Energy Management

In September 2020, Grape King Bio completed the second review for its ISO 50001 energy management system, and continued to follow the PDCA energy management system operation with a goal of saving energy in the 3 plants. The company also used the energy performance index baseline tool to track and manage overall electricity consumption by examining the energy consumption status of critical energy-consuming equipment or areas in the plant. We also prepared internal education and training projects, conducted internal and management audits, and regularly updated documentation such as relevant issues of internal and external risks.

Air Pollution Prevention

Through the process conducted by the air pollution prevention facility, Grape King Bio improves and raises the quality of the environment. All plants of the company regularly implement various maintenance operations on the environmental protection and treatment facility to ensure the systems’ normal operations. We have also completely replaced heavy fuel oil with natural gas to reduce environmental impact and achieve co-prosperity with surrounding neighborhoods.
