Sustainability
Sustainable Development Committee
In 2023, in order to promote sustainability initiatives, NAFCO authorized the establishment of the ESG Sustainable Development Committee (referred to as the ESG Committee). The President serves as the Chairperson of the ESG Committee, and various functional teams are formed under the committee. The ESG Committee formulates corporate sustainability development policies, oversees their implementation within the company, and gradually integrates the principles of sustainable operation into NAFCO’s corporate culture.
In response to the comprehensive aspects of sustainability development, encompassing environment, society, and corporate governance, specialized subcommittees are established under the ESG Committee. These subcommittees gather stakeholders’ input on issues related to environmental protection, occupational safety, supply chain management, labor rights, operational performance, and corporate governance. In accordance with respect for stakeholder interests, NAFCO also maintains a stakeholder section on its website to appropriately address sustainable topics.
Operational ESG Risk Assessment
Sustainable Development Initiatives and Implementation Effectiveness
- Greenhouse Gas Management — NAFCO Achieves ISO 14064-1 Greenhouse Gas Inventory Certification, Fulfilling Its ESG Commitment to Sustainable Carbon Reduction
To actively promote sustainable development and carbon reduction goals, NAFCO successfully obtained ISO 14064-1:2018 Greenhouse Gas Inventory Certification from AFNOR ASIA in April, 2025, with a 100% completion rate. This achievement marks a significant milestone in our journey toward sustainable operations and environmental protection.
Aligned with the carbon reduction pathway outlined in the Paris Agreement, NAFCO began conducting comprehensive greenhouse gas (GHG) inventories in 2022. We have implemented related carbon reduction initiatives, identifying both direct and indirect GHG emission sources within our operational boundaries. This ensures transparency in disclosing carbon data, meeting the expectations of our customers and other stakeholders, and fulfilling our corporate responsibility to mitigate global warming.
Greenhouse Gas Inventory Results Over the Past Two Years
Energy Conservation and Carbon Reduction Actions
- Environment:
- Identify environmental considerations to prevent environmental pollution.
- To implement environmental management by identifying the impact that the company’s existing and future activities, products and services may have on the environment through environmental considerations.
- Energy Management
- Practice energy conservation and carbon reduction to protect the planet.
NAFCO is mainly engaged in the design, assembly and maintenance of mechanical metalworking products, compared with other production, greenhouse gas emissions are smaller. However, in order to fulfill the responsibility of protecting the earth and respond to global climate change, we have set greenhouse gas inventory plans and reduction targets.
- Waste management
Reduce the amount at source and properly recycle and reuse
- Water Resource Management
- Implement water conservation and proper treatment
- Prevention of Air Pollution
- Environmental Protection
Upholding the belief that there is only one Earth, we actively improve our performance in climate change response, pollution prevention and control, energy and resource conservation, waste reduction, OHS management, and fire prevention to lower the overall environmental and OHS risk. We have also passed the certification for the ISO 14001:2015 Environmental Management System (EMS) to enforce environmental policy featuring respect and protection for Earth through the standardized routine management so as to fulfill our corporate social responsibility (CSR).
We began to actively engage in environmental protection and energy conservation, environmental education promotion, environmental protection and energy conservation culture building, and the implementation of measures related to environmental protection and energy conservation in 2019. Through continual process improvement and establishment and implementation of energy conservation policies, we aim to lower pollution, reduce energy consumption, and achieve eco-friendliness.
- Carbon Emission Reduction
To enhance the efficiency of resources, we invest in energy conservation activities such as using the photovoltaic system, LED energy-saving bulbs, green power and energy, and inverter devices; replace the IE3 motors; and implement aircon automatic control. We have also many renewable energy certificates (RECs) to maximize the efficiency of energy and resources to effectively reduce carbon emissions. The real-time power monitor and management platform had been built in 2023 for the purpose of effectively improving the use of electric energy.
To cherish Earth’s resources and reduce environmental impacts, apart from implementing paperless operations (operations are done electronically), we also encourage employees to make photocopies on both sides of the paper and use recycled bin liners.
- Water Conservation
To enforce environmental protection and value Earth’s resources, we have promoted the water conservation policy and taken related measures and invested in the wastewater treatment system and rainwater harvesting system to ensure water reclamation and reuse to practice CSR and protect Earth.
