9. SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY REPORT
With its emphasis on promoting communication and quality of
life, HTC's foundational mission has always been a non-
traditional style of design that puts the focus on people. "Iconic
simplicity" sums up our design concepts and our core vision-
HTC hopes that its painstaking design process, and the
innovative cell phones that result, will bring people closer
together and further simplify the way they receive information.
This is our fundamental design goal, and in the future we hope
to continue making style and rich functionality a part of cell
phones and the way they are used.
In areas such as mobile computing and communications
devices, HTC's drive for innovation and its added-value
designs, world-class manufacturing, and global distribution and
logistics capabilities have made it a leading innovator at the
forefront of the global communications industry. But while
increasing the profitability of our operations is important, that
goal must be balanced with environmental protection and social
responsibility. That is why honest management, employee care,
a green environment, and giving back to society have become
management ideals toward which we strive at HTC. We strongly
believe that "sustainable management" is not just a slogan, but
that the combined efforts of all HTC employees will be needed
to fulfill our responsibilities as a corporate citizen.
HTC is concerned with environmental and workplace safety and
health issues because we believe they are the foundation for
sustainable management. Now that implementing
environmentalism and workplace safety and health as part of
our system of management has brought positive results in
terms of ISO14001 and OHSAS18001 certification, they have
become a powerful support in our efforts to create a global
brand.
HTC is additionally continuing to make improvements on an
annual basis in the area of energy conservation, waste
reduction, and recycling and re-use. As the problem of global
warming grows more serious, HTC is adopting a wide variety of
energy-saving measures and has lowered its CO2 emissions to
help reduce the impact of climate change. Energy saving
policies were implemented in 2007. In addition, HTC has set
standards in its green product policies even higher than those
required by related environmental laws and regulations.
HTC's policies regarding its corporate social
responsibilities are as follows:
In promoting corporate social responsibility as a primary
working goal, HTC espouses concepts such honest
management, employee care, a green environment, and giving
back to the society in order to help fulfill its social
responsibilities in the following areas:
>Full compliance with local laws and regulations.
>Protecting employee work-related rights and ensuring fair
employment opportunities.
>Active participation in energy saving, greenhouse gas (GHG)
emissions reduction, and environmental protection work in all
areas.
>True financial transparency management.
>Continuing innovation in products and services to raise
customer satisfaction.
>Simultaneous attention to shareholder interests, underprivileged
groups in society, and support of various public service
activities.
HTC sets a high ethical standard through its outstanding
corporate governance and its responsibility as a corporate
citizen.
(1) Energy and resource conservation and
recovery
1. HTC is actively fulfilling its responsibilities to the earth
and the environment by implementing the Industrial
Development Bureau's guidance project for the reduction
of greenhouse gas(GHG) emissions. Completion of HTC's
inventory of sources and amounts of greenhouse
gas(GHG) emissions in accordance with ISO14064-1
standard is expected by August 2009.
2. HTC regularly measures airborne concentrations of N-
hexane, isopropanol, and lead on its production lines,
they are currently well below the permissible levels set by
law and regulation in Taiwan.
3. Resource-saving designs to minimize water and electricity
use were incorporated into our plants and offices, and
HTC continues to promote awareness about water and
electricity conservation among employees by means of the
following:
• Use of flow-reduced water faucets, installation of water-saving &
low-flush devices in toilets, and use of captured rainwater for
toilet flushing.
• Control of air condition temperature and installation of converter
devices on air condition units to reduce the load on water chiller
units.
• Reduction of electricity use by implementation of time-
