1. Anti-Monopoly Measures
The Company has refined its organizational structure and institutional system foranti-monopoly compliance management. In 2024, we established the Anti-MonopolyCompliance Management Committee, appointed a Chief Compliance Officer, and setup the Anti-Monopoly Compliance Office. We also revised the Anti-MonopolyCompliance Guidelines into the Anti-Monopoly Compliance Management System.
Glodon’s Anti-Monopoly Compliance Management Organizational Structure
Glodon has implemented anti-monopoly compliance constraints and measuresthroughout the business processes. During the pricing and sales strategy formulationstage, we have added a compliance review procedure prior to finalization. In the pricetransmission phase, we have developed and distributed compliance promotionalmaterials to strictly regulate frontline business practices. In the offline quotation process,we have made public the prices of individual products on its official website, promoted
compliant quotation models, and piloted an online quotation model. Quotation contentsand prices are first confirmed and recorded by customers before orders are generated,ensuring customers’ right to know about product contents and prices. In the online salesprocess, we have added adjustment paths and prompt contents for renewal products tofully protect small and medium-sized customers’ rights to independently adjust theirproducts. We have also added a secondary channel for customers to contact theCompany in its quotations to ensure that customer feedback is genuine and effectivelycommunicated upwards.We have implemented anti-monopoly compliance measures and reviewed theireffectiveness. We have selected pilot business departments and, at the first level,focused on conducting spot checks and sampling inspections from the customer andsales sides to assess business compliance in areas such as price transmission, quotation,and services. At the second level, the Anti-Monopoly Compliance Office has reviewedand inspected the effectiveness of business implementation based on the results of spotchecks, internal complaint records, and external industrial and commercial complaintdata, identifying gaps and continuously strengthening implementation capabilities inweak areas.
Glodon has emphasized strengthening guidance on anti-monopoly complianceawareness. We organized compliance training for key personnel in relevant businesslines, covering three major customer groups, five major business units, and themarketing service sector, with a total of 1,446 participants. We invited renowned expertsand scholars, as well as senior legal counsel, to teach anti-monopoly complianceknowledge, with senior leaders of the group taking the lead in participating in training.We organized two centralized anti-monopoly compliance training assessments, with aparticipation rate of 97% and a passing rate of 96%. We gradually promoted the signingof the Anti-Monopoly Compliance Commitment by senior management, anti-monopolycompliance management personnel, personnel responsible for the Company’s productpricing and sales policies, distributor management personnel, bidding staff, businessleaders, and sales personnel.
In 2024,? Anti-monopoly training covered a total of 1,446 individuals.As of the end of 2024,? 293 individuals had signed the Anti-Monopoly Compliance Commitment.

From 2023 onward, the scope of environmental performance statistics includes Glodon’s office buildings in Beijing, Shanghai, andXi’an. For the period from 2020 to 2022, data coverage was limited to the Beijing Headquarters Building. Glodon’s Smart Constructionand South China Headquarters in Guangzhou is scheduled to commence operations in July 2025; as such, its full-year data is unavailableand will be incorporated into the statistical scope beginning in 2026.
Restatement of Historical Data:
Natural Gas CO? Emission Factor: Due to a unit error in the CO? emission factor for natural gas in 2023, the originally applied factorof 0.002162 kg CO?/m? has been corrected to 2.16 kg CO?/m?.Electricity CO? Emission Factor: The emission factor for electricity was updated in 2023 from 0.5703 kg CO?/kWh (as per the Ministryof Ecology and Environment’s Notice on Doing a Good Job in 2023-2025 Reporting and Management of Greenhouse Gas Emissions ofPower Generation Enterprises) to 0.5366 kg CO?/kWh, based on the 2022 power CO? emission factors jointly released by the Ministry ofEcology and Environment and the National Bureau of Statistics in 2024.
Following these updates of factors, the Company has revised the total carbon emissions as well as Scope 1 and Scope 2 carbon emissionvalues for 2023. These restatements result from updates in accounting methodologies and does not reflect an actual increase in emissions.
As part of the Company’s continuous enhancement of its carbon emissions accounting framework, purchased thermal energy was
newly included in 2024, enabling more comprehensive coverage.
Restatement of Historical Data: Some electricity consumption data in 2023 had not been finalized by the reporting deadline.
Consequently, previously reported values were based on estimates and have been subsequently revised to reflect actual usage.
The increase in purchased electricity is primarily due to the expansion of IT infrastructure. With the continuous growth of Glodon’s
AI-related business, there is an increasing demand for IT infrastructure expansion, the Xi’an R&D Centre Building added 37 new serversto its IT center in 2024, leading to a 45% year-on-year increase in power consumption in the core server room. With further business growth,a growing need for IT capacity expansion is anticipated, therefore the Company is concurrently implementing energy-saving initiatives forservers to mitigate carbon emission increases.
The reason for the increase in total natural gas consumption is that the energy utilization of employees hasincreased. Guanglada Xi'an Tower has been providing employees with dinner since the second quarter of 2023 andhas continued to do so throughout 2024. This has led to an increase in natural gas consumption, but it has alsoenhanced employees' sense of belonging and work efficiency.
The reason for the increase in the amount of harmless waste discharged is the same as that for the increase inthe total consumption of natural gas, as stated in footnote 14.

The reason for the increase in total water consumption is the same as that for the increase in total consumptionof natural gas. Please refer to footnote 14 for details.
From 2020 to 2022, the data of total water consumption included only the Beijing Headquarters Building; therefore, waterintensity could not be calculated during that period. Beginning in 2023, water consumption statistics have been expanded to coverCompany-owned office buildings in Beijing, Xi’an, and Shanghai.
