1. 对绿色转型的贡献价值
支撑欧洲电动化与绿色转型的关键材料供应
在欧洲推进绿色转型与实现“气候中和”目标的进程中，锂离子电池是电动交通与可再生能源储能系统的核心技术之一。锂电池隔膜作为决定电池安全性、寿命和能效的关键材料，对整个新能源产业链具有基础性意义。目前欧洲80%左右的隔膜需要从欧洲之外进口。中国星源材质作为全球领先的锂电池隔膜制造企业，通过向欧洲市场持续提供高性能隔膜产品，为欧洲新能源汽车和储能产业的发展提供了重要的材料支撑。2021年中国星源材质在瑞典Eskilstuna投资设立Senior Material（Europe）AB，计划总投资4.5亿欧元，专注于研发、制造、销售锂电池隔膜，是深度参与欧洲绿色转型的重要举措，符合瑞典及欧盟“支持绿色产业、稳定投资预期”的政策目标。
Senior Material在瑞典强化了欧洲绿色产业本土化生态供应链韧性
Senior Material有助于建立本地化、低碳化、可持续的电池材料供应链，减少欧洲对外进口的依赖。同时，该投资为当地创造就业机会，推动电池材料制造、设备、工程与服务等相关产业集群发展，增强欧洲新能源产业链的自主性与韧性。
助力欧洲电池与整车产业低碳升级
Senior Materia通过与欧洲电池制造商和新能源汽车产业的合作，为欧洲电池企业提供稳定、规模化的隔膜供应，支撑电池工厂的持续扩产和技术升级。这不仅有助于提升欧洲动力电池的能量密度、循环寿命、安全性，也为电动汽车的普及和交通领域的减排目标提供了关键保障，推动欧洲交通系统向低碳、零排放方向转型。
促进中欧绿色合作与全球气候目标实现
Senior Materia在瑞典的发展不仅体现了企业对欧洲绿色转型目标的长期承诺，也成为中欧在绿色能源和可持续产业领域合作的典型案例。通过产业投资、技术交流、培养人才和本地广泛合作，为欧洲实现绿色增长和全球气候目标作出积极贡献，同时推动全球新能源产业向更加可持续的方向发展。
2、Senior Materia促进瑞典经济社会发展等方面的贡献
继中国吉利在瑞典投资之后，星源公司是中国在瑞典的第二大工业投资项目。在瑞典Eskilstuna五年投资超过35亿瑞典克朗，为瑞典及欧洲常年提供了300余人工程建设就业机会。另外公司目前员工130余人，全部投产将超过500人。
五年来，公司累计上缴个人所得税和雇主税约1亿元瑞典克朗，同时带动当地及瑞典旅游、居住、生活消费、服务等社会经济的发展。

The Contribution of Senior Material (Europe) AB to Sweden’s Green Transition and Social Development
1. Contribution to Green Transition
Providing Key Materials Supporting Europe’s Electrification and Green Transition
In Europe’s efforts to advance the green transition and achieve “climate neutrality,” lithium-ion batteries are one of the core technologies underpinning electric mobility and renewable energy storage systems. Lithium battery separators, as a critical material determining battery safety, lifespan, and energy efficiency, play a foundational role across the entire new energy industrial chain. At present, approximately 80% of battery separators used in Europe are imported from outside the continent.
As a leading global manufacturer of lithium battery separators, Shenzhen Senior Material Technology Co., Ltd. (Senior Material) has continuously supplied high-performance separator products to the European market, providing vital material support for the development of Europe’s new energy vehicle and energy storage industries. In 2021, Senior Material invested in the establishment of Senior Material (Europe) AB in Eskilstuna, Sweden, with a planned total investment of EUR 450 million, focusing on the research, manufacturing, and sales of lithium battery separators. This represents a deep engagement in Europe’s green transition and aligns with Sweden’s and the EU’s policy objectives of “supporting green industries and stabilizing investment expectations.”
Strengthening the Resilience of Europe’s Local Green Industrial Supply Chain
Senior Material’s presence in Sweden helps establish a localized, low-carbon, and sustainable battery materials supply chain, reducing Europe’s reliance on imports from outside the region. At the same time, the investment creates local employment opportunities and promotes the development of related industrial clusters such as battery materials manufacturing, equipment, engineering, and services, thereby enhancing the autonomy and resilience of Europe’s new energy industrial chain.
Supporting the Low-Carbon Upgrading of Europe’s Battery and Automotive Industries
Through cooperation with European battery manufacturers and the new energy vehicle industry, Senior Material provides a stable and scalable supply of battery separators, supporting the continuous capacity expansion and technological upgrading of battery plants. This contributes to improved energy density, cycle life, and safety of European power batteries, while providing essential support for the widespread adoption of electric vehicles and the achievement of emission reduction targets in the transportation sector, driving Europe’s transport system toward a low-carbon and zero-emission future.
Promoting China–Europe Green Cooperation and the Achievement of Global Climate Goals
The development of Senior Material in Sweden not only reflects the company’s long-term commitment to Europe’s green transition objectives but also serves as a representative example of China–Europe cooperation in the fields of green energy and sustainable industry. Through industrial investment, technological exchange, talent development, and extensive local collaboration, the company makes positive contributions to Europe’s green growth and global climate goals, while promoting the global new energy industry toward a more sustainable direction.
2. Senior Material’s Contribution to Sweden’s Economic and Social Development
Following Chinese automotive company Geely’s investment in Sweden, Senior Material represents the second-largest industrial investment by a Chinese company in the country. Over a five-year period in Eskilstuna, the company has invested more than SEK 3.5 billion, providing over 300 long-term engineering and construction jobs in Sweden and across Europe. The company currently employs more than 130 people, and once fully operational, total employment will exceed 500 employees.
Over the past five years, the company has paid approximately SEK 100 million in accumulated personal income taxes and employer contributions, while also stimulating the development of Sweden’s local economy, including tourism, housing, daily consumption, and service industries.
