Environmental problems are seriously threatening the survival of humanity and arousing global concern.
The local government in Kerala, India, ordered the closure of the Coca-Cola bottling plant for two years because it consumed too much water;
Fish in the world's oceans are about to be caught, leaving Unilever's frozen fish block business in a supply crisis;
Since the 1950s, premiums from extreme natural disasters have increased more than 10 times ...
ESG indicators came into being, and many companies began to pay attention to ESG construction and management, especially technology companies.
Some of them use AI algorithms to find lost children, some combine their own platform advantages to help farmers, get rid of poverty, fight against the epidemic, some develop green finance, and some build green supply chains. Invariably, these companies are actively engaged in the construction of ESG in combination with the advantages of their own business or platform.
Based on this, Leifeng network sorted out and talked with some Chinese technology companies that are at the forefront of ESG, trying to outline their positive actions under the ESG blueprint.

Baidu: Using AI to find lost children,
Combat wildlife trafficking
In 2016, Baidu launched the "AI Search Project".
In the project, Baidu accessed authoritative data from platforms such as the Ministry of Civil Affairs, Baby Homecoming, and the Anti-Cult Network to help lost people, family seekers, public welfare organizations, and volunteers find their relatives.
In the search for relatives, AI shows great ability.
Many children have gone missing at an early age, and decades later, their faces have changed dramatically. However, AI can identify two photos of faces traveling through time and space through the comparison of key features, and determine that they belong to the same person.
Take the "Liu Hongjiang Incident" as an example: in 1999, Liu Hongjiang, who was only 4 years old, was abducted in his hometown of Guiyang, and his parents searched for their children for many years without finding anything. In 2012, his parents uploaded a 4-year-old photo of Liu Hongjiang to the baby home database; in 2019, Wu Junfa, a 24-year-old young man from Fujian, also uploaded his own photo to this database in order to find a home. Baidu's AI search platform shows that the similarity of the two photos is extremely high. In the end, Wu Junfa found that he was the "Liu Hongjiang" that his biological parents had been looking for.
Baidu official data shows that more than 330,000 baby volunteers go home every day, using this platform to assist in family searching. Up to now, the "Baidu AI Search" platform photo comparison has been launched more than 400,000 times, and more than 10,000 successful cases of family matching have been carried out.
In addition, on World Earth Day on April 22, 2020, Baidu also cooperated with IFAW (International Fund for Animal Welfare) to release the "Endangered Species AI Guardian Officer" platform based on AI image recognition technology.
On this platform, AI can identify elephant, tiger, and pangolin species. The recognition accuracy rate has reached about 75%.
According to the data, the "Endangered Species AI Guardian Officer" has so far assisted in screening nearly 250,000 picture information, accurately identified 3518 pictures of target wildlife products, and traced back to 831 illegal trade advertisements.
It can be seen that the addition of AI has improved the operational efficiency of public welfare charities, reduced the management costs of the entire charity industry, and also enhanced the public's trust in the charity industry.
In the future, "new technology with AI as the core" will become the focus of Baidu's efforts in the field of public welfare.

Tencent: hard containment soft care,
Soft and hard at the same time to build an uninsured system
Tencent combines hard and soft methods to improve and upgrade the juvenile protection system through various methods.
In terms of hard means, since 2017, Tencent has begun to establish a juvenile protection system, launching solutions such as growth guardian platforms and health systems, and establishing a protection system covering "before-in-the-fact-after" for minors' healthy access to the Internet.
In 2018, Tencent's juvenile protection system entered the 2.0 stage, accessed the public security authoritative data platform verification, implemented the access mechanism of compulsory real-name registration, and actively upgraded the health system in accordance with the requirements of the Notice on Preventing Minors from Addicting to Online Games at the end of 2019, and implemented measures such as duration restrictions and recharge limits for users registered as minors.
At present, Tencent has fully implemented the games it operates, and more than 210 mobile games, terminal games and page games have been landed. At the same time, we will explore the application of face recognition technology, and through technical means such as AI and machine learning, determine the characteristics of user game behavior, and establish and optimize the data pool of "adult accounts suspected of being operated by minors".
