Lite-On Technology Corp. (TW 2301) today announced that its optoelectronics semiconductor products obtained the ISO14045 eco-efficiency assessment of product systems verification. Lite-On followed the ISO 14045 standard, and completed the eco-efficiency assessment of product systems for its white PLCC SMD LED (LTW-089 series & LTW-006 series), with certification from a third party, SGS Taiwan Ltd.
This white LED eco-efficiency assessment uses Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) methodology to examine energy/resources and pollutant emission data from the LTW-089 and LTW-006 series product life cycle process and systematically quantifies the environmental impact. By linking the products’ before and after values, the ratios of eco-efficiency indicators are used to analyze the new products in both economic and ecological efficiency. The assessment of the eco-efficiency indicators include the products’ luminous intensity, the height of the package and the carbon footprint, resulting in a before and after eco-efficiency ratio of 2.78 for the LTW-089 series & LTW-006 series.
Lite-On will continuously put more effort into product development in order to gain an even higher eco-efficiency. Making every effort to be a good corporate citizen, while simultaneously concentrating on sales and profits as engines of growth, Lite-On has succeeded in putting active CSER programs into practice. Lite-On has built up its EICC (Electronic Industry Citizenship Coalition) management system, in strict compliance with the rules and regulations and with strong business execution. In 2012, Lite-On was selected 2 years in a row as a leading member of the 2011/2012 Dow Jones Sustainability Index (DJSI), listed in both DJSI-World and DJSI-Asia Pacific. Not only was Lite-On the only Taiwanese company selected in the Electronic Component and Equipment (ELQ) sector, but it was ranked first, the sector leader, among all companies named in ELQ.
