Management Policy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n

Reason for the\nIssue's\nImportance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The company produces hazardous industrial waste and general\nindustrial waste within the factory. Given the increasingly\nstringent environmental regulations on waste, it is necessary to\nconsider waste management as a major issue to comply with legal\nrequirements.<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

Impact and\nInfluence<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  • Economic Potential Negative Impact: Stricter environmental regulations increase costs\nfor processing equipment and service providers due to more detailed recycling\nrequirements.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Economic Actual Positive Impact: Complying with regulations by using qualified waste\nprocessors reduces the likelihood of environmental fines.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Environmental Actual Positive Impact: Selecting compliant waste processors ensures\nproper waste handling and environmental hygiene.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Human Rights Potential Negative Impact: Hazardous waste leaks can endanger\nstakeholder health<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Human Rights Actual Positive Impact: Properly executing resource recycling and\nincreasing equipment as required by law ensures the legal temporary storage of\nindustrial waste, preventing environmental pollution and protecting stakeholders' health.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
    \n

    Policy\/Strategy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    Our company's environmental, safety, and health policy commits\nto \"comply with regulations, green production, pollution\nprevention, resource recycling, hazard prevention, and continuous\nimprovement.\" We pledge to enhance the monitoring of pollution\nsources and improve pollution control equipm<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
    \n

    Goals and Targets<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    • Seek vendors to decompose environmental material PLA, whose decomposed waste can be composted for recycling.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Plan to minimize waste volume, thereby decreasing waste disposal, in line with our industrial\nwaste reduction plan.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Plan to reconstruct old factory buildings using environmentally friendly building materials. The green factories are expected to include energy storage equipment and solar panels, enabling the Company to partially use green energy to reduce reliance on externally purchased electricity and lower carbon emissions.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Plan for PETG cards to achieve net-zero emissions in the future, to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
      \n

      Management\nEvaluation\nMechanism<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
        \n
      • Conduct irregular visits to specific waste contractors for\ninspection.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Find qualified waste transportation\/disposal vendors, verify their\npermits, and ensure they have the company's waste codes to\ncomply with regulations.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
        \n

        Performance and\nAdjustments<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
          \n
        • Ensure that all waste service vendors are qualified, achieving a 100% compliance rate.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Maintain a 100% contract signing rate with our waste service vendors.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Given that plastic remains a primary material used in large quantities, the Company has actively begun developing PETG eco-friendly materials and soy-based eco-friendly inks as raw materials for our products.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Compared to 2023, our waste recycling rate reached 12.29% in 2024.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Aim to replace conventional printing inks with soy-based eco-friendly inks to reduce environmental pollution. In 2024, our adoption rate for these inks was 85.1%.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
          \n

          Preventive or\nRemedial Measures<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
            \n
          • Properly execute resource recycling and, as required by\nregulations, entrust qualified vendors to handle industrial waste.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          • Ensure that qualified recycling vendors strictly adhere to\nregulations in the handling of industrial waste.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

            Waste Disposal<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
            \n
            As a professional manufacturer of plastic cards and various nameplates, the Company's production processes may generate wastewater, exhaust gas, and waste. We have established relevant\nenvironmental management procedures, installed corresponding treatment equipment, and obtained permits from government agencies. In accordance with environmental regulations, we entrust\nlicensed contractors with the transportation and disposal of waste and diligently implement measures to prevent environmental pollution.<\/div>\n\n\n\n

              TNP's general industrial waste is primarily sent to public and private treatment\nfacilities for processing or handled according to the \"Waste Disposal Act\" for\nresource recovery and reuse. Hazardous industrial waste is transported to the\nMinistry of Economic Affairs' comprehensive treatment center for industrial waste or\nqualified first-class public and private waste treatment facilities for processing or\nhandled according to reuse regulations.

              Our contracted third-party qualified waste disposal companies are equipped with GPS tracking systems and are responsible for implementing waste reduction and recycling measures. Our goal is to significantly reduce the amount of waste generated at the final stage, offer recommendations for source reduction and waste reuse technologies, and ultimately increase the waste recycling\nand reuse rate. Additionally, the Company conducts on-site inspections of waste disposal vendors in accordance with the law. As of the end of 2024, there have been no incidents of waste\nleakage at TNP.<\/mark>

              TNP's environmental safety and health policy is committed to \"complying with regulations, green production, pollution prevention, resource recycling, hazard prevention, and continuous improvement.\" The company is committed to strengthening pollution source monitoring and improving pollution control equipment to implement pollution prevention. The Company is also actively adopting eco-friendly materials. In 2021, we completed the development of PETG and are developing PLA and eco-friendly soy-based inks. These environmentally friendly production materials\neffectively reduce carbon emissions generated during operations, allowing us to truly achieve green manufacturing and reduce waste volume.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
