XiamenJune 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The British Standards Institution (BSI) officially awarded BSI‘s world’s first ISO 50100 verification statement to Xiamen Xiangyu Smart Supply Chain Co., Ltd. at the Xiamen Free Trade Global Sustainable Development Innovation Center.
BSI has conducted an independent and impartial third-party verification of the aforementioned full process and issued a verification statement. This move helps Chinese enterprises align with international cutting-edge energy decarbonization rules, build a sustainable green core competitiveness, and set a benchmark for the domestic cold chain warehousing and supply chain industry in implementing the ISO 50100 standard and systematically advancing energy decarbonization.
At the awarding ceremony, Dr. Tatiana Schmollack-Tarasova, Managing Director of BSI Greater China, delivered a congratulatory speech: “Congratulations on the issuance of BSI’s world’s first ISO 50100 energy decarbonization verification statement in the Xiamen Free Trade Zone. This verification statement is a model of government-enterprise collaboration and mutual benefit, thanks to the forward-looking planning and full-process promotion by the Free Trade Zone leadership. This is not only a significant milestone for Xiamen Xiangyu Smart Supply Chain Co., Ltd., but also marks China’s leading position in global decarbonization standardization efforts, providing a replicable and actionable practice path for low-carbon transformation both domestically and internationally.”
As the first international standard specifically targeting energy decarbonization, ISO 50100 builds on ISO 50001 to achieve a systematic leap from “energy saving and consumption reduction” to “precise decarbonization,” establishing a complete implementation path that is quantifiable, planable, and verifiable. BSI has always used standards as a tool to empower global green transformation. It is hoped that all parties will take this as a new starting point, continue to deepen the implementation of standards, fully leverage the benchmark role, drive more enterprises to participate in the standardized decarbonization process, and jointly build an open and win-win global decarbonization community, working together to create a sustainable future.
Wan Yang, BSI’s Asia Pacific Sustainability Director, delivered a keynote speech titled “International Standards-Based Zero-Carbon Park Solutions”. He pointed out that China’s over 2,000 national/provincial industrial parks cover 80% of industrial enterprises, accounting for 60% of the country’s energy consumption and 60% of carbon emissions. Building zero-carbon parks is a key lever for accelerating the green energy transition, guiding deep industrial decarbonization, and empowering enterprises in international operations.
BSI proposed international standards-based zero-carbon park solutions, implemented in three steps:
- Step 2: Develop a net-zero emission pathway based on ISO IWA 42, setting targets, formulating plans, taking measures, and offsetting residual emissions;
- Step 3: Focus on energy-related emission reductions, using the ISO 50100 standard to reduce Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions, with measures including energy efficiency improvement, demand-side management, waste heat recovery, renewable energy substitution, and CCUS.
The Xiamen Free Trade Zone has long been committed to pioneering sustainable development, deeply engaging in the green and low-carbon transformation track, and innovatively building a development model of “government guidance + international standard empowerment + leading enterprise drive + multi-stakeholder collaborative innovation.” The Xiangyu Green Valley project’s receipt of BSI’s first global ISO 50100 verification statement provides a replicable practical sample for building a zero-carbon industrial ecosystem in the region.
