> About TXC > E.S.H > Environmental Planning and Management > Environmental Management PracticesOur environmental safety and health management system relies on a pre-review approach to management:
Consideration of environmental aspects: identification of environmental aspects is undertaken on a regular basis every three years, and whenever there is any development or introduction of new processes, such as the introduction of new chemicals, machinery and equipment, then periodic considerations are applied, to assess and take appropriate precautionary measures or ensure execution of necessary controls.
Regulatory Compliance: quarterly initiatives are undertaken to collect applicable environmental laws and regulations, with compliance assessment audits every six months, deploying recommendations for affects or areas needing improvement, expanded assessments of environmental impacts, seeking to minimize impacts while ensuring the company complies with all legal and regulatory requirements, and providing transparency through simultaneously posting assessment results on the company website.
Establishing goals, targets and management programs: to implement the corporate Environmental, health and safety policies, we rely on determinations consonant with environmental concerns and regulatory processes, to elicit the major concerns or regulatory areas which do not conform with our stakeholders expectations, thereby setting environmental objectives for continuous improvement and enhancement across our corporate environmental performance.
Environmental objectives
In light of the growing international emphasis on environmental protection issues, since March 31, 2010 we have endeavored forward on comprehensive ESH environmental health, energy-saving, carbon reduction, and green activities expense accounting with the Project Code: PE151, yielding objective data of the company's extensive efforts at environmental protection, primarily reflecting environmental clean-up, operational environmental testing, pollution control equipment operations and maintenance costs.
Facility-wide greenification efforts
We strive to fulfill our commitment to internal and external facility-wide environmental cleanliness, to achieve our goals for greenification, with more than 100 full-grown plants/trees throughout our facilities.
Facility-wide greenification
We actively participate in the Hsinchu Industrial Park Service Center, Ministry of Economic Affairs, greenification adoption activities, achieving recognition as the Outstanding enterprise participant in Greenification Adoption for the Pingchen Industrial Center by the 2009 MOEA Industrial Department Northern Industrial Center Administration Section.
Green adoption efforts
Responding to the trends towards international green product requirements and greenhouse gas emissions reductions, since 2006 we have become a SONY Green partner and since 2007 have complied with Samsung ECO-Partner standards for environmentally friendly relationship commitments and confirmation processes, achieving IECQ/QC080000 certification in 2008, observing full compliance with the EU ROHS, EUP environmental directives, the establishment of raw materials and incoming materiel inspection systems, etc. Since early 2010, we have begun our GHG inventory (ISO14064-1) and product carbon footprint (PAS2050) programs, launching our Energy Management System (ISO50001) in 2011, further fulfilling our social responsibility and contributing to achieving our goals of sustainable development.
