Preface<br />

Sandal is around our life<br />

Sandal is a faithful companion with human<br />

from primitive age to modern times.<br />

Sandal is believed to be the first crafted foot<br />

covering stuff. It was the basic footwear of<br />

ancient civilizations such as Egypt, Greece<br />

and Rome. In the 20th century, the sandal<br />

was reintroduced in North America and<br />

Europe for fashion footwear (*) . To the<br />

present days, sandal is kept abreast with<br />

marvelously engineered shoes in world’s<br />

notable fashion shows and in daily wear.<br />

Vietnam Footwear existed for long, however<br />

it was developed to be the Industry from<br />

Vietnam’s Doi Moi period, the Vietnam<br />

opening and reformation period. After 20<br />

years, Vietnam becomes the second largest<br />

footwear exporter in the world.<br />

<strong>Co</strong>ming and building up our sandal business<br />

in Vietnam during the Vietnam’s Doi Moi, we<br />

contribute to the development of Vietnam<br />

Footwear Industry in general and sandal<br />

production in particular. Having more than<br />

20 years doing business in Vietnam and<br />

witnessing the vigorous change of the<br />

country, we thoroughly aware our<br />

responsibility in contributing to the<br />

socioeconomic development and<br />

sustainability of the country. We<br />

acknowledge the expectation of customers,<br />

community, employees and others<br />

stakeholders about our compliance in<br />

business code of ethics and sustainable<br />

development. We keep working diligently and<br />

tireless to meet this expectation.<br />

Sustainability in Every Step<br />

As sandal companion with human step, we<br />

care of sustainability in every step of our<br />

business operation. Sustainability is<br />

integrated into our business strategy. Being<br />

long-term, stable and responsible business<br />

becomes guidance for <strong>Jia</strong> <strong>Hsin</strong> operation.<br />

I am pleased with the effort from myself and<br />

my employees in implementing our<br />

sustainability commitments and achieving<br />

certain positive results though year 2011 is<br />

the ever toughest year in our business life.<br />

Indeed, we faced many challenges<br />

throughout the year 2011. External<br />

challenges such as order volume reduction<br />

due to global economic downtime and<br />

European economic fluctuation, price storms<br />

in Vietnam due to inflation problem, strike<br />

waves causing instability in labor force plus<br />

many other problems have impacted to our<br />

business. Internal challenges, such as building<br />

up a new workshop, setting up overall<br />

operation and lean production lines for new<br />

workshops; establishing and implementing<br />

ISO-14001 and OHSAS 18001 Management<br />

Systems; restructuring our organization; and<br />

handling strike from workers have caused a<br />

most difficult year.<br />

We did not give up challenges but faced and<br />

overcame them. We did not get rid of<br />

sustainability commitments in hard time but<br />

implementing them and using them as a<br />

motivation.<br />

Achieving customer SAFE Award, Most<br />

Dedicating Social & Environment Affair Team<br />

Award, certified ISO14001 and OHSAS18001<br />

management system, and other sustainability<br />

awards proves that sustainability is in every<br />

step of our business life.<br />

I keep considering sustainability an<br />

important part of our operation and a cyclical<br />

journey of whole <strong>Jia</strong> <strong>Hsin</strong> team. With strong<br />

commitment on leading, supporting, and<br />

together with my team, I team will make our<br />

stakeholders’ expectations happen.<br />

‘We did not get rid of<br />

sustainability commitments in<br />

hard time but implementing them<br />

and using them as a motivation’<br />

GENERAL MANAGER


Footwear:<br />

Impacts, Risks and Opportunities<br />

Today, the Asian countries take an impressive proportion in footwear manufacturing. While<br />

serving the world with wonderful products, footwear manufacturing creates considerable<br />

