"As an industrial internet enterprise serving group industries and external value empowerment, Gechuang's energy dual-carbon product line includes three core applications: Energy Management EMS, Carbon Management CMS, and Environmental Health Management EHS, corresponding to energy saving, low/zero carbon, and sustainable development concepts."

-- Wang Hui, General Manager of Gechuang East Wisdom Smart Energy Business Department

June 15 is National Low Carbon Day, with this year's theme on implementing 'dual-carbon' action and building a beautiful home. Under China's 'dual-carbon' (carbon peak, neutrality) strategy, green development is a key modernization goal, and green operation is essential for businesses. As a globally competitive tech group, TCL, via TCL Tech and TCL Industries, focuses on semiconductor display, new energy光伏, and smart terminals. In 2021, TCL Group revenue hit 252.3 billion yuan, reaching Fortune Global 500 scale.

While growing strength, TCL accelerates green转型, seizing opportunities. With 'ecological priority, green development'理念, TCL drives innovation in clean production and green equipment, launching lower-energy products and reducing environmental impact.

01

Technological Innovation Creating Green Products

TCL CSOT's FHD display achieves 5.6% high transmittance with large aperture and glass gap tech, reducing energy use by 45% vs peers. It passed U.S. DOE and EPA Energy Star ES8.0 certification in 2020.

Multi-party Effort Building Green Ecology

"Dual-carbon goals need entire industrial chain联动, forming systematic green development."

In 2021, TCL CSOT released碳达峰-碳中和 plan to improve green procurement and partner action, integrating industry with carbon neutrality. TCL Tech uses green finance to boost chain sustainability. In Nov 2021, launched first 'green carbon chain' business based on low-carbon evaluation, saving costs and motivating emission cuts.
