In November 2025, at the China Corner side event of the 30th United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP30) held in Belém, Brazil, an "albino giant panda" plush toy became the focus of attention among attendees. Wu Qi, Marketing Director of Tongyi Petrochemical, took this occasion to reveal the profound significance behind this initiative to the global public.
In his speech, Wu Qi pointed out: "This panda has lost its distinctive black-and-white appearance due to a genetic mutation—a natural phenomenon that resembles a 'systemic mutation.' Our planet's ecosystem is facing an even deeper crisis due to climate change. Therefore, we hereby formally call on everyone to pay attention to the Earth’s 'genetic mutation.'"
On site, this unique white panda served as a visual symbol, vividly reflecting the real-world impacts of climate change and resonating with delegates on urgent issues such as glacier retreat and coral bleaching.
As a Chinese emissions reduction enterprise that translates commitments into action, Tongyi Petrochemical’s efforts have gained authoritative recognition. The international agency Wind awarded it an AAA ESG rating, while its achievement of reducing carbon emissions by 102,000 tons throughout 2024—equivalent to the ecological benefits of planting 4.64 million trees—provides solid evidence in support of its advocacy.
When asked why the "white giant panda" was chosen as the messenger for this climate conference, Wu Qi explained: "Our role is dual: we must provide practical solutions through innovative low-carbon technologies and products, while also using this emotionally resonant approach to awaken broader environmental awareness and drive collective action."