impacts to the world. Is there any opportunity for being responsible?<br />

Impacts<br />

Footwear manufacturing<br />

consumes a large amount of<br />

materials and energy then<br />

releases wastes and<br />

emission that originally<br />

bring impacts to<br />

sustainability and people<br />

working in manufacturing<br />

environment. There may be<br />

certain non-compliances to<br />

relevant regulations and<br />

standards, too<br />

<strong>Jia</strong> <strong>Hsin</strong> acknowledges on<br />

effects of its production to<br />

stakeholders and<br />

sustainability as a whole.<br />

Key impacts from <strong>Jia</strong> <strong>Hsin</strong><br />

business and productions<br />

can be derived from<br />

following activities:<br />

Resources consumption<br />

Waste release and air<br />

emission<br />

Unsatisfied working<br />

conditions for employees<br />

and surrounding<br />

environment for<br />

community<br />

Possible non-compliances<br />

to local legislation and<br />

international standards.<br />

Negative economic<br />

performance.<br />

To identify impacts, we do<br />

the periodical Health and<br />

Safety Risk Assessment,<br />

Significant Environmental<br />

Impact Assessment, and<br />

Internal Audits.<br />

During the assessments, we<br />

do scoring to give priority<br />

with significant impacts and<br />

set up relevant corrective<br />

action plans.<br />

We implement Management<br />

Systems to ensure that the<br />

impacts are identified,<br />

reviewed and removed<br />

periodically.<br />

“We acknowledge<br />

manufacturing impacts<br />

to sustainability and we<br />

create opportunities to<br />

mitigate adverse<br />

impacts as much as<br />

possible”<br />

Risks<br />

While controlling our impacts<br />

to sustainability, we stay<br />

aware on the reverse impacts<br />

from it. Our SWOT analysis<br />

indicates different risks, and<br />

significant challenges and risks<br />

from sustainability trends are<br />

identifies as following:<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

Need large investment to<br />

comply with the legal<br />

requirements and<br />

international standards.<br />

Need to gain commitment<br />

from investment company<br />

for financial support<br />

Climate change impacts to<br />

sales markets and<br />

operation location, causing<br />

effects to our business<br />

performance<br />

Employees awareness,<br />

collaboration and<br />

capability in implementing<br />

sustainability programs.<br />

Opportunities<br />

Not only coming with impacts,<br />

challenges and risks,<br />

sustainability trends bring<br />

great and potential<br />

opportunities. We find out<br />

their hidden benefits,<br />

including:<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

Being more competitive in<br />

our supply chains because<br />

preference is offered to a<br />

supplier who can<br />

contribute to the overall<br />

performance of the supply<br />

chains.<br />

Stable and strong<br />

workforce, thanks to the<br />

compliance in health and<br />

safety, leading to qualified<br />

products, high<br />

productivity and stable<br />

operation.<br />

Support from government<br />

bodies<br />

Increase company<br />

prestige and image.<br />

<strong>Co</strong>ntribute to world’s<br />

action in bringing a better<br />

life of our next generation.<br />

We understand nature of risks<br />

and importance of capturing<br />

the opportunities. We<br />

implement necessary<br />

programs to prevent or<br />

mitigate risks. We seek<br />

commitment from mother<br />

company for investment on<br />

sustainability programs to<br />

contribute into world effort in<br />

reducing impacts from climate<br />

change. We provide training<br />

to employees and community<br />

to improve their awareness<br />

and collaboration. Most<br />

important, we ensure our<br />

sustainable compliance for<br />

competitiveness and growth.<br />

We focus in building up<br />

management systems for each<br />

aspect. The management<br />

systems allow us to Defines<br />

problems, Plan the corrective<br />

actions, Check the<br />

implementation and Improve<br />

for better.<br />

As for the methodology, we<br />

conduct prevention and<br />

reduce of impacts. Treatment<br />

before releasing is applied for<br />

the remained impacts.<br />

New and Pretty<br />

Our company name simply<br />

means New and Pretty. It<br />

stems from our dream of a<br />

new and beautiful building<br />

while we was working in<br />

our 18-year-old dark and<br />

old factory in Hochiminh<br />

City. It used to be a great<br />

dream and, like a big family,<br />

together we tirelessly<br />

worked to make it come<br />

true.<br />

<strong>Co</strong>mpany is the second<br />

home after own home, in<br />

the eyes of most of our<br />

employees. Solidarity and<br />

Loyalty are our Values.<br />

Sincere and Support are<br />

our Culture. Employees<br />

can find here strongly<br />

organized business<br />

operation and strictly<br />

disciplinary management.<br />

They can also find<br />

motivation and respects<br />

We work diligently not only<br />

to keep our building new<br />

and beautiful but also to<br />

maintain our beautiful<br />

image and prestige in the<br />

look of our prioritized<br />

stakeholders.<br />

<strong>About</strong> us<br />

<strong>Jia</strong> <strong>Hsin</strong> <strong>Co</strong>., <strong>Ltd</strong>. is a sandal manufacturing company<br />

wholly owned by <strong>Jia</strong> Cherng <strong>Co</strong>rp. incorporated in<br />

Republic of Mauritius.<br />

To be licensed in 2008, <strong>Jia</strong> <strong>Hsin</strong> established its business<br />

in new premises after legal liquidation of old business<br />

under the name Sunkuan JVC. The newly founded<br />

company started its operation from June 2009.<br />

<strong>Co</strong>mpany location:<br />

D1D5 Cau Tram Industrial Park.<br />

Cau Tram Village, Long Trach <strong>Co</strong>mmune,<br />

Can Duoc District, Long An Province, Vietnam<br />

Head quarter location:<br />

No. 162, Pu-Tze Rd, Pt-Tze Village, Chi Tung Hsiang,<br />

Yun Lin Hsien, Taiwan, R.O.C<br />

In 2010, the company started-up a new business<br />

relationship with another top sports brand. The venture<br />

became the most significant change in the year and<br />

prolonged its influences to the year 2011. This business<br />

expansion brought about changes in operations, facilities<br />

and management system. The company has invested for a<br />

new manufacturing building, add it up with 3 production<br />

lines and hired additional 400 employees for this new<br />

customer.<br />

The new customer also put the company in an extremely<br />

high pressure when it requires our integration to its<br />

operation and management system. In effort to shorten<br />

the gap between customer system and ours, we find the<br />

worth of changes and a gate for the future.


