The ocean is the mother of life, and a habitat for countless creatures.
We strive toshowcase Formosa Laboratories' dedication to environmental preservation and marine resources conservation by promoting Sustainable Formosa Laboratories, Sustainable Louchu, and Sustainable Taoyuan.
We urge our employees to collaborate as partners to sustain the nearby aquatic ecosystem, engage in river rehabilitation, and preserve the purity of the coastline, guaranteeing the sustainable administration of ecological resources. The Company takes practical actions to instill environmental awareness in the hearts of our colleagues, engaging in activities such as river adoption and beach cleaning, promoting environmental education, and achieving the goal of jointly maintaining a sustainable environment.
Safeguarding the Beauty of the Ocean
To demonstrate our commitment and passion for protecting marine resources, Formosa Laboratories encourages our employees each year to participate in activities like river cleanup, coastal protection, and environmental education. These efforts help maintain water-friendly environments across Taoyuan and Luzhu districts and promote sustainable management of ecological resources.
Formosa Laboratories responded to the Clean Creek and Ocean Protection Initiative by launching the "Guarding Rivers Clean Creek" program. On May 18, 2024, we adopted the "Haihu Creek" waterway. Through this creek cleaning activity, we aimed to raise awareness among employees and their families about the seriousness of river pollution and encourage them to consider ways to reduce waste at the source. During the event, employees worked tirelessly alongside the company to protect the river, restoring the natural beauty of clean rivers and streets. A total of 225 kilograms of household waste was collected. The event also promoted interaction between the public and private sectors, environmental organizations, and the community, helping to strengthen social awareness of environmental protection. A total of 105 participants took part in the activity.

Protecting the Beauty of Rivers and Oceans
Through a series of river and beach clean-ups, we enable employees to experience the impact of marine waste on the coast, understand the pollution caused by various marine waste, and reflect on how to change their daily habits to reduce waste generation. At the same time, this activity promotes good interaction between public and private organizations, environmental groups, and the general public. It enhances interpersonal relationships in society, promotes environmental education, instills environmental awareness, maintains cleanliness and hygiene in coastal areas, and forms a nationwide movement to ensure the beauty of rivers and oceans can be sustained.

Greening and Beautifying the Plant Environment
Formosa Laboratories continues to implement various environmental protection measures. According to the plan of the "Adjacent Land Expansion Project", a tree planting project has been planned and implemented in the plant area. In 2022, 2,200 tree seedlings were planted on the land for national security within the factory area. According to the planting regulations, each tree seedling is planted between 1-2 meters to preserve the natural environment. The tree species include small-leaved olive, birch, and camphor tree. The General Affairs Department is responsible for the maintenance and care of the trees for future environmental management. In the future, the Company will continue to plan for more greening and beautification measures to create a healthier and more comfortable environment, and enhance the overall quality and appearance of the plant area.
