Background and Basis of ESMP 1.1. Project Background In May 2009, the Fourth Conference of the Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants (hereinafter referred to as the ‘Stockholm Convention’) adopted the Amendments to Annex A, Annex B and Annex C, adding nine persistent organic pollutants (hereinafter referred to as ‘POPs’) to the Stockholm Convention, including perfluorooctane sulfonic acid and its salts (PFOS) and perfluorooctane sulfonyl fluoride (PFOSF). On August 30th, 2013, the fourth session of the Standing Committee of the 12th National People's Congress deliberated and approved the amendment. It officially came into force in China on March 26th, 2014. On March 25th, 2014, the Ministry of Environmental Protection and other 12 ministries and commissions jointly issued a notice banning all production, circulation, use, import and export of PFOS and PFOSF except for specific exempted and acceptable uses. As required by the amendment, China should phase out the use of six specific exempted uses of PFOS by the end of the specific exemption period (March 25th, 2019), and gradually implement best practicable technology and best environmental practices in the seven industries for acceptable uses of PFOS, in order to gradually reduce and phase out the production and use of PFOS. To implement the requirements of the amendment and promote the elimination and substitution of PFOS in China, Foreign Economic Cooperation Office (FECO) of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment and the World Bank jointly developed the Global Environment Facility ‘China Perfluorooctane Sulfonic Acid and its Salts (PFOS) and Perfluorooctane Sulfonyl Fluoride (PFOSF) Priority Industry Reduction and Phase-out Project’ (hereinafter referred to as the ‘PFOS Project’). In 2019, the PFOS Project and the China Certification Center for Fire Products (hereinafter referred to as ‘CCCF’) of the Ministry of Emergency Management signed the Consulting Service Contract of Global Environment Facility ‘China PFOS Priority Industry Reduction and Phase-out Project’ - Fire Industry PFOS Control and Reduction Sub-Project. The research, development, demonstration and promotion of PFOS fire extinguishant alternatives/alternative technologies have been in progress since 2020. Ningbo Nenglin Fire-fighting Equipment Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Nenglin Co.") was founded in 1972. Located in No. 10 Yunli Road, Yunlong Town, Yinzhou District, Ningbo City, Zhejiang Province, it provides professional production and sales of fire extinguishing agent, fire extinguishers and other fire- fighting equipment. Nenglin Co. is the national high and new technology enterprise. Also, as the member of sub-technical committee on fire extinguishing agents of national fire standardization technical committee, the company is involved in 1 multiple national fire extinguishing agent standard formulation and revision. It has a number of inventions, utility models and patent of appearance design. More than 40 products have obtained authentication from recognized organizations home and abroad. Nenglin Co. plans to participate in the ‘Foam Extinguishant Manufacture Enterprise Demonstration Activity for Fire Protection Industry’ (hereinafter referred to as ‘this project’) in the ‘Fire Protection Industry PFOS Control and Reduction Sub-Project’. The project includes the development of new foam extinguishant formulations free of PFOS, the trial production of foam extinguishant products free of PFOS, the testing and evaluation of the performance and reliability of products, and finally the complete suspension of foam extinguishant products containing PFOS. Currently Nenglin Co. has one production line of ABC dry powder extinguisher, one production line of ABC dry powder extinguishing agent and one production line of foam extinguishing agent. The capacity of each is 600,000 sets per year, 20,000 tons per year and 2,000 tons per year, respectively. The production of the ABC dry powder extinguisher and the ABC dry powder extinguishing agent does not involve PFOS. Based on the existing production line of foam extinguishing agent, Nenglin Co. plans to combine the replacement surfactants without PFOS substances with other surfactants and additives to prepare 5 foam solution products without PFOS substances and replace the main production equipment, add new quality testing equipment, then stop manufacture of the original PFOS products. This project does not change the production capacity of synthetic foam extinguishant, nor does it involve the production line of ABC dry powder extinguisher and ABC dry powder extinguishing agent. This project is a donation project of the World Bank. Hence it is necessary to follow the requirements of the World Bank to prepare the Environmental and Social Management Plan (hereinafter referred to as ‘ESMP’). The purpose is to evaluate the compliance of existing production facilities, clarify the time and cost of rectification measures, and to provide a set of technically, economically and managerially feasible countermeasures to reduce or eliminate the potential environmental and social impact of the project. By implementing the ESMP, this project conforms with the World Bank environmental and social security policies and national laws and regulations. Shanghai Greenment Environmental Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as ‘Greenment’) was employed by Nenglin Co. to evaluate the environmental and social management system of its existing PFOS related production lines, public and auxiliary facilities and environmental facilities, and to prepare the ESMP of this project. The ESMP applies to the possible impact of the part completed by Nenglin Co. on the environment and society inside and outside the plant during the development of the project, covering the whole project cycle. 2 1.2. Methodology of Work The following methods were used by Greenment to prepare the ESMP. ➢ Review of relevant documents, including (1) Environmental impact assessment report, Pollution Discharge Permit and other environmental licensing documents. (2) Environmental and social management system documents. (3) Relevant social licensing documents.

The impact of Nenglin Co.'s current projects on surrounding communities is mainly caused by occupational hazards such as three-waste pollutants, noise and dust, raw and auxiliary materials, and the operation of product transport vehicles. Nenglin Co. reduces the impact on the residents of surrounding communities by strictly complying with environmental assessment and other prevention and control measures to deal with pollutants, control noise sources and transport vehicles, reasonable operation to reduce the amount of dust emission and other measures. Due to its low environmental and social impact on the surrounding communities, the impact is very limited. 4.4.4. Ethnic Minorities Nenglin Co. is located in Yunlong Town, Yinzhou District, Ningbo City, Zhejiang Province. It does not belong to residential areas of ethnic minorities and the project 32 land use does not involve ethnic minorities. Hence, this project does not involve the impact on ethnic minorities. 4.4.5. The Grievance Mechanism Nenglin Co. has set up an internal grievance mechanism and formed a labor union. Employees are free to appeal to the labor union or the general manager's mailbox. Upon receipt of the grievance, a reply will be made within 5 working days as to whether it is accepted or not. The labor union or the general office shall review the grievance within 5 working days after receiving it, and coordinate and communicate with the appellant and the leaders in charge on the handling opinions of the grievance. If it cannot be coordinated, they are advised to go through judicial procedures. According to the interview, no employee has ever proposed a grievance. Nenglin Co. has already established a community grievance mechanism. According to the management personnel interview, the surrounding communities have not proposed a grievance against Nenglin Co. Nenglin Co. will keep a written record of possible grievance if it happens in the future. 4.5. Management System Nenglin Co. has passed BSI ISO9001 quality management system, ISO14001 environmental management system, ISO45001 occupational health and safety management system.
