Green factories in China, as the primary entities for implementing green manufacturing, serve as core components of the green manufacturing system, emphasizing the greening of production processes. These factories are characterized by intensive land use, clean production, waste resource utilization, and low-carbon energy consumption. In alignment with industry demands and national policies, the gold industry has established a green and low-carbonstandard system, where green factory construction and evaluation form a critical part. This system prioritizes the research and development of energy-saving and ' environt nentally friendly technologies, processes, and equipment, strengthens green management throughout the product lifecycle, and guides the industry toward green and low-carbon development. The goal is to build an efficient, clean, Iow-carbon, and circular green manufacturing system for the gold industry, advancing ecological civilization. This paper discusses the progress of national green factory initiatives. the development of green manufacturing standards in the gold industry, existing practices in green factory construction, specifie reco nmendations for industry implementation, and the significance and impact of green factories, aiming to explore pathways for green factory development in the gold sector.
