Group directive

Following the Group Leadership Conference, refining and new materials sector units immediately studied and implemented the conference spirit, aligning with the Party Group's deployment to stabilise refining volume, increase new materials output, drive structural adjustment and quality upgrades, and build the 'one base, two wings, three chains, four new' industrial pattern while advancing second entrepreneurship.

Guangzhou Petrochemical

Focuses on system optimisation for efficiency, market expansion and cost control to expand effective processing volume; plans product mix adjustment—"increase aviation fuel, stabilise gasoline, reduce diesel, specialise"—deepen use‑research‑production‑sales synergy, develop marketable specialty products and raise high‑end polyolefin share while consolidating all‑staff cost target management.

Tianjin Petrochemical

Strengthens integrated, base‑oriented awareness to maximise base development efficiency; prioritises safe production and contractor management, regional resource allocation, exploitation of ethane processing cost advantages, energy‑saving and cost‑reduction measures, and flat reform to streamline business and build an efficient base agency.

Qilu Petrochemical

Pursues the group industrial pattern and modern governance system, enforces safety and environmental bottom lines, expands crude processing and high‑value product output, deepens enterprise‑wide quality and efficiency initiatives, advances specialty product R&D and iteration, and accelerates refining transformation projects.

Refining Sales Company

Drives reform to integrate business and shift toward high‑value carbon and specialty products, deepen use‑research‑production‑sales collaboration, perform global market analysis, build a leading domestic specialty product chain, and optimise operations to reduce costs and improve efficiency.

Engineering Construction Company

Mobilises resources and elite teams for key projects (Tianjin, Zhenhai, Maoming), promotes engineering innovation in energy saving, carbon reduction and multi‑energy coupling, accelerates digital and technology empowerment to move from labour‑intensive to smart delivery, and refines business structure for market competitiveness.

Nanjing Engineering Company

Coordinates planning, design optimisation and resource input for key projects, consolidates coal‑chemical strengths, expands cooperation with leading chain partners, accelerates new energy and new materials project layout and regional market cultivation (Middle East, Southeast Asia, Central Asia), and pursues R&D, lean full‑chain cost control and a shift to technology+engineering services.
