Impact Description
The water consumption, wastewater discharges, waste, and air pollutants generated from operations may impose environmental costs on the planet and affect the ecology and living quality.​​​​ The Company values and actively promotes the Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) activities, to contribute to energy saving, waste reduction, and resource reuse, which not only enhance product quality and production efficiency, but also reduce risks associated with operations and minimize the negative impacts on society and the environment.
 
Strategy
  • Combine SNPM activities (Sinon-Productive-Management SNPM) with Quality, Health, Safety, and Environment (QHSE) improvements, and increase manufacturing stability using SPC method to ensure factory safety and product quality.
  • Develop a strong management mechanism to ensure that the suppliers meet the Company’s standards for environment, social, and management. Pursue environmental-friendly procurement to reduce resource waste.
  • Focusing on energy and carbon emissions, water resources, waste management, and renewable material recycling, the Company has introduced a circular business system and established an energy management mechanism to achieve its energy-saving, waste-reduction, and carbon-reduction goals.
 
Responsibilities and Appeal Mechanism
  • The Occupational Health & Safety Committee and SNPM Promotion Committee reviews the environmental friendly business progress outcomes and improvement measures each quarter.
  • Established the "Procedures Guide for Consultation and Communications Management”. The Environmental Engineering Department is responsible for related business promotion and handling of communications and deficiencies improvements for related issues to environment.

Implement generate accessory product for reuse
Recycled approximately 211 metric tons of solvent, 908 metric tons of salt. The waste sulfuric acid generated from the process was treated and converted into 7.5% aluminum sulfate. 546 metric tons were generated for wastewater treatment.
Recycled and reused the filter residue and scraps generated in the procedures for seaweed fertilizer and bean amino acid fertilizer to serve as useful ingredients in granular fertilizers, which improve the yield and field biological effects of granular products.
Made use of the recycled scraps generated from the procedures to develop the granular fertilizer product.
