In an on-site interview at the conference, Chairman Qiu Ming stated that as a new member of the Asia Pacific Green Alliance (APGA), Kuntin will introduce the Alliance’s Green Excellence Manufacturer (GEM) certification into China to empower more domestic manufacturing enterprises to expand into Southeast Asian markets.

By assisting settled park enterprises and their products in obtaining GEM certification, Kuntin will help these enterprises gain early-mover advantages for business expansion in ASEAN countries and further explore broader market opportunities for their products across the region.

Chairman Qiu Ming also mentioned that as a nationally distributed industrial park investment and operation service provider, Kuntin Group has developed and operated multiple industrial parks across North, East and Central China in strict accordance with green, low-carbon and sustainable development standards. The Group implements refined development and operational management in terms of eco-friendly material application, green energy utilization, energy conservation and emission reduction, ecological environment optimization and smart community management, helping enterprises achieve green and sustainable development goals and better integrate into global supply chains.

For small and medium-sized enterprises settled in Kuntin’s eco-friendly and low-carbon-compliant parks, the introduction of the GEM certification requires minimal additional investment. With professional training and optimized operational and management system upgrades, enterprises can establish sound green development concepts and obtain the GEM Bronze certification qualification. Supported by the GEM certification service system introduced by Kuntin Group, enterprises of all types can receive progressive certification training, professional guidance and full-cycle accompanying services tailored to their actual development needs.

While continuously investing in, developing and constructing industrial parks, Kuntin Group adheres to its core values of "Professional Services, Perfection Pursuit, Industrial Upgrading, Value Creation". It keeps upgrading and innovating its service system to deliver more professional, premium, humanized and all-round services for enterprises.

In recent years, Kuntin Group has closely followed the ESG development strategies of the manufacturing sector and built green sustainable park platforms in full compliance with dual-carbon standards. Its participation in the Asia Pacific Green Alliance (APGA) as a representative Chinese enterprise and the introduction of the Green Excellence Manufacturer (GEM) certification mark an expansion and innovation of its service system. Targeting the pain points of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in green transformation — high technical barriers and heavy capital input — Kuntin helps these enterprises achieve sustainable transition step by step in the most efficient way. The certification serves as a platform for enterprises to expand international business, boost credibility and market recognition of their overseas products, and thus enables them to integrate into global green supply chains faster and better.

Moving forward, the GEM certification will act as a stepping stone for manufacturers to access Asia-Pacific markets. Enterprises with outstanding green and sustainable performance can more easily secure policy support from governments and regulators. Meanwhile, such enterprises can improve internal operational efficiency, cut operating costs, and raise economic returns through intangible asset appreciation and brand premium.
