Formosa Laboratories, Inc. fully recognizes that safety, health, environmental protection, quality, and energy management are the cornerstones of the company's sustainable operations. To fulfill our corporate sustainability responsibilities, We pledge to place equal importance on safety, health, environmental protection, energy efficiency, and quality production, striving to achieve the goals of zero accidents and continuous improvement in energy performance.

To accomplish these, we will:

1. Regulatory Compliance: Comply with all relevant laws, regulations, and binding obligations to enhance the Company's corporate image.
2. Consultation and Communication: Establish transparent mechanisms for consultation and participation, promoting active employee involvement and fostering an awareness of individual responsibilities.
3. Risk and Impact Control: Implement systematic hazard identification and pollution prevention, while actively driving low-carbon transitions and climate change mitigation and adaptation measures. This includes adopting strategies for climate change mitigation and adaptation, low-carbon transition, life cycle thinking, and biodiversity protection.
4. Continuous Performance Improvement: Establish performance indicators and objectives, utilizing systematic monitoring to ensure the continuous improvement of environmental and energy performance.
5. Resource Integration: Prioritize the adoption of energy-saving technologies and high-efficiency equipment, while allocating the necessary resources to ensure the effective operation of the management systems.

 

Supplier Assessment:

1. We keep good suppliers or eliminate underperforming ones based on the overall assessment results of supplier’s performance in occupational safety, health and environmental protection. (The assessment includes whether ISO45001 and ISO14001 management systems have been established...)
2. The scale of assessment: Grade A - 90 to 100 points; Grade B - 60 to 89 points, Grade C: Below 60 points. Suppliers of Grade B or above are invited for cooperation.
3. Underperforming suppliers are strictly required to improve, otherwise can be disqualified.

Contractors Assessment:

    We lay down a procedure (SHE002 Contractor Safety and Health Management Procedure) to manage our contractors in the following four aspects.

1. Assessment and classification: We assess potential contractors with our Safety and Health Assessment Program. A contractor’s assessment results should be at least Grade B to be a qualified contractor. We regularly assess our contractors (Grade A: once/2 years, Grade B: once/year, Grade C: Not qualified.)
2. Signing agreements: The contractor that won the bid should sign written agreements, including Plant Entrance Safety and Health Regulations, Contractor Safety and Health Agreement, to ensure that they follow environmental, safety and health rules.
3. Qualification review: We only issue a contractor identification badge to a contractor that has labor insurance coverage, health examination report, and training records, and that meet safety and health regulations and our requirements.
4. Training before entrance: We give unscheduled training courses to our contractors. We also retrain our contractors at least once per year.
