Lite-On Technology Corp. (TW 2301) today announced that it has completed the world's first Optoelectronic Semiconductor Product Carbon Footprint Declaration and Environmental Product Declaration Type III. The Optoelectronics (LED) product carbon footprint declaration and environmental product declaration follows ISO 14025 standards, ISO 14040 series standards, Optoelectronic Semiconductor Product Category Rules and PAS 2050 standards. It focuses on the product's environmental impact and energy/resources consumption through optoelectronic semiconductor life cycle studies, including the raw material production/extraction methods of suppliers, material manufacturing, chip and main component manufacturing and optoelectronic semiconductor packaging/testing. The contents of this Environmental Product Declaration include optoelectronics (LED) products carbon footprint, raw material consumption, energy consumption, water consumption, pollutant production, waste production and air pollution. It is a comprehensive Environmental Product Declaration, and can be applied by customers to meet consumer demand for environmental labels and carbon footprint disclosure, as well as being used as a base for improving the environmental impact of Lite-On's optoelectronics (LED) products.
Producing environmentally-friendly products is one of the ways that Lite-On continually strives to protect the environment by integrating the execution of corporate social responsibilities into business operations. Lite-On began working on the Optoelectronics (LED) Product Carbon Footprint Declaration and Environmental Product Declaration Type III and this year, voluntarily participating in a special project for the Industrial Development Bureau, Ministry of Economic Affairs, with guidance from the Foundation of Taiwan Industry Service. The Optoelectronic Semiconductor Product Carbon Footprint Declaration and Environmental Product Declaration Type III were certified by the Environment and Development Foundation, authorized by the Global Type III Environmental Product Declarations Network (GEDnet).
Lite-on Technology Corp.
Founded in 1975, Lite-On Technology was the first company to produce Optoelectronics (LED) in Taiwan. Upon its initial public offering in 1983, Lite-On Technology Corp was the first technology company listed on the Taiwan Stock Exchange. Over the past three decades, Lite-On Technology has successfully maintained a "profitable growth" strategy, and has focused on the development of core components, including power supplies, imaging products, and optoelectronic components. Lite-On products are widely used in the 4C fields of computers, communications, consumer electronics, and car electronics, enjoying a leading position in global markets. As a result of Lite-On Group’s active moves into green energy industries in recent years, and capitalizing on the advantages of its competency in the ICT industry, Lite-On has expanded into new energy and new illuminant businesses. It has developed a “comprehensive green energy supply chain” incorporating solar power (energy creation), optoelectronics inverters (energy conversion), LED lighting and high efficiency switching power supplies (energy saving), and electric power systems and stationary storage systems (energy storage), all of which will be a new force driving Lite-On Group's further growth.
