Making Good Use of Water Resources

Qisda considers cleaner production and environmental protection at the beginning of the product design process. No wastewater is generated during the production process of any product in any factory; there is only domestic sewage. In 2021, Qisda’s global operation locations consumed around 517 million liters of water, and discharged about 414 million liters of water. The municipal water supply is the only source of water for all factories. The water consumption of each factory in the last 4 years is shown as the table below.

Unit: 1,000 metric tons Note 1: The Vietnam factory was established in 2021, so there is no data for 2019 and 2020.  
 

To implement water resource management, all factories have taken the initiative to concern about the status of tap water use since 2011. According to the ESG data, the water consumed per million USD production value in 2021 was 106 tonnes, which is a 58% reduction compared to that in 2009. Other than that, all factories of Qisda have not extracted groundwater for operational use.


 

The water pollution control equipment in the Taiwan Plant are operated and maintained by the professional personnel.We use biofilms to treat domestic sewage, whereas the produced sewage is discharged into the sewerage system built by the government. The sewage discharged by the Suzhou Plant is directly discharged into the municipal sewer system, and the sewage discharged by the Vietnam Plant is treated by the internal sewage treatment plant, and then discharged into the sewage treatment plant of the industrial park. The sewage discharged by both plants eventually goes into the sewer management system. Therefore, the generated sewage has not caused any direct impact on water bodies and the land. As for the inspection for sewage quality, the Taiwan Plant surpassed the standard established by the Guishan Industrial Park. The Suzhou Plant meets the sewage discharge standard, and the Vietnam Plant meets the discharge standard of the industrial park. The water discharged by all factories is regularly monitored and has not been reused by other organizations.


 

All of Qisda’s factories are located in industrial parks; we do not own, rent or manage any factory in ecological reserves or water reserves. We do not engage in any event that creates negative impacts on biodiversity. Likewise, our services and the process of product manufacturing do not harm the environment and the ecology.