In June 2020, the uninsured system was upgraded again and entered the 3.0 stage. On the basis of "restricting play, limiting charging, and curfews" for minors with real names, we specifically aim at the problem of "children fraudulently using parental identity information to bypass supervision", expand the scope of application of face recognition technology, and screen users suspected of being minors.
Since October 21, 2020, Tencent has once again optimized the face recognition verification process, which has been applied to more than 100 mobile game products under Tencent Games, including Glory of Kings and Peace Elite.
In February 2021, an average of 7.24 million accounts were logged in every day, and 60,000 accounts triggered face recognition verification during payments. Among them, due to refusal or failure to verify, about 90.5% of the accounts in the login link were included in the anti-addiction supervision, and 80.0% of the payment link was blocked from recharging.
In addition, in May 2020, Tencent Games joined hands with Unity, the world's leading real-time 3D content creation platform, to jointly launch an anti-addiction system development tool.
This tool can enable small and medium-sized game developers that do not have the ability to develop anti-addiction systems or data verification to implement new anti-addiction regulations and jointly build a good and healthy game environment ecology.
It is worth mentioning that in July 2020, Tencent participated in the launch meeting of the preparation of the "Technical Requirements for the Guardianship System for Minors in Information Technology Online Games" and participated in the drafting of the first national standard for the guardianship of minors in games.
In terms of "soft means", Tencent has built a multi-party communication platform, continued to exert efforts in the family field, and launched the "Family Communication Plan" to promote benign communication within the family and fundamentally help the family game control problem.
On March 24, 2021, Tencent released its fourth quarter financial report and annual results report for 2020, announcing the game consumption data of minors for the first time. In the fourth quarter of 2020, the proportion of minors under the age of 16 was 3.2%.

Among them, "e-commerce poverty alleviation" is an important direction.
In order to promote "e-commerce poverty alleviation", Ali has integrated the business resources and technical capabilities of the whole group such as rural Taobao, Tmall, Alibaba Cloud, and Cainiao Network.
Since 2018, Aliba has implemented the model of "public welfare live broadcasting" to help alleviate poverty.
At the "2018 Poverty Alleviation Public Welfare Live Broadcast Ceremony", the county magistrates of poor counties live-streamed and promoted their hometown agricultural products, 102 agricultural products from 50 poverty-stricken counties such as Anhui Zhongshan, Gansu LiXian, Inner Mongolia Xing'an Mengke Right Middle Banner, xinjiang Jimunai, etc., which sold more than 10 million yuan in 4 hours.
As of August 2020, more than 100,000 farmer anchors have been born in Taobao live broadcast rooms, with an average of 13,000 public welfare live broadcasts per day, mobile phones becoming new agricultural tools, live broadcasts becoming new agricultural work, and data becoming new agricultural materials, helping 1 million farmers get rid of poverty and become rich.
In addition, the "poverty alleviation commissioner" is another new model of poverty alleviation pioneered by Alibaba.
From 2019 onwards, Alibaba will send senior employees with more than 10 years of ali experience to state-level poverty-stricken counties to take root for two years, bring Ali's specific poverty alleviation projects into it, and help the local government improve the level of digitalization.
At present, more than 10 Ali poverty alleviation commissioners have been stationed in Pingshun, Shanxi, Lixian, Gansu, Weiyuan, Hebei, Zhangbei, Jilin Wangqing, Guizhou Pu'an and other poverty-stricken counties.
These Ali poverty alleviation commissioners have led local poor households to participate in Tmall Double 11. From 2017 to 2019, Alibaba's agricultural product sales in the past three years have exceeded 540 billion yuan, and it is helping to build 100 1 billion agricultural brands.
Relevant data show that as of October 2020, nearly 500 million netizens and 1.76 million merchants have supported the "Dingliang pillar health poverty alleviation public welfare insurance" through the Taobao Public Welfare Baby Program, which has provided nearly 10 million health protections for poor families in 80 counties in 12 provinces; 550 million people have planted 220 million real trees in ant forests, thus creating 730,000 green jobs, farmers planting trees to increase their income by more than 100 million yuan; 14,691 teachers participated in the "Ma Yun Rural Education Program" and "Tsai Chongxin Vocational Education Plan". It has affected 130,000 teachers and students in 346 poverty-stricken counties in 22 provinces and helped education get rid of poverty.

