Our selected production sites are all located within industrial zones approved by local governments. These locations do not include protected habitats or high-biodiversity areas that are important to Indigenous peoples or local communities. Nevertheless, we remain committed to ecological preservation. With relatively large factory premises, we cultivate appropriate greenery within our facilities to enhance the environment and mitigate our environmental impact. We also reference the Biodiversity Risk Filter developed by the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) to assess the potential biodiversity impacts and dependency risks associated with our business operations. The results indicate medium to medium-low biodiversity risk levels.
Our company manufactures automotive parts using 100% metal materials such as steel and aluminum. All steel scrap is fully recycled, while aluminum offcuts can be remelted and recast into aluminum components.
Biodiversity and No Deforestation Commitment
The Company fully recognizes the importance of biodiversity and no deforestation for ecological and climate stability. Therefore, we are committed to maintaining and promoting biodiversity in our operations, avoiding all forms of deforestation, and further advancing forest restoration. This aligns with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 6, 12, 13, 14, and 15, as well as the Post-2020 Global Biodiversity Framework, to achieve the 2030 milestone of “halting biodiversity loss” and the 2050 vision of “living in harmony with nature.”。
The principle is to avoid engaging in new operational activities (including new factories) in areas adjacent to critical biodiversity regions. However, if it is necessary for national infrastructure projects, factories built near critical biodiversity areas will also adhere to relevant national regulations for environmental impact assessments. This includes assessing and monitoring the risks to biodiversity and forest damage, and formulating mitigation strategies, including prevention, reduction, restoration, and compensation measures, to protect the ecosystem in these critical areas and ensure the goal of No Net Loss is achieved.
- Existing operational activities located in areas adjacent to critical biodiversity regions will gradually conduct risk assessments and monitoring on the use of natural resources and biodiversity. This will help plan responses and reduce reliance on and negative impacts on natural resources. Efforts will be made to achieve a Net Positive Impact on biodiversity in the affected areas by 2030.
- Inventory the current usage of timber products (such as packaging materials) in operational activities and allocate resources for forest restoration, aiming to gradually achieve the goal of No Net Deforestation by 2030.
- Continuously enhance stakeholders’ (employees, customers, suppliers) awareness of the importance of biodiversity and forest conservation.
- Participate in key domestic and international biodiversity initiatives to stay informed about the development of biodiversity issues and plan long-term strategies.
- Regularly disclose progress on biodiversity and deforestation-free initiatives on the official website or in sustainability reports.
