Water Resource Management
Water resources are an indispensable natural resource for human daily life. In recent years, Taiwan has received increasing attention for its water shortage issues, and a stable supply of water resources has become a crucial factor in the company's operations.
Proxene prioritizes water resource issues and actively practices water conservation.
The main purpose of water resources in each of the Company's locations is for employees' domestic use. The water source is the water company in the location of the location (water source: fresh water), which does not cause significant impact on water resources and the ecological environment of the water source. In order to ensure the safety of employees' drinking water, the filter element of the water dispenser is replaced regularly to effectively remove harmful substances in the water. Every quarter, SGS is commissioned to test the water to ensure safe and healthy water quality. The water consumption is mainly for employees' domestic water and process water. The domestic sewage generated by employees is discharged into the sewer sewage system at the location of operation through drainage pipes; the wastewater generated from the process water is subject to the storage permit and qualified manufacturers for transportation and treatment in accordance with regulations.
