Management Framework
We attempt to achieve higher efficiency in energy and resource use and to mitigate climate change and pollution, preserving the beauty of mother nature for the future generations.
Strategies and Guidelines on Environmental Sustainability
Management Authority- Energy Task Force
FENC established the intercompany and interdepartmental Energy Task Force in 2010, and its scope of management has been expanding since then. Aside from energy management, the task force currently oversees the management of water resources, air pollutants, waste, GHG emissions and renewable energy. To track performance regularly, FENC built an online database, Management Platform of Energy Conservation, Carbon Reduction and Circular Economy. In 2018, FENC established company-wide reduction targets. As the Company expands its territory, the Energy Task Force have also expanded its scope of management from production sites in Taiwan and China to Vietnam, Malaysia, Japan and the U.S.
Special Budget for Energy Reduction and Environmental Protection
To implement projects on energy reduction and environmental protection and to fulfill environmental sustainability, FENC sets special budgets aside to further the cause. In 2010, NT$2 billion was appropriated for the special energy reduction budget. Since 2018, FENC has carried out 212 projects during phase II of the special budget for energy reduction. Total budget appropriated has amounted to NT$1.94 billion.
Internal Energy Efficiency Incentives
In the continuing pursuit of breakthroughs in energy reduction, FENC must foster interactions and exchange among its affiliates, and learn from industry peers to inspire higher technological achievements that will increase energy efficiency. FENC awarded the first Far Eastern Group Energy Conservation Award in 2005. The award gives recognitions to exemplary energy saving performance and technology, and encourages consistent implementation of energy saving projects to control energy costs. The project of excellence for the 2020 Far Eastern Group Energy Conversation Award went to Hsinpu Chemical Fiber Plant’s cogeneration plant project, an achievement applauded by the entire Far Eastern Group.
