Environmental Sustainability Policy

The Environmental Sustainability Policy received the Board approval in March 2026 as the overarching guiding principle for environmental management at FENC. As the highest entity governing the implementation of this policy, the Board established the Sustainability Committee to steer corporate sustainable development, overseeing the progress of advancing sustainability targets and environmental performance, while senior management is tasked with spearheading policy implementation. This top-down governance structure ensures  a seamlessly integration of the policy with FENC’s overall operational strategies and risk management processes, fortifying operational resilience and sustaining value creation for the long term.

Sustainability Strategies and Management Approaches

 

System Establishment and Management	Implement Business-wide measures, including establishing management mechanisms for internal environmental audits and environmental and energy management systems; assessing risks and opportunities related to climate change, GHG emissions, water resources and biodiversity; setting environmental targets and performance indicators; reviewing and tracking related performance in regular management meetings; prepare information disclosure at least once a year through internal management mechanisms to ensure effective implementation of environmental strategies and continuous improvement of environmental performance.
Incorporation of Innovative Technology and Equipment	Minimize the environmental impact of operations and value chain activities by introducing innovative technology and process optimization measures; implementing energy and emission reduction; lowering energy and resource consumption; adopting pollution prevention equipment and best available technology.
Value Chain Collaboration	Reduce the environmental impact of the entire value chain by collaborating with suppliers, contractors and other business partners to enhance the performance in energy, water resources and waste management and implement sustainable procurement, biodiversity engagement and training and empowerment across the supply chain.
Avid Support for Governmental Policies	Respond to governmental policies and regulations related to climate change, environmental protection and recycling with active support and incorporate decarbonization and environmental considerations into investment and operational decisions to keep corporate development aligned with national sustainability policies.
Reduction, recycling and Reuse	Promote energy saving, water conservation and resource reduction at the source, facilitate waste reduction, recycling and reuse and incorporate circular economy principles into product design and service development to improve resource efficiency and minimize impacts on natural and ecological systems.
