2. Environmental Protection Expenditures
HTC Corporation manufactures smartphone. With regard to production processes, airborne pollutants are
generated only during soldering and solid wastes at various production stages. HTC's production processes do not
generate no wastewater.
HTC places a high priority on effectively managing wastes generated by operations and consistently allocates
significant funds to install and maintain pollution prevention facilities and retain professional staff. HTC provides
offsite training for staff to earn licenses needed to operate pollution control equipment. HTC further implements
internal training programs and conducts audits to ensure relevant pollution control mechanisms operate properly
and effectively. HTC regularly contracts independent licensed inspectors to review its operational environment. Audit
and inspections of HTC facilities conducted since HTC was founded confirmed that company operations comply with
relevant government rules and regulations.
HTC is certified OHSAS18001:2007 occupational health and safety management system, ISO 14001:2004
environmental management, ISO 14064-1:2006 greenhouse gas emission standards and ISO50001:2011 energy
management standard. 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 not been fined or penalized for pollution by environmental authorities.
(2) Future strategies (inclusive of environmental protection facility improvements) and possible
expenditures:
a. Continue to strengthen operations management in order to comply with government rules and regulations
and reduce accidents, errors and other abnormalities;
b. Strengthen waste collection and recycling efforts. Encourage resource reuse as part of the effort to achieve
waste reduction targets;
c. Continue promoting ISO 14001 environmental management, ISO 14064-1 technical and administrative
measures and ISO50001 energy management standard to maximize clean production benefits.
d. Major planned environmental expenditures over the next 2 years include:

(3) Environmental Protection and Employee Health & Safety Measures
Environmental Protection:
HTC is committed to operating healthy and safe work environments. HTC adheres to all local environmental
protection regulations. Cardboard boxes, containers and plastic packaging material are collected and separated
for recycling. HTC requires suppliers to comply with EU WEEE and RoHS environmental requirements in order
to reduce industrial waste, prevent pollution, and offer consumers products that reflect HTC's low environmental
impact commitment.
HTC is committed to environmental responsibility, HTC monitors its greenhouse gas sources and emissions in
compliance with ISO 14064-1 standards. HTC also follows ISO 50001 energy management standards to promote
effective energy management, and to achieve long-run sustainability and competitiveness.
Associated procedures include:
a. Track greenhouse gas emission to monitor type and amount of energy resources currently being used. Use
data to draft action plan for energy conservation;
b. Recertification of greenhouse gas records conducted by licensed, independent certification agency
annually (certificate issued);
c. Voluntarily release annual greehouse gas emissions data to the public through the Taiwan Environmental
Protection Administration's National GHG Emissions Registry and relevant international non-profit
organizations.
