Founder's Commitment
At Founder aluminum we have always been dedicated to environmental protection and fulfilling our social responsibility for the sake of future sustainability. Reusing aluminum for casting furniture offers numerous advantages in terms of sustainability and versatility. The recyclability of aluminum ensures that end-of-life furniture can be easily melted down and repurposed, contributing to a circular economy and minimizing waste. By repurposing aluminum, we significantly reduce the demand for new aluminum materials and minimize the environmental impact associated with extraction and refining processes. Embracing reused aluminum for furniture casting not only show our commitment to sustainable practices but also promotes the creation of durable and stylish furniture that can be enjoyed for a long time.
Since 2014, we have been steadily investing in solar panels to increase the use of green energy while reducing carbon emissions. Currently, our solar panels cover a total area of 18,000 square meters, resulting in annual carbon emission savings equivalent to the carbon sequestration of approximately 2.5 Daan Forest Parks for an entire year. This initiative not only makes our energy usage more environmentally friendly but also reduces our impact on the Earth.
Starting from 2013, we transitioned all office lighting systems to energy-efficient LED lights to reduce energy consumption. In 2020, we went a step further by converting all on-site lighting to LED lights, ensuring that the concept of energy conservation and carbon reduction permeates every corner of the company. Through these efforts, we contribute to environmental protection while also lowering the company's energy costs.
In the planning of our production machinery, we consider not only production efficiency but also the friendliness and safety of the working environment. In the newly established welding production line in 2015, dust collectors were installed at the top to effectively capture the slight dust and gases produced during welding, reducing air pollution and protecting the health of our employees. Additionally, we installed automatic welding curtains to shield employees' eyes from welding light, creating a friendly and safe working environment. We recognize that the health and safety of our employees are crucial cornerstones for the sustainable development of our company.
At Founder aluminum, we will continue to uphold our ESG commitments and actively engage in environmental protection to fulfill our goal of sustainable business through action. We believe that through ongoing efforts, we can bring about more positive impacts on the environment and society, collectively shaping a better and more sustainable future.
