China Chengxin Green Finance International Co., Ltd. (referred to “CCXGFI”), a professional assessment institution recognized by the Hong Kong Monetary Authority’s Sustainable Finance Grant Scheme and engaged by Zhongyuan Yuzi Investment Holding Group Co., Ltd. (referred to as “Zhongyuan Yuzi”), has provided a second-party opinion on the sustainable finance framework developed by Zhongyuan Yuzi.

Zhongyuan Yuzi has established its Sustainable Finance Framework to conduct sustainable finance transactions, supporting projects that contribute to positive environmental and/or social impacts, thus advancing its sustainable development strategy.

CCXGFI confirms that the four core elements of Central Plains Yuzhi’s Sustainable Finance Framework align with the ‘Green Bond Principles 2021’ (including June 2022 Appendix 1), ‘Social Bond Principles 2023’, ‘Sustainability Bond Guidelines 2021', ‘Green Loan Principles 2023' and ‘Social Loan Principles 2023’. Additionally, the framework is highly relevant to Zhongyuan Yuzi's sustainable development strategy, significantly enhancing the likelihood of achieving its established environmental and social responsibility goals.
