Reduction target:
1. Greenhouse gases: Reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 6% in 2027 compared to the base year (FY2022)
2. Water consumption: 2% reduction in water consumption in 2027 compared to the base year (2022)
3. Waste: 2% reduction in total weight of waste in 2027 compared to the base year (FY2022)
Promotion measures:
1. Greenhouse gases:
Due to global warming, the greenhouse effect has had an impact on all mankind, Sanneng Group takes the mission of “driving the safety, environmental protection, energy conservation and carbon reduction of food utensils”, comprehensively reviews the raw material supply chain, high-efficiency product design, and production process, follows the net-zero emission timeline declared by various countries, and follows the net-zero emission path and strategy announced by the government.
In 2023, Wuxi Sanneng has set up a new solar power generation panel with an annual power generation capacity of about 1.2 million kWh on the roof of its own factory, with a total investment of 4.98 million yuan, and an average power generation of 1.1335 million kWh is expected in 2024, which is estimated to reduce 646 tons of carbon dioxide based on the purchased power value of 0.5703 kg CO2/kWh. In addition, we will also evaluate the feasibility of installing solar power panels on the roof of Taiwan’s own factories, and gradually replace equipment with higher energy consumption through energy management methods.
In addition, the carbon reduction effects brought by the company’s corporate products or services to customers or consumers are as follows:
(1) Product packaging and packaging materials: Use recycled materials, rationalize packaging, and reduce the burden of disposal on customers and consumers.
(2) R&D of energy-saving products: Provide low-energy consumption products, reduce energy consumption for customers, and achieve carbon reduction effects for customers or consumers.
(3) Promote non-stick treatment business, and use customers’ old baking utensils after environmentally friendly non-weight treatment technology, reflecting the spirit of circular economy.
It can save customers the cost of re-purchasing new products and reduce the carbon emissions caused by the use of raw materials.
2. Water Consumption:
(1) Update pure water equipment, improve water use efficiency, and reduce tap water consumption.
(2) Water recycling and reuse: Treating wastewater into reusable water resources and reducing the need for tap water.
(3) Promote water conservation: effective conservation of water use through the promotion of water-saving appliances, facilities, technologies and behavioural changes.
3. Waste:
(1) Waste sorting and recycling, promoting recycling and reuse, and reducing the impact of waste on the environment.
(2) Reduce unnecessary packaging and develop recyclable or reusable packaging materials.
(3) Strengthen education and publicity to raise awareness and awareness of waste management and reduction, and promote waste reduction.
Achievement: Greenhouse gas, water consumption and waste reduction targets were set for the first time this year, and the achievement status of each year will be reviewed in subsequent years.
