Marking the 10th anniversary of the Paris Agreement, the ceremony attracted over one hundred representatives from government, industry, and academia. This year, a total of 116 publicly listed companies participated in the evaluation, spanning five high energy-consuming industries—steel, plastics, cement, pulp & paper, and semiconductors. In the end, 43 companies received recognition, with only 22 earning the top-tier Excellence Award.
