2.1.4 Outsourced Processing & Purchased Components – Carbon Data Status
Many outsourced processing partners (powder coating, CNC machining, special welding) and hardware suppliers currently lack formal GHG inventory systems and therefore cannot provide primary carbon emission data.
Consistent with ISO 14067:2018 requirements,INTER-TECH METALWORKS INC. adopts the following compliant approaches:
1. Secondary LCA databases (Ecoinvent / GaBi / OpenLCA)
2. Industry-average emission factors for standardized hardware
3. Transparent disclosure of data limitations and progressive improvement pathways
2.1.5 Supply Chain Carbon Data Improvement Plan (2025–2027)
2025：Full PCF coverage established; secondary data applied for outsourced processes
2026：Major suppliers begin providing energy/GHG data (Target: achieving 30% primary data coverage)
2027：Outsourced processing fully integrated into GHG management (Target: achieving 60% primary data coverage)
2.2 Energy Management
- ISO50001 certification targeted for 2026
- Implementation of TRUMPF Oseon smart scheduling system
- Real-time monitoring of key production equipment energy usage
Energy efficiency measures include:
- Optimization of laser cutting paths
- Reduction of LN₂ venting losses (1–2%)
- Compressed-air leak detection and maintenance
- Full-facilityLED lighting upgrades
2.3 Waste& Circular Resource Management
- 100% recycling of steel and stainless steel scrap
- Reuse of wooden pallets and packing materials
- Cutting oils processed in compliance with EPA regulations
- Recycling rate objective: 95% by 2030
3. Social Responsibility
3.1 Human Rights & Labor Practices
- No child labor or forced labor
- Equal employment opportunities and anti-discrimination commitments
- Fair treatment and occupational protection for foreign employees
- Anti-harassment policies with confidential reporting channels
3.2 Employee Development
- TRUMPF equipment and technical training
- Comprehensive OHS, fire safety, and machinery operation training
- Minimum training requirement: 12 hours per employee annually
3.3 Occupational Health & Safety
- OHS management aligned with ISO 45001 principles
- Monthly EHS inspections
- Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for laser machinery, bending operations, gas handling, and high-risk tasks
4. Governance
4.1 Corporate Governance
- Anti-corruption and integrity policies
- Internal control and compliance mechanisms
- Transparent financial reporting
4.2 Sustainable Supply Chain
