The workflow for handheld devices, from R&D through production, is as follows:
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 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 acquire 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 the operations management on environmental protection equipment in
order to comply with government rules and regulations and reduce accidents and 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.
