Leon Inspection Partners with Carnegie Mellon University to Launch the Smart Sidewalk Guide for Sustainable Urban Planning
Leon Inspection (HKEX: 01586.HK) is pleased to announce its sponsorship of the newly published Smart Sidewalk Guide (“the Guide”), developed by the School of Architecture at Carnegie Mellon University (“CMU”). The Guide marks a major stride in the advancement of eco-friendly and low-carbon urban infrastructure.The Guide is authored by PhD candidate Suzy (Zekun) Li and Professor Vivian Loftness of CMU, with research assistance from a diverse global team. The Guide introduces a “Smart Sidewalk Taxonomy” that integrates green infrastructure, gray infrastructure, electric utilities, and underground systems. It frames Sidewalk not simply as pedestrian pathways, but as strategic zones for urban resilience: managing heat, mitigating flooding, supporting EV charging infrastructure and enabling multi-modal public space planning.Designed for urban policymakers and urban infrastructure planners, the Guide acts as a reference point for decision-making at the intersection of mobility, sustainability and urban design. It calls for collaborations among government agencies and industry leaders to synergize in creating sustainable and resilient future cities.“We are proud to sponsor the Smart Sidewalk Guide and support Carnegie Mellon University’s ambitious work, ”said Mr. Li Xiangli, Chairman and CEO of Leon Inspection. “At Leon Inspection, we believe that sustainability and low-carbon development must permeate all layers of infrastructure — from high-tech clean energy systems to the humble sidewalk. This Guide helps city-leaders reimagine Sidewalk as critical infrastructure for climate resilience and mobility transition. It aligns perfectly with our commitment to ESG, climate change mitigation and global low-carbon transformation.”Leon Inspection’s Commitment to SustainabilityLeon Inspection’s support of the Guide underscores its steadfast commitment to sustainability. The company provides end-to-end climate change mitigation and sustainability solutions, including net-zero emissions advisory, carbon asset development and trading, ESG consulting, and digital low-carbon platforms. Its services range from emission compliance strategy development and assessment, carbon asset financing and trading to ESG strategy and reporting, as well as AI-driven carbon market intelligence applications. The company supports clients worldwide in achieving low-carbon transition across industries such as power, petrochemicals, steel, nonferrous metals, building materials, papermaking and the public sector — helping them fulfill emission reductions commitments and unlock value in the transition to carbon neutrality.Leon Inspection proactively shapes industry standards and has delivered a series of groundbreaking projects, with in-house experts now on the UN’s A6.4 carbon methodology roster. With a veteran team boasting nearly 20 years of experience and a track record of over 800 projects, the company has solidified its role as the preferred partner for leading global corporations and a key enabler of the green low-carbon transition.Through its support of CMU and its endorsement of initiatives such as the Guide, Leon Inspection positions itself as a catalyst for the low-carbon transformation of infrastructure. Leon Inspection views the Guide’s focus on Sidewalk —traditionally part of the gray infrastructure fabric of cities — as emblematic of a shift toward infrastructure that is multifunctional, climate-resilient and resource-efficient.Why This Matters1. Urban surfaces — especially sidewalks — are often overlooked in sustainability planning, yet they hold significant potential to influence urban heat islands, stormwater management and mobility transitions.2. The Guide provides a systematic, taxonomy-driven framework for cities to elevate sidewalk from default infrastructure to strategic platforms for resilience and decarbonization.3. With Leon Inspection’s support, the Guide emphasizes the private sector’s vital role in enabling cities to make informed, low-carbon infrastructure decisions.4. For Leon Inspection’s global network and carbon-asset initiatives, the Guide aligns directly with its mission: to empower global industry leaders to achieve an eco-friendly, low-carbon transformation.The Smart Sidewalk Guide is now available to urban policymakers, infrastructure planners, and sustainability professionals.

