TIn response to the concerns of different stakeholders on sustainability issues and adapting to the development trend of international sustainability issues, the sustainability issues of THSRC can be divided into three major aspects of environment, society and governance: In the environmental aspect, high-speed rail trains have low carbon, low air pollution, high energy efficiency features, and also strengthen the environmental management around the operation route and add renewable energy devices at maintenance depots and major stations to mitigate the environmental impact during the operation process. In the social aspect, we attach importance to the safety and health of employees' working environment and career development, and not only cooperate with the local industry to help the development of the domestic rail transportation industry, but also combine the core industry to invest in caring actions to promote social integration. In the governance aspect, we abide by laws and regulations and create maximum value for stakeholders. Under the principle of safety first, we continue to use innovative technology to provide fast and convenient transportation services, and continuously improve travel quality and customer satisfaction.