Ping An: Left-handed green finance,
Right hand green investment
In April 2021, Ping An Group released the "Five-Year Development Plan for Green Finance", which will rely on the Group's comprehensive financial advantages to formulate a specific green finance action plan and put forward specific requirements for each business sector.
In terms of green loans, Ping An has gradually reduced its loan financing support for "two highs and one leftover" industries and enterprises, strengthened the loan review of state-controlled enterprises, and reduced the scale of loans; referred to the relevant green credit guidelines and catalogues of the People's Bank of China and the Banking and Insurance Regulatory Commission, increased financing support for green enterprises and green projects, opened green channels, and accelerated the speed of lending; and effectively provided financial incentives in the form of loan interest subsidies.
For example, Ping An Bank provided green credit support for a wind power project with a central enterprise background. In view of the company's wind power projects in Shandong, Ping An Bank changed the traditional financing means of relying on the credit support of large central enterprises in the past for banking business, and with the help of the professional ability of the new energy equity investment fund, focused on the capital balance ability of the wind power project itself, and quickly approved and invested a wind power project with a capacity of 150MW and an amount of nearly 1 billion yuan. It is expected to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 347,000 tons, sulfur dioxide emissions by 0.33 million tons and nitrogen oxide emissions by 539.1 tons per year.
In terms of green insurance, Ping An is rich in green insurance products and services, such as new energy vehicle insurance, green building insurance and green credit enhancement insurance, climate and green commodity index insurance, etc.
Take wildlife public liability insurance as an example: since April 16, 2021, a group of Asian wild elephants originally inhabiting the Xishuangbanna National Nature Reserve in Yunnan Province began to migrate northward, lasting more than 110 days and traveling more than 1,300 kilometers, passing through 8 counties (cities) (cities) in Yuxi, Honghe and Kunming.
According to data from Ping An Production Line, as of August 12, 2020, there were 1,726 "accidents" in the Northward Migration asian elephant herd, 968 households were damaged, and the estimated economic loss was nearly 1.65 million yuan, involving property losses such as crops, farmers' houses, gates, vehicles, etc., of which the losses were mainly concentrated in Yuanjiang and Asan, and the damaged crop varieties were mainly flue-cured tobacco, sugarcane and corn.
In response to this phenomenon, Ping An Property & Casualty and the local government, forestry and grassland bureau, agriculture and rural bureau and other units and departments timely do a good job in service and responsibility, damage verification and compensation.
As of June 19, 2020, Ping An Property & Casualty has completed the first phase of the public liability insurance for wildlife accidents, with an insurance amount of 1.1712 million yuan for 411 elephant group "accident" cases, and the second phase of the public liability insurance for wildlife accidents is being carried out in an orderly manner, and the loss of residents along the route will be paid after the statistical loss determination work is gradually completed.
In terms of green investment, Ping An has increased its investment in green targets, including but not limited to listed companies' stocks, bonds, public funds, private equity, debt plans, special asset management and trust plans, etc., and encourages innovative forms and areas of green financial products (such as carbon finance).
At present, Ping An Capital mainly focuses on five major areas: consumption upgrading, modern services and technology, medical and health, high-end manufacturing and energy conservation and environmental protection, including Shenzhen Environmental Protection, Sanchuan Energy, Beiqing Energy, China Tianyao, Ningde Times, Cinda Biologics, WuXi AppTec and other green investment cases. According to incomplete statistics, as of now, the scale of Ping An carbon-neutral equity investment has reached 25.6 billion yuan, of which 13.2 billion yuan is clean energy and 7.76 billion yuan is energy-saving and environmental protection technology, accounting for a relatively large proportion.

Huawei: Using technology to protect rare species,
Scientific carbon reduction
In terms of ESG, Huawei advocates "using technology to protect nature".
