BHP资产与工程总经理Chris Race、BHP维保主管 Adam Fletcher、BHP中国区采购经理 Tommy Shen、BHP中国区采购专家 Johnny Tang、宝通科技董事长包志方、宝通科技高级副总裁兼百年通总经理唐宇、宝通科技首席商务官何刚厚、百年通销售副总经理萨日娜等领导出席活动。

Leaders present at the event included Chris Race, the Asset and Engineering Manager of BHP; Adam Fletcher, BHP Maintenance Supervisor; Tommy Shen, BHP China Procurement Manager; Johnny Tang, BHP China Procurement Specialist; Bao Zhifang, Chairman of Boton; Tang Yu, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Boton; He Ganghou, Chief Business Officer of Boton; and Ms. Sarina Sa, Deputy General Manager of Sales of Boton.

自从2012年宝通与BHP初次接触以来，双方的合作不断深入。2013年，宝通顺利通过了BHP供应商审核，拉开了双方正式合作的序幕。在其后的两年时间里，BHP与宝通的人员不断交流沟通，加深互信。2015年，我们迎来了合作的重要里程碑——宝通首条输送带在BHP铁矿现场试用成功，标志着双方全面开展大规模合作。2022年7月，由宝通与BHP共同开发的世界首条碳中和输送带正式下线，这标志着双方合作进入了一个新的阶段。正是有了BHP的支持与鼓励，宝通才能在国际舞台上稳健前行，完成从本土供应商到全球企业的华丽转身。

Since the initial encounter between Boton and BHP in 2012, our collaboration has deepened consistently. In 2013, Boton successfully passed BHP's supplier audit, marking the official start of our partnership. Over the next two years, there was continuous communication and exchange of personnel between BHP and Boton, strengthening mutual trust. In 2015, a significant milestone was reached as Boton's first conveyor belt was successfully tested at the BHP iron ore site, symbolizing the beginning of extensive collaboration. In July 2022, the world witnessed the launch of the first-ever carbon-neutral conveyor belt, a joint effort by Boton and BHP, signaling a new phase in their partnership. It is BHP's support that has enabled Boton to navigate the international stage successfully, transforming from a local supplier to a global enterprise.

宝通科技董事长包志方在致辞中表示：“宝通与BHP的合作已经跨越整整十年，今天我们在这里庆祝宝通为BHP顺利供应400公里输送带，所提及的不仅是供货数量的里程碑，更有技术实力、产品品质以及宝通战略理念等方面的快速成长，感谢BHP对宝通的帮助、关心与支持，这是我们双方紧密合作的有力证明，更是双方深厚友谊和互信的见证。”

In his speech, Mr. Bao Zhifang, Chairman of Boton Technology, expressed, "The collaboration between Boton and BHP has now crossed an entire decade. Today, we gather here to celebrate Boton's successful supply of a 400-kilometer conveyor belt for BHP. This celebration not only marks a milestone in the quantity of supplies but also signifies the rapid growth in technological prowess, product quality, and Boton's strategic philosophy. We extend our thanks to BHP for their assistance, care, and support. This not only serves as compelling evidence of our close collaboration but also stands as a witness to the profound friendship and mutual trust between our two entities."

包总还表示，在全球经济一体化的大背景下，我们将继续加强合作模式，深化资源共享，围绕让整个输送系统更安全、效率更高、成本更低，实现全生命周期最佳性能的目标，共同探索新的增长点。面对气候变化、环境保护等全球性挑战，宝通将与BHP携手并进，勇往直前。在数字化转型方面，我们也将共同投入研发力量，利用人工智能、大数据等前沿技术推动产业升级，提升运营效率。宝通还将坚持“绿色发展”的理念，在与BHP合作的世界首条碳中和输送带取得成功的基础上，加大在可持续发展领域的投入，确保合作项目符合社会责任和环境保护的要求。此外，宝通也会不断创新，提供一系列先进的智能监控系统，帮助矿山输送系统实现更安全、更高效、更环保、更低成本的运营。未来，宝通将继续努力，期待与BHP一道为建设一个更加繁荣、公正、可持续的世界贡献力量。

Mr. Bao further conveyed that in the context of global economic integration, we will persist in enhancing the collaboration model, deepening resource sharing, and concentrating efforts on making the entire conveyor system safer, more efficient, and cost-effective. The objective is to attain optimal performance throughout its entire lifecycle, collectively exploring new avenues for growth. Faced with global challenges like climate change and environmental protection, Boton will advance courageously alongside BHP. In the realm of digital transformation, we will jointly invest in research and development, utilizing cutting-edge technologies such as artificial intelligence and big data to propel industry upgrades and elevate operational efficiency. Boton will steadfastly uphold the principle of "green development." Building on the success of the world's first carbon-neutral conveyor belt developed in collaboration with BHP, we will escalate investments in sustainable development to ensure collaborative projects align with social responsibility and environmental protection standards. Furthermore, Boton will continuously innovate, offering a suite of advanced intelligent monitoring systems to assist mining conveyor systems in achieving safer, more efficient, environmentally friendly, and cost-effective operations. Looking ahead, Boton will persist in its efforts, anticipating contributing alongside BHP to the creation of a more prosperous, just, and sustainable world.

BHP资产与工程总经理Chris Race表示：从11年前第一次来到宝通，到现在合作十年之久，宝通不断学习进步，积极探索，为BHP在澳洲、南美等各个场景提供各类输送带产品，是BHP在物料输送领域重要的合作伙伴。当下，在铁矿现场，现有的矿石存在不少新变化，我们的输送场景受到越来越多的挑战，宝通卓越的领导力、锐意进取的研发实力、专注的工作热情，在输送带的研发和生产上重创新，求突破，都让我们无比期待未来双方更多合作的可能性。BHP作为世界知名的综合性资源公司，致力于为全球绿色低碳可持续发展和民生福祉提供有力的资源保障，我们惊喜地看到，BHP与宝通秉持相同的绿色发展理念和决心，期待与宝通携手并肩，共进同行，不断开辟合作的空间，共创合作发展的新局面，让我们在可持续低碳发展的道路上能够取得更快的进展和更大的成就。

Chris Race, the Superintendent Asset Engineering Manager of BHP, remarked: "From my first visit to Boton 11 years ago to our ongoing decade-long collaboration, Boton has consistently demonstrated a commitment to learning, progress, and proactive exploration, providing a variety of conveyor belt products for BHP across diverse scenarios in Australia, South America, and other locations. Boton has emerged as a pivotal partner for BHP in the realm of material conveyance. Presently, at the iron ore site, we are witnessing significant changes in the existing ore, posing growing challenges to our conveyor scenarios. Boton's exceptional leadership, forward-thinking research and development capabilities, and unwavering work enthusiasm have played a crucial role in innovative advancements in conveyor belt research and production. These qualities leave us eagerly anticipating the potential for further collaboration in the future. As a globally recognized comprehensive resources company, BHP is dedicated to providing robust resource security for global green, low-carbon, and sustainable development, as well as societal well-being. We are pleased to observe that BHP and Boton share a common commitment to green development. We look forward to standing side by side with Boton, exploring new avenues for collaboration, and creating a new scenario for cooperative development. Together, we aim to make swifter progress and achieve greater accomplishments on the path of sustainable and low-carbon development."
