Our water consumption is mainly from our factory operations. Each year, our goal is to reach 1% reduction on water usage for each production facility. Domestic wastewater is treated through reverse osmosis (RO) and is reused for irrigation and toilet cleaning. In 2023, the volume of the recycled water totaled 26,705 tons, used for watering flowers and grass in the morning to reduce evaporation caused by high temperatures. The fish tanks are equipped with a circulating water supply system. To minimize unnecessary water waste, the Company promotes appropriate water usage habits among employees and encourages them to turn off taps after use. the VPIC1 first obtained ISO 14001 certification on July 20, 2016, and subsequently obtained re-certification on July 26, 2019, with a validity period until July 20, 2025.