Huitongda Network (9878.HK): Echoing the “15th Five-Year Plan” with AI+ Strategy, Driving Quality and Efficiency Upgrades for Traditional Industries and Rural Family-owned Retailers
The “CPC Central Committee’s Proposal on the 15th Five-Year Plan for National Economic and Social Development” was officially released in this October, outlining the blueprint for China’s development over the next five years. The document underscores high-quality development, technological self-reliance, deeper reforms, cultural advancement, and ecological progress — signaling a clear commitment to building a modern socialist economy.As a leading domestic industrial Internet platform that uses supply chain capabilities and digital technologies to empower family-run retail stores in rural areas, Huitongda remains committed to its mission of “Creating a Better Life for Rural People.” Huitongda closely aligns its development with national strategies, actively advancing innovation in areas such as traditional industry upgrades, domestic demand expansion, and creating a unified national market. It also strives to promote coordinated developments across the industrial value chain, which would in turn, support effective policy implementation.The Party Committee of Huitongda Network Co., Ltd. convened a special study session to thoroughly implement the spirit of the Fourth Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China. Aligning closely with national strategic priorities, the session emphasized embracing new technologies, industries, and models while continuously carrying forward the "Three Entrepreneurship Spirit" of pioneering, innovation, and creation. By leveraging the value of its industrial internet platform, Huitongda aims to drive upstream-downstream collaboration across the industry chain.Leveraging Industrial Internet Platform Value to Drive Traditional Industry Upgrading & Emerging Industry Fostering15th Five-Year Plan Proposal: The Plan calls for optimization and upgrades of traditional industries, nurturing emerging and future industries, promoting high-quality and efficient development of the servicing sector, and building a modern infrastructure system. During this period, China will implement actions to enhance and upgrade its service output, and raise the development level of its modern servicing, advanced manufacturing, and modern agriculture industries.Huitongda’s Action: Since the start of the 14th Five-Year Plan, Huitongda has responded to China’s call to develop new quality productive forces suited to local strengths. The company has actively explored an Industrial Internet 2.0 model deeply integrating AI and big data, represented by the “B2F reverse supply-chain model” and “integrated production-and-sales system.” Huitongda has built an S2b2c circulation network that empowers thousands of manufacturers and hundreds of thousands of rural family-owned retailers in real time – acting as a key driver for improving service efficiency in county-level markets.Under the Proposal of the 15th Five-Year Plan, as national economic development centers on "technology + industry + consumption", Huitongda adheres to deepening its smart supply chain strategy. While fully leveraging the advantages of its industrial internet platform and continuously optimizing the "first curve", the company will closely follow national strategies to build the "second curve" and lay out the "third curve". It aims to upgrade traditional industries through the digital economy, strive to develop emerging pillar industries, and foster future industries.Digital-Intelligent Services for Micro-Small Entities: Boost Domestic Circulation, Forge Unified National Market15th Five-Year Plan Proposal: The Plan emphasizes expanding domestic demand, improving living standards, promoting consumption, coordinating investments across both infrastructure and talent, and driving positive interactions and exchanges between supply and demand. It also calls for stimulating consumption, expanding effective investment, and removing bottlenecks hindering the development of a unified national market.Huitongda’s Action: To date, Huitongda is now serving 21 provinces, 26,000 townships, and more than 250,000 member stores in China. By integrating high-quality supply-chain resources across multiple industries, the company helps member stores procure cost-effective and market-appropriate products. Through digital and AI-powered upgrades, rural family-owned retailers are able to modernize procurement, marketing, community engagement, and operations. Huitongda also organizes over 60,000 online and offline merchant activities each year, helping 1-year+ member stores to achieve an average annual income growth of exceeding 30%, effectively stimulating consumption in lower-tier markets.Looking ahead into the 15th Five-Year Plan, Huitongda has already laid the foundation for sustainable growth.Huitongda’s “four-flows-in-one” model – integrating product/service flow, information flow, logistics, and capital flow – has reshaped and boosted the model of the commercial circulation in lower-tier markets. By aggregating fragmented demand and feeding the information it back to upstream manufacturers, the platform enables “demand-driven procurement and production.”Huitongda’s model represents both business innovation and practical implementation of the national rural revitalization strategy. By nurturing new-generation rural entrepreneurs and helping township retailers to achieve digital upgrade, the company strengthens their roles as distribution hubs for industrial goods, as well as channels for moving agricultural resources, thus building connected value chains and contributing to the creation of a unified national market.Under the guidance of the “15th Five-Year Plan,” Huitongda will continue to promote digital transformation across member stores, helping member stores and rural consumers to “source quality products and sell more,” and enjoy equal access to products and services as urban residents. Meanwhile, Huitongda will also invest in both infrastructure and talents, building a mutual digital e-commerce platform powered by its self-developed Qiancheng Cloud AI LLM, and advancing technological, commercial, and talent revitalization to support comprehensive rural rejuvenation.06/11/2025 Dissemination of a Financial Press Release, transmitted by EQS News.The issuer is solely responsible for the content of this announcement.Media archive at www.todayir.comView original content: EQS NewsEQS
