Environmental Leadership


Handa Industries adopts "Green Handa" as its business strategy, adheres to the concept of "coexistence with the environment", and promotes green operations throughout the entire process: improving energy efficiency and reducing emissions through technological innovation, implementing strict environmental management throughout the product life cycle, continuously developing green processes and introducing environmentally friendly equipment, exploring and building a virtuous cycle model of "green production - ecological protection - industrial upgrading", and promoting the sustainable development of the textile industry through practical actions.

Strengthen environmental management


Handa Industries strictly adheres to national laws and regulations on ecological and environmental protection. With "upholding the ecological red line" as its core principle, it has established a multi-level, full-process environmental management system. The company deeply integrates its environmental protection system, production safety system, energy management system, and environmental protection emergency response plan to form a four-in-one governance framework. It has also established a cross-departmental environmental management department to achieve closed-loop management from strategic planning to implementation. By incorporating indicators such as environmental protection, energy consumption, and resource recycling into the management team's KPI assessment system, a management mechanism with "personalized responsibility and on-the-job assessment" has been established to ensure standardized operations across all production links and processes.


In terms of implementing environmental protection policies, Handa Industries has anchored its green development goals and built a comprehensive, multi-level environmental protection system. Through technological innovation and process optimization, it continuously improves energy efficiency and promotes refined energy management; actively explores new models of resource recycling, improves resource utilization, and reduces waste generation. At the same time, the company continuously strengthens its clean production level, controls pollution emissions from the source, and ensures that the entire production process is green and low-carbon. In addition, Handa improves its green manufacturing system, promotes the green and intelligent transformation of all aspects of production and manufacturing, promotes low-carbon development, and helps“Dual Carbon”To achieve the goal, the company also fostered a strong green development atmosphere through training, publicity, and cultural development to foster full employee participation, integrating environmental protection concepts into every detail of its operations.

All of the company's production bases have passed the ISO14001 environmental management system certification, building a management framework based on international standards and integrating core indicators such as safety control, energy conservation and consumption reduction, and waste reduction into daily operating processes.

During the year, the company achieved excellent results in energy conservation and emission reduction, environmental protection, clean production, safe production, and the circular economy. All pollution control facilities operated normally and met environmental protection requirements. There were no environmental pollution accidents, disputes, or environmental complaints, and the company received no administrative penalties or fines for violations of regulations or laws from environmental protection authorities.



Environmental risks identified by Handa Industriesin 2024



Type

Describe

Wastewater pollution

Printing, dyeing, bleaching and other processes use dyes and auxiliaries. If the wastewater is not completely treated and discharged harmlessly, it will pollute the water body, endanger the ecosystem and human health.

Exhaust gas pollution

• Dust spread during textile and garment processing affects air quality and employee respiratory health

• Exhaust emissions from printing and dyeing machines and other equipment do not meet standards, causing air pollution

Resource consumption

• Excessive use of water resources, especially in dyeing and printing factories

• Regions with unstable power supply, such as Myanmar, rely on diesel power generation, increasing carbon emissions

Chemical risks

• Toxic substances remain in the finished product, causing secondary pollution

• Companies’ lax control over the use of chemicals such as additives



In 2024, the company achieved significant results in environmental protection efforts, with all key environmental indicators passing audit and achieving full compliance. To continuously improve environmental management, the company systematically compiled documents such as the "Environmental Risk Assessment Report," "Emergency Plan for Environmental Emergencies," and "Water Resources Feasibility Report for Water Intake Projects." Furthermore, the company improved its "Safety Status Assessment Report," "Production Safety Accident Emergency Rescue Plan," and the "Three Simultaneous" occupational health management system, strengthening its overall environmental safety defenses.

The environmental performance of a printing and dyeing factory is a crucial cornerstone of a company's sustainable development and a key indicator of its core competitiveness. In the new era, Handa Printing and Dyeing Factory continues to increase its environmental protection investment. Relying on technological innovation and management optimization, it further promotes clean production, dynamically tracks progress towards environmental protection goals, and strives to build a green, low-carbon, and energy-efficient modern printing and dyeing factory.
