近期,联合国全球契约组织在北京联合国大楼举办“中非社区可持续发展行动网络”启动仪式。海辰储能与来自联合国机构、非洲驻华使节、企业、学术机构和媒体代表等齐聚一堂,共同探讨企业在非洲经营中如何应对ESG与可持续发展挑战,构建伙伴关系,有效助力非洲社区可持续发展,进而改善民生,加速实现可持续发展目标,并见证了该网络的启动。
为了加快落实联合国全球契约组织《中国战略》中非企业可持续发展的战略目标,推进2030年可持续发展议程,联合国全球契约组织在华联络办公室发起了“中非社区可持续发展行动网络”(Sino-Africa Corporate Community Action Network on Sustainable Development)。该网络将持续汇聚公共部门、企业、国际组织、学术机构、媒体等多利益相关方,旨在为在非投资与运营的参与企业搭建国际性交流合作平台。通过长期合作,该网络致力于共同关注环境、劳工、SDG创新、青年就业和医疗健康等议题,助力企业应对在非经营过程中的可持续发展挑战,并促成不同行业与领域的可持续发展合作。

海辰储能长期致力于可持续发展事业,积极践行可持续发展的理念。去年,海辰储能创新性推出首款能源平权产品HeroEE,该产品采用海辰储能电力工业级储能电池的光储一体智能系统寿命长达10年,均摊到每度电的成本仅0.05美元(约人民币0.4元)。对于能源贫困家庭,一度电的HeroEE系统可提供80小时的照明,16小时电风扇使用等,通过电力使用帮助能源贫困人口也能获得实时资讯和教育信息,获得个人发展的希望;同时一度电的HeroEE系统还可以促进家庭式小商业,支持80小时的灌溉、10小时的缝纫机等,让能源贫困地区人民持续增加家庭的收入,改善他们的生活。在公共卫生方面,HeroEE可以支持小型医疗设备,例如医用小型冰箱等,可以用来存储疫苗和药品,从而拯救更多生命。海辰储能通过技术创新让HeroEE解决方案促进能源平权,助力实现SDG7的目标。
作为参会代表企业之一,海辰储能在此次活动中与“中非社区可持续发展行动网络”携手合作,发布了旨在支持尼日利亚可再生能源创业的公益项目,以促进当地社区的可持续发展。未来三年,海辰储能将在尼日利亚面向年轻人发起可再生能源创业项目,计划培养一批具备为家庭社区建设、维护离网能源基础设施和创业能力的当地青年。

Recently, the United Nations Global Compact organization launched the "Sino-Africa Corporate Community Action Network on Sustainable Development" at its Beijing headquarters. HiTHIUM, along with representatives from United Nations agencies, African diplomatic missions in China, businesses, academic institutions, and media outlets, discussed strategies for addressing ESG challenges and promoting sustainable development in African operations. This gathering aimed to cultivate partnerships to enhance sustainable development within African communities, enhancing livelihoods, expediting the attainment of sustainable development objectives, and mark the network's inauguration.
In line with the objectives outlined in the United Nations Global Compact organization's "China Strategy" and the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, UNGC launched the "Sino-Africa Corporate Community Action Network on Sustainable Development" at its liaison office in China. This network provides a platform for dialogue and collaboration among stakeholders from the public sector, corporate entities, international organizations, academic institutions, media entities, and other parties involved in African investments. Through ongoing collaboration, the network is dedicated to addressing various challenges such as environmental sustainability, labor rights, SDG innovation, youth empowerment, and healthcare. It aims to assist enterprises in navigating sustainable development challenges in African operations and fostering collaborations across diverse sectors.

HiTHIUM has demonstrated steadfast commitment to the cause of sustainable development and actively espouses the ethos of sustainability. Last year, HiTHIUM innovatively introduced its pioneering energy equity product, HeroEE. Leveraging HiTHIUM 's industrial-grade energy storage batteries and photovoltaic energy storage integrated intelligent systems, HeroEE boosts the lifespan up to 10 years, with a cost per kilowatt-hour amortized at a mere $0.05 (approximately RMB 0.4). For energy poverty households, the HeroEE system can support 80 hours of illumination and 16 hours of fan operation, thereby facilitating access to real-time information and educational resources, engendering prospects for personal advancement. Simultaneously, the HeroEE system catalyzes household-level microenterprise activities, supporting 80 hours of irrigation and 10 hours of sewing machine operation, thereby empowering denizens of energy-deprived regions to augment household incomes and enhance living standards. In the realm of public health, HeroEE accommodates small-scale medical equipment, including medical refrigerators, facilitating the storage of vaccines and medicines, and consequently, saving numerous lives. HiTHIUM harnesses technological innovation to advance energy equity through the HeroEE solution, and contributing to the realization of SDG7.
Guan Wei and Nigerian official agreed to
further collaboration
As a participating corporate entity, HiTHIUM also unveiled a philanthropic initiative to promote renewable energy entrepreneurship in Nigeria, aiming to enhance sustainable development in local communities. Over the next three years, HiTHIUM will spearhead renewable energy entrepreneurship initiatives targeting Nigerian youth, with the objective of nurturing local youths equipped with the acumen to spearhead the construction and maintenance of off-grid energy infrastructure and entrepreneurship ventures for community advancement.
Guan Wei, General Manager HiTHIUM's User Scenario Incubation Center, commented at the event, "Let green energy benefit all is our unwavering mission. While diligently creating value and propelling our own development, we harbor an obligation to contribute to sustainable development. Through this project, we aspire to furnish Nigerian youth with opportunities to acquire and deploy renewable energy technologies, effectuating tangible contributions to community development. Furthermore, we endeavor to heighten awareness and garner support for the HeroEE solution, thereby making significant strides in eliminating energy poverty."
This project reflects HiTHIUM's enduring dedication to sustainable development and its efforts to contribute to African communities. HiTHIUM will collaborate closely with the "Sino-Africa Corporate Community Action Network on Sustainable Development" and other partners to advance sustainable development goals and promote regional economic and social progress.
