Increased capital expenditures Products and services, and business operations High Assess the potential impact of natural disasters on fixed assets, production and operations, and the environment based on their frequency and scale; plan disaster relief funds based on the assessment and deploy contingency plans in advance. Long-term natural factors Keeping the temperature of server rooms within a stable range is an important prerequisite for the stable operations of base stations, server rooms and data centers. As global warming continues, rising temperature in the future will lead to increases in power consumption and electricity costs for air-conditioning at our base stations and server rooms. Increased indirect (operating) costs Business operations Moderate Regularly assess and monitor the usage of air conditioners (ACs) in server rooms, and assess the financial impact of higher electricity costs resulting from increased AC usage; reserve funds for AC renovation at the base stations/server rooms when formulating investment budget at the beginning of each year to optimize the utilization and reduce the power consumption of ACs. To understand the impact of major climate-related risks on the Company’s business strategies and decisions over different stages of time, we also explored the application and analysis with industrial energy efficiency scenarios and models. 1. Scenarios selected  Scenario 1: By 2025, the overall energy consumption per unit of telecom business shall decrease by 15% compared with 2020 (as required by MIIT).  Scenario 2: By 2025, the overall energy consumption per unit of telecom business shall decrease by 20% compared with 2020 (China Mobile’s target). 2. Scenario hypothesis The scale of our network and energy requirements in 2025 were projected assuming we will continue to develop our technologies and scale of network at the current rate. 3. Result of analysis Based on an analysis of Scenario 2, it was estimated that the Company needed to reduce energy consumption intensity by 6% in 2021. 4. Application of business strategies and decisions  The Company devised specific measures based on targets assigned to each year, including driving energy savings in 5G networks and data centers, increasing the proportion of clean energy, incorporating energy conservation indicators into procurement evaluation criteria, and advocating green office, among others. The implementation of these measures puts China Mobile on track to meet energy saving targets and industry regulatory requirements. Specifying Management Goals Our primary indicators for measuring and managing climate-related risks and opportunities include Scope 1 GHG emissions, Scope 2 GHG emissions, Scope 3 (e.g., employee commuting and travel) GHG emissions, GHG emission intensity, total energy consumption, energy consumption intensity and corresponding rates of change, among others. Based on likely climate-related impact on our future operations, we pledge to reduce Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG emission intensity by 20% by 2025 from the 2020 baseline.

 

 


 

 

 

 

Driving Internal Energy Saving and Carbon Reduction While advancing digital-intelligent transformation and high-quality development, we remained firmly committed to our environmental responsibility, strictly controlling the increase in and continuously reducing the intensity of our energy consumption and carbon emissions. Building Green Networks We continued to innovate in technologies and management tools to drive energy savings in our 5G networks and data centers. 5G networks Equipment-level energy saving: We led the industry in publishing a whitepaper on 5G energy saving in collaboration through a collaborative effort with the industry chain, laying out the roadmap for developing energy saving technologies in the next three years; we increased the weight on energy consumption-related criteria when selecting equipment and encouraged the industry chain to adopt more advanced technologies and more efficient architectures to continuously reduce the overall power consumption of equipment. Site-level energy saving: Besides subframe shutdown and channel shutdown and other features that were already in place since the 4G era, we also developed other energy-saving technologies together with our wireless equipment suppliers, such as sub-frame silence, channel silence, shallow hibernation, and deep hibernation. This has allowed us to dynamically allocate services and resources in terms of time, space and frequencies. Network-level energy saving: We increased the use of centralized-radio access network (C-RAN) architecture and built a minimalist base station construction model, optimizing our network equipment, removing air- conditioning and other supporting facilities, thereby reducing site energy consumption; took advantage of in-house technologies to conduct research on smart energy-saving; built a multi-mode and multi-frequency energy saving platform supported by AI algorithms to dynamically analyze and formulate different optimal energy saving strategies for different base stations on a refined “one-site, one-strategy” management model. Data centers With a focus on whole-process management that encompassed planning and layout, engineering design, project construction, and operations and maintenance, we built new large and mega data centers with design average annual power usage effectiveness (PUE) under 1.3, or in cold regions, under 1.25. We built green, energy-saving infrastructure for data centers using technologies like high-pressure variable- speed water-cooled chillers, in-row ACs, heat pipe backplates, high-voltage direct current (HVDC), direct utility power supply and modular uninterruptible power supply (UPS). We made full use of natural cold sources and raised the temperature of AC return air by precisely controlling its temperature and volume; maximized the usage of natural cold sources while improving the efficiency of refrigeration consoles using high-efficiency heat exchange equipment, among other measures. We equipped 12 large data centers with waste heat recovery systems, using the heat produced during data center operations to offer heating to production and office areas or for boiling water, thereby optimizing the overall utilization of energy. We carried out real-time monitoring, analysis, modeling, optimization and adjustments in selected data centers using big data, AI and other technologies to ensure smart operations under different weather conditions and loads. Practicing Green and Low-Carbon Operations China officially launched the green power exchange pilot scheme in September 2021. Our Beijing subsidiary and Shandong subsidiary actively participated, purchasing green power that came with the green power consumption certificate at the Beijing Power Exchange Center. In addition, 15 subsidiaries purchased an aggregate of 3.47 billion kWh of renewable energy, such as solar, wind and hydro energy, at local power exchange centers.  At the same time, we have been gradually replacing coal, gasoline, diesel and other traditional energy sources with clean energy. For instance, under the “Zero Carbon 100” project, our Fujian subsidiary and China Mobile Design Institute together built energy cabinets that combined solar energy and base stations, whereby solar energy absorbed by solar panels installed at the base stations was converted into electricity and transmitted to the cabinets to power facilities in conjunction with municipal power. Fujian subsidiary piloted solar stacking with “solar energy + base station integrated energy cabinets”

