In order to reverse the public’s stereotype of dirty screw factories, GM Wang, who fully believes that enterprises should not only focus on profits but also bear environmental and social responsibilities, began to promote “net zero” in the fastener industry many years ago, and started with his own factory expansion to create a comfortable and safe workplace with low carbon emissions for all employees. He thinks that the disasters caused by climate change have become more serious than ever, and if people don’t do something, they are bound to affect our future generations.“Net zero can’t be just a lip service and change can only be made by breaking old rules,” says Wang. Such ideas can be implemented in fastener factories through 5S management, lean process management, digital carbon emission management, or improving high carbon emissions through organizations. He thinks that the spirit of net zero is sustainable coexistence, not to comply with regulations, but to demonstrate a company’s commitment to environmental protection and find a carbon reduction strategy that best suits its own size in the long run.
“CBAM is a challenge, but is also an opportunity for the industry to be transformed and redefined. If we can reduce the carbon emissions of countless fasteners around the world, we can transform ourselves from manufacturers into connectors to sustainability,” says Wang.

Under his leadership, Hu Pao has started to work with customers to design low-carbon products and develop alternative materials. “I hope to build a ‘Low Carbon Smart Factory Demo Base,’ and am also developing a more convenient carbon emission statistics system. In the future, I’d like to invite industry partners to set up a ‘Sustainability Alliance,’ so as to attract more people (especially young people) to change the fastener industry. Small screws support the world’s operation. If you are willing to do so, you can join us to transform the fastener industry into one that thrives with the environment and that you are proud to be a part of,” says Wang.

What will you think of first when it comes to the fastener industry? Pollution? Or a sooty workplace? How can an industry that has never been associated with environmental protection go green? Bill Wang, GM of Hu Pao Industries, who has been in the fasteneer industry for over  20 years, points out that the key lies in “Net Zero”. Net Zero is a process of minimizing carbon emissions and offsetting them with carbon credits or carbon absorption. It sounds simple, but is an important industrial revolution for the fastener industry to enhance the competitiveness, coexist with the environment, and create a circular economy in the future.

Net Zero => Sustainable Coexistence

In order to reverse the public's stereotype of dirty screw factories, GM Wang, who fully believes that enterprises should not only focus on profits but also bear environmental & social responsibilities, began to promote “net zero” in the fastener industry many years ago, and started with his own factory expansion to create a comfortable and safe workplace with low carbon emissions for all employees. He thinks that the disaters caused by climate change have become more serious than ever, and if people don't do something, they are bound to affect our future generations. “Net zero can’t be just a lip service and change can only be made by breaking old rules,” says Wang. Such ideas can be implemented in fastener factories through 5S management, lean process management, digital carbon emission management, or improving high carbon emissions through organizations. He thinks that the spirit of net zero is sustainable coexistence, not to comply with regulations, but to demonstrate a company's commitment to environmental protection and find a carbon reduction strategy that best suits its own size in the long run.

Not About Size! Corporate Value Lies on Respect to the Environment

The essence of a green enterprise lies on its respect to the environment. Besides eye-catching carbon reduction figures, it should further create a sense of fulfillment for employees, a sense of trust for customers, and a sense of coexistence with the community. Meanwhile, building a company that everyone can be proud of through carbon reduction to enhance the product value is also Wang's top consideration while making decisions. Although the fastener industry is not as large-scale as other industries, each fastener is the key to supporting the global industries. ”CBAM is a challenge, but is also an opportunity for the industry to be transformed and redefined. If we can reduce the carbon emissions of countless fasteners around the world, we can transform ourselves from manufacturers into connectors to sustainability," says Wang.

Transforming Net Zero into Corporate Culture

Making net zero a part of his corporate culture, Wang has introduced a digital energy management system, solar panels, equipment upgrade, ISO carbon inventories, and lubricant recycling system into the corporate management. On the other hand, he also planted trees, provided veggie meals for employees, and invited supply chain partners to reduce carbon footprints, putting the concept of net zero into practice in lives and work. I once visited a cosmetics factory and was surprised at how clearly they showed their carbon footprints on products. The fastener industry must keep pace with the predecessors' advances in digitization and energy efficiency management, and have the spirit of sustainability internalized.Transparent carbon info is what the fastener industry lacks the most, and understanding CBAM specifications is part of a concerted effort," says Wang.

Carbon Reduction Determines Future Order Taking

In response to CBAM and U.S. carbon reduction system,
the disclosure of carbon emissions will become a new criterion in addition to price if one wants to compete for orders from large factories. Wang thinks that carbon reduction is a way to reducing costs with quantifiable benefits on one hand, and helping enterprises transform towards branding and innovation on the other hand. Under his leadership, Hu Pao has started to work with customers to design low-carbon products and develop alternative materials.

