SHANGHAI, December 1, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — ZPMC Europe, the regional headquarters of Shanghai Zhenhua Heavy Industries Co., Ltd. (ZPMC), recently published its 2024 Sustainability Report. The report describes the environmental, social and governance (ESG) performance of ZPMC, its regional center in Europe and other affiliates in the region.
In terms of corporate governance, ZPMC has maintained the highest standards of integrity and compliance in 2024, strictly adhering to international conventions and local regulations. The company considers security as its “lifeline” and ensures safe and sustainable development in all areas of its business. During the year, ZPMC completed customer service projects in Wilhelmshaven and Bremerhaven in Germany and at the EECV terminal in the Netherlands to increase customer satisfaction and support coordinated business growth.
In the areas of cultural preservation and international cooperation, ZPMC Europe placed great emphasis on the rights and well-being of employees while supporting the recruitment of local talent and intercultural integration. The company continued to expand its partnerships across Europe, helping to build a sustainable supply chain and industrial ecosystem, and contributing to local infrastructure development and community engagement. In 2024, ZPMC appeared at the TOC Europe Exhibition in the Netherlands and the Offshore Northern Seas (ONS) Exhibition in Norway, and donated Chinese cultural books and ZPMC quay crane models to the HanHua Chinese School in Hamburg.
In environmental management, ZPMC Europe has integrated sustainability into its decision-making and operational processes. In line with EU green transition goals, the company deployed automation and smart technologies to support the development of eco-efficient, smart ports and deliver high-performance, low-carbon, end-to-end solutions. In 2024, ZPMC delivered next-generation bespoke quay cranes to the Port of Hamburg, partnered with the Port of Felixstowe in the UK to replace traditional fuel-powered equipment with new energy machinery, and delivered automated rail-mounted gantry cranes to Peel Ports in Liverpool. These measures have increased operational efficiency while reducing environmental impact, meaning Peel now has greener and more efficient capacity.
