Chang Zhangli pointed out that in 2025, the General Institute pressed ahead on the road of high-quality development under pressure and wrote a development answer sheet with "six new", which fully reflected the spirit of being aggressive and taking responsibility. During the "14th Five-Year Plan" period the General Institute adhered to the core business of "research and development of non-metallic materials", adhered to the concept of innovation-led and technology serving the country and focused on the goal of becoming a world-class technology-based enterprise. With the advantage of financing from two listed companies and enterprises preparing for listing, and the precious scientific research composed of old, middle-aged and young scientists, the General Institute has demonstrated its outstanding strength in the integration of scientific and technological innovation and industrial integration
In line with the spirit of the group's annual meeting and the characteristics of the "15th Five- Plan" stage, Chang Zhangli took "stable operation, risk prevention, strong main business, transformation promotion, emphasis on innovation, reform, strong party building, and solid foundation as the main thread, and focused on the implementation of the "five major battlefields" to put forward requirements. First, fight the battle of value enhancement, through strategic guidance ofaddition and multiplication", the determination of "subtraction", and the systematic thinking of "division", to improve efficiency and potential from assets and management. Focusing key links in the industrial chain, increase investment, accelerate the transformation of innovative value; resolutely divest non-main business and non-advantage business, reduce the number of entities and the scale of "two gold"; optimize asset structure, promote asset capitalization and marketization, and enhance the ability to leverage external resources. Second, fight the battle innovation-led, from technology supply to strategic leadership, and strive to be the source of original technology. Deeply integrate into national strategy and industry needs, and establish a "ind issues, science and technology answers, market marking" mechanism; build a strong digital base, promote the integration of CBMA R&D large models and R&D scenarios, and an open and shared innovation platform; deepen the integration of industry, education, research and use, and international science and technology cooperation, and build an innovation ecology. Third, the battle of industrial upgrading, from support services to incubation and leadership, and create a high-quality development engine. Innovation empowers the basic building materials field, serving the needs major engineering construction and urban renewal; deepening strategic cooperation with leading automotive enterprises, promoting the deep integration of scientific and technological innovation and industrial innovation, and layout key areas such as automotive weighting and low-altitude economy; strengthening the supply of green technology, building a carbon management system; promoting the technology standard going out, and providing systematic solutions for the "elt and Road" countries. Fourth, fight the battle of reform-empowered, break down the barriers of the system and mechanism, deepen the reform of the scientific and technological model, establish a general technology research institute, and implement the "nameplate leader" and "race mechanism"; improve the long-term incentive and classification evaluation system, and give research teams more autonomy; strengthen risk prevention and control and compliance management, and ensure the safety of state-owned assets. Fifth, fight the battle of party building quality improvement, with-quality party building to lead and guarantee high-quality development, continue to study and implement the important instructions of General Secretary Xi Jinping on the work of central enterprises, and promote integration of party leadership into corporate governance; build a strong cadre and talent team, and do a good job in "attraction, training, use, and retention"; deep the comprehensive and strict governance of the party, strengthen political supervision and supervision in key areas, and cultivate a clean and healthy political ecology.

The operating performance met the expectations, and historic leap was achieved from key breakthroughs to systematic leaps, from quantitative accumulation to qualitative changes.
First, strengthen the core business and focus on the core main business to achieve a leap in value. Closely follow the national strategy the overall situation of the group, take the lead in undertaking 27 national key R&D and major special projects, 117 provincial and ministerial-level scientific projects, break through multiple "bottleneck" technologies, and provide hard support for major projects. During the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, a development with strategic emerging industries as the absolute dominant force was formed. Deepen collaborative going global, promote the construction of "patent-standard-brand" trinity, and continuously enhance the influence. Second, do the subtraction precisely, strictly control risk hidden dangers, and optimize asset quality. Resolutely divest non-main business, low-synergy business reduce multiple inefficient legal persons and non-essential subsidiaries during the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, withdraw from multiple equity investments, and achieve a "double decrease of more than 10% in the loss rate and loss amount, effectively dispose of inefficient assets, optimize asset structure, and build a risk defense line. Third, do the excellently, innovate collaborative empowerment, and release the power of multiple increases. Use the 75th anniversary of the founding of the institute as an opportunity to refine the spirit the general institute, and win the "ESG Outstanding Central Enterprise Golden Bull Award". Deepen the reform of the mechanism, implement the "three definitions" and "three" mechanisms, and increase the incentive force for scientific research personnel. Construct a new paradigm of digital R&D, build a multi-party collaborative innovation platform, introduce 7 Chinese foreign academicians, and achieve remarkable internal collaborative results. Fourth, do the division practically, consolidate the talent foundation, and build organizational protection. Strengthen the leadership of the, innovate the "3 N" theoretical learning mode. Optimize the talent structure, establish a "youth backbone leading" training model, introduce 22 in the past two years, strictly control the total number of personnel to improve the quality of talents. Strictly supervise and discipline, and nourish a clean and upright ecology.