He encourages the industry get to know themselves by carbon inventory, setting up task forces, introducing management systems like ISO14064 and ISO50001, not going it alone, and making good use of associations, industry forums and official/external consulting platforms to obtain more subsidies or resources. "I hope to build a ‘Low Carbon Smart Factory Demo Base’, and am also developing a more convenient carbon emission statistics system. In the future, I’d like to invite industry partners to set up a ‘Sustainability Alliance’, so as to attract more people (especially young people) to change the fastener industry. Small screws support the world's operation. If you are willing to do so, you can join us to transform the fastener industry into one that thrives with the environment and that you are proud to be a part of,” says Wang.

Hu Pao Industries, a professional nut manufacturer in Taiwan active in introducing the concepts of ESG sustainability and net-zero transformationand aiming to achieve carbon neutrality and become a low-carbon solution provider, has recently participated in the SBIR program promoted by Tainan City Government to encourage SMEs to carry out research on industrial technology and product innovation and has been awarded one of the Best 10 performers among the 55 grant receivers in 2024. Hu Pao General Manager Bill Wang attended the awarding ceremony on Nov./25/2024 at WinWin Innovation & Incubation Base in Xinying (Tainan) and presented to Tainan City Mayor Wei-Che Huang the award-winning “Carbon Reduction Savior- Waste Oil Recycling Trough”.

Reducing the pressure of new product development, promoting technological innovation, expanding markets, establishing alliances, enhancing corporate image and brand value, and strengthening growth potential are the ultimate goals of Hu Pao's participation in the program. In order to obtain the max. grant of NT$1 million per case, Hu Pao actively attended the briefing sessions and drew up the plan, prepared required documents and integrated internal resources to submit for review, strengthened the external cooperation, and continuously improved and adjusted the plan during the implementation to make it pass the verification in the end.
 

Carbon Reduction Savior- Waste Oil Recycling Trough Realizes Resource Recycling

Waste oil generated from production lines will have a great impact on the environment if it is not properly treated. The Waste Oil Recycling Trough introduced in Hu Pao's production lines converts waste oil into reusable low carbon emission lubricant through innovative technology, effectively reducing the impact of waste oiland carbon emission on the environment, lowering raw material costs, and realizing the purpose of recycling and reusing resources.

“We’ve seamlessly integrated the Waste Oil Recycling Trough into the production lines to streamline operations and improve resource efficiency. We also monitor the equipment data in real time through the Internet, which is then sent to the ERP system for the management to make accurate decisions. In addition, staff training has been strengthened to familiarize them with equipment operation and make them understand the environmental benefits. In this way, not only will our carbon emissions meet int’l standards to enhance competitiveness, but we will also be able to respond to possible policy changes after the implementation of CBAM. This is also an important step for us to continuously attract sustainability partners to create long term economic benefits,” says Hu Pao G.M. Wang.

Taking the Lead and Encouraging the Industry to Lower Carbon Emission Together

Hu Pao winning the award is exemplary for other small and resource-constrained enterprises, and will surely have a positive effect on encouraging carbon reduction in the industry. It is worthwhile for the industry to learn from Hu Pao in terms of how to effectively conduct carbon inventory and data management, improve resource efficiency and reduce operating costs, respond to CBAM reporting and environmental regulations, the exchange of experience and cooperation in cross-sector alliances and platforms, and how to enhance its image and attract customers through carbon reduction measures.

As the only fastener enterprise in Tainan in 2024 to receive the award, G.M.Wang noted, “The establishment of a carbon inventory mechanism and calculation, upgrading to high-efficiency and low-energy-consumption equipment & manufacturing, shortening transportation distances from suppliers, switching to renewable energy, reporting in accordance with CBAM, strengthening technology and material R&D, and reinforcing employee training and carbon awareness are definitely the future directions Taiwan fastener industry should focus on.”

Besides SBIR, Hu Pao has also received grants from the “Low Carbon and Smart Upgrade and Transformation Counseling Program for Large and Small Manufacturers”, the “Low-Carbon Counseling Program for Small and Medium Manufacturers”, the “Industrial Energy Saving Counseling & Efficiency Improvement Program”, and the “Smart Carbon Reduction Subsidy Program”.

ESG Sustainability & Net Zero by 2050

Under the principle of sustainability, Hu Pao has set for itself a carbon reduction target of 60% by 2032, 80% by 2042, and net zero by 2050. It has also introduced the ISO50001 energy management system, purchased low-carbon materials, used reusable resources, developed green energy concepts, emphasized on environmental protection and social responsibility, provided free veggie lunches for employees, and joined “Zero⁺ College”.

It has been responding to CBAM with proactive strategies and forward-thinking. In addition to obtaining the ISO 14064-1:2018, it has continued to monitor carbon emissions data, increase employee participation in carbon reduction, invest in new technologies/equipment, strengthen cooperation among industry, government, and academia, and participate in int’l exhibitions, so as to let customers know its efforts in carbon reduction.

“Taiwanese companies need to be more proactive in responding to geopolitical risks, global economic uncertainties, environmental policy requirements, and the need for technological innovation. Only by adjusting supply chain strategies, strengthening technology R&D, and enhancing the added value of products can they remain competitive in the fierce int’l market,” says G. M. Wang.
