The workflow for handheld devices, from R&D through production, is as follows:
(2) Environmental Protection Expenditures
HTC primarily manufactures smartphones. 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. In addition to regular management of disposables, our policy for reduction of these disposables is carried out
through categorization and education in order to reduce production of the disposables from their source.
Meanwhile, reusability received priority in consideration and further categorization on the rear end is added to
increase the reusability of recycled resources.
c. Continue promoting ISO 14001 environmental management, ISO 14064-1 technical and administrative measures
and ISO50001 energy management standard to maximize clean production benefits.

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.
Through green purchases followed by acquisition of raw materials or energy-efficient equipment, savings on use of
energy and resources, as well as decrease in pollution on the environment, are made possible for fulfilling duties, such as
reducing volume of the disposables, reusing recycled materials, and reducing the volume of carbon, for protection of the
environment.
HTC is committed to environmental responsibility and 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.
