Environmental policy

The environmental policy is established within the organization at all levels of environmental protection responsibility and accountability, and is committed to reducing environmental impact and achieving continuous improvement in environmental performance management. The Environmental Committee was established in October 2011, with a focus on environmental improvement plans and introducing the environmental impact of the company. These tasks mainly support our application for ISO14001 certification requirements. In addition, we have taken global action to sustainably reduce our impact on the environment for our employees and businesses on Earth. In our business planning process, we have implemented the following long-term goals and measures: zero environmental accidents, emergency training for all staff, production staff to deal with leakage control training, replacement of brick built oil interceptors to replace harmful raw materials, and reduction of hazardous waste generation. From 2010 to 2015, we will reduce energy consumption by 20%. We will check the implementation of energy management policies, regularly conduct "turn off" campaigns, conduct regular monitoring and analysis of energy consumption, conduct comprehensive on-site lighting investigations, and implement recommendations. We will improve the heating management system in the production field, reduce waste by 50%, transport waste to landfills for general waste recycling, and generally send it to landfills for installation of glass recycling stations and packaging crushing recycling areas.