 

 


 

 

 

 

By the end of 2021,  Proportion of new 5G base stations that used C-RAN architecture was close to  80 %  Compared with 2020, the energy consumption of a new 5G base station decreased by  10 %  Compared with 2020, the PUE for the overall operations of all data center campuses and core machine buildings in our network decreased by  3.1% Saving energy and reducing carbon emissions with our new green and intelligent minimalist networks  Base stations, server rooms and data centers require a significant amount of of electricity. For this reason, our Shandong subsidiary introduced green and intelligent minimalist networks, through which we expected to save up to 183 million kWh of electricity per year, equivalent to a reduction of 106,000 tonnes in CO2 emissions.   Low-carbon base stations: We continued to explore and further refine power-saving management, maximizing energy savings with our 4G base stations and optimizing energy utilization with our 5G base stations on a “one-site, one-strategy” basis; gradually scaled up the proportion of clean energy by using photovoltaics; built minimalist base stations using the C-RAN architecture; realized accurate service prediction and hour-level cell shutdown/power-off/wake-up, among other features, with our “Power Saving+” smart power saving platform.   Low-carbon server rooms: We fully tapped the potential of existing server rooms through minimalist renovations, increased energy efficiency in newly built server rooms by up to 30% and reduced energy consumption in expanded server rooms by up to 20%.   Low-carbon data centers: We reduced waste of energy and improved efficiency of equipment using technological means such as our cloud computing-based integrated energy-saving solutions; made green renovations to data centers with focuses on improving the cooling efficiency, reducing waste of energy, and optimizing the cooling environment.   Our provincial subsidiaries also explored various initiatives aimed at energy-efficient and low-carbon development. For example, our Xizang subsidiary prioritized the use of new energy, such as solar energy and wind energy, for power supply. It operated 4,075 base stations powered by solar energy, accounting for 34.97% of all of its base stations. Our Zhejiang subsidiary piloted single- phase immersion liquid cooling technology, which brought down the PUE of the server rooms to below 1.1. The Zhongwei Data Center of our Ningxia subsidiary optimized the performance of the data center using AI technologies such as the DCIM (Data Center Infrastructure Management) system and neural network algorithm learning. Endorsing Green Procurement We also extended our green philosophy throughout the life cycle of our products and business. By advancing green packaging and logistics and paperless contracting, among other efforts, we continued to reduce the environmental footprint of our supply chain. We incorporated green and energy conservation requirements into product procurement evaluation criteria, thereby encouraging centralized procurement suppliers to improve the energy efficiency of equipment; we added ISO 9001 (Quality Management System), ISO 14001 (Environmental Management System), and other requirements related to the environment, society and business ethics to our supplier review and evaluation criteria.  In terms of packaging, we reduced the use of packaging materials, recycled packaging waste, and used recycled paper and other environment-friendly packaging materials. In 2021, over 80% of our newly procured main equipment used green packaging, saving 262,000 cubic meters of timber resources. On the logistics front, we improved the efficiency of product entry and exit, reduced the use of wooden pallets through an upgrade to mixed pallets, and shortened the lighting time by modifying the lights, thereby promoting green logistics.  We built an online system digitalizing the whole process from announcement and tendering to bidding, bid review and contract-signing to reduce the use of paper; we realized online procurement based on the online system, video conferencing and remote monitoring, thereby reducing carbon emissions generated by traveling. Institutionalizing “green procurement” criteria Promoting green packaging and logistics Promoting paperless contracting and “no- meeting” procurement

