Summary:
From October 11 to 12, in order to implement the Party Committee of the Group’s directives regarding the Hunan Provincial State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission’s safety production supervision and inspection work and the special safety inspection during the security and stability safeguard period for the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, as well as to gain a comprehensive understanding of the subsidiary companies’ 2023 work plans, Li Zhiyong, Deputy Secretary of the Group’s Party Committee and General Manager, visited Xiangyu Salt & Chemical for a research trip. Wei Min, Chief Engineer of the Group, along with relevant personnel from the Group’s Corporate Management Department and Strategic Development Department, accompanied him on the visit.
On the afternoon of the 11th, Li Zhiyong and his delegation conducted on-site inspections of the coal gasification energy-saving technology upgrade and renovation project, the construction site for the optimization and energy-saving environmental protection renovation of the combined heat and power system, as well as the production workshops of the synthetic ammonia division and the salt packaging division.
On the morning of the 12th, Li Zhiyong convened a research meeting attended by senior executives at or above the level of assistant general manager of Xiangyu Salt & Chemical. At the meeting, Liu Xingzhong, Party Secretary and Chairman of Xiangyu Salt & Chemical, reported on the company’s production safety and business performance from January to September, as well as its “One Axis, Two Wings” development strategy and management initiatives. Regarding preparations for the upcoming safety production supervision and inspection by the Hunan Provincial State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission on state-owned enterprises under provincial jurisdiction, Tang Hu, head of the Group’s Corporate Management Department, pointed out that Xiangyu Salt & Chemical had prepared all required documentation, implemented effective on-site management, and completed rectification of hazards identified during the group’s special inspections. The company is maintaining a firm grip on safety production. However, there are two issues that require particular attention: First, greater emphasis should be placed on identifying and addressing potential hazards in the combined alkali system’s structures and buildings; rectification measures must be prioritized according to urgency. Second, coordination should be strengthened for cross-operation activities and the alignment of industrial upgrade projects, ensuring proper planning and allocation of personnel.
Li Zhiyong pointed out that ensuring stable and safe production is currently the top priority for the group, and the group’s Party Committee has already convened a special meeting to make arrangements. He fully affirmed the achievements made by Xiangyu Salt & Chemical, noting that the company is on a good development trajectory and exhibits “four” key characteristics: first, adopting a work approach that balances immediate actions with long-term planning and maintains firmness on both fronts; second, focusing equally on production and technological upgrades in key areas, advancing them simultaneously; third, emphasizing both efficiency and management, taking a dual-pronged approach; and fourth, promoting business operations while fostering corporate culture, driving progress together.
Li Zhiyong emphasized that Xiangyu Salt & Chemical should further tighten its screws, assume greater responsibility, and keep pace with the times. First, we must focus on reducing costs and improving efficiency, further refining our management practices, and transitioning our production and operations toward systematic standardization. Second, we need to ensure a smooth transition between old and new equipment during startup. With unwavering determination and strict discipline, we must resolutely win this tough battle of upgrading and testing our facilities, ensuring that each startup is successful and stable from the very beginning, thus laying a solid foundation for the company’s high-quality and sustainable development. Third, we should carefully consider projects aimed at filling gaps and enhancing existing production facilities, strike a balance within our current production systems, and comprehensively and systematically review planned investment projects. Fourth, we must place great importance on talent development. As the Group’s training ground, Xiangyu Salt & Chemical should continue to identify, nurture, and reserve talented individuals, promote the “Light Salt” culture, and cultivate and supply talent to support the Group’s nationwide strategic development.
Xiangyu Salt & Chemical will maintain high morale, assume a strong sense of responsibility, enhance its management capabilities, and continue to achieve greater efficiency, cultivate talented individuals, and accumulate valuable experience, steadily growing stronger and larger in the salt and chemical industry.
