2. Sewage Discharge

The Group does not discharge industrial wastewater during daily operations and its domestic
wastewater, which was within the Discharge Limits of Water Pollutants (˥Ϯݑيર׳ࠢՓ‘) of the
Guangdong Province, was discharged into Houjie Shatang Wastewater Treatment Facility for proper
treatment. Our sewage treatment procedures are also inspected and scrutinised by professional
institution.

3. Waste Management

Handling processes for all waste generated from production and daily operations are in strict
compliance with internal guidelines such as Waste Control Procedures. In general, recycling and reuse
of waste are encouraged under feasible circumstances. Hazardous and non-hazardous wastes are
disposed of by qualified collectors, whilst electronic solid wastes including electronic devices, electronic
parts and printed circuit boards are collected by companies approved by the government. Internal
guidelines are in place to promote efficiency in consuming resources and reducing waste. To reduce
electronic solid waste, there is a designated department responsible for the repair and maintenance
of electronic hardware, so that computers and other electronic devices are functioning well in longer
lifespan.
