Water Resources Management

We regard water as a shared resource. We value local water resources and their surrounding environment at all production sites.

Water Resources Management Guidelines and Measures

FENC regards water as a shared resource. We value local water resources and their surrounding environment at all production sites. We have established reduction goals and continue to reduce water withdrawal and consumption per unit production. Working with our customers, we strive to mitigate the depletion of water resources. When planning for water withdrawal, we take governmental policies, corporate development and industry evolvement into account. We also carefully consider the needs of local residents, managing and distributing water resources in a reasonable and effective manner. We aim to reduce the use of resources as a means to maximize the efficiency of water storage and water consumption. In terms of the quantity and approach of water withdrawal, there are no negative impacts on local residents and habitats. No quarry water, seawater, or water that enters an organization’s boundary as a result of extraction (e.g., crude oil), processing (e.g., sugarcane crushing), or use of any raw material, and has to consequently be managed by the organization is used at any of the FENC production sites. In 2021, OPTC Plant 2 started using the water recycled by OPTC Plant 1 (174 kL), which is categorized under wastewater from external organization.

In 2021, the overall water withdrawal increased by 2%, and total water consumption by 1%. Despite of rising demand amid production increase, water conservation measures have delivered a significant 5% reduction in water withdrawal per unit production compared to 2020, demonstrating the Company’s noteworthy efforts in water conservation.

Note:
1. Surface water includes water from the rivers, lakes and streams as well as wastewater from external organizations. Third-party water mainly refers to tap water. Groundwater includes well water.
2. The difference between water withdrawal and effluent discharge is considered water consumption, which is mainly the result of evaporation at the cooling tower. Loss during production is a minor contributor.

3. The concentration of total dissolved solids (TDS) across the water withdrawal categories are under 1,000 mg/L.
