All production bases of NANPAO have undergone evaluations pertaining to the environmental protection law in the planning phase. Moreover, the Company has selected locations in industrial areas permitted by location government as its production bases. These areas are neither nature reserve or habitat of flora and fauna nor areas on IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. For all production activities, we are committed to pose as little influence and impact as possible on the local biodiverse environment. To reduce the environmental impact posed by our production processes, NANPAO has implemented the relevant pollution prevention equipment to enhance treatment efficiency and reduce the influence on the environment.

 

NANPAO has also established a "Biodiversity Policy", committed to introducing prevention, mitigation, and monitoring practices within the scope of corporate efforts, and calling on supply chain partners to support and collaborate together.

 

Biodiversity Risk Assessment

Nan Pao employs the Biodiversity Risk Filter (BRF) tool developed by the World Wildlife Fund (WWF). Taking into account industry characteristics, we identify and assess biodiversity risks, prioritizing "avoidance" and "minimization" measures for areas with high risk, in order to reduce biodiversity impacts and losses.

Risk Type	Risk Item	Risk Level
Dependency-related biodiversity risks	Water Scarcity	High
	Limited Wild Flora & Fauna Availability	Very Low
	Water Condition	Medium
	Air Condition	Low
	Landslides	High
	Wildfire Hazard	Medium
	Extreme Heat	Medium
	Tropical Cyclones	High
Impact-related biodiversity risks	Land, Freshwater and Sea use change	Very Low
	Tree Cover Loss	Very Low
	Pollution	Very High
	Protected/Conserved Areas	Medium
	Key Biodiversity Areas	Low
	Other Important Delineated Areas	Low
	Ecosystem Condition	Low
	Range Rarity	Very Low

 

Organic Cooperative Farming

NANPAO is actively committed to sustainable performance and natural opportunities, emphasizing the sustainable use of natural resources and the protection, restoration, and regeneration of ecosystems. In addition to using recycled and regenerated materials in the manufacturing process, NANPAO also actively participates in ecological conservation activities.

 

Starting in 2023, we have partnered with the Aguli Social Enterprise to support local organic-friendly small farmers through a cooperative approach. We have established standards based on scientific testing methods, conduct routine field inspections, assist small farmers in implementing field management, and sample and test each batch of crops before harvesting. We also require on-site supervision by Aguli personnel during harvest to ensure food safety, thus ensuring the safety of the ingredients for consumers.

 

The organic crops harvested are donated to the Huashan Social Welfare Foundation  through the Nan Pao Resin Social Welfare Foundation, creating mutual benefits for the community.
