Stage 1: Hands-on Incubation and DNA Formation
Stage 2: Shareholder Endorsement and ESG Governance
As a major shareholder, CN Innovations endorsed and enabled Vitalink’s adoption of comprehensive ESG governance, embedding sustainability into corporate decision-making and ensuring long-term continuity.
As global clients began to raise ESG expectations for their supply chains, Vitalink evolved from its roots in green manufacturing technologies to adopting comprehensive ESG management encompassing all areas of operations.
Action 1: Strengthen Governance Framework
Vitalink established a dedicated ESG Committee under its Board of Directors, led by the Strategic Committee, and created a cross-functional ESG taskforce covering operations, energy, procurement, HR, and compliance. One of the committee’s first priorities was to anchor the company’s climate ambition by endorsing science-based targets: a 42% reduction in Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 2031, and net-zero across the value chain by 2050. This top-down structure enabled ESG targets to be embedded into daily operations, reinforced by quarterly reviews and annual assessments that translated strategy into concrete actions and iterative improvements.
