LITE-ON aware of its duty on environmental protection, therefore we develop sustainable projects toward green design, green factories, and water efficiency on operation. Meanwhile, we delicate on environmental risk management through the engagement and collaboration with our clients, industry alliance, and supply chain; therefore achieve the goals of environmental sustainability.

Guidelines

• Fully Comply with international environmental regulation and standers.
• Provide and design for environmental friendly products or services, and eliminate impacts on the environment.
• Continually develop process optimization, improve efficiency on resource and energy and operation to achieve energy-saving, water-saving, waste reduction, controls on air pollution and noise.
• Continually encourage suppliers to develop innovative business models that help reduce environmental impact.
• Minimize product packaging and business activities impacts on environment.
• To improve energy-saving, environmental protection against pollution in all of our sites.
• Delicate on communication with employees, suppliers and customers , and enhance on their awareness of their accountability toward sustainability.

Environmental Management Objective

LITE-ON has set the following goals for environmental protection and energy saving with the effective environmental management systems regulating the use of resources and the emission of all pollutants for continuous improvement. LITE-ON seeks to achieve low pollution, low energy consumption, recycle and environmental friendly process for development, production, transportation,use and disposal.The disclosure of environmental and energy conservation information is based on actual operations and together accounts for 95% of the total revenue (including plants and offices). Generally, here is our long term environmental goal:

1. Carbon management: Carbon neutral is our goal.

2. PVC and environmentally sensitive material free.

3. 100% of renewable energy in Taiwan use by 2020.

          GHG Emission Reduction Goal
   

In keeping with global environment trend, we are responding to call for reduction of GHG (Greenhouse Gases) emissions and upholding the emissions reduction goals set for industrialized countries in Kyoto Protocol by adopting target management and holding ourselves to high standards. The ultimate goal is carbon neutral. LITE-ON follows ISO 14064 to establish its greenhouse gas emission baselines, and has set ongoing carbon reduction targets over a number of yearly cycles. The most recent cycle began in 2014 (the base year) and will continue until 2017, by which time the company aims to reduce GHG emission per unit of revenue by 6%.

          Power Saving Goal

According to our operation practice, the vast majority of greenhouse gas emissions result from power use (electricity). Base on the actual situation, we are actively promoting various energy and power saving programs. Taking three years as one program period and 2014 as the base year, we planned to reduce our power consumption per revenue by 6% by 2017.

          Solid Waste Reduction Goal

Waste is regarded as misplaced resource. To make more efficient use of resources, LITE-ON will continue to implement measures to reduce industrial waste and to increase the proportion of recyclable waste. Taking three years as one program period and 2014 as the base year, we planned to reduce our total waste per revenue by 6% 2017.

          Water Saving Goal

Facing a changing global environment and increasing water shortages, water is a coming critical environmental imperative besides energy saving and GHG reduction. Based on the need to protect water resources and maintain sustainable operations, we have already begun planning a water saving program. By improving processes, conserving water, and using water, we are taking active steps to reduce waste water from our production processes. Taking three years as one program period and 2014 as the base year, we planned to reduce our water consumption per revenue by 6% by 2017.

          Product Energy Efficiency Goal

LITE-ON’s power-related products comply with the requirements specified in US Energy Star, US Department of Energy (DoE) standards and EU Code of Conduct on Energy Efficiency. We continue to improve the technology of energy losses in standby mode and to develop products of new generation which enhance energy efficiency and reduce energy consumption. For the future products development, we conduct heavy investment on R&D, and stipulate energy efficiency elevation plan. Taking 2015 as the base year, LITE-ON plan to enhance 2% energy efficiency for desktop power supplies by 2017. At the meantime, in sum of energy losses in standby mode of power supplies for mobile phones, desktop and laptop computers will be reduced by more than 20%.
