This is the report of 2021 submitted by State Energy Information Technology Co., LTD. (hereinafter referred to as State Energy Information Technology Co., LTD.), a wholly-owned subsidiary of State Energy Group.

"Since the company was selected as the pilot enterprise of the 'Science reform Demonstration Action', it has vigorously promoted the integrated market-oriented reform measures based on the mixed ownership reform, which has ignited a powerful engine for the company's high-quality development." Gao Yanchao, party secretary and chairman of the Company, told reporters that the company's net asset growth rate exceeded 12% for three consecutive years, especially breakthroughs in scientific and technological innovation. For example, in the aspect of new energy business, the core components of wind power rotor control system produced by the company are all localized and independent, with the cumulative sales volume exceeding 21,000 sets and the domestic cumulative market share of 17%, ranking first and becoming one of the largest professional manufacturers of wind power rotor control system research and development and production in China.

With the continuous release of reform dividends, The Company has made full use of the advantages given by the "demonstration action of science and technology reform" to explore boldly under the premise of law and compliance, and has become the first company within the National Energy Group to increase capital in the field and complete mixed reform. According to the reporter's understanding, next, State energy information Control plans to launch the listing process at the right time, in order to achieve higher quality, larger scale, faster development.

The reform effect of The state energy and credit control is only an epitome. According to sasAC data, pilot enterprises in science and technology reform have promoted high-quality development through market-oriented reforms, overcome the impact of the epidemic, and generally achieved bucking the trend of growth. In 2020, the operating revenue, total profit and net profit of "science reform demonstration enterprises" increased by 12.5%, 12.6% and 13.7% respectively. The return on equity reached 9.99%, 1.1 percentage points higher than before the reform.

The reform of state-owned enterprises under the State Council leading group office vice director, deputy director of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the State Council WengJieMing said recently, for more than a year, the central enterprises and local state-owned assets supervision and guidance to promote more than 200 families change demonstration enterprises adhere to the market-oriented reform and promote independent innovation ability "two-wheel driven", grasp the reform with high quality, high level innovation, vigorously promote the enterprise development.

"The demonstration action to reform science and technology focuses on building institutions and mechanisms for innovation, stimulating innovation vitality and enhancing innovation capacity. By deepening market-oriented reform, we have created a batch of reform models of state-owned science and technology enterprises and vanguard of independent innovation." Liu Xingguo, a researcher with the China Enterprise Confederation, said in an interview that supported by the continuous emergence of innovative achievements, the financial performance of the demonstration enterprises in scientific reform is better. Especially in the aspect of innovation, the demonstration enterprises of scientific reform have made good achievements, including sustained and rapid growth in innovation input, continuous breakthroughs in key technologies, effective growth in the number of patents, and accelerated progress in laboratory construction.

We will stimulate the drivers of scientific and technological innovation by focusing on research and human resources

September 23, 2021 is a special day for 610 employees of Wanrun Co., LTD. (hereinafter referred to as Wanrun), a subsidiary of China Energy Conservation Group. On this day, the company will grant a total of no more than 21.65 million restricted shares at the price of 9.78 yuan per share to the eligible incentive recipients. It is understood that these shares accounted for 2.38% of the total share capital of the company, and the incentive object accounted for 17% of the total number of people in the company.

"In accordance with the principle of risk sharing and benefit sharing, through equity incentive, employees' personal interests are more closely combined with the long-term development of the enterprise, so as to ensure the realization of the company's strategic goals, maximize the value of the company and shareholders, and strengthen and expand state-owned capital." The relevant person in charge of Wanrun company said that at present, the company has nearly 900 r&d technicians, accounting for 25% of the total number of employees of the company, and continues to tilt towards R&D and technical talents in salary distribution, assessment and incentive, talent selection and other aspects. At the same time, Wanrun company in recent years, r&d investment accounted for more than 7% of the operating revenue, in 2020, r&d investment of nearly 250 million yuan, accounting for 8.56% of the operating revenue.

According to public data, by the end of the first quarter of 2021, 133 of the demonstration enterprises for science reform announced by the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission (SASAC) have flexibly carried out a variety of medium and long-term incentives for core talents in key positions at the level of their own or their affiliated subsidiaries, effectively stimulating the enthusiasm, initiative and creativity of scientific research personnel.

In fact, in 2020, there were more than 140,000 researchers working in demonstration enterprises for scientific reform, up 4.3 percent year on year. There are 56 academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Chinese Academy of Sciences, and 1,666 national high-level talents and 1,769 provincial high-level talents have been trained or introduced. At the same time, the total research investment of science reform demonstration enterprises was 49.03 billion yuan, up 23.7% year on year, and the average r&d investment intensity was 13.3%.