Taking the frequent endangerment of gibbon species as an example, for species such as Hainan gibbons, which are good at making extremely loud and complex chirps, their calls contain multiple population codes, which can reflect the joys and sorrows of the gibbon family and the population changes.
Bringing a large amount of audio together in the audio library and analyzing it through modern technical means will be an important way for the protection and monitoring of Hainan gibbons in the future.
To this end, Huawei's Tech4Nature project, which cooperates with the IUCN, and the Hainan National Park Research Institute, officially released the Hainan Gibbon Acoustic Research Project on November 29, 2020.
The project can more effectively capture the activity information of Hainan gibbons through acoustic monitoring, and comprehensively use new technologies such as automatic collection, wireless transmission and network storage to process the monitored acoustic data, which will provide a scientific basis for the discovery of potential Hainan gibbons individuals or groups.
How science and technology can open up more biodiversity and embark on the road of conservation innovation, and solving the chirping of Hainan gibbons through real-time deciphering through acoustic monitoring is a typical microcosm.
In addition to effectively guarding the Hainan gibbon, the Tech4Nature project will develop and deploy digital technology-based conservation solutions for ecosystems such as mountains, wetlands, coral reefs, tropical rainforests and temperate forests, as well as local endangered species.
It is worth mentioning that the Tech4Nature project was launched by IUCN and Huawei in 2020, with the goal of helping 300 natural protected areas around the world to use digital technology and combine with IUCN Green List standards to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of their conservation by 2023 through technology and innovation.
In terms of carbon neutrality, Huawei has built the world's largest complementary power station.
The characteristics of the power station are: the upper is photovoltaic, and the following is planted with goji berries. This photovoltaic power station all adopts Huawei's smart photovoltaic solution, and the intelligent string inverter is combined with the flat-axis automatic tracking technology with inclination, and the solar photovoltaic panels can automatically chase light like sunflowers, and the power generation and operation and maintenance efficiency have been greatly improved. The latest data show that the base has reduced carbon dioxide emissions by 2.047 million tons, which is equivalent to planting more than 89 million trees.
At present, Huawei Smart PV has been put into use at many major transportation hubs such as Beijing Daxing International Airport, Xiong'an Station, Asia's largest high-speed rail station, and Shanghai Metro Longyang Road Base, creating an application scenario of "photovoltaic + transportation".
At the same time, Huawei and its partners have also jointly created a number of mature application scenarios, including the 100MW PV leader project in the Baotou coal mining subsidence area in Inner Mongolia, the "photovoltaic + sewage plant" recycling model in Xiangjiang New Area, Hunan, and the fishery-light complementary model of "photovoltaic + fish farming" in Binzhou, Shandong.
According to relevant data, Huawei's smart PV global cumulative shipments exceed 160 GW, widely used in more than 60 countries, serving education, medical care, sports, transportation, agriculture, animal husbandry and fishery, modern manufacturing and other industries, accumulating 300 billion kWh of green electricity, reducing carbon dioxide emissions by 148 million tons, equivalent to planting more than 200 million trees.
epilogue
For technology companies, whether it is the level of technical value or the level of social value, the construction of ESG is becoming more and more important.
Especially under China's 3060 climate target, technology companies, as a key player in the deep economic fabric and personal life, can hardly avoid the mandatory question of the transition to a low-carbon sustainable business model.
In addition, the disclosure of corporate ESG information is related to the financial risk of the company, and making up for the lesson of ESG management as soon as possible is also an unavoidable threshold for technology companies in the future capital market.
In the future, mainland science and technology enterprises should bid farewell to the extensive development model of relying on high resource input, high environmental costs, high investment, and high energy consumption in exchange for economic growth with low efficiency and low technological progress, and instead establish a new growth paradigm of promoting high-quality social development through technological progress.
In the long run, in today's intelligent era, social and environmental problems are actually a potential opportunity, rather than a simple cost expenditure. From this point of view, the process of solving environmental and social problems in enterprises is essentially a value-added process.
Technology enterprises ESG management, the road is slowly repaired far away, I will go up and down and explore.
