The review team concluded that Xingtai Steel was able to meet the cleaner production goals set at the initial stage of the audit, and that the level of cleaner production indicators and energy efficiency indicators had improved. The main pollutant indicators and major resource and energy consumption indicators were able to meet the requirements of the secondary benchmark values of the cleaner production evaluation index system.

　　For a long time, Xingtai Steel has carried out in-depth, solid, standardized and orderly environmental protection governance and clean production basic management work. The company has set up a special clean production audit team to conduct audit preparations, pre-audit, audit, generation and screening of plans, plan determination, plan implementation and other related work according to the methods, steps and audit work plan of clean production audit one by one.

It has also systematically conducted research on the production status of each branch factory and bench-marking analysis, determined the audit focus and clean production goals of this round of audit, and analyzed material balance, energy balance and water balance for the audit focus. From eight aspects of clean production audit, efforts have been made to identify existing problems, so as to ensure that the clean production plan is more targeted and implementable, and the implementation effect is more obvious.
