China's housing enterprises green supply chain action: within three years to achieve an annual emission reduction of 50 million tons.

On November 16th, Moroccan time, Alashan SEE, a Chinese civil society organization, and the China-EU Social Forum jointly launched the "Environmental Benefit Assessment of Green Supply Chain Action in China's Real Estate Industry" at a side forum jointly organized by the 22nd Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP22).report shows that by 2020, carbon dioxide emissions could be reduced by 50 million tonnes per year by increasing energy consumption per unit of products such as steel, cement and profile aluminum alloys, equivalent to Portugal's total emissions in 2015 (BP World Energy Statistics Review, 2016). By 2025, the entire supply chain will have achieved an annual reduction of 890 million tonnes of CO2, twice the UK's total CO2 emissions in 2015.
China's real estate green supply chain is the world's first in the form of a joint industry to fully implement the green supply chain, in early 2016, by the Alashan SEE Eco-Association joint midtown alliance, the all-in-one real estate chamber of commerce and other industry alliances, as well as Longshi, Vanke and other industry leaders co-sponsored.
As of November 2016, the 70 real estate companies that joined the initiative had sales of nearly 1.1 trillion yuan in 2015, accounting for about 12% of the total size of the industry, involving more than 2,000 related enterprises in the industrial chain.
" from a pollution point of view, the real estate industry and construction industry add up to the supply side, steel, cement, glass, aluminum, large and small, all kinds of, together accounted for 50% of China's industrial pollution. As we all know, steel, cement, glass is a high-polluting industry, as well as
coatings
, aluminum profiles these things to be electroplating, are high-polluting industries. Qian Xiaohua, president of the Alashan SEE Eco-Association, said. In addition, research shows that China's current carbon emissions account for about 20% of the world's carbon emissions, of which nearly 40% are generated by the real estate and construction industries, that is, the total global carbon emissions, China's real estate industry accounted for about 8%.
, the Chinese government has issued a series of environmental laws and regulations, with remarkable results. However, compared with strict administrative measures, based on market means, the industry's spontaneous emission reduction actions in China is still relatively lacking. Especially for high-emission, high-polluting industrial emissions, which have been controlled for years by government administrative means, emissions trading, such as market mechanisms or voluntary corporate emission reduction schemes, has not yet been fully developed.
Alashan SEE member, vice-chairman of the Midtown Alliance, Chairman of the Longshi Group Tian Ming said at the meeting: "Green supply chain action combined enterprises, governments and consumers and other forces, from the real estate enterprises raw material procurement, production process, consumer terminals and other links, the concept of environmental protection and resource conservation throughout the whole process of the industrial chain, can promote the overall industrial chain carbon emissions and pollutant emission reduction." "
" collective action has a scale effect, so that the cost of green emission reduction because of the scale effect digestion, the promotion of green supply chain in the industry is possible. Chen Jinsong, a member of Alashan SEE, chairman of the Midtown Alliance and chairman of the World Federation, said that business actions must take into account the actual interests of businesses, otherwise it is easy to flow in slogans, not easy to implement.
action also requires monitoring by environmental groups and society to be better implemented, "transparent data is important to us and us, otherwise we will not be able to execute." Chen Jinsong said.
Chen Jinsong believes that real estate exploration is only the first step for Chinese companies to participate in the green supply chain, and it is expected that if the activity starts in various industries, China's carbon emission reduction in the market can explore a useful way, which is also the responsibility of Chinese enterprises to the world carbon emission reduction.
