Purpose
To address climate change and make ecological progress, China Mobile promotes a climate strategy with energy saving and emission reduction as its core, and strives to reduce its energy consumption and carbon dioxide emissions. Additionally, we work together with our value chain stakeholders and customers to reduce carbon dioxide emissions and minimize environmental impacts.

Scope
This policy applies to all China Mobile operational activities and commercial facilities worldwide. We also encourage our value chain stakeholders and customers to follow this policy.

Goals
We aim to reduce energy consumption and carbon dioxide emissions while enhancing energy efficiency. Whereas our network and business development is still growing and our energy consumption in the short term will be increasing, we strive to reduce our energy consumption per unit of business volume. Our goals are:

1. to reduce the environmental impacts from our own operations and of our value chain stakeholders.
2. to help reduce our customers' environmental impacts through our low-carbon ICT services.

Principles

1. Our senior management is responsible for our environmental commitments. Our Chairman of the Board of Directors takes responsibility for our environmental policies and performance.
2. Our day-to-day operating activities comply with the relevant laws, regulations and standards of environmental management.
3. Proactive response to climate change is an important part of our short-term and long-term business strategy, which will effectively mitigate our climate risks, save costs, and promote emission reduction across society.
4. We will review and update our environmental policies annually.
