In recent years, the Party and the State have proposed to promote the opening of environmental protection facilities and urban sewage and waste treatment facilities to the public, so as to protect the public’s knowledge, participation and supervision of environmental protection, stimulate the public sense of responsibility for environmental protection, and enhance public awareness of building ecological civilization and beautiful China.
      Operators of environmental protection facilities in Suzhou actively respond to such call, and follow the unified deployment of the competent departments of the Suzhou government. Through integrated arrangements and standardized management, they give full play to the demonstration role of environmental protection, and seriously promote the opening of environmental protection facilities to the public.  As a result, a number of exemplary organizations and individuals with a strong sense of environmental services and outstanding performance of public openness emerged.  In recognition of the exemplary, to motivate the city’s environmental protection facilities operators to better carry out public openness, Suzhou Municipal Ecology and Environment Bureau seriously carried out the selection of 2021 exemplary organizations and individuals for opening environmental protection facilities to the public. After a process including grassroots recommendation, preliminary screening, and strict evaluation by the organizing committee, public voting and public announcement, Kangda Environmental Protection Suzhou Water Affairs Co., Ltd. (Suzhou Water Affairs) won the title of “Exemplary Organization” for its outstanding performance, and General Manager Du Wenju was elected “Exemplary Individual”. 
      These two titles reflect the full recognition of Suzhou Water Affairs’ outstanding performance in promoting the opening of environmental protection facilities by the government’s environmental protection department, and are the result of the company’s long-term insistence on serious ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) work. Suzhou Water Affairs will take this opportunity to make more efforts to do a good job in sewage treatment facilities, equipment operation and sewage treatment to meet the standards of discharge, to promote the construction of the urban environment in Suzhou, and make greater contributions to the overall improvement of the quality of ecological civilization of citizens.
