Product
Responsibility &
Innovation
Design for
People
Continue to use our
technological expertise to
design and provide products
to enhance the well-being of
our customers and benefit the
society
Increase the total sales of health
and safety products by 5%
Health and safety products sales grew
by 25.9% compared with FY2015.
Design for
Excellence
Continue to ensure that all
products are compliant with the
international quality and safety
standards
Zero product recalls, fines
or penalties relating to non-
compliance with regulations
In FY2016, we had no case on product
recalls, fines or penalties relating to
non-compliance with regulations.
Follow the Life Cycle Analysis
(LCA) Guideline , aiming to
reduce the carbon footprint
in each new generation of the
products
Undertake LCA analysis for 2
key products in TEL products
and ELPs to reduce the carbon
footprint throughout the product
life cycle
We have performed LCA on one new
TEL product and one ELPs.
Environmental
Protection
High
Performance
Production Chain
Implement more low cost
automation projects and further
strengthen the operational
management to improve the
production efficiency and
productivity
Increase production output per
worker by 4%
Production output per worker
increased by 7.9% compared with
FY2015.
Project progress
We have carried out various energy
reduction projects in FY2016, such
as re-layout of the ventilation system,
energy saving projects in SMT
machineries and energy recycling in
burn-in process.
Green
Manufacturing
Energy
consumption
and carbon
emissions
Reduce
energy
consumption
and thus
the carbon
emissions
Phase out the use of diesel in all
canteens of the manufacturing
facilities
No diesel was used in all canteens of
the manufacturing facilities. Fuel of
canteens is replaced with natural gas.
Gradually upgrade the entire
ventilation system and perform
re-layout of the air conditioning
ducts of the production floors
We had upgraded the ventilation
system and performed the re-layout
of the air conditioning duct of the
production floors in part of our
manufacturing sites.
Continue to adopt the hydraulic
servo control technology in
our existing injection moulding
machines
We continue to adopt the hydraulic
servo control technology and expect to
complete the project in mid of 2016.
Water
Reduce water
consumption
and improve
effluent
treatment
Continue to promote water
saving campaigns throughout
the Company
In FY2016, with our continuous effort
to promote water saving campaign
throughout the Company, our total
water consumption decreased by
15.8% compared with FY2015.
Introduce water efficient silk
printing process in our factories
We have been conducting a
comprehensive feasibility study of the
water efficient silk printing process and
will introduce it in our factories after the
thorough study in FY2017.
