Environmental Management

FENC monitors raw material usage consistently and dedicates efforts in the improvement of production process and techniques. We introduce innovative technology and system, ensuring sound management and improve the efficiency use and recycling of raw materials. We also expand the power of influence by forming an alliance with suppliers and customers, pledging to protect the environment by optimizing packaging methods.

FENC is committed to the refinement of production processes and techniques. The Company reaches benchmarks in sustainable material management by reducing damages in raw materials and increasing the recycling rate of packaging materials through innovative technologies and systems. FENC measures itself with standards more stringent than the industry norm, and selects raw material suppliers that comply with regulatory and sustainable standards based on the procedures and operational guidelines in internal procurement management. The Company also ensures quality standards by commissioning independent agencies to conduct quality testing.

FENC has operational guidelines in place for the management of packaging materials, matching appropriate materials and packaging methods with customers’ products and transport needs. Recyclable, reusable, or eco-friendly materials, such as biomass, are prioritized, and operational adjustments are made to ensure waste avoidance. Recycling targets are set for packaging materials. Each month, the Company tabulates the recycling quantity, recycling rate and achievement rate, and unmet goals are reviewed. By managing the recycling of packaging materials, the product life cycle is prolonged, which reduces consumption, costs and waste. In addition to recycling and reuse, FENC also collaborates with suppliers, customers and qualified recycling companies to recycle packaging materials from domestic customers to be reused at FENC production sites.

In 2023, the average recycling rate for packaging materials from the production sites within the scope of this report reached 80%. The average recycling rate for in-house recycling is 61% while that for recycling through external programs is 100%.

There were no leakages of raw materials, oils or fuels from FENC sites in 2023.
