I. Key Functionalities and Manufacturing Processes for Primary
Product Lines:
HTC's primary products are converged devices designed on Android, Windows Mobile and Brew operating systems
(OS). HTC products support voice communication, mobile Internet, multimedia, global positioning service (GPS),
personal data assistant (PDA), e-mail, instant data search, financial transaction services and other mobile digital
services.
The workflow for handheld devices, from R&D through production, is as follows:
Setting Product Specifications ＞Software/Hardware R&D ＞Testing ＞Certification ＞PCB Manufacturing ＞PCB
Testing ＞System Assembly ＞Finished Product Testing & Inspection ＞Finished Product enters warehouse
II. Environmental Protection Expenditures:
Primary products manufactured by HTC Corporation include smartphone and handheld devices. With regard to
production processes, airborne pollutants are generated only during soldering and solid wastes are generated at various
production stages. HTC production processes generate no wastewater.
HTC places a high priority on eectively managing wastes generated by operations and consistently allocates
significant funds to install and maintain pollution prevention facilities and retain professional sta. HTC provides osite
training for sta to earn licenses needed to operate installed pollution control equipment. HTC further implements
internal training programs and conducts audits to ensure relevant pollution control mechanisms operate properly and
eectively in order to continue reducing pollution at HTC. HTC regularly contracts with licensed independent inspectors
to review its operational environment. Every audit and inspection of HTC facilities conducted since HTC was founded
has confirmed that company operations comply with all relevant government rules and regulations.
HTC is certified under ISO 14001:2004 environmental management and ISO 14064-1:2006 greenhouse gas emission
standards. Certification-mandated procedures and requirements further reduce HTC pollution emissions and energy
consumption and move us forward toward clean production objectives.
1. Losses (including financial compensation) and fines due to pollution incidents from the start of the most recent fiscal
year and as of the date of this annual report:
HTC has never been fined or otherwise penalized for pollution by environmental authorities.
2. Future strategies (inclusive of environmental protection facility improvements) and possible expenditures:
> Continue to strengthen operations management in order to comply with government rules / regulations and reduce
accidents, errors and other abnormalities;
> Strengthen waste collection and recycling eorts. Encourage resource reuse as part of the eort to achieve waste
reduction targets;
> Continue promoting ISO 14001 and ISO 14064-1 technical and administrative measures to maximize clean
production benefits.
