Environmental Management

Environmental Management Goals

At Huvis, we recognize that environmental management is fundamental to preserving the prosperity of humanity and nature. We respect human life and strive to create a pleasant living environment by considering environmental aspects in all our management activities. Under the policy of continuously reducing harmful environmental impacts, we minimize the pollutants generated during purchasing, manufacturing, transportation, disposal, and energy consumption in manufacturing processes to contribute to a cleaner environment.

To achieve this, we have established an Environmental Management System (ISO14001) to adhere to environmental policies, conduct environmental impact assessments for all aspects that could affect the environment, and implement improvement plans for issues with significant environmental impacts.

The company sets environmental goals and informs and trains employees to ensure they can diligently fulfill their responsibilities in achieving these goals. Additionally, management continuously monitors and manages the suitability and effectiveness of the environmental system.
