SenseTime Named to Forbes China's "2024-2025 Sustainable Development Industrial Enterprises Selection Series", Leading the AI Industry Toward Sustainable Development

On June 28, 2025, Forbes China officially announced the results of its 2024-2025 Sustainable Development Industrial Enterprises Selection Series. SenseTime was the only company from the AI sector selected for inclusion in the Series for its exceptional practices in environmental protection, social value creation and corporate governance.

The selection process, guided by China's "Dual Carbon" goals and the mission to "cultivate new quality productive forces," conducted an in-depth analysis of Chinese enterprises' sustainable development approaches amid evolving global economic dynamics and heightened ecological governance requirements. Focusing on industrial enterprises' response strategies under complex economic conditions and stringent environmental protection standards, the evaluation system identified 40 main-list companies and 8 sub-list companies from thousands of candidates based on four core criteria: sustainable management systems, transformational technological innovation, sustainable development practices, and long-term economic growth.

SenseTime made its debut appearance in the sub-list selection and was the only AI company recognized in this evaluation. This recognition not only demonstrates SenseTime's steadfast commitment to sustainable development but also establishes an industry benchmark for empowering a greener future through technological innovation. The selection committee specifically highlighted: "SenseTime possesses profound academic expertise and maintains long-term dedication to pioneering technology research. Its Shanghai Lingang AIDC has achieved industry-leading energy efficiency by optimizing data center cooling control strategies, successfully maintaining an annual average PUE below 1.285, surpassing industry standards."

In recent years, SenseTime has elevated environmental responsibility, social value, and governance efficacy to strategic priorities on par with technological innovation. By deeply integrating ESG principles into its corporate DNA, the company continues to explore new pathways for ESG development.

As part of this commitment, the company is implementing its "AI-Powered Energy Synergy" strategy, which integrates computing efficiency with clean energy adoption. This initiative aims to reduce power costs while increasing the share of renewable energy, driving the transformation toward a more sustainable energy infrastructure.
