Grasping the dual strategic opportunities of green digitalization, and the smart green energy system enables the transformation of manufacturing industry! Recently, the 2022 APEC Business Leaders China Forum was held in Beijing with the theme of "Towards a Green Economy". With its high-quality practice in digital transformation and green development, Midea Group was successfully selected as the annual industrial case of "China Sustainable Industrial Development Action".

At present, tackling climate change and promoting sustainable development have become a universal consensus and urgent task in the world. It is reported that the "China Sustainable Industrial Development Action" was jointly sponsored by the APEC China Business Council and the International Cooperation Center of the National Development and Reform Commission, aiming at extracting suggestions and measures for the sustainable development of China's industries by excavating and analyzing outstanding enterprise practice cases.

All along, Midea Group adheres to the concept of "creating a better life for mankind", takes "perfect technology, perfect life" as its vision, adheres to integrity, responsibility, health and scientific development, integrates the concept of sustainable development into every link of enterprise production and operation, and is committed to creating shared value with stakeholders.

At present, Midea Group is building an "industrial Internet + Green" factory in an all-round way, and green production solutions are of far-reaching significance to the transformation of green manufacturing. Midea Group has upgraded the energy efficiency management of more than 30 factories with digital technology, making all aspects of production transparent, visual and controllable, and reducing the power consumption of a single unit by 15%, which is equivalent to saving 21000 kilowatt H of electricity per day. At the same time, Midea has built its own FEMS energy management system, pulled through the production scheduling system APS, manufacturing execution system MES and equipment management system EAM within the group, and accurately calculated and analyzed the energy consumption of each product on each production line through the data collection of SCADA industrial intelligent platform, so as to produce more high-quality products with the lowest energy consumption emissions.

In addition, Midea Group continues to promote the use of clean energy. At present, more than 20 factories and R&D innovation centers have built photovoltaic power generation projects. At present, the installed capacity has exceeded 160MW, and the installed capacity of distributed photovoltaic projects under construction has exceeded 80MW. In 2021, the average proportion of clean energy use in the group reached more than 10%, and plans to introduce more clean energy to further increase the proportion.

Midea is committed to integrating the concept of green environmental protection into every link of the group's production and operation. In 2021, in order to actively respond to the national "double carbon" strategy, Midea Group issued the "green strategy" and formulated the group's carbon peaking and carbon neutrality goals, making continuous efforts to ultimately realize the vision of "building a green and beautiful home together". Recently, the group obtained the world's first R454B new refrigerant high-efficiency product certification, which has become another milestone achievement of the group in implementing the green strategy.

It is noteworthy that, under the traction of the green strategy, the factories of various business departments are vigorously carrying out green low-carbon transformation, actively implementing "green design, green procurement, green manufacturing, green logistics, green recycling, green services", vigorously developing circular economy, strengthening green supply support, and promoting the ecological chain to peak and reduce carbon as soon as possible.

Up to now, Midea Group has been awarded the title of national green factory, national green supply chain management demonstration enterprise and industrial product green design demonstration enterprise, and many products have been selected into the national energy efficiency "leader" and the "energy efficiency star" product catalogue of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology.

While doing well in its own green manufacturing, Midea Group actively exerts its industry-leading demonstration value, vigorously builds a global green low-carbon supply chain system, gives priority to bringing green factories into qualified suppliers, purchases green products, carries out carbon reduction empowerment for upstream and downstream enterprises, and promotes the green coordinated development of the industrial chain. At the same time, the group is cooperating with the world's leading partners in iron and steel, non-ferrous metals, petrochemical and other industries to carry out carbon investigation, carbon footprint calculation, green strategy exchange learning and in-depth strategic cooperation, and set up a joint laboratory to tackle key problems of energy saving, emission reduction and carbon reduction, so as to provide scientific research guarantee for the realization of green manufacturing.

Facing the future, Media Group will actively implement the concept of green sustainable development, continuously develop and upgrade green energy-efficient products, satisfy every user's pursuit of a better, comfortable and intelligent low-carbon life, play an exemplary role in promoting the development of green low-carbon transformation, and form green production solutions to drive the industrial chain to green. It will contribute to the "carbon peaking and carbon neutrality" of China and even the whole world.

紧抓数字化、绿色化双重战略机遇，智慧绿色能源体系赋能制造业转型！近日，以“走向绿色经济”为主题的2022年APEC工商领导人中国论坛在北京举办。美的集团凭借在数字化转型和绿色发展的高质量实践，成功入选“可持续中国产业发展行动”年度产业案例。

当前，应对气候变化和促进可持续发展已成为全球普遍共识与迫切任务。据悉，“可持续中国产业发展行动”由APEC中国工商理事会和国家发改委国际合作中心联合发起，旨在通过挖掘和剖析优秀企业实践案例，提炼出适用中国产业可持续发展的建议举措。

一直以来，美的集团秉持“为人类创造美好生活”的理念，以“科技尽善，生活尽美”为愿景，坚持诚信、责任、健康、科学发展，将可持续发展理念融入企业生产经营的每一个环节，致力于携手利益相关方创造共享价值。

当前，美的正全面打造“工业互联网+绿色”工厂，绿色生产解决方案对绿色制造转型意义深远。美的以数字技术对近30多家家工厂能效管理改造升级，拉通生产各环节全程透明化、可视化、可控化，实现单台生产电能降低15%，相当于每天节省2.1万度电。同时，美的自建FEMS能源管理系统，拉通集团内的排产系统APS，制造执行系统MES，设备管理系统EAM，通过SCADA工业智联平台的数据采集，精准的计算分析出每个产品在每条产线上的单台能耗，以最低的能耗排放生产出更多的优质产品。

此外，美的集团持续推进清洁能源的使用，目前超过20家工厂及研发创新中心都建设了光伏发电项目，目前已完成装机容量超160MW，在建分布式光伏项目装机容量超过80MW。2021年，美的清洁能源使用占比平均值达到10%以上，并计划引入更多清洁能源，进一步提高占比。

美的致力于将绿色环保的理念融入集团生产经营的每一个环节。2021年，为积极响应国家“双碳”战略，美的集团发布了“绿色战略”，同时制定了集团碳达峰、碳中和目标，为最终实现“共建绿色美好家园”的愿景不断努力。日前，美的获得了全球首个R454B新冷媒高效产品认证，成为美的集团践行绿色战略的又一个里程碑式成果。

值得关注的是，在绿色战略的牵引下，各事业部工厂正大力开展绿色低碳转型，积极落实“绿色设计、绿色采购、绿色制造、绿色物流、绿色回收、绿色服务”，大力发展循环经济，强化绿色供给支撑，推动生态链尽快达峰和降碳。