Weng Jiemeng said, the science and technology reform demonstration enterprises to scientific and technological innovation as the "number one task", concentrated enterprise advantage resources, in scientific research funds, scientific and technological personnel incentive and other aspects of scientific and technological innovation work to give full support, effectively stimulate the kinetic energy of scientific and technological innovation.

Liu Xingguo believes that in terms of the specific reform arrangement of the "science reform demonstration Action", the demonstration enterprises attach great importance to innovation input, pay more attention to the establishment and improvement of medium and long term incentive mechanism, and attach great importance to the construction of scientific and technological talents.

"Scientific research comes first, and talent incentive is the most characteristic point of the demonstration action of science reform compared with the normal state-owned enterprise reform." Zhithis consulting researcher Cheng Fangzhou believes that the core task of science reform demonstration enterprises is to carry out work around the core theme of scientific research, and give full play to the main role of science and technology enterprises in technological innovation decision-making, RESEARCH and development investment and achievement transformation, which is the biggest difference between science reform demonstration action and state-owned enterprise reform.

Ensure that innovation results in innovation and innovation through exploration

In fact, in the past year and more, more than 200 demonstration enterprises in scientific reform have achieved certain results in five aspects: improving corporate governance, improving market-oriented personnel selection and appointment mechanism, strengthening market-oriented incentive and restraint mechanism, enhancing independent innovation capacity, adhering to the Leadership of the Party and strengthening party building. A number of representative enterprises have emerged, forming a distinct "head goose" effect within the central enterprises and in the local state-owned enterprise system.

Weng Jieming said that the next step will be in the "science reform demonstration action" has achieved stage results on the basis of further facing the majority of state-owned science and technology enterprises, promote the comprehensive implementation of the state-owned enterprise reform three-year action deployment requirements, high quality to complete the reform provisions; Based on the development law of the industry and the characteristics of enterprises, encourage the active exploration and implementation of reform optional action; We will continue to be goal-oriented and results-oriented, strive to achieve greater results in reform in terms of innovation, vitality, efficiency and talent cohesion, and better leverage the role of the two strategic pillars.

At the same time, in the reporter's survey, some demonstration enterprises of science reform reflect that the shortage of professional high-end talents and the need to further strengthen the core competitiveness are still important problems facing enterprises at present, which to some extent restricts the high-quality development of these enterprises. Then, what will be the adjustment of reform priorities for these demonstrative enterprises in 2022? What specific actions will these demonstrative enterprises in different industries take to deepen market-oriented reform and improve their independent innovation capacity?

"We will continue to adhere to the" to do, should be to try to "principle, strengthen incentive for science and technology innovation, focus on perfecting the corporate governance mechanism, the personnel mechanism, incentive mechanism, innovation mechanism, and strengthen the talent team construction, accelerate the transformation of scientific and technological achievements of science and technology, etc., research more 'small incision, grounding gas policy initiatives, We will also provide stronger guidance and support for key enterprises to solve problems in reform, innovation and development on a case-by-case basis." Weng Jieming said.

"To be specific, outstanding demonstration enterprises in scientific reform should summarize their reform experience and continue to maintain and deepen the achievements of reform; Enterprises with relatively poor performance should thoroughly analyze the root causes of problems and intensify reform efforts to better stimulate innovation vitality and enhance innovation capacity." Liu xingguo believes that if the past two years can be regarded as adjusting and reforming institutions to better stimulate innovation, then 2022 should be a year of fruitful results. For all pilot enterprises in science and technology reform, tangible and outstanding innovation results should be seen this year, and the focus of reform should be on how to ensure that innovation results.

"Improving independent innovation capability is an eternal topic for science and technology enterprises, and the focus of the future should be to continuously strengthen investment in science and technology research and development. Second, we should strengthen the means to stimulate the driving force of scientific and technological innovation. Finally, management innovation is matched with technological innovation to promote scientific, refined and modern management." Cheng Fangzhou believes that in terms of improving corporate governance, the focus of future work should be to standardize the operation of the board of directors, implement the functions and powers of the board of directors, and ensure that managers perform their rights and duties according to law under the overall framework of improving the "modern enterprise system with Chinese characteristics". In terms of market-oriented personnel selection, the focus of work must be transferred to a highly market-oriented cadre management mechanism such as professional manager system. In terms of market-oriented incentives and constraints, it is mainly necessary to establish a whole-staff performance management mechanism under the above rate, normalize the promotion of performance management, and implement the dual performance assessment of organizations and individuals.

"You can be bold and you can go faster. As long as it does not violate the relevant provisions of the central government on the reform of state-owned assets and state-owned enterprises, we can boldly explore and try. "Science reform demonstration enterprises should regard the demonstration action as a comprehensive reform experiment, and boldly explore and solve all problems that hinder or are not conducive to stimulating innovation vitality and enhancing innovation capacity." Liu xingguo said.
