UPEC is fully aware of the significance of “sustained development” as the main challenge faced by all corporations in their management in the 21st century. As UPEC pursues further growth, we have not forgotten our corporate social responsibilities. We continue our to seek the improvement of production technology, product quality and to introduce and promote technologies to achieve the objectives of energy conservation, waste reduction, clean manufacturing and pollution prevention to demonstrate UPEC’s determination in environmental protection. We have also adopted various environmental protection systems such as greenhouse gas emission inspection, environmental accounting mechanism and established our environmental management system in recent years. UPEC has already published various reports in this area periodically to disclose relevant information on our efforts in fulfilling our corporate social responsibility.
It is also our responsibility to create a safe, hygienic and pleasant working environment for our employees. To attain this end, UPEC has been working vigilantly to ensure full compliance of its existing work safety regulations and adopted advance management techniques such as safety observations. In order to encourage employees to take part actively in work safety promotion and to increase their awareness for work safety, we have also initiated a reward system for divisions with zero work hazards, organized contests to test employees’ knowledge in safe/hygienic work practices and competitions for ‘Zero Work Hazard and Foreseeing Danger” in recent years. On top of that, we have also created an occupational safety and health management system in the hopes of elevating UPEC’s safety culture. In order to accomplish the goal of sustained development, we have developed the following policies to serve as a guideline on environmental protection, safety and hygiene for UPEC employees working around the world to abide by:
