Reduction of Greenhouse Gas Emissions
Our company is committed to controlling greenhouse gas emissions in line with global trends toward carbon reduction. In 2023, the greenhouse gas emissions of our company increased by approximately 97.42 metric tons, representing an increase of 6.68% compared to the previous year. We have also increased the proportion of renewable energy used and aim to achieve an annual reduction in greenhouse gas emissions of more than 3%.
Greenhouse Gas Management Strategies
In response to the global carbon reduction issue, we are committed to:
- Accurately control and monitor the data of Greenhouse Gas emissions
- Propose Greenhouse Gas reduction plans
- Strive to execute the Greenhouse Gas reduction plans
- Actively increase the proportion of green energy use
Goals and Achievements of Greenhouse Gas Emission Reduction
In 2023, greenhouse gas emissions increased by approximately 97.42 metric tons, a 6.68% rise; water usage decreased by 1,224.8 metric tons, a reduction of 5.72%; and waste decreased by 0.5 metric tons, an 8.33% reduction. Although the greenhouse gas emissions did not meet the target of reducing by at least 3% annually, we are committed to actively improving management and controlling emissions sources to gradually reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the future.
Budgeting and Planning for Greenhouse Gas Emissions
Our company's environmental cost accounts for about 1% of the company's output value. As the company's output value continues to increase, we will continue to invest in environmental protection expenses and energy-saving measures to achieve our annual reduction target of more than 3% for greenhouse gas emissions, water usage, and waste.
Energy-Saving Process and Equipment
Our company actively promotes various energy-saving measures, selects equipment with high energy efficiency and energy-saving designs to reduce energy consumption and expand the use of renewable energy. We have significantly improved our factory production processes while actively controlling energy consumption. In 2023, our water usage decreased by 1,224.8 metric tons, showing a reduction of 5.72%. We will continue to invest in environmental protection and energy-saving measures and strive to achieve a yearly reduction in water usage and waste of over 3%.
- In 2023, our water consumption has been reduced by 5.72%, for a total reduction of 1,224.8 metric tons. The total weight of waste has been reduced by 0.5 metric tons, a reduction of 8.33%.
- We aim to achieve an annual reduction of 3% in water consumption. This is mainly achieved by improving production processes and implementing energy saving measures to reduce water usage.
Water Consumption and Total Waste Weight Reduction Goals and Achievements
Budgeting and Planning for Greenhouse Gas Emissions
Our company's environmental cost accounts for about 1% of our production value. As our production value continues to increase, we will continue to invest in environmental protection and energy-saving measures and work towards reducing water usage and waste by 3% or more each year.
Suppliers Management
Our company invests resources in environmental sustainability and urges suppliers to join the effort. We have a "Supplier Management Policy" that requires suppliers to obtain necessary environmental permits and comply with related regulations. They must also identify and manage substances that may harm the environment and ensure proper handling, transportation, storage, use, recycling, reuse, and disposal. We conduct annual supplier evaluations and periodic on-site inspections.
Suppliers Management Regulations
The company has established a "Supplier Management Procedure" and evaluates the implementation of suppliers annually. If a supplier violates the corporate social responsibility policy and significantly impacts the environment or society, the contract may be terminated. If a supplier violates legal regulations and cannot improve in a timely manner, the company may terminate the contract.
Integrity Business Statement
We have signed the “Integrity Business Statement” with our suppliers, strictly requiring our employees not to directly or indirectly offer, promise, demand or accept bribes, commissions, entertainment, kickbacks, improper gifts, or any profiteering. If any supplier's behavior involves a violation of the Integrity Business Statement and cannot be improved immediately, we have the right to terminate the contract.
