Materials Management Policies

Nam Liong Global procures our materials from external suppliers, mainly involving Hook Loops, adhesives, adhesive additives, pharmaceuticals, rubber raw materials, fabrics, specialty yarns, high polymer plastics, polymer foam materials, and specialty fibers. We continue to search for more eco-friendly alternative materials that comply with GRS certification criteria. Additionally, there’s strict control over the procurement and composition of materials to ensure compliance with international initiatives, directives, and regulations.

In 2022, the total consumption of product materials and packaging materials amounted for 406,801.1500 metric tons (with renewable materials accounted for 0.0035% of this total). Moving forward, Nam Liong Global is committed to enhancing our procurement policies to increase the proportion of renewable materials in our sourcing.

Description

SASB-CG-AA-440a.3

Environmental and/or social factor(s) most likely to threaten sourcing of each priority raw material
Discussion on business risks and/or opportunities associated with environmental and/or social factors
Management strategy for addressing business risks and opportunities

The previous linear economic development model led to economic growth but also resulted in the depletion of earth’s resources and increasingly severe climate change. Presently, sourcing petrochemical raw materials may face uncertainty stemming from environmental, social, or economic factors, causing negative impacts like insufficient supply, unstable quality, increased costs, etc. Also, there’s an increasing focus from international and brand customers on environmental protection and recycle materials, requiring relevant environmental certifications. This is expected to increase unstable threats and business opportunities for eco-friendly materials.
Supply Chain Management:Promoting CSR to related up- and downstream manufacturers, demanding materials that comply with restricted substance specifications or declarations, and periodically sending them for SGS inspection to ensure compliance with environmental regulations and relevant international standards, thereby reducing the environmental impact of our products.
Materials Management:Committed to the development Eco-Family materials, focusing on recyclable, reusable, low-carbon bio-based materials, as well as solvent-free and solvent recovery processes. This facilitates material recycling, reduces environmental and labor costs for waste disposal. We further collaborate with certified manufacturers to jointly promote sustainability efforts in production and processing.
Moving forward,we will actively research and develop relatively eco-friendly raw materials, calculating specific figures in LCA and carbon footprints. Gradually, through promoting and expanding their usage, we are committed to contribute jointly with our customers to the betterment of our planet.
