ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION

These surveys and statistical data indicate that consumers and customers all over the world expect enterprises to manufacture sustainable, green, and eco-friendly products. Microbio embraces a spirit of “Integrity, Innovation, and Love” and upholds its corporate vision of “Developing New Drugs, Caring for Life”. We therefore place equal emphasis on the pursuit of corporate growth through innovative drug development and the constant search for innovative methods to minimize environmental impacts. We continue to forge ahead towards sustainable business operations to create healthy lifestyles for humankind and preserve a sustainable environment for future generations.

Environmental Management

To comprehensively and systematically manage material environmental issues, Microbio follows the ISO 14001 environmental management system to establish and supervise effective management mechanisms, enhance resource efficiency, and reduce environmental impact.

Climate Actions

Microbio recognizes the enormous impact of climate change on the economy, society, and the environment. As one of the leading biotech pharmaceutical companies in Taiwan, we must heed our corporate social responsibility and respond to the challenges brought forth by climate change. To measure and analyze the impact of climate-related risks and to formulate control measures, we adopted the framework from the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosure (TCFD) issued by the Financial Stability Board (FSB). Based on the framework, we disclosed our governance, strategies, risk management and metrics, and targets to help investors and stakeholders understand Microbio’s climate actions.

Water Resources Management

Usage of Water Resources

Water is an indispensable key factor for Microbio’s operations, from the planting of raw materials, water usage for the production process, to R&D experiments, which all require stable water resources. After taking inventory, the Microbio locations are all located in the low water supply risk areas, and there is no immediate risk of water shortage. In order to tackle the potential water shortage challenges in the future and make a substantial contribution to SDG 6’s“Ensureavailability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all,” we are committed to promoting excellent water resource management. This includes water recycling and strict drainage water treatment measures.

Packaging Materials Management

Packaging Materials Management

In line with Extended Producer Responsibility—i.e., a company’s responsibility for packaging across its full lifecycle from design to recovery—and the broader trend to reduce plastics, we follow the principles of “design for reduction, material friendliness, and circular reuse.”

On the manufacturing side, we strengthen packaging lightweighting and recyclable design. On the retail and e-commerce side, we implement plastic-reduction measures, improve packaging efficiency, and promote reuse programs. In parallel, we disclose data to drive continuous improvement.

Food Loss & Waste (FLW) and Waste Management

Food Loss & Waste (FLW) and Waste Management

Microbio and its subsidiary Cotton Field Organic promote food loss and waste management as well as broader waste management practices according to their respective business characteristics, supporting the principles of a circular economy. We actively implement management systems centered on “reduction, segregation, and reuse” to maximize resource efficiency and minimize environmental impact.

On the manufacturing side, we practice source reduction by reusing soybean residue as animal feed and converting herbal residue into compost. On the retail side, we manage food waste in line with internationally accepted definitions, implement food-saving measures, and establish data collection and tracking mechanisms to continuously improve performance.

Carbon Reduction Strategy

Microbio reviews its operational status with a focus on four key areas: production processes, product development and design, energy-efficient equipment, and energy management. Using scientific methods, we implement carbon reduction measures to continuously improve energy efficiency, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and gradually procure renewable energy to strengthen operational resilience.

In addition, to advance the low-carbon transition and mitigate regulatory risks related to carbon fees, the company has established an Internal Carbon Pricing (ICP) mechanism. Climate-related issues are incorporated into decision-making, with carbon costs factored into cost-benefit analyses through the application of ICP.
