On December 20, the Research Center for Economic Development of the Metallurgical Industry and Shanghai SteelLink, in collaboration with leading domestic institutions and experts, officially released the results of the 2024-2025 evaluation for the “China Iron and Steel Enterprise High-Quality Development Index (EDIS).” Thanks to its consistently outstanding performance in the field of high-quality development, Aosen Special Steel has once again made the list and been successfully awarded an AAA-rated enterprise.
For a long time, Aosen Steel has been strategically positioning itself around the development of high-end products, strengthening its industrial foundation, enhancing full-chain management, and boosting the vitality of its ecosystem, thereby establishing a robust production and management system. Receiving the AAA-rated enterprise honor once again not only affirms the company’s past achievements but also provides a scientific basis and directional guidance for accurately identifying its strengths and formulating a differentiated development strategy in the future.
Standing at a new starting point for development, Aosen Steel will continue to be driven by AAA-level standards and stay firmly focused on the main strategic direction of high-quality development. We will keep deepening the optimization of our management system, precisely focusing on key areas such as product sophistication, structural differentiation, and brand value enhancement, thereby continuously strengthening our core competitiveness. At the same time, we will actively fulfill our social responsibilities and strive to co-create a sustainable, healthy, and mutually beneficial industry ecosystem with our partners across the industrial chain, contributing even more “Aosen Power” to the high-quality development of China’s steel industry.

Since its launch in 2022, the “China Iron and Steel Enterprise High-Quality Development Index (EDIS)” has been published continuously for four years. The 2025 edition of the High-Quality Development Index builds upon the indicator system framework of the 2024 edition, adopting a comprehensive approach that encompasses four key dimensions: core quality, supporting capabilities, control over the industrial chain, and competitiveness within the ecosystem. This framework comprises eight secondary indicators—covering development quality, technological innovation, green and low-carbon practices, digitalization and intelligence, development security, supply quality, regional environment, and social responsibility—and includes a total of 32 tertiary indicators. Based on this system, a panoramic scan, quantitative assessment, and scientific ranking of the high-quality development levels of China’s key steel enterprises have been conducted. Moreover, the scope of this year’s evaluation has been further expanded to include 121 key steel enterprises—three more than last year—whose combined steel production accounts for over 80% of the nation’s total output.
