Good News! Anrong Credit Successfully Approved for Qualification as a Zero-Carbon Factory/Zero-Carbon Park Evaluation and Certification Service Institution

Recently, Anrong Credit Co., Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary of Anrong Credit Rating Co., Ltd., successfully obtained the qualification of “Zero-Carbon Factory/Zero-Carbon Park Evaluation and Certification Service Institution” from the China Association of Industrial Energy Conservation and Cleaner Production, which is under the supervision of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. This marks another milestone for Anrong Credit since it obtained the qualification for “Green Debt Financing Instruments Assessment and Certification” in October 2022 from the Green Bond Standards Committee (with its office at the National Association of Financial Market Institutional Investors), which is under the supervision of the People’s Bank of China and the China Securities Regulatory Commission. It is understood that Zhongchengxin Green Finance Technology (Beijing) Co., Ltd. was also approved within the industry at the same time.

The China Association of Industrial Energy Conservation and Cleaner Production (CIECCPA) is a national industry association under the supervision of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of China and is a core industry organisation promoting the transformation of China’s industrial energy conservation, cleaner production, and green low-carbon development. The zero-carbon factory and zero-carbon park evaluation system, established and led by the association, has developed full-chain evaluation standards across dimensions including energy use, production processes, carbon management systems, and offset mechanisms. It serves as an authoritative guide for zero-carbon development in China’s industrial sector and plays a central role in helping industrial entities build systematic zero-carbon management capabilities and improve the quality and effectiveness of low-carbon development. In this authorisation review, the association set strict entry standards and conducted a comprehensive assessment across multiple dimensions, including the qualifications of professional teams, technical capability reserves, completeness of service systems, and industry practical experience. The institutions ultimately selected are all professional benchmarks in their respective segments.

As a pioneer in China’s green finance sector, Anrong Credit Co., Ltd. has for many years provided comprehensive, professional green finance services both domestically and internationally, accumulating extensive, all-around experience. With this newly obtained qualification for zero-carbon factory and zero-carbon park evaluation and certification, Anrong Credit has achieved deep integration between green finance services and industrial low-carbon scenarios, forming a full-cycle service closed loop of “zero-carbon development guidance—professional evaluation and certification—green finance empowerment—continuous carbon management optimisation.” According to the association’s authorisation announcement, Anrong Credit is able to carry out zero-carbon factory-related evaluation services in accordance with the group standard General Rules for the Creation and Evaluation of Zero-Carbon Factories (T/CIECCPA 0302023), and zero-carbon park-related evaluation services in accordance with the group standard General Rules for the Evaluation of Zero-Carbon Parks (T/CIECCPA 031-2023). Therefore, Anrong Credit’s authorisation by a national-level association is a fruitful result of its parent company, Anrong Credit Rating, having cultivated the green finance track and strategically positioned itself early in the field of industrial low-carbon services. It also marks the addition of another core capability to Anrong Credit’s comprehensive green finance service system, with its service boundaries further extending toward the front end of the real economy’s low-carbon transformation.

The 2026 Government Work Report clearly proposed to “deeply advance the construction of zero-carbon parks and factories.” The industrial sector is the main battlefield for China to achieve its “dual carbon” goals, and zero-carbon factories and zero-carbon parks are key drivers of industrial green and low-carbon transformation. Therefore, Anrong Credit and its parent company, Anrong Credit Rating, will strictly adhere to the association’s evaluation standards and working norms and conduct evaluations in accordance with the principles of independence, objectivity, and fairness, to ensure the professionalism and authority of the evaluation results.

 Obtaining this qualification through inclusion in the China Association of Industrial Energy Conservation and Cleaner Production’s List of Authorised Evaluation Service Institutions for Zero-Carbon Factories/Parks is not only a high recognition by the association of Anrong  Credit’s professional capabilities, but also means that Anrong Credit and Anrong Credit Rating are taking on greater responsibility in serving industrial low-carbon development. The company will take this as a new starting point, continue to refine its professional capabilities, continuously expand its service boundaries, and further deepen collaborative innovation between industry and finance, so as to provide comprehensive and integrated professional services for local governments’ green industry cultivation, zero-carbon upgrading of parks, and enterprises’ low-carbon transformation. It will contribute professional strength to China’s industrial green and low-carbon transformation and help ensure the timely achievement of the carbon-peaking and carbon-neutrality goals.
