The Ninth China Steel Annual Conference Was Held at The Beijing Convention Center.

The Ninth China Steel Annual Conference was held on October 22th -25th at the Beijing Convention Center. Baosteel Group chairman Mr. Xu Le Jiang was invited to deliver a keynote speech of " green business model create green steel - Baosteel's understanding and practice", emphasizing the green environmental protection will be the core of China steel industry transformation and upgrading. The speech took great concerns and was widely recognized .

The theme of this year's meeting was "scientific and technological innovation, ecological civilization, green steel." The Annual Meeting combined with the user and the market, highlighting the metallurgical technological innovation, product upgrade and services, energy conservation and emission reduction, providing space and platform for domestic steel industry leaders, experts, scientists and foreign counterparts to exchange the latest scientific and technological achievements, and explore the development direction of steel technology.

In his speech, Mr Xu , first expounded on the understanding and awareness of green steel. He pointed out that a series of questions faced by China steel industry today seemed to be a result of changes on market demand but in fact, can be all attributed to environmental and resource constraints problem. To this end, green environmental protection will be the core content for China iron and steel industry to upgrade. Mr Xu said green steel has three levels. First is green manufacturing, through which to achieve energy saving of the steel production process, with the lowest consumption and minimal emissions to complete the production process of steel products; thus transforming into manufacturing "green", by carrying out eco-design, manufacture green products, to ensure product will not harm the environment during usage, the development of new products as an alternative for existing non- green materials; ultimately realizing green industry through the integration of energy saving and environmental protection technology related to steel manufacturing, expanding technology application, implementing business development, to achieve business value. Mr Xu believes that " green manufacturing + manufacturing green " does not mean green steel, only " green manufacturing + manufacturing green + green-related manufacturing industries" is the green steel.

Mr Xu said The essence of green steel is greenization of steel enterprises business model. Steel green business model has three characteristics: First, highlighting the environmental benefits and sustainability. Second, highlighting the service-oriented. Third, highlighting innovation. Iron and steel enterprises can shift manufacturing to services, from products business to environment business to realize the greenization of iron and steel enterprises business model. In recent years, Baosteel made actively practice and exploration on building green iron and steel enterprise. Mr Xu said Baosteel aiming to become the world 's most competitive resource-saving and environment-friendly green steel enterprise group, explored and established a green steel management system, carrying out the ISO14001 environmental management system certification, energy management system standards implementation certification and corporate social responsibility system determining the corporate environmental management policy, and actively promoting clean factory audit work. Meanwhile, Baosteel strengthen technological innovation, based on innovation hard power to accelerate green manufacturing process and green product development, focusing on three aspects: to increase investment in the field of environmental protection, promote energy conservation and emission reduction; support green technology manufacturing by technical innovation, leading industry technical promotion; focusing on green product development, and promote the  green development of downstream industries. In recent years, Baosteel has made some achievements on green new product development, including achieving world premiere the third generation of advanced high strength steel of 980Mpa grade QP cold-rolled strip, domestic largest size of super 13Cr casing products successfully descending in the Tarim oilfield, high silicon high magnetic strength oriented silicon steel achieving mass production, 690U-tube  manufactured by the Baosteel used for unit 1 nuclear power plant evaporator in Fangchenggang successfully piping etc., making its due contribution for the Chinese automotive industry and national energy strategy.

Green business model is built of enterprise soft power, boosting enterprise green transformation. Mr Xu stressed that green business model is a way of low-carbon development for high-carbon industry. Baosteel through environmental management strategy, transformation from manufacturing to service, digitization Baosteel implement a series of initiatives to carry out green business model. Mr Xu said that environmental management can take the initiative to the integration of environmental protection and business, creating value for enterprise while protecting the environment. service-oriented manufacturing is a new business model and production organization mode, able to create new value. Transformation from manufacturing to service is one of the three strategic Baosteel and Baosteel has already possessed the condition for it. The scope of green steel also includes green management, green transactions, Baosteel use digitization as support to achieve the low-carbon of management and transaction costs.

Mr Xu said for years, Baosteel strive to develop green related industry, improve green steel industry chain. Baosteel has achieved some success in energy conservation, environmental protection and comprehensive utilization of resources and other business areas, last year, the sales income reached 3.42 billion yuan with profits of 785 million yuan and recycling 8.42 million tons of solid waste resources.

According to the information that this year's steel annual meeting has received a total of more than 900 papers at home and abroad, hiring nearly 700 articles. More than 50 scientific and technical personnels from Baosteel Corporate, Baosteel Central Research Insititute, Bayi Iron & Steel, Ningbo Steel, Stainless Steel, Baosteel special materials, Shaoguan Iron and Steel, Meishan Steel, Baosteel Engineering & Technology Group, Institute for Economic Management and other departments participated in the Annual Meeting, 21 papers from Baosteel scientific and technical personnels were addressed and exchanged in more than 10 parallel sessions.
