FY2017 progress update
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 10%
compared with FY2014
Health and safety products sales grew by
135.6% compared with FY2014.
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 withregulations
In FY2017, 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 had performed LCA on one new TEL
product and one ELP.
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 8% compared with
FY2014
Production output per worker increased
by 31.5% compared with FY2014.
Continue to monitor the
progress of our energy
saving programmes and
conduct weekly patrols to
eliminate unnecessary energy
consumption
We had carried out various energy
reduction projects in FY2017, such as
installing air compressor and remodelling
blowguns.
Green
Manufacturing
Energy
Consumption
and Carbon
Emissions
Reduce
energy
consumption
and thus
the carbon
emissions
Reduce Greenhouse Gas (GHG)
emission per production output
by 8% compared with FY2014
GHG emission per production output
decreased by 15.9% compared with
FY2014.
Continue to upgrade the
ventilation system and perform
re-layout of the air conditioning
ducts of the production floors
After a thorough study, it was recognised
that more electricity can be saved by
installing the air compressor.
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 within 5 years.
Water
Reduce water
consumption
and improve
effluent
treatment
Continue to promote water
saving campaigns throughout
the Company
In FY2017, with our continuous effort
to promote water saving campaign
throughout the Company, our total water
consumption decreased by 19.2%
compared with FY2014.
Install water recovery system
and low-flow taps in canteens
Water recovery system and low-flow
taps were installed at the canteen of ELP
factory. We had also installed 2 rainwater
harvest systems at two manufacturing
sites for reducing the consumption of
freshwater.
