EHS (Environmental, Health, and Safety) and Energy Policy

Recognizing the interconnectedness of environmental, energy, and occupational safety and health matters, CHS has integrated its Environmental Management System, Energy Management System, and Occupational Health and Safety Management System into one unified system. This integrated management operates under its EHS-Energy policy, combining ISO 14001, ISO 50001, ISO 45001, CNS 45001, and TOSHMS standards. The Company effectively implements preventive mechanisms and energy-saving and carbon-reduction concepts to realize its core values of “Respect for Life, Care for the Environment, and Energy Conservation and Waste Reduction.” The EHS-Energy Policy, approved and announced by the Chairman, serves as the Company’s highest guiding principle for promoting relevant activities, with the following six commitments:

Enhancing Employee Health

Promote health initiatives to raise awareness of personal health management, prevent diseases, and maintain physical and mental well-being.

In accordance with the “Regulations for the Establishment of the Environment and Energy Management Committee,” the Company has established the Environmental and Energy Management Committee, chaired by the Vice President of the Production Division. Committee members include plant directors, General Manager of the Administration Department, and environmental and energy managers from each plant. The Committee oversees four task groups: Thermal Energy Technology, Electrical Energy Technology, Environmental & Energy Systems and Waste Reduction, and Promotion. Meetings are held once every two months to coordinate and ensure the effective operation of environmental and energy management, and performance is regularly reported to the President. The Committee deliberates on the following matters:

  • Setting environmental and energy targets and managing work plans.
  • Reviewing the performance and operational effectiveness of the Environmental (ISO 14001, ISO 14064-1) and Energy (ISO 50001) Management Systems.
  • Promoting the best available technologies for electrical and thermal energy.
  • Implementing environmental and energy education and training programs.
  • Ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements and other applicable laws.
  • Auditing the outcomes of energy conservation, water conservation, carbon reduction, and waste reduction initiatives.
  • Promoting and evaluating environmental protection and energy conservation and waste reduction efforts.
