Biodiversity

Biodiversity is a precious natural asset and an indispensable foundation for sustainable development. During the establishment of SEEC’s operational sites, locations with significant biodiversity value are strictly avoided. Furthermore, to ensure that potential impacts on biodiversity during operational processes are addressed, SEEC commits to introducing measures such as avoidance and mitigation to safeguard natural ecosystems and the environment. Engaging with stakeholders, the Company has established the following policies:

Ensure compliance with international and local biodiversity laws.

Assess and manage biodiversity risks at operational sites.

Promote biodiversity commitments among supply chain partners.

Collaborate with stakeholders to advance species coexistence on Earth.

The Company fully recognizes the critical importance of biodiversity and zero deforestation for ecological and climate stability. Therefore, we commit not only within our own operations but also encourage our supply chain to jointly maintain and promote biodiversity, avoid all forms of deforestation, and implement the UN Post-2020 Global Biodiversity Framework to achieve the 2030 milestone of "reversing biodiversity loss" and the 2050 vision of "living in harmony with nature".

Concrete Actions and Performance Results

Coexisting with Nature: SEEC’s Biodiversity Actions
Biodiversity protection is not limited to habitat conservation or project-based initiatives; it must be embedded within daily corporate operations and product design. SEEC incorporates natural resource pressures into its decision-making framework, progressively implementing concrete actions across product promotion, material selection, and engineering design. Promoting Paperless Initiatives and Packaging Optimization to Alleviate Pressure on Forest Resources In product marketing and customer communications, SEEC fully promotes the digitization of exhibition materials and technical seminars. Traditional paper catalogs have been replaced with online catalogs and QR codes, effectively reducing energy consumption and carbon emissions generated during paper production, transportation, and disposal, thereby indirectly mitigating pressure on forest resources and natural habitats. In terms of packaging design, an industrial packaging model without individual cardboard boxes was introduced for BH/NVB circuit breakers commonly used in distribution boards, enhancing operational efficiency while minimizing packaging waste and environmental burdens associated with downstream processing. Introducing Low-Carbon Bio-Based Materials to Reduce Reliance on Petrochemical Resources Regarding material selection, the Machinery Business Group introduced low-carbon bio-based plastics (bioplastics), increasing their utilization ratio to 35%. Sourced from renewable raw materials such as plants and lignocellulose, bioplastics do not rely on finite petroleum resources unlike traditional petrochemical materials, helping alleviate extraction pressure on natural resources. Bio-based materials absorb atmospheric carbon dioxide during plant growth, providing temporary carbon storage benefits that positively contribute to carbon reduction and climate adaptation. Through material substitution, SEEC balances carbon reduction, pollution abatement, and resource circulation across full product life cycle assessments (LCA), systematically strengthening product eco-friendliness. Advancing Product Miniaturization and Modular Design to Minimize Raw Material Usage and Waste Generation In addition to material substitution, SEEC directly lowers product carbon footprints through engineering design innovation: Miniaturization Design:Structural optimization and functional integration reduce product volume and weight, decreasing raw material consumption and lowering carbon emissions during manufacturing and transportation. Modular and In-House Integrated Manufacturing:Key components adopt modular designs to reduce material waste during production and maintenance. Strategic models feature enhanced in-house integrated manufacturing capabilities, increasing the proportion of recyclable resources within production processes to satisfy clean technology and circular economy standards. These design optimizations enhance product efficiency and maintenance ease while simultaneously decreasing waste generation, mitigating indirect pressures on natural environments and ecosystems at the source. From operational site selection and material substitution to packaging optimization and product engineering design, SEEC continuously evaluates the environmental impacts of its operational decisions to minimize indirect impacts on ecosystems, progressing toward the vision of harmonious coexistence between humans and nature.
