Operation
We actively promote green manufacturing with robust systems and a comprehensive range of energy-saving and emission-reduction measures to strive for high-quality and sustainable development. At present, our headquarters base and YUTO Xuchang have been recognized as national green factories.
Carbon Management
Carbon Management
We take effective measures such as green operation, renewable energy promotion, and green electricity to gradually reduce carbon emissions and fulfill our carbon reduction responsibilities. In 2024, the greenhouse gas emissions of YUTO were reduced by 4.2% compared to those in 2023 (Scope 1 & 2, market-based). Additionally, we have completed the submission of our commitment to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), dedicating ourselves to driving deep emissions reductions within the value chain.

Three Types of Waste Management
Three Types of Waste Management
YUTO rigorously follows the regulatory requirements for exhaust gas, wastewater, solid waste, and noise in each country and region where we operate. We have adopted a series of internal management systems to facilitate the normal operation of our environmental protection facilities, ensure compliance with emission standards for exhaust gas, wastewater, and noise, as well as the proper disposal of solid waste. To date, 4 of our manufacturing bases have obtained platinum certification for zero landfill waste, and 5 manufacturing bases have acquired gold certification for zero landfill waste. In 2024, 100% of the three types of waste emissions met the standards.

Aerogel-based materials replace the insulation boards of molding machines.
In 2024, YUTOECO Kunshan - YJ implemented a project to replace the insulating boards on molding machines with aerogel-based materials. By using molecular insulation materials to separate the mold and the molding base, the project effectively reduced heat loss by approximately 79 kWh per day per machine. In total, this project reduced greenhouse gas emissions by 769 tons in 2024.

Circulating Water Pump for Central Air Handling
Shenzhen YUTO Longgang Branch has successfully replaced two 45KW power frequency pumps with one 37KW variable frequency pump through replacing pipelines, valves, pump bodies and electrical circuits with those technically improved alternatives, thereby reducing energy consumption and noise. Based on an operation time of six months per year, this project can save over 190,000 CNY annually.
Water Resource
Management
YUTO attaches importance to water resources management. We have promoted and adopted new technologies, processes, and equipment for water conservation. Moreover, we have conducted environmental footprint assessments for specific products and launched a series of projects for water conservation and wastewater reuse, enabling efficient water usage. Compared with 2023, the water intensity of four subsidiaries including YUTO India - Noida, YUTO Suzhou, YUTO Sanhe, and YUTO Hefei decreased by 7.8%, achieving the target of an average annual 1.5% reduction in water intensity.
