Environmental Management

It is our pledge to devote every effort possible to keep production activities from impacting local biodiversity.

FENC has a profound understanding of the vital importance of biodiversity and natural resources to environmental protection and sustainable development. The Company supports the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework with engagement efforts carried out within its own operation and with suppliers and business partners, creating mutual prosperity and the flourishment of nature and FENC as the Company strives to achieve nature positive and zero deforestation.

Biodiversity and No Deforestation Commitment

Commitment

  • Amid growing environmental challenges across the globe, additional attention is required from the corporate community to protect the natural capital and enhance sustainable development. Therefore, FENC is putting its focus on reaching nature positive, incorporating nature-related reporting from the Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD) to create an economic model that reverses nature loss and fosters nature positive.
  • FENC aims for no net loss (NNL) and zero deforestation for its own operation, striking a balance and seeking harmony between production activities and biodiversity. FENC also maintains rapport with local communities and environmental organizations, forming a coalition to safeguard ecological health on Earth.
  • The mitigation hierarchy will be used as one of the reference frameworks, with measures taken in the following order: Avoidance, Minimization, Restoration, and Offset, to mitigate impacts on biodiversity.

Goal

  • FENC aims to minimize the impact on biodiversity to the greatest extent throughout the production process while protecting local natural resources and ecosystems. extent.

Measure

  • Biodiversity risk assessments are conducted when selecting locations for production sites. Developed or low-biodiversity areas are prioritized to prevent impacts on protected or high-biodiversity areas.
  • All FENC sites adhere strictly to local environmental regulations during the entire production process, controlling the generation and discharge of GHG emissions, effluents, air pollutants and waste, reducing water and soil pollution, and adopting renewable raw materials and energy.
  • FENC conducts environmental monitoring and assessment with regular reports on performance and improvement plans to applicable stakeholders.
Note: The scope of the commitment includes our own operations as well as key value chain partners, including raw material suppliers and other business partners.

 

Identification of Critical Natural Capital and Priority Management Locations

FENC has adopted the LEAP approach from TNFD and the ENCORE database to identify the dependency-related biodiversity risks and impact-related biodiversity risks on nature from its production businesses and significant raw material suppliers for an in-depth look into its own dependency and impact on natural capital. Using multiple tools in the identification of nature sensitivity in its value chain, FENC ensures the effectiveness of its management strategies regarding nature-related issues, laying the foundation for the establishment of subsequent management approaches and targets.

  • Define the scope and boundary of the assessment.
  • Determine the connection between the value chain and surrounding ecosystems to identify critical nature-sensitive locations.
  • Evaluate value chain’s high dependency and impact on natural capital.
  • Compile and analyze the results to identify issues and locations of critical natural capital within the supply chain.
  • Analyze international reports and industry status to compile lists of risks and opportunities associated with critical natural capital.
  • Identify nature-related material risks and opportunities within the value chain.
  • Quantify major nature-related risks and opportunities using methods such as scenario analysis and financial quantification as a reference for decision-making.
  • Establish management measures and targets.
  • Implement nature-related performance disclosure and engagement.
  • Report the performance and progress regularly to the Sustainability Committee and the Board.

FENC has identified the critical nature-related risks, opportunities and issues associated with its production businesses and significant raw material suppliers through the management procedures for nature-related issues. The details will be disclosed in the Company’s TCFD and TNFD reports in 2025.

 

Avid Support for Governmental Policies

In 2022, the Office of Coast and Resource Circulation of Taoyuan City Government formed the Taoyuan Blue Ocean Recycling Alliance with corporate entities and technical teams. As a member of this alliance, OGM contributes by processing the waste PET bottles collected by the Taoyuan City Government. After rinsing and shredding, the bottles are turned into flakes and chips, ready for the filament unit to proceed with spinning and subsequently transform them into eco-friendly textile products, such as clothing, shoes, bags and blankets, which are gifted to the participants or volunteers during beach cleaning. In 2024, OGM recycled and reused a total of 7.2 metric tons of ocean waste PET bottles.
