Environmental Challenges

  • Extreme weather events such as typhoon, heavy snow, and rainstorm may cause interruptions in business activities (such as supply chain disruptions, employee shortages) and increase costs (extreme weather causing chemicals and other substances to enter the environment, resulting in environmental pollution incidents).
  • Climate change may increase infrastructure costs (such as facility damage) and operating costs (such as insufficient water and electricity supply, rising prices).
  • More rigorous carbon emission policies may increase operational costs (such as compliance costs) and lead to the write-off or scrapping of existing assets.
  • New technology or product development failure may lead to wastage of R&D expenses for new technologies or products and write-off or scrapping of existing assets.
  • Rising material costs and market information uncertainty may increase investment costs and operating costs.
  • Industrial stigmatization and stakeholder concerns may reduce available capital and impact on labor management and planning.
Mitigation Strategies
  • Improved internal management system and plan to address employee and asset damage during extreme weather.
  • Established a sound emergency response mechanism to address business interruption.
  • Strengthened daily inspections and activated emergency plans to address environmental risks.
  • Actively developed new technologies and products and strengthened R&D investment to address technological risks.
