Waste management
At factory clusters, An Cuong utilized water supplied by the Dat Cuoc Industrial Park, which complied with the QCVN 01-1:2018/BYT standards set by the Ministry of Health, as well as the usage limits regulated by the State and the industrial park management board. In early 2024, the Company was granted an Environmental Permit by the competent authorities, allowing activities with environmental impacts for a specified period. Moreover, the Company’s environmental management system was confirmed to comply with the requirements of the ISO 14001:2015 standard.
Throughout the year, the Company implemented initiatives to minimize waste generation and optimized the use of materials both in office sites and at factories, yielding significant results. Production processes were continuously reviewed and improved, reducing defective products and material waste. Defective products were repurposed to extend their lifecycle. An Cuong issued guidelines on waste classification and regularly organized training sessions for employees. The Company also entered into annual contracts with waste treatment providers in accordance with regulations. Most waste generated by An Cuong originated from the factories in Binh Duong. Solid waste was collected, classified, and processed by professional service providers.
