Recently, with the support of Carbon Newture, Suzhou Xinlong Ultra Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as “Xinlong”) completed its annual corporate greenhouse gas (GHG) inventory and obtained a verification certificate issued by the authoritative third-party certification body CTI. The inventory was conducted in accordance with ISO 14064-1 and covered Category 1 through Category 4 GHG emissions.
As a professional manufacturer of medical and anti-static cleanroom products, Xinlong aligns its development with China’s carbon peaking and carbon neutrality goals, proactively responding to downstream customers in the semiconductor, biopharmaceutical, and food sectors that demand both high quality and low carbon performance. By completing this carbon inventory and certification, Xinlong has strengthened its carbon data foundation, laying a solid basis for meeting green supply chain entry requirements and advancing future energy-saving and emission-reduction initiatives.
01 Leveraging a Technical Foundation to Capture Low-Carbon Transition Opportunities
Suzhou Xinlong Ultra Technology Co., Ltd. is a modern enterprise specializing in the manufacture of medical and anti-static cleanroom products. Its core business covers the R&D and production of a full range of products, including cleanroom fabrics, dust-free sterile garments, anti-static footwear, and sterilization consumables. The company operates three production bases with a total facility area of 8,000 m², equipped with intelligent systems such as laser cutting, enabling efficient monthly output of 60,000 cleanroom garment sets and 30,000 pairs of anti-static shoes. As an ISO 9001–certified enterprise, Xinlong has long served industries such as semiconductors, biopharmaceuticals, and food, delivering high-standard solutions through professional expertise and reliable fulfillment.
Against the backdrop of intensifying global climate action, Xinlong has keenly recognized the growing “greenization” of supply chain procurement standards among downstream clients. As low-carbon transitions accelerate across the semiconductor, biopharmaceutical, and food industries, supply chain leaders are not only transforming their own operations but also cascading green requirements upstream—posing new sustainability challenges for Xinlong.
Case in point: Lindström, a key downstream client
Nearly 70% of Lindström’s total carbon footprint stems from textiles, energy and electricity consumption, and customer deliveries. The largest emissions category is “Purchased Goods and Services” (Scope 3, Category 1), accounting for as much as 31%. This indicates that nearly one-third of Lindström’s carbon emissions originate from textile manufacturing processes carried out by upstream suppliers.

Accordingly, while advancing its own decarbonization efforts, Lindström must collaborate with upstream suppliers to reduce emissions. To this end, the company is transmitting decarbonization pressure to suppliers such as Xinlong through progressively stringent green requirements:
Quantified targets: By 2025, specific renewable energy transition targets will be set for key suppliers.
Long-term mechanisms: Suppliers will be required to monitor emissions and establish emissions roadmaps.
Stronger commercial integration: Development targets will be embedded into supplier and subcontractor contracts to ensure alignment with Lindström’s decarbonization goals.
02 Building a Carbon Management System to Reinforce Green Competitiveness
To seize early-mover advantages in the global restructuring of green supply chains and align with the low-carbon access standards of core clients such as Lindström, Xinlong swiftly initiated a full value chain carbon management strategy.
With the support of Carbon Newture, Xinlong conducted a comprehensive assessment and accounting of direct emissions, indirect emissions, and upstream and downstream value chain carbon data. The company completed its annual organizational-level GHG inventory and obtained CTI certification. This milestone signifies Xinlong’s transition from abstract low-carbon concepts to precise, traceable carbon data assets, enabling value alignment with brand clients in decarbonization actions. More importantly, it marks a strategic shift from compliance-driven response to proactive carbon management.
Looking ahead, Xinlong will leverage its transparent carbon management system to implement decarbonization measures such as photovoltaic installation, green technology upgrades, logistics fleet electrification, and green office initiatives. By advancing low-carbon upgrades across its manufacturing system, the company aims to transform new quality productive forces into core green competitiveness, positioning itself as an indispensable strategic partner on downstream brands’ carbon neutrality journey and jointly accelerating the transition toward a lower-carbon, more sustainable future.
