(2) Environmental protection expenditures
HTC primarily 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 eectively managing wastes generated by operations and consistently allo-
cates significant funds to install and maintain pollution prevention facilities and retain professional sta.
HTC provides osite training for sta to acquire licenses needed to operate pollution control equipment.
HTC further implements internal training programs and conducts audits to ensure relevant pollution con-
trol mechanisms operate properly and eectively. 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.
