ESG in Action: How Meitu Industrial Builds Sustainability
At Meitu Industrial, we believe that “A healthy life comes from good tableware” — and that includes a healthy planet. As a leading manufacturer of food-contact products, we’re committed to integrating ESG principles throughout our operations.
Understanding ESG: More Than Just a Buzzword
ESG stands for Environmental, Social, and Governance — three critical factors that measure a company’s sustainability and ethical impact:
Environmental (E)
How a company minimizes its ecological footprint through energy use, waste management, and natural resource conservation.
Social (S)
How a company manages relationships with employees, suppliers, customers, and communities where it operates.
Governance (G)
The leadership, audits, internal controls, and shareholder rights that ensure ethical business practices.
Why ESG Matters for Manufacturers
For companies like Meitu Industrial, ESG isn’t optional — it’s essential for:
- Regulatory compliance: Global markets increasingly demand sustainable practices
- Investor confidence: 85% of investors now consider ESG factors (Morgan Stanley 2023)
- Brand differentiation: Eco-conscious consumers prefer responsible brands
- Operational efficiency: Sustainable processes often reduce long-term costs
Our ESG Implementation Roadmap
