Circular Economy
|
Through the implementation of product
lifecycle management, our objective is to
minimize the environmental impact of our
products while maintaining a harmonious
relationship between product management
and environmental performance. Our aim is
to offer products that are both eco-friendly
and competitive in the businessmarket. To
accomplish this, we integrate materials like
PCR plastics, OBP, and recycled metals into
our products, thereby promoting a circular
economy
|
Create new business
models, recycle materials
and reduce resource
consumption
|
When recycling substances
or materials, additional
costs, manpower and
resources may be incurred
during the recycling,
manufacturing and
transportation processes,
and the carbon footprint
may increase during the
corresponding stages

Companies use their core competencies
to take action to address the social and
environmental issues facing humanity
to reduce social costs and indirectly
reduce the company's business risks.

and opportunities technology brings, and
promote digital inclusion

and technology, we can
address social and

risks. Additionally, such
actions promote coexistence
between business and society,
despite potential increases in
operational expenses due to
organizing events
