Nippon Paint China has taken steps in driving NIPSEA Group's transition to renewable energy sources. By installing photovoltaic panels in 19 factories, generating 12.73 million kilowatt-hours annually, we aim to gradually incorporate alternative sources of energy into our facilities. This first step paves the way for more ambitious goals in accomplishing its sustainability development agenda and embedding sustainable energy practices into its operations.
Continuing its initiative, Nippon Paint China plans to install photovoltaic panels at additional locations across China's six factories in 2024.

The Shanghai factory’s water purification system modification project successfully met quality assurance requirements for water production conductivity while minimizing wastewater discharge. With raw water conductivity at around 600 micro-Siemens per centimeter (μS/cm), well above the 350 μS/cm mandated for production use, the project aimed to bring both raw and wastewater conductivity within the acceptable range.
By installing inline static mixers that ensured thorough mixing of water treatment agents within both the raw water and wastewater streams, we were able to meet the quality assurance requirements for water use. Furthermore, the project team installed four-cubic-meter water storage tanks and dedicated cleaning water pipelines to facilitate the cleaning of the facility’s equipment.
Through these modifications the Shanghai factory achieved a 90% reduction of wastewater discharge, with 80% of the treated water now finding its way back into production processes and 10% for fire-fighting reserves.