We identify issues that are both important to our own development and highly relevant to the stakeholders from the two dimensions of “relevance and materiality to China Mobile” and “relevance and materiality to stakeholders”. We then develop issue management and disclosure strategies accordingly. In 2021, we identified 19 material issues of high relevance both to our own development and to the stakeholders based on this process. We streamlined the topics of 2020 while taking into account the latest sustainability trends. This led us to update “anti-corruption” to “business ethics and anti-corruption”, “5G development” to “new infrastructure construction”, “information security and privacy protection” to “protection of cybersecurity, information security and privacy”, “coping with climate change” to “implementing carbon peaking and carbon neutrality goals”, “supply chain management” to “responsible supply chain management”, and “charity (including targeted poverty alleviation, emergency relief, etc.)” to “supporting public welfare and charity”. We also combined “social development solutions” and “environmental development solutions” into “digital-intelligent solutions”, added “serving rural revitalization”, and deleted “occupational health and safety” and “environmental management system”. No significant change occurred in terms of topic boundary. 1.

Governance and Economic Performance Corporate Governance Management approach We are committed to the corporate governance principles of integrity, transparency, openness and efficiency. We have developed a sound governance structure with a package of measures in order to create long-term and sustainable value for our stakeholders by efficient governance. Our Board of Directors consists of eight directors, including four executive directors and four independent non-executive As regards board oversight and governance of ESG issues, the Company’s Audit Committee and Board of Directors reviewed and discussed the sustainability report in 2021. The Audit Committee discussed and supervised ESG-related issues reported by relevant departments from time to time, such as anti-corruption, cybersecurity, and employee training and development, and provided opinions and suggestions accordingly. We also revised the China Mobile Internal Audit Charter to continuously facilitate the direct interaction between internal audit department and the Board of Directors. We instituted audits of 5G construction, information security, R&D investment and other focus areas. Meanwhile, we upgraded “on-site + remote + cloud” auditing model, using innovative means to ensure better risk prevention. Risk Management, Internal Controls and Compliance directors. The Board of Directors has three principal committees, namely the Audit Committee, the Remuneration Committee, and the Nomination Committee, all of which are composed of independent non-executive directors. Our corporate governance structure and decision-making mechanism are further improved with their experience and expertise. As appointed and authorized by the Board of Directors, each committee operates in accordance with its terms of reference. Our Board of Directors has adopted a diversity policy since September 2013. The Board ensures that its composition reflects diversity in a number of measures given the Company’s business model and particular needs, including, but not limited to, professional experience and qualifications, regional and industry experience, educational and cultural background, skill sets, industry knowledge and reputation, knowledge of the laws and regulations applicable to the Group, gender, race, language proficiency and tenure. The Nomination Committee shall take into account the diversity policy when considering recommendation for appointment and re-appointment to the Board and continuously monitor its implementation. In terms of internal audit, we have an internal audit department at the headquarters and all the subsidiaries. They give assurance in relation to the appropriateness, compliance and effectiveness of the Company’s business activities, internal controls and risk management in an independent and objective manner by carrying out financial audits, internal control audits, information system audits and risk assessments. They also provide advisory services to improve the effectiveness of corporate governance, risk management and internal controls. Actions and performance In 2021, we held seven board meetings, seven audit committee meetings, one remuneration committee meeting and one nomination committee meeting. The Nomination Committee reviewed the structure and composition of the Company’s Board of Directors. At the meeting, the members had a discussion on the provisions for board diversity policy set out in the Consultation Conclusions on Review of Corporate Governance Code & Related Listing Rules released by the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong. They also contributed opinions and suggestions on board diversity policy and director succession plan in light of the Company’s overall business situation. Management approach China Mobile strives to strengthen internal controls, prevent risks and promote compliance. Our top-level management policies, such as the China Mobile Internal Control Management Measures and the China Mobile Special Risk Assessment Management Measures for Major Projects, specify the objectives, requirements and content for managing different types of risks and serve as the basis for the risk management across the Group. We have a professional internal control and risk management system composed of internal control manuals, matrixes and professional management approaches, which we regularly optimize and update in light of new business forms and models, new businesses, organizational change, etc. Actions and performance Internal control and risk management: We strengthened key risk management and control, conducted risk management by means of risk collection, risk identification, combined assessment, measure decomposition and quantitative monitoring, and formulated 24 measures and more than 30 quantitative monitoring indicators with respect to five key risks. We regularly tracked down the implementation of these measures and indicators and found no major operating risks or losses that occurred throughout the year. We continued to strengthen risk management and control in key areas and carried out special risk assessments on 559 major projects throughout the year, whereby we used the assessment results to inform decision-making and implemented risk management throughout the entire process of the projects. We pioneered digital-intelligent means of risk monitoring and implemented centralized monitoring of major risks across the Group. We built 88 models in 2021, which enabled more effective and timelier risk identification. We embedded internal control requirements in the system and enhanced the IT solidification rate of internal controls from 75% to 80%. This led to more rigidly binding internal controls and more effective prevention and control of human fraud. Compliance management: Based on the “Compliance Escort” plan, we continued to deepen the construction of the compliance management system. The management team emphasized that one should always keep compliance in mind in all processes in order to serve the Company’s strategy and support high-quality

