This document discusses using data and technology to improve business and supply chain resilience in China. It describes how companies can use environmental data and monitoring to conduct risk screening of suppliers and operations. This allows companies to identify which entities may face issues like relocation or closure due to changing policies. Companies can then take proactive steps to mitigate risks and ensure the resilience of their business operations and supply chains. The document also introduces Greenment, a Chinese environmental consulting firm that has developed proprietary databases and technology to help companies with these types of data-driven risk assessments and dynamic risk management.

8. The Key Message:
These initiatives are triggered by various factors,
pressuring different government departments and
regional governments to act on a variety of goals,
sometimes confusing and conflicting, but most
importantly, very dynamic and
maturing into real-time policy implementation

9. “understand the importance of rectifying and upgrading the chemical industry from the perspective of
implementing new development concepts”
“taking into account the safety and environmental protection, the relationship between rectification and
industrial transformation, truly jumping out of the "path dependence" of development that is inconsistent with
new ideas, getting rid of the "low-end lock" of high-quality and unsuitable industries”
“Enterprises and parks that do not meet the safety production standards must be closed. Enterprises and parks
that fail to meet environmental standards must be shut down, and low-end enterprises must be eliminated.“
The meeting emphasized that the purpose of rectification is to upgrade .
Enterprises that meet the standards and positively improve their integrity should take the initiative to form a
consensus on rectification and improve the development of enterprises. Enthusiasm.

16. The Key Message:
Data allows you to foresee which of your operations
or suppliers may get hit, why they may get hit,
whether you can do something about it, and if yes,
what you can do about it to ensure resilience of your
business. If not, you will know earlier that you will
have to find alternatives.
