On June 24, the 19th Golden Round Table Awards, organized by Board Directors Magazine, announced its prestigious individual honors for Chinese listed company boards. Mr. Xiang Guangming, Chairman of Weiming Environment Protection, was awarded the "Most Strategic Vision Chairman" title in recognition of his exceptional leadership.
The Golden Round Table Awards, hosted by Board Directors Magazine, rigorously evaluate China's exemplary boards and corporate leaders based on comprehensive data and objective criteria. The initiative aims to advance corporate governance models tailored to China's context and promote the healthy evolution of boardroom practices. The "Most Strategic Vision Chairman" award specifically honors chairmen who demonstrate entrepreneurial foresight, resilience, and strategic planning to steer enterprises toward high-quality development.
Since founding Weiming Environment Protection, Mr. Xiang Guangming has established a development philosophy rooted in technological innovation, rigorous management, and team empowerment. Over two decades, he has transformed the company from a pioneer in building China's first fully domestically developed waste-to-energy (WtE) incineration plant into a leading listed enterprise in the environmental protection sector. Under his leadership, Weiming expanded its WtE facilities from Zhejiang’s southern region to nationwide operations, becoming the first Chinese private company to independently invest in, construct, and operate large-scale WtE projects—a milestone in China’s solid waste management history.
Post-listing, Weiming Environment Protection has achieved 10 consecutive years of steady growth, doubling both revenue and net profit. The company also executed a landmark acquisition in the environmental sector by restructuring and acquiring a former Growth Enterprise Market (GEM)-listed environmental firm. Strategic initiatives such as convertible bond issuances and equity incentive programs have further fueled sustainable growth. In early 2022, Weiming entered the new energy materials sector, launching integrated upstream and downstream investments to pioneer low-carbon environmental solutions.
