Material Sustainability Issues (Materiality Topics)

Pollution and Resource Use

The Company is committed to conducting its business while maintaining the balance of ecosystems under its “Quality, Food Safety and Environmental Policy.” The Company applies the principles of the Circular Economy and the 3Rs in managing resources to prevent pollution and the release of pollutants into the environment, such as sulfur oxides (SOx), nitrogen oxides (NOx), volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and other pollutants. These efforts aim to minimize environmental impacts throughout the value chain and support the Company’s sustainable transition toward becoming a low-carbon organization.

Percentage of Employees Trained in Environmental Management (2025)

The Company recognizes the importance of promoting environmental management education aligned with our policies and practices. Accordingly, environmental management training is mandated for employees at all levels, covering topics such as environmental management, waste management, and safe operations. In 2025, the training outcomes were as follows:

The Company integrates innovation to minimize resource consumption and create value from waste. Through research and development, we have reduced unnecessary plastic packaging, such as by combining powder and oil seasonings into a single sachet. Furthermore, we have pioneered upcycling innovations to add value to waste materials by transforming rejected seasoning packets and instant noodle wrappers into "Eco-Boards" (artificial wood panels).

The Company controls pollution and manages resources through three core practices:

(1) Advanced Pollution Control Technology: Installed Multi-Cyclone and Wet Scrubber systems for dust and gas capture, alongside utilizing Activated Sludge and Anaerobic Baffled Reactor (ABR) systems for biological wastewater treatment.

(2) Circular Economy and Zero Waste: Transitioned to environmentally friendly paper packaging and collaborated with suppliers on take-back initiatives for packaging materials, such as film cores and sauce containers, to promote resource circularity and waste reduction.

(3) Energy Management: Implemented a Steam Ejector system to reduce steam consumption in the noodle steaming process, enhancing energy efficiency.

The successful implementation of the Company’s pollution and resource management strategies has delivered tangible environmental benefits, particularly through the circular utilization of industrial waste and the optimization of water management across production processes.
