EIT Environmental Development Group

What EIT Environmental Development Group does

EIT Environmental Development Group (玉禾田环境发展集团股份有限公司) is a Shenzhen-headquartered, publicly listed (ChiNext, code 300815) integrated urban environmental services provider founded in 1997 by Zhou Ping. The company delivers comprehensive city management services spanning urban sanitation, property management, smart lighting, urban greening, waste classification and resource recovery, kitchen waste treatment, and smart city consulting to municipal governments and enterprise customers across 200+ Chinese cities, supported by 180+ subsidiaries and seven regional headquarters. Its technology stack integrates IoT, cloud computing, big data, AI, 5G, and digital twin through proprietary platforms including the Smart Sanitation Cloud Platform, the 数智城市大管家 city management system, and the newly launched Yunshang Zhisuan AI Computing Center, alongside L4 autonomous cleaning robots (Yangguang S100/S200/S300 series) developed through subsidiary Yushu Smart.

Revenue is generated primarily through long-term PPP contracts (typically 3-20 years) with municipal governments awarded via competitive public bidding, with pricing structured as annual service fees subject to performance-based assessments. Secondary revenue streams include enterprise property cleaning (serving clients such as Tencent, Alibaba, Baidu, Vanke, China Resources, Country Garden, and Shenzhen Metro), smart equipment manufacturing (autonomous cleaning robots, drones, sanitation vehicles), and technology platform licensing. The 2025 fiscal year generated 7.722 billion CNY in revenue (up 7.21% YoY) with 558 million CNY in net profit, supported by a 625.84 billion CNY contract backlog.

The business model combines B2G (business-to-government) PPP contracts with B2B enterprise services, distributed through direct field sales to government departments and a City Partner recruitment program for regional expansion. The company is actively transitioning from a labor-intensive sanitation operator to a technology-enabled smart city platform, with strategic investments in embodied AI robotics (Zhiyuan Robotics partnership, August 2025), proprietary AI computing infrastructure (December 2025), and adjacent verticals including EV charging infrastructure, smart parking, and forestry carbon sink development.
