Optimize Organizational Structure and Define Key Responsibilities
In 2024, ZEHO ECO established clear key tasks and further optimized its organizational structure to achieve its strategic goals for the year. Through adjustments and strengthening of the core team, the company aims to ensure the smooth attainment of its annual budget targets.
In the current uncertain market environment, the company is focusing on key elements to maintain clarity and direction. For cash flow management, the completion and collection of project settlements has been elevated to a strategic level, with a first-tier organization for settlement and collection established. The chairman and two founding shareholders lead this effort, along with a team of dynamic young talent from the '85 generation, fully activating settlement processes for 28 projects, laying a solid foundation for subsequent cash flow. The company will also work on supplier settlements for projects to ensure the continued stable operation of the supply chain.
As the team responsible for the company's core business, the ecological environment sector further optimized its focus in 2024, with the vice chairman and president taking the lead. This sector is comprised of a highly efficient management team of nine members, assembled from experienced company vice presidents, and operates under the principle of "group army tactics." It maintains independent assessments and autonomous management to further stimulate team vitality and responsibility, while enhancing the overall competitiveness of the company's ecological environment business through coordination among the investment, design, technology, and construction teams.
As the pivotal team for the company's transformational growth, the digital technology sector will focus on smart water management. A new board member will be added in the first half of the year to lead the business, collaborating with the founding shareholders and technical leaders to form a core team with strong execution and innovation capabilities. This team will drive the integration of digital technology in the fields of water conservancy, ecology, and environmental protection, providing robust technical support for the development of new productive forces in the industry.
Focus on Core Markets to Ensure High-Quality Contract Wins
In 2023, the company actively adjusted its market layout, focusing on key cities like Beijing, Wuhan, Ningbo, and Shenzhen. It expanded its regional market through joint ventures with local state-owned enterprises and leading companies. In Beijing, the company actively participated in promoting the integration of water conservancy, ecology, environment, and landscaping in various districts, having signed a strategic cooperation agreement with the local state-owned Beijing Jinhe Water Group. In Wuhan, responding to the "Yangtze River Protection" strategy, the company took part in the rising small watershed management projects. The joint venture with Zhenghe Hengkuan is now integrating the strengths of both parties and is actively expanding river and lake business. Meanwhile, the company has reached strategic cooperation agreements with several state-owned enterprises such as CCCC Dredging, and cooperation with local governments in Ningbo and Shenzhen is progressing steadily.
In smart water management innovation, ZEHO ECO collaborates with leading technology companies like Zhipu AI, Infrawaves, and Infinigence to promote innovative applications of AI large models in urban-rural safety and eco-environmental fields.

When building the leadership team, the company emphasizes complementary advantages among diverse talents to achieve synergy. Regarding the evaluation mechanism, the company sets clear, comprehensive assessment standards and links the results to promotion, compensation, and other incentive mechanisms, stimulating employee enthusiasm and creating a positive work environment. For talent development, the company develops personalized development plans based on employees' career aspirations and provides diverse training and growth opportunities.
Strengthen Operations Management and Deepen Operations Analysis
In 2024, ZEHO ECO has comprehensively strengthened its operations management and placed special emphasis on the depth and breadth of operational analysis. Through detailed analysis and planning, the company aims to enhance operational efficiency and ensure the successful achievement of business objectives.
In terms of operations analysis, there is a focus at both the corporate level and within each business segment. Each business segment operates on a monthly cycle, closely monitoring the three financial statements. By comparing actual results against targets, they identify operational gaps and issues, making quick adjustments. This allows for early planning of business adjustments and budget achievement pathways for the next quarter. At the company level, the operational analysis occurs quarterly. In addition to an in-depth analysis of the financial statements for the company and each business segment, comprehensive evaluations are conducted on personnel structure and labor cost variations.
Enhance Shareholder Interaction and Safeguard Investor Rights
The company places great importance on protecting investor interests and strengthens communication with investors through multiple channels, allowing them to fully and promptly understand the company's development strategy, business model, and operational status. This fosters a better understanding and acceptance of the company among investors. Additionally, through real-time communication with investors, the company gains insight into their concerns, allowing it to self-examine and adjust operations accordingly.
ZEHO ECO, building on a foundation of stable operations, is actively addressing new market challenges. Through measures like reinforcing strategic planning and execution, market expansion, technological innovation, accounts receivable collection, technology empowerment, and talent management, the company continually enhances its core competitiveness to achieve high-quality growth.
