Chairman’s Message

In 2023, the global energy transition has continued to progress steadily. While actively stabilizing the energy supply, the oil and gas industry has persistently pursued green development, recognizing the vast opportunities that lie ahead. Anton has always championed the vision of becoming a model of efficient and harmonious development for both humanity and the environment. Collaborating with industry peers who share our ecological aspirations, we have tirelessly pursued innovationdriven technological breakthroughs. These efforts contribute to the efficient development of gas and oil resources, as well as our commitment to increasing production and reducing costs. While safeguarding the security and stability of the energy industrial and supply chains, Anton has also taken concrete actions to promote green and low-carbon transitions, thereby fostering the sustainable development of the industry.

 In our commitment to environmental protection, we have remained dedicated to the goal of peaking carbon emissions and achieving carbon neutrality, with a focus on conserving natural ecosystems. In FY2023, aligned with our quantitative emission reduction targets, we achieved the following milestones. First, continued implementing the 20 "energy efficiency enhancement" plans and measures. These initiatives, promoting clean energy utilization and technological innovation alongside highly efficient operations, resulted in a reduction of 35,538.67 tons of CO2 e in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Our GHG emissions per revenue decreased by 2.7% year-on-year, basically meeting our annual emission reduction objective. Second, we remained committed to facilitating the industry's green transition, assisting our clients in reducing GHG emissions by 19,972.43 tons of CO2 e. We achieved this through the adoption of various measures such as precise engineering technology, visualized and data-based monitoring, and distributed CCUS services. Third, adhering to the philosophy of green development, we intensified our emission management efforts. We embedded resource and energy conservation into every aspect of our production and operation, resulting in reduced electricity consumption per revenue and raw material consumption per revenue compared to FY2022. Fourth, we introduced eight major solutions to promote the sustainable development of the oil and gas industry. These solutions encompass oil and gas development overall solutions, production and efficiency enhancement research and optimization solutions, oil and gas development visualization and data monitoring solutions, oil and gas well precision engineering technology solutions, oil and gas development quality and safety inspection solutions, oil and gas development artificial intelligence solutions, oil and gas development asset leasing solutions, and oil and gas development external resource platform service solutions. These solutions align with industry trends and facilitate industry transformation and sustainable development.

 

 In our endeavor to promote social progress, we have collaborated with partners from various sectors to pursue co-creation and shared development. Throughout FY 2023, we achieved the following milestones. First, we generated a significant number of new jobs and expanded our recruitment efforts, evident in our employee count reaching 6,510 by FY 2023, a year-on-year increase of 681. We prioritized globalization and diversity in talent recruitment, fostering an equal and inclusive work environment while placing significant emphasis on talent training and development. We provided diverse online courses for our employees, with an average attendance of 185.2 hours per employee throughout the year. These free courses are available on Anton's selfdeveloped media platform, Oil Mates, benefiting the entire industry. Second, we adhered to a strategy of data-driven, digitized, and technology-enabled development to propel digitization and the application of intelligent technology. To achieve this, we established six major platforms for digital and intelligent technology-driven product development, business operations, and management. Our specialized technologies also won wide recognition across society. In FY 2023, the Anton Oil Science and Technology Association was officially set up, and Anton was one of the 2023 National SRDI "Little Giant" Enterprises. Thirdly, we integrated the principle of "customer centricity" into our operations and services management, prioritizing high-quality operations and service delivery. In FY 2023, we earned numerous QHSE-related titles, including the "High-quality Oilfield Contractor," and received 155 letters of commendation from clients, highlighting our industry-leading customer satisfaction. Fourth, we continued to optimize our supplier management system, integrating ESG factors such as environmental and social considerations into the supplier management process to advance mutual progress with our suppliers and partners. Fifth, we fulfilled our responsibilities as a global enterprise by organizing public welfare activities, and contributing to community development and social progress in the regions where we operate. In FY 2023, we maintained our status as the "Top 100 Private Enterprises in Social Responsibility" and received other prestigious awards in recognition of our efforts.

 

In our pursuit of upgrading management and governance, we have remained steadfast in our commitment to integrity in operations, striving to achieve the Company’s sustainable development. Throughout FY2023, we refined the Company’s governance system with a focus on ensuring law-based and compliant operations, as well as enhancing risk control and management. We upheld strict adherence to business ethics. Internally, we launched the “Sunshine Marketing” campaign and conducted self-examinations and self-corrections to combat business bribery, fostering a just, equitable, and clean working environment. Concurrently, we dedicated significant efforts to integrate the concept of ESG into our operations, strengthening communications and engagements with various stakeholders. Through industry benchmarking, expert assessments, and stakeholder questionnaires, we identified our material ESG issues to further progress and continuously improve our ESG management practices.

 

There is no easy path to the summit, only those with determination can reach it. In FY2024, we will remain steadfast in our
commitment to the path of sustainable development, exerting efforts to enhance our AI capacity and fully promote intelligent
technology-driven development. Collaborating with partners from all sectors, we will co-create and share development results,
thereby contributing to the green transition of the industry and the sustainable development of the world.