Diversity and Non-Discrimination Management approach China Mobile is committed to gender equality in employment. We comply with applicable rules and regulations, including the Special Rules on the Labor Protection of Female Employees. We uphold fairness, openness and impartiality in hiring. We object to and take measures to avoid discrimination of any form at the workplace. The China Mobile Recruitment Management Measures mandates openness, transparency and fairness during recruitment, and we develop recruiting requirements scientifically and reasonably according to the specific positions. We strictly prohibit discrimination based on race, ethnicity, gender, religion, height, appearance and other factors, as well as the setting of recruiting requirements unrelated to the job duties. We make a point of bringing in talent of different genders and age groups, and in the meantime, given the same competence, we give priority to college graduates from ethnic regions and areas that have just been lifted out of poverty. We also provide jobs for retired soldiers and demobilized army cadres who meet the government’s placement requirements. We lay down specific requirements for promoting equal opportunity and employee Number of safety emergency drills 1 1,230 1,233 11,170 diversity by continuously improving the employment management system and the workplace discrimination supervision and notification mechanism to create an equal, diverse and inclusive work environment.

Development and Training Management approach Guided by the “Powerhouse” strategy, we place focus on the leadership skills, reskilling and professional qualifications of our employees. Aiming for “new, targeted and practical” training, we invest in capacity building, offering both offline demonstration classes and extensive online sessions, combining training with practice, and providing opportunities for our employees to learn and hone their professional skills and participate in competitions. By doing so, we continue to make our training more opportune, strategic, systematic, targeted and effective and use it to catalyze our transformation

 

 


 

 

 

 

Actions and performance1 Implementing the “Helm” Leadership Development Program: We released the China Mobile Leadership Training N5 Model and a matching curriculum system in alignment with the “20-character standards”. We used the model to inform a targeted training plan. For example, we highlighted strategic management and macro control in the rotation training for our executives and pioneered the “team breakthrough” action learning approach, where we used the discussion results to inform management decision-making, thus maximizing the role of training in facilitating the Company’s transformation; for middle-level managers and non-management employees, we highlighted strategy comprehension and implementation, and encouraged the learning of new technologies and sharing of grassroots practices and experience of innovation, thus boosting the roleof innovation in catalyzing digital-intelligent transformation. Promoting the “New Drivers Capacity Enhancement” Package Plan: Aiming for Group-wide knowledge empowerment, we implemented the “All-Hands Smart Mid-End Platform” and “AllHands Products” empowerment campaigns in alignment with the Company’s strategic and overall mission requirements. We strengthened mid-end platform capability application to ensure that all of our employees knew, understood and promoted our products. In terms of core talent reskilling, we organized the “Cloud Reform” and 5G core technical personnel training and certification. We also launched security and software development reskilling programs to drive the internalization of key core capabilities. In terms of capacity building for frontline personnel, we focused on key positions of grassroots grid administrators, and with the “Navigation” qualification program, set up a unified qualification system and undertook the first grid administrator certification across the Group. We organized the “Diversification and Empowerment” grid learning campaign, spreading best grid practices based on the centralized co-learning mode. In terms of senior group account managers and smart home engineers, we hosted capacity building training. For new employees, we conducted the “Sailing Plan” orientation program. We fully utilized the Group-level training bases to offer series training programs that could cultivate practical “seed players” in 5G, DICT, cloud and other technical areas. Creating the unique Online Talent Development Center: In 2021, we continued to upgrade the core service capabilities of our Online Talent Development Center and enabled toll-free data and team learning on the China Mobile Online Talent Development Center App, providing features like speed control, audio play and live streaming to facilitate the study of non-management employees; hosted 484 network maintenance personnel certificate tests, recording over 413,000 participations; offered 94 mobile cloud sales certifications, recording 29,000 participations; improved the relevance and effectiveness of online training through intelligent applications like intelligent customer service, intelligent search and intelligent recommendations.

