ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT STRATEGYHsin Tung Yang's Environmental Management Strategies

The food and retail industries are strongly influenced by environmental and climate change, and in order to respond to multiple potential environmental challenges including fluctuations in raw material prices and volumes, unstable water supplies, and increased energy costs, Hsin Tung Yang has established and implemented green transformation strategies, and we are gradually establishing a greenhouse gases (GHG), energy, water resources, and waste management system and measures from Dayuan Plant, headquarters, to our channels. In addition, we have also been planning and promoting creative circular economy actions in our value chain. Hsin Tung Yang received the Green Building Label in 2017, and awarded the Clean Production certification in 2018. Furthermore, the same year, we are the first food company in Taiwan to be honored with the Green Factory certification. Looking forward, we will plan to gradually implement related management framework including carbon footprint and water footprint, and continue to advance in our energy conservation and carbon reduction actions, as well as collaborate with value chain partners to research and develop creative circular economy models in the hopes of becoming the leader in sustainable foods.

THE FIRST FOOD COMPANY TO OBTAIN THE "GREEN FACTORY MARK" CERTIFICATIONNo. 1 First Food Company in Taiwan to Receive Green Factory Designation

To stay on top of international environmental protection trends and to lead the food industry toward green production and sustainable management, Hsin Tung Yang began related promotions to achieve the Green Factory certification in 2016. No detail was spared from hardware equipment to software processes, and all staff worked diligently to achieve the dual inspections for the Ministry of Interior's "Green Building" label for factory building and the "Clean Production" evaluation system for production processes. Finally, we were awarded the "Green Factory" certification in 2018 by the Industrial Development Bureau, MOEA, thereby becoming the first food company in Taiwan to receive this honor.
