Environmentally Friendly Design
Through environmentally friendly design, the impact of products and processes on the environment can be effectively reduced. In addition to the obligation to comply with environmental regulations, we further analyze and assess significant environmental impact factors from a life cycle perspective. In 2022, the Company conducted a life cycle assessment of Fespixon® products in accordance with ISO 14040 and ISO 14044. We conduct a comprehensive inventory from the acquisition of raw materials, manufacturing, distribution and sale of products to their use and final recycling of waste. We also analyze the impact of each step on resource utilization, ecological impact, and human health. The relevant information is verified by a third party through SGS.
Green Procurement
Oneness Biotech supports green procurement, and prioritizes products with environmental protection labels. For four consecutive years from 2020 to 2023, we have been certified by the Pingtung County Government as a private enterprise with outstanding performance in green procurement. The amount of green procurement exceeds NTD 2 million per year and is increasing year by year, reaching NTD 4.87 million in 2023. We are promoting the development of green industries through practical actions.
EMS Internal Audits
An internal audit is performed once a year, during which personnel from across departments review the operation of the environmental system according to the principles of impartiality, objectivity, and independence. If anomalies or defects are found, the responsible unit will take corrective measures and complete them within a certain period of time. The latest internal audit was completed on December 8, 2023.