Labor Rights Protection Management approach In compliance with the Labor Law of the People’s Republic of China, the Provisions on the Prohibition of Using Child Labor, and other applicable laws and regulations, we strictly prohibit the use of child labor and forced labor. We guarantee such compliant labor practices through a mixture of monthly monitoring and quarterly notification system and random inspections. We foster workplace democracy. We explicitly require the formation, revisions or decisions regarding any rules and regulations or major issues affecting employees’ vital interests be determined through discussions with employee representatives or all members of the staff: proposals and opinions should be put forward and subject to decision in consultation with the labor unions or employee representatives in a fair and equal manner. The final decisions on the rules, regulations and major issues affecting employees’ vital interests must be made public. Actions and performance In 2021, we further facilitated the communications channels within the Company for our employees to speak up. Labor unions at different levels allset up a labor union president mailbox based on their respective circumstances, with clearly defined scope of duties and mail handling and reply process that encouraged and supervised the handling of overdue letters, and improved the tracking of follow-up measures. Meanwhile, we developed a number of initiatives focused on safeguarding female employees. For example, labor unions at different levels continued to implement the “Women Contribution” campaign, encouraging female workers to actively contribute to the 14th FYP; the “Women Rights Defense” campaign continued to improve the ability to serve female employees and defend their legitimate rights; the ongoing “Women Care” campaign prompted female employee organizations at different levels to secure adequate services for female employees and help solve their difficulties at work and in life; with the “Women Growing” campaign, we continued to make female employee organizations more vibrant and powerful. In 2021, the percentage of female employees at the headquarters who returned to work after maternity leave was 100%.

During the 14th FYP period, we will rely on the “Seven Assistance Measures” and the “Seven Rural Digital-Intelligence Projects” to advance the construction of digital-intelligent villages. By continuing to keep in place relevant responsibilities, policies, assistance and supervision, we will maintain stable levels of assistance in terms of system construction, measures and volume, and help assisted areas consolidate and expand the results of poverty alleviation in terms of talent, capital, skills and confidence, consumption, industry, and people’s livelihood. At the same time, we will expand our offering of online, cloud-based and intelligent products in areas like new rural infrastructure, industry, governance, education, healthcare, culture and finance to provide farmers, rural families and agricultural enterprises with high-quality and efficient IT services, thereby boosting the revitalization of industries, talent, culture, ecology and organization in rural areas. We also remain a responsible organization overseas, where we give back to local communities by continuously expanding our reach and information service offerings and becoming more locally engaged. Actions and performance Rural revitalization and public welfare: The Parent Company released the Digital-Intelligent Rural Revitalization Plan Whitepaper and the China Mobile “Network+” Poverty Alleviation Documentary Report, fully upgrading the “Network+” poverty alleviation model into the “Network+” rural revitalization model. China Mobile’s philanthropy platform was approved by the Ministry of Civil Affairs as one of the third batch of online fundraising information platforms so it could provide carriergrade support for charity development. We continued to undertake the “Heart Caring” campaign and the “Blue Dream” project, and all the provincial subsidiaries and affiliated units were actively engaged in charitable activities and volunteer services. CSR fulfillment overseas: In 2021, China Mobile International carried out volunteer activities, such as heart-warming activities during COVID-19 and holiday gatherings on the Spring Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival, to bring care to the community.

As such, the Company mainly reduces GHG emissions by curbing the growth of electricity consumption and increasing the use of renewable energy. We have built a circular management system on the three pillars of target setting, close monitoring and continuous improvements. We use the system to implement energy efficiencymeasuresthroughout our production and operations processes, promoting energy efficiency, and low carbon and green development. We keep up to date with national policies and regulations regarding the carbon peaking and carbon neutrality goals. In 2021, we identified concrete measures in line with relevant requirements, releasing the China Mobile Energy Efficiency Management Measures and the China Mobile Management Measures for Ecological Pollution Risk Prevention and Control. We develop specific assessments every year to ensure full compliance with the latest national standards and norms. Actions and performance In 2021, we published the China Mobile 5G Network Energy Efficiency Technology Application Guidance (2021 Edition) and the Notice on 2020 Green Data Center Evaluation Result Announcement to foster the adoption of technological innovations in 5G network energy efficiency and build low carbon, green data centers. We issued a headquarters’ energy saving and emission reduction proposal, calling for reduced electricity use in elevators, green travel, timely power shutdown, optimized heat supply and reasonable temperature for daily hot water, to reduce the consumption caused by thermal power operations.
