Adhering to the principle of local development and local supply, CSRC actively develops local suppliers and implements local procurement to achieve timely and appropriate procurement, reducing management and operation costs and lowering indirect greenhouse gas emissions from international transportation. Furthermore, this creates local jobs and economic prosperity. It is also easier to grasp the supply status of raw materials and reduce operational risks, and this makes production operations more stable.
