Environmental Management System

WNC complies with the ISO 14001 Environmental Management System, ISO 14064-1 for greenhouse gas emissions accounting standards, ISO 50001 Energy Management Systems, IECQ QC080000 hazardous materials management system, Forest Stewardship Council Chain of Custody Standards (FSCTM CoC) and local environmental regulations. The company also conducts internal audits and external verifications annually to ensure compliance with customer and regulatory requirements.  

 

To ensure the smooth operation of internal management systems and operational control activities, and to prevent abnormal incidents, each unit assesses the potential environmental impact on operations and activities in advance. Based on the assessment results, they develop prioritized plans, establish related control documents and measures, and formulate short-, mid-, and long-term action plans while conducting inspections as necessary to achieve the goal of sustainable environment. In order to promote these systems to all stakeholders, WNC provides comprehensive training to enhance employees’ awareness of environmental protection. We also communicate environmental issues to customers, suppliers, contractors, and all partners in the value chain through consultation, evaluation, and audits.  

 

WNC’s Environmental Sustainability Policy was implemented following approval from the BOD. The policy focuses on climate change mitigation and adaptation, enhancing energy efficiency and the use of renewable energy, and promoting resource recycling and conservation. We have developed environmental performance indicators and are committed to implementing environmental protection principles such as carbon reduction, resource conservation, waste reduction, and strengthening of pollution prevention at every operations site. This ensures that our business operations comply with international and local environmental and energy regulations and standards. In addition, we have adopted a WNC Energy Management Policy and WNC Water Resource Management Policy and launched projects in accordance with the goals outlined in these policies. 

Environmental Management Expenses

WNC promotes environmental conservation programs at each of its sites, collectively contributing to carbon reduction efforts. To track environmental expenditure, WNC implemented the Environmental Accounting Guidelines for Industries published by Taiwan’s Ministry of Environment in 2024. By integrating the guidelines with our existing accounting system and internal ESG project codes, we have categorized environmental expenditures by nature, thereby demonstrating our commitment to environmental management. Moving forward, we will continue to enhance data accuracy to facilitate effective environmental management. 

 

In 2024, WNC’s total environmental management costs amounted to NT$296,474,863, accounting for 0.27% of the company’s revenue that year. Among these costs, the largest expenditure was on purchasing post-consumer recycled plastics, followed by expenses for renewable energy and energy-saving projects.
