Noah's Sustainable Workplace
Our office is the primary workplace of our financial professionals. Despite concerns regarding domestic waste, air quality and drinking water, it has a minimal impact on natural resources and energy consumption. Nevertheless, Noah has led and promoted energy and resource management initiatives inside and outside the workplace to reduce our environmental impacts.
•Internally, we strive to protect the environment and minimize GHG emissions by adopting electronic systems, reducing paper use in administrative processes, motivating employees to foster eco-friendly habits, and introducing other software and hardware to control energy consumption.
•Externally, we encourage clients to use online services for less resource consumption, and require suppliers to provide eco-friendly products and services under Noah’s sustainable workplace initiative, contributing to environmental sustainability through green procurement.

Note: In 2022,we added a "green procurement" option to the requisition form in our procurement system to promote and select suppliers.
As early as 2016, Noah introduced our garbage sorting program. Besides promoting trash-sorting methods and placing sorting bins in the workplace, we also planned activities such as World Earth Day and Noah Value Day to promote environmental protection throughout the Company and the business park in which we operate.
In view of Shanghai's waste management rules, Noah has followed the 3R principle (Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle) to actively promote green behavior in the workplace. Our employees are encouraged to develop good waste-sorting, energy-saving, and emission-reducing habits and practices. This in turn sets an example for their family members and neighbors.
In 2020, we identified the China Green Foundation-certified Ctrip as our new air-ticket and hotel booking agency. Ctrip not only offers more cost-effective services, but also helps to create a greener workspace for our employees and communities. Through tripartite cooperation, Noah enables integrated management of workplace attendance, meetings, monitoring, and printing, while using customized services to improve workplace preparation. This not only cuts manpower to bring down operation costs but also reduces nationwide workplace carbon emissions. Here, we have built a cozy, comfortable, and intelligent office.
