LEAD Unveils Its Inaugural Climate Action White Paper
WUXI, China, June 05, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- On June 5, 2025, coinciding with the 54th World Environment Day, Wuxi Lead Intelligent Equipment Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "LEAD") launched its first White Paper on Climate Action—a significant milestone in China's new energy equipment sector. This report, aligned with the TCFD (Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures) framework, outlines LEAD's climate initiatives and proposes a replicable model for global low-carbon transformation. Commitment to Carbon Neutrality LEAD is the first in China's new energy equipment industry to announce carbon neutrality goals, pledging to achieve carbon peaking by 2030 and carbon neutrality by 2035 in its core operations (Scope 1 and 2). To support this, LEAD has established a three-tier climate governance structure led by its Board of Directors, reinforcing employee accountability for emission reductions. By the end of 2024, LEAD completed carbon footprint assessments for several key products, two of which earned ISO 14067 certifications. LEAD regularly conducts GHG (Greenhouse Gas) accounting and verification in accordance with ISO 14064 and the GHG Protocol, underscoring its commitment to transparency. Innovative Green Operations LEAD has adopted systematic practices in operational management. Its plant in Naila, Germany, operates entirely on green electricity, while a domestic rooftop photovoltaic project aims to generate over 10,000MWh of electricity annually in its first phase. By 2024, LEAD's digital energy management platform had saved approximately 1,680 MWh of electricity, and an optimized logistics packaging initiative had reduced around 674,900 tonnes of CO₂e. Furthermore, in April 2025, LEAD's factory at No.18, Xinzhou Road, Wuxi, became the first in China's intelligent equipment industry to receive ISO 14068 Carbon Neutrality Certification, demonstrating the viability of low-carbon transformation. Collaborating for a Low-Carbon Future LEAD recognizes that energy transformation requires collaboration across the entire industry chain. It prioritizes "high efficiency and energy conservation" in product design, offering sustainable solutions while expanding its industrial footprint. LEAD provides intelligent, efficient and low-consumption manufacturing solutions for lithium-ion batteries, photovoltaics, hydrogen energy, and energy storage. Notably, LEAD is advancing solid-state battery technology through innovations in dry electrode and ultra-thin electrolyte film production—driving the new energy industry toward lower energy consumption and higher energy density. Sustainability is LEAD's core mission, and the company is committed to promoting low-carbon practices and collaborating across the value chain to cultivate a thriving green ecosystem.

Morrisey announces foster care reforms, promises transparency as struggling system moves forward
Gov. Patrick Morrisey on Wednesday, May 28, 2025, announced a series of reforms that he said will end 'years of bureaucratic stonewalling' from within the state's troubled foster care agency and begin a 'new era of transparency.' (West Virginia Office of Gov. Patrick Morrisey video screenshot) Following years of issues within the state's foster care system, Gov. Patrick Morrisey on Wednesday announced a series of reforms that he said will end 'years of bureaucratic stonewalling' from within the agency and begin a 'new era of transparency.' The proposed changes are partially the result of a statewide listening tour, where Morrisey and other officials — including the new Department of Human Services Secretary Alex Mayer — heard from residents on challenges they've faced from the state agency in charge of child welfare. At those listening sessions, West Virginians shared stories lamenting lack of communication from the state's Child protective Services workers and other issues that have occurred due to the system being inconsistent, short on staff and offering limited support for many traumatized children. The reforms announced by Morrisey on Wednesday include: Having DoHS fully comply with the Child Abuse Prevention and Treatment Act and follow federal guidelines requiring the public disclosure of key information in child abuse or neglect cases resulting in fatalities or near fatalities Overhauling the state's Child Welfare Dashboard to make it easier to interpret and more user friendly Requiring supervisors to conduct monthly reviews with their child welfare cases and work with the governor's office to identify opportunities for improvement. The state will also launch a department-wide 'Leadership Education and Development' (LEAD) initiative to train DoHS supervisors. Creating a Critical Incident Review Team that will conduct a 'deeper dive' into any critical incident that occurs Introducing a Comprehensive Practice Model to provide a framework that can be standardized across the state Allowing caseworkers to gather more comprehensive information on cases rather than relying solely on the referral process There are currently more than 6,100 children in West Virginia's foster care system. That number has skyrocketed during the state's drug crisis. The state's high poverty rate has contributed to the number, as well. The new reforms as well as the recent statewide listening sessions were initiated after several high-profile incidents of child abuse and mistreatment occured in West Virginia in recent years. Reporters investigating the incidents were often stonewalled by the state government, unable to get information about the events or the circumstances that led up to them. 'In previous years, the state stonewalled about the status of children in its care — and that changes now,' Morrisey said on Wednesday. 'We are rolling up our sleeves and getting to work. West Virginians deserve a child welfare system that is transparent, accountable and always puts the safety of children first.' Morrisey appointed Mayer to oversee DoHS in January. The 37-year-old came to the Mountain State from South Dakota, where he worked for the state government on the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program and the child welfare system. Before getting involved in state government, Mayer was adopted. He spent time in the military before working at a residential facility serving people with severe mental illnesses. In an interview with West Virginia Watch earlier this month, Mayer said he was focusing his first few months on learning where and how the state could increase specialized care for children who need additional services, increase consistency in the state agency's processes and recruiting foster families to help care for children already in the system. This legislative session, lawmakers — who have struggled in recent years to get a handle on DoHS spending — allocated more than $300 million to foster care. The 2026 budget bill mandated that the agency spend some money on designated line items to prevent it from shifting money around to pay bills. But Morrisey vetoed that idea, saying it was too restrictive for DoHS. Morrisey — who made reigning in state spending a key tenet of his first legislative session as governor — also vetoed line item funding for programs that support foster children as well as babies born with Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome. Mayer said he doesn't believe that more funding will solve the issues clearly present in West Virginia's child welfare system. Instead, he said, the state will likely rely on partnerships with the faith-based community, businesses and others that provide services to help children and families. On Wednesday, Mayer said he realized that change is long overdue for both the state's children and the adults who attempt to care for them. 'For far too long, we've asked families and frontline professionals to navigate a system that has not kept pace with the complexities our families and children face today. That must change,' Mayer said. 'We are listening — intentionally — and using that feedback to shape a more responsive, accountable and transparent system built on trust.'
