Recently, Johannes Kreissig, Chief Executive Officer of the German Sustainable Building Council (DGNB), and the delegation visited CTC. Chen Lu, Deputy Party Committee Secretary and General Manager of CTC, warmly received the delegation. The two sides held in-depth and extensive exchanges and discussions on business promotion, mutual recognition and acceptance, and international cooperation in fields such as green building and building materials testing and certification, Environmental Product Declarations (EPD), and carbon footprint. Yan Haochun, Technical Director of CTC and General Manager of the Certification and Evaluation Center, chaired the exchange meeting.

On behalf of CTC, Chen Lu extended a warm welcome to the DGNB delegation and introduced CTC's development history, technical strength, and achievements in the certification and accreditation field. She pointed out that CTC, as an industry representative in China's construction engineering and building materials testing and certification field, has consistently strived to promote material technological progress, safeguard and improve engineering quality, and advance the green and low-carbon transformation of the construction industry. She expressed the expectation to strengthen communication and cooperation with international peers, deepen exchanges and mutual learning, closely focus on the opportunities of the green and low-carbon era, expand cooperation potential, and make positive contributions to the sustained prosperity and progress of the global building and building materials industry.

Johannes Kreissig expressed appreciation for CTC's achievements in green building materials, EPD, and carbon footprint. Johannes Kreissig stated that high-quality buildings need to be supported by high-quality materials. As Europe's largest sustainable building cooperation network and a globally leading sustainable building certification institution, DGNB attaches great importance to the technological progress and high-quality development of materials to support the implementation of green and sustainable engineering material selection decisions. DGNB looks forward to working hand in hand with CTC to build consensus, deeply explore opportunities for technical exchange and project practice cooperation, and jointly drive the global building and building materials industry toward a sustainable future.

Yan Haochun introduced in detail CTC's “Four-whole” Ecological Business Structure and its technical services in green building and building materials testing and certification and the dual carbon field.

Both sides highly recognized each other's advanced concepts and profound technical strength in the green and low-carbon field, and agreed that deepening the coordinated green and low-carbon transformation of buildings and building materials is the fundamental path for the global construction industry toward a sustainable future. As outstanding representatives of the China-Europe green building and green building materials industries, both sides will continue to strengthen exchanges and mutual promotion, innovate cooperation and development models, and jointly output positive momentum for the green and low-carbon integrated development of the global building and building materials industry.

Relevant personnel from Solge Shanghai Co., Ltd., CTC Hunan Company, CTC Shanghai Company, the Market Operations Center, and the Certification and Evaluation Center attended the exchange meeting.
