FIH adheres to comprehensive waste management guidelines, implementing rigorous protocols for the segregation, control, reduction, treatment, transportation, storage, and recycling of solid waste, chemicals, and hazardous materials. All disposal activities are conducted in strict compliance with local environmental regulations. Regarding sludge treatment, the Group partners with licensed vendors for collection and has integrated sludge drying technologies to enhance processing efficiency and reduce outsourcing costs.
FIH actively promotes waste recycling and reuse by transforming waste into valuable resources through innovative design and technological solutions. For example, our manufacturing sites recover, clean, and reuse wooden and plastic pallets, extending their service life and reducing unnecessary waste generation. Key achievements in waste management across our operations include:
In 2025, FIH recycled and reused approximately 17,350 metric tons of industrial waste, effectively reducing the amount of waste sent for direct disposal. In addition, we responsibly processed approximately 840 metric tons of food waste through methods such as anaerobic digestion and composting, further advancing our commitment to the circular economy and sustainable resource management.
In 2025, FIH achieved significant milestones in its UL 2799 Zero Waste to Landfill Certification program, demonstrating outstanding waste management performance. Seven sites, including the Taiwan headquarters; the China facilities in Longhua, Langfang, Hengyang, and Beijing; and the Vietnam facilities in Fushan and Que Vo, attained Platinum Certification, achieving a 100% waste diversion rate. The Chihuahua facility in Mexico obtained Gold Certification.
Currently, a total of eight sites have achieved this certification. FIH continues to maintain and renew these certifications, demonstrating our commitment to institutionalized waste management practices and the implementation of a circular economy, while continuously enhancing resource efficiency and environmental performance.
