“Sustainability, Stability, Integrity, and Ethics” — Core Values Driving Our ESG Mission
In today’s global wave of sustainable economic transformation, businesses can no longer operate with profit as their sole objective. They must also demonstrate foresight and accountability in environmental protection, social responsibility, and corporate governance. Guided by the four principles of “Sustainability, Stability, Integrity, and Ethics,” Hantai Steel firmly believes that enterprises must coexist with the environment, prosper with society, and progress with the times. Only then can we grow steadily amid uncertainty and fulfill our commitment to sustainable operations.
1. Sustainability: Thriving Together with the Environment
Sustainability is not only the ultimate goal of business operations but also a solemn promise to future generations. Hantai Steel is actively engaged in carbon reduction, energy efficiency improvement, and resource circularity. We have developed an independent carbon reduction roadmap to take concrete action in addressing global climate change. We believe that the sustainable development of the steel industry must be grounded in respect and protection for the natural environment.
In addition, we promote circular resource utilization by maximizing scrap steel, reducing process energy consumption, minimizing wastewater and emissions, and implementing the ISO 14001 Environmental Management System to build a comprehensive framework for environmental risk control. Through these concrete efforts, sustainability is not only a practice at Hantai Steel but also deeply embedded into our corporate culture and decision-making logic.
2. Stability: Steadfast Operations, Steady Growth
Stability is the cornerstone of Hantai Steel’s sustainable development. With a pragmatic and solid operational strategy, we build long-term supply chain partnerships, strengthen internal management, and enhance risk control.
In the highly competitive steel market, regardless of external fluctuations, we maintain stable production capacity and product quality, ensuring that our commitments to both customers and employees remain unwavering—demonstrating the resilience expected of a responsible business.
3. Integrity: Building Trust and Vision with Stakeholders
Integrity is the most fundamental mindset in every relationship we uphold. At Hantai Steel, we adhere to transparency and credibility. Whether it is fulfilling commitments to customers on quality and delivery, safeguarding employees’ job security and development, or honoring agreements and payment terms with our suppliers, we always choose honesty over convenience and responsibility over shortcuts.
In daily operations and sustainability disclosures, we follow the principles of openness and honesty, proactively responding to public expectations. Transparency is enhanced through our corporate website and supply chain communication meetings, helping investors, customers, government agencies, and the public fully understand our strategies and achievements. Most importantly, we continuously listen to diverse voices and incorporate them into our strategic decisions, enriching perspectives and improving the quality of outcomes. We firmly believe that only through integrity can long-lasting and truly sustainable relationships be established.
4. Ethics: Fulfilling Corporate Responsibility with Strong Governance
Ethics form the foundation of our corporate culture and governance structure. At Hantai Steel, compliance and integrity guide every action, from management to the front lines. Each employee is expected to act with responsibility and honesty, safeguarding the company’s reputation. We have established a code of corporate ethics and a supplier code of conduct to ensure fairness, justice, and integrity across all levels of engagement.
From a governance perspective, we promote board diversity, strengthen auditing systems, and improve internal controls to ensure that all major decisions comply with societal expectations and legal standards. We respect human rights and labor rights, striving to build a safe, inclusive, and respectful workplace grounded in trust.
5. ESG Mission: Bridging Values and Action for a Shared Future
On the path toward ESG transformation, Hantai Steel is not only an implementer but also an advocate. We believe that only by integrating the values of “Sustainability, Stability, Integrity, and Ethics” can we move steadily through the currents of industrial transformation and net-zero ambitions, creating true shared value for society and harmony with the environment. This is not merely a management strategy; it is our solemn commitment to society, to the land, and to future generations. We see ourselves not only as participants in economic activities but also as drivers of social stability and environmental stewardship. Looking ahead, we will continue to strengthen our ESG initiatives and actively forge sustainable partnerships with employees, supply chain partners, clients, and governments, positioning the steel industry as a model of low-carbon, intelligent, and resilient transformation.
