关于供应商启动双碳战略规划的要求函 A Letter Regarding Requirements for ZTE Suppliers to Start Dual-Carbon Strategy Planning
尊敬的供应商合作伙伴：
Dear suppliers,
全球气候变暖，导致冰川加速消融、海面逐年上升，人类生存空间遭受蚕食；全球气候变暖，导致自然灾害频发、海水酸化、蝗灾泛滥、瘟疫肆虐，人类生存环境剧烈变化。全球气候变暖，已严重威胁到人类社会的可持续发展。
Global warming has accelerated the melting of glaciers and increased the global sea levels year by year, harming human health and well-being. Global warming also brings frequent natural disasters, ocean acidification, locust swarms, and plague, causing dramatic changes to the human living environment. Therefore, global warming has become a serious threat to the sustainable development of human society.
全球气候变化形势愈发严峻，“碳达峰 碳中和”（简称“双碳”）已经成为世界各国的共同呼声，我们已然进入“双碳”时代。全球各主要国家和地区都已经 / 正在通过立法或政策宣示“碳中和”目标时间，并采取配套措施积极推动“碳中和”。
As the global climate change worsens increasingly, "Carbon Emission Peak and Carbon Neutrality" (referred to as "dual carbon" for short) has become a common call of countries around the world. We are moving toward the "dual carbon" era. Major countries and regions around the world have set the time for reaching the "Carbon Neutrality" target through legislation or policy making, and are taking supporting measures to actively promote "Carbon Neutrality".
企业作为“碳中和”的责任主体，必须追求绿色低碳方向的可持续发展，积极践行绿色低碳转型。在“双碳”时代，企业要牢固树立绿色低碳发展理念，按照生态环境治理的要求积极承担社会责任，实现企业及所属行业与区域环境的和谐共处。
As key bodies in achieving "Carbon Neutrality", enterprises must pursue green, low-carbon, and sustainable development, and actively implement green and low-carbon transformation. Toward the "dual-carbon" era, enterprises should firmly establish the concept of green and low-carbon development, actively assume social responsibilities in accordance with the requirements of ecological environment governance, and work with their industry partners to conduct business in harmony with the regional environment.
中兴通讯将积极带头响应双碳战略，将绿色低碳可持续发展要求纳入供应商认证、审核、绩效评估、招标采购等供应商管理全流程，协同供应商合作伙伴共同减碳，提升供应链绿色低碳可持续发展竞争力，共同构建上下游供应链绿色发展生态圈。
ZTE will take the lead in responding to the dual-carbon strategy by incorporating the green and low-carbon sustainable development requirements into the entire supplier management process, such as certification, audit, performance assessment, and bidding and procurement. The company will work with its suppliers to reduce carbon emissions, improve the competitiveness of low-carbon sustainable development of supply chains, and jointly build a green development ecosystem involving upstream and downstream supply chains.
