2. Reducing Carbon Footprint Product (CFP) and Managing Carbon Footprint Organization (CFO)

Establishing CFP and CFO Evaluation Systems: Develop assessment systems to analyze and identify greenhouse gas emission sources across all production processes, setting concrete short- and long-term emission reduction targets.

Data-Driven Planning: Utilize assessment results to optimize production processes, minimize resource losses, and enhance energy efficiency.

3. Minimizing energy consumption and promoting renewable energy

Enhancing Production Efficiency: Implement advanced technologies to reduce energy consumption and carbon emissions at every stage of production process.

Supporting Renewable Energy: Invest in solar power systems and clean energy technologies within factories, with long-term goals to expand renewable energy adoption.

4. Transparency in Data Reporting

Disclosure of GHG emissions data in its entirety: Detailed reports on Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions, with intentions to extend to Scope 3.

5. Additional Approach

Building Collaborative Networks: Engage with public and private organizations, such as industry councils, to develop projects that contribute to sustainable greenhouse gas reduction.

Evaluating Carbon Offset Impacts: Assess the economic and industrial impacts of carbon offset initiatives at the regional level to establish a balanced approach between development and carbon reduction.

6. Development and Investment in Sustainable Technologies

Mangrove restoration: Expand mangrove habitats to enhance carbon absorption and sustain the equilibrium of the marine ecosystem.
Developing Carbon Capture Technology Apply advanced technologies through the Blue Carbon project in high-potential areas to maximize carbon sequestration.
Invest in renewable energy systems, such as solar rooftops, to enhance the eco-friendly production process, and implement Smart Energy Management system to regulate and improve energy efficiency across all process.

7. Carbon Footprint Management

Carbon Reduction Potential Assessment: Utilize information from CFP (Carbon Footprint of Products) and CFO (Carbon Footprint of Organization) to analyze carbon emission sources throughout all production processes.
Transparent Reporting: Disclose carbon reduction data openly and continuously refine action plans to align with sustainability goals.
Utilize the CFP and CFO assessment outcomes to enhance production processes, thereby minimizing carbon emissions and augmenting energy efficiency.

8. Minimizing energy consumption and advocating for clean energy

Investment in Renewable Energy: Install solar cell systems in manufacturing facilities and promote clean energy usage in production processes. Develop a long-term strategy for expanding renewable energy adoption.
Enhancing Energy Efficiency: Implement energy-saving equipment and production technologies, such as Steam Ejectors, Absorption Chillers, and improved thermal insulation practices.
The Smart Energy Management Project: Implements automated energy control systems, including motion sensors and real-time energy monitoring systems.

9. Fostering understanding and awareness within the organization

Employee Training Programs: Develop and implement training sessions to enhance employee understanding of climate change and its impacts.
Promoting a Culture of Sustainability: Foster a culture of sustainability among employees across all levels.
Sustainability Engagement Initiatives: Organize programs such as recycling projects, ESG DNA events, and Environment Week to promote a sustainability-driven corporate culture.

10. Personal Training and Development

The Company has organized training to enhance knowledge and understanding of environmental and greenhouse gas management across all levels. This includes courses on Carbon Footprint Management (CFO), energy conservation, waste management, emergency response, and safe operations, as well as improving access to information through various channels such as the intranet, email, and ongoing exhibitions.

11. Planning for carbon footprint assessment

In 2024, the Company undertook a comprehensive review and evaluation of the Corporate Carbon Footprint (CFO) in partnership with TGO-certified companies, including ECEE CO., LTD., and broadened the assessment's scope to encompass additional units within the organization.

12. Enhancement of training and activities

The company seeks to enhance employee engagement in activities in 2024 compared to the previous year, emphasizing initiatives that foster learning and involvement, including energy conservation projects, waste reduction efforts, and improvements in resource efficiency.
