental protection becomes deeply rooted in the hearts of the Chinese citizens. The era of mandatory classification of garbage is approaching. Although the novel coronavirus epidemic is a disaster to mankind, it will drive the country to pay more attention to ecological and environmental protection, putting more emphasis on preparing to fight a battle against pollution so that it can continuously foster the quality of the ecological environment improvement and accelerate the effort to make up the deficiency in collection and treatment facilities for medical waste and hazardous waste. As it can be foreseen, the future of environmental protection industry is still in a stage of major development opportunities. Therefore, the Group should seize every policy opportunity and continue to enhance its own capabilities by optimizing its investment, construction, operation, and technological management system while leveraging the industry trends and exploiting its advantages to overcome various shortcomings in a bid to strive to maintain a winning position in the fierce market competition. In 2020, the Group will strive to excel in the following focus areas: Enhancement of the regulated governance standard.
