- The rail transport equipment company continues its commitment to 
sustainability to cultivate win-win opportunities and unlock long-term economic 
value 

China Railway Rolling Stock Corporation (CRRC, 1766.HK), one of the world's 
largest rail transportation equipment companies, has released its 2019 
Australia Sustainability Report. In a comprehensive overview of its key CSR 
priorities and initiatives, the report highlights the company's unwavering 
focus on professional development, improving green standards for its operations 
and manufacturing, and driving social and community development.

"We actively aim to protect the environment and strictly abide by Australian 
environmental policies and related regulations," said Liu Hualong, Chairman of 
CRRC. "As a corporation, we attach significant importance to research and 
development, focusing on eco-friendly materials and the reduction of energy 
consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. As a result, we are providing 
eco-friendly solutions for customers and low-carbon travel for passengers in 
Australia."

Committed to long-term partnerships

In the report, CRRC emphasized its commitment to cultivating fruitful, 
long-term relationships with local companies. Leveraging its experience in 
technology, management, operations, and services, CRRC is engaging Australian 
partners to uncover win-win opportunities and provide efficient, low-cost 
transportation solutions.  

One such example is its subsidiary Delkor, the Australian rolling stock spare 
and accessory parts manufacturing company. While CRRC acquired Delkor in 2011, 
the latter has nonetheless maintained its independence in business management. 
Meanwhile, CRRC provides all-rounded support for pricing, quality control, 
supply, and communications. 

Support for career development and occupational health & safety prevention

In full recognition of the importance of career support, CRRC Australia member 
companies offer employees advanced training, to nurture talent and encourage 
professional mobility. This includes seminars on leadership, project 
management, and quality management. 

CRRC also understands the importance of equal employment. Along with partners 
Downer and Plenary, CRRC cooperated with the Victorian government on the HCMT 
rail transit infrastructure project in Melbourne, which will create 1,100 jobs. 
15% of which are allocated for trainees and 7% for disadvantaged groups. 

Green operations

To reduce energy consumption and emissions, CRRC continuously utilizes new 
technologies, processes, equipment, and materials, with the goal of achieving 
clean production. It treats all potential environmental contaminants, such as 
industrial wastewater and gas, in compliance with relevant regulations and 
standards. 

Energy efficiency is also a key priority, as seen at the CTEA's Morwell plant. 
Designed to ensure efficient material transport and energy use, the plant is 
equipped with advanced production facilities that improves product quality 
while lowering energy consumption. The plant, itself, has also been optimized, 
maximizing use of natural light and ensuring a comfortable temperature 
throughout building design and layout.

Community development

CRRC seeks to play an active role in the local community. In 2018, it supported 
the global Pink Ribbon campaign against breast cancer by delivering a batch of 
trains to Australian customers decorated with the campaign's signature pink 
hue, to raise broad awareness of breast cancer prevention.

Moving forward, CRRC will continue to play a socially minded role to help forge 
a prosperous future with its local Australian partners.
