The Company places great importance on efficient energy management by adopting a sustainable resource utilization approach alongside strategies for climate change mitigation and adaptation. The key management practices are summarized as follows:
Use of renewable energy through the installation of solar rooftop systems at the factory to reduce dependence on external electricity sources.
Upgrading and replacing electrical and air conditioning systems, both in production areas and offices, to reduce electricity consumption. This includes regular maintenance of related equipment such as replacing office air conditioning systems, reducing compressed air pressure, installing inverters for dust treatment systems, and replacing all lighting in the Company with LED bulbs.
Continuous reduction of LPG usage, such as by improving machinery for more complete combustion and upgrading furnace insulation to minimize heat loss.
Reducing diesel fuel usage by replacing diesel-powered forklifts with electric forklifts. Diesel consumption for machinery and equipment is now limited only to the fire pump system within the plant.
The Company utilizes water in both office and factory operations for cleaning and production purposes. Efforts have been made to reduce tap water consumption by implementing projects that increase the reuse of water from production processes, modifying the battery production process to reduce both water and electricity usage, and conducting regular maintenance and inspections of water supply systems in both production areas and office buildings to ensure consistent quality standards. In addition, water-saving sanitary fixtures have been installed in the office building. Furthermore, the Company has undertaken initiatives to reduce wastewater discharge into the environment. After proper treatment, the reclaimed water is reused for watering plants and cleaning floors or internal roadways within the factory premises, which contributes to reducing overall tap water consumption.
The Company has implemented policies and systematic approaches for appropriate waste and garbage disposal within the factory, ensuring no impact on the community or the environment, and full compliance with relevant laws. Waste and garbage generated mainly come from production and operational activities.
The Company is committed to reducing waste, pollutants, and by-products by introducing waste segregation into five categories: general scrap materials, general waste, organic (wet) waste, production waste, and infectious waste. Specific management guidelines are defined for each waste category.
In addition to managing energy, greenhouse gases, resource utilization, and waste, the Company has also established quantitative targets for reducing pollution related to its operations. This includes managing lead in ambient air and the concentration of lead in treated wastewater discharged outside the factory. Action plans are in place to ensure these values remain better than the target levels, as part of the Company's annual business plan.
