Management on the environment

“Economic development should not create pollution to the environment but try to forge a marriage between corporative development and environmental protection” is a sentence that Tatung’s employees familiar with. We set up “Pollution Prevention Education Center” in 1988 to promote environmental education in the factories and subsidiaries. At this time, our management measures for sustainable environment are through the implementation of “Pollution, Prevention, Pays (3P) Program” and “ISO 14001 Environmental Management System” in the factories and subsidiaries.

Pollution, Prevention, Pays (3P) Program

Tatung started to implement “Pollution Prevention Pays, 3P” program in the factories and the subsidiaries which have manufacturing function since 1993 to help Tatung to develop environmentally sound operations. Ten factories and subsidiaries participated in 2021. When there any non-conformity found against company rules or with potential to cause environmental pollution, we will list such incidents and request the factories and the subsidiaries to correct them. We also set yearly correction target to be 95%. For the non-conformities which can not be corrected by the end of year, we will track them and make them to be corrected next year.
