• Biodiversity Conservation Guideline

   

  Biodiversity includes the abundance of plants and animals and their interactions in the ecosystem. LITEON’s global sites are located in urban areas, which have no dependency on significant ecosystems and LITEON‘s operational activities do not rely on abiotic services. Nevertheless, global ecosystems are threatened by deforestation, land degradation, water, air, and soil pollution, and climate change. This poses wide-ranging challenges for all industries and also renders systemic risks. In order to mitigate the operational risks caused by the continuous decline in biodiversity, LITEON, from the perspective of the manufacturing industry, commits to contribute to a sustainable and prosperous global society through the following guidelines. Our executive management endorses this guideline and applies it to LITEON’s operation, supply chain, and other business partners. please refer to the Biodiversity Risk Assessment Report for more information.
