1. Losses (including financial compensation) and fines due to pollution in-
cidents 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categoriza-
tion 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administra-
tivemeasuresandISO50001energymanagementstandardtomaximizecleanproductionbenets.

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 oer consumers
products that reflect HTC’s low environmental impact commitment.
Through green purchases followed by acquisition of raw materials or energy-ecient 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 eective 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 greenhouse gas emissions data to the public through international non-
protorganizations,CDP.
Employee health and safety (H&S):
Inaccordancewithcontentsoftheplanformanagementofoccupationalhealthandsafety(H&S),the
companywillcomplywithH&Sregulationsbyidentifyinghazardsinordertocarryoutkeytaskssuch
as reducing risks, specifying a standard for management of dangerous and hazardous materials, oering
guidanceaboutH&S,andpromotingvendormanagement.Allofthesetaskswillbeimplementedinto
“H&Sorganizations”,“H&Smanagement”,“educationandtrainingonH&S”,“standardoperatingpro-
ceduresandanalysisforworksafety”,“H&Sinspections”,“emergencyresponse”,and“H&Sactivities”
inordertoachieveengagementbyallpartiesforareducedriskonH&S.HTCiscertiedunderOH-
SAS18001. New employees receive health and safety education training related to HTC’s work environ-
ment and production processes. HTC also holds regular fire safety drills to ensure all employees are with
familiar fire prevention and suppression facilities and equipment.
Employees are the most valuable assets for HTC. To safeguard the health of our employees, the task of
our health center works toward “health management”, “promotion of health”, “occupational health”,
and “employee assistant plan” for our employees, in a hope that this employee clinic (an aliated
infirmary at HTC) would oer services such as ensured doctor visits, prescriptions, health consulta-
tion, physical therapy, physical checkup, lab examination, and radiological examination service for our
colleagues. For employees with mid-to-high level risk of health issues after recent health check-ups, the
center will arrange treatment and follow-ups from doctors and nursing stas at the center.
