TNFD & Biodiversity
Paper comes from forest fibers, and the paper industry is closely tied to nature. Upholding the concept of secondary forests and sustainable forest regeneration, CLC is dedicated to using recovered paper. Over 90% of the group's products are made from recycled materials, and we actively purchase 100% FSCTM sustainably managed forest pulp. Through creativity and research capabilities, we offer the market eco and diverse green consumer choices with our paper products.
CLC Joins Global TNFD Nature-related Financial Disclosures Pioneers, Protecting Biodiversity
Valuing Nature Positive growth, CLC actively responds to international organizations, ESG climate initiatives, and biodiversity issues. Anticipating potential nature-related risks in company operations, CLC became the 1st Taiwanese paper company to join the TNFD (Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures) Early Adopters in early 2024. Following the TNFD Version 1.0 framework released in 2023, CLC has initiated an internal LEAP process analysis to assess the dependency and impact of business activities on natural resources. We connect resources from industry, government, academia, and research to launch research projects related to factory areas, natural issues, and biodiversity. Simultaneously, we reflect on and discuss current strategies and future development directions to gradually build disclosure integrity.
Rivers and Wetlands
All of CLC's domestic and international operating sites have implemented ISO 14001 and actively enforce PDCA management for water resources. This ensures the safety and compliance of effluent, providing stable water sources for nearby streams and wetlands, fostering biodiversity. Through comprehensive water resource management strategies and cross-plant exchanges, CLC conducts process water conservation and graded water management. Special emphasis is placed on ecological conservation near the plants. The Tayuan and Hsinchu paper mills have adopted rivers for many years and have been recognized by the government as "Outstanding River Adoption Enterprises." Additionally, CLC has established "Water Environment Patrol Teams" with employees and local community members, who patrol the streams monthly and on holidays to maintain the environment of the nearby Qiaxi River section and the Keya River basin.