Business<br />

<strong>Jia</strong> <strong>Hsin</strong> operates its manufacturing in Vietnam but does not<br />

supply its products to local markets. Instead, the company acts as<br />

supplier for various world top brands. All products are registered<br />

for export. Without foreign subsidiary and distribution channel,<br />

the company products are launched through the customer’s<br />

distribution network.<br />

<strong>Jia</strong> <strong>Hsin</strong>’s customers possess the world-wide distribution network<br />

which brings <strong>Jia</strong> <strong>Hsin</strong> products around the world. Although the<br />

company does not have its own brand-name, it is proud to serve<br />

the community with beautiful, qualified and safe products. The<br />

top destination of <strong>Jia</strong> <strong>Hsin</strong> products is the European markets, and<br />

then followed by the Asia and the USA. African countries are the<br />

smallest markets.<br />

Operation<br />

<strong>Jia</strong> <strong>Hsin</strong> hires 1,808 employees in average of year 2011 for its factory in Can Duoc and Branch in<br />

Long Hau. Since Long Hau Branch make samples only, total mass production capacity is allocated in<br />

Can Duoc main factory. With 8 lines and relevant supplementary equipment, <strong>Jia</strong> <strong>Hsin</strong> can offer 6<br />

million pairs a year. It expects that the capacity will be fully occupied and sales volume will be<br />

mostly equal to capacity volume.<br />

In align with stakeholders’ expectation, the company sets 2015 target of 10 million pairs sales<br />

volume. Route map 2010-2015 and strategic plans were worked out from year 2010 to guide us to<br />

the goal. In order to achieve the target, the company needs a comprehensive change from its old<br />

and stunted mindset and system over the past 20 years.<br />

Manufacturing is the core component in our operation. Our manufacturing objectives include of<br />

converting from traditional to lean production lines, gaining “double-pph” which mean increase<br />

productivity per person per hour twice, enhancing “continuous improvement” campaign and<br />

changing management mindset.


Governance<br />

Step into<br />

Reformation<br />

I<br />

n year 2011, the company decides to step into<br />

Reformation to save its heavy “management<br />

boat” from sinking and upgrade itself to the<br />

management level of new customer.<br />

The current governance system composes of a<br />

Chairman as representative of investment company -<br />

but not to be the executive officer – and employed<br />

General Manager and Vice General Manager. Daily<br />

operation is handled by these two top managers.<br />

Characteristics of management are central<br />

controlling and several-layer management system.<br />

The top management covers all areas in details<br />

instead of prolonging their arms through senior<br />

management. Proportion of indirect workers on<br />

direct workers is very high. The company feels as if a<br />

fully laden boat.<br />

Under pressure of negative impacts from business<br />

performance and the rush to approach new<br />

customer’s management system, the company<br />

decides to step into a reformation to save itself from<br />

overall crisis<br />

LEGAL AND OPERATIONAL STRUCTURE<br />

<strong>Jia</strong> <strong>Hsin</strong> <strong>Co</strong>., <strong>Ltd</strong> is registered as a limited<br />

company under Vietnam law, with 100%<br />

investment from <strong>Jia</strong> Cherng <strong>Co</strong>rp. which is<br />

registered under law of the Republic of<br />

Mauritius. The chairman of Board of Directors<br />

of <strong>Jia</strong> Cherng is Mr. Lin Yin-Piao who owns<br />

Exhibition 2.8: Net Sales and Capital Breakdown year 2011<br />

13.33% of total shares. <strong>Jia</strong> Cherng nominates<br />

Mr. Reagan Lin, a member of <strong>Jia</strong> Cherng Board<br />

of Directors, to be the Chairman of <strong>Jia</strong> <strong>Hsin</strong>.<br />

Exhibition 2.8 reflects the Net Sales and Capital<br />

Breakdown of the company in year 2011.<br />

Item Year 2011<br />

Net sales (in US$) 18,468,019.40<br />

Sales volume (in pairs) 5,189,406<br />

Item Year 2011<br />

Debt (in US$) 17,477,896.35<br />

Equity (in US$) 744,350.45<br />

There is no Board of Directors in <strong>Jia</strong> <strong>Hsin</strong>.<br />

Highest governance body is the Chairman,<br />

acting as representative from investment<br />

company, and Board of Management that<br />

includes one General Manager and one Vice<br />

General Manager. The Chairman is not an<br />

executive officer.<br />

There are 2 committees in company: Trade<br />

Union and Labor Safety <strong>Co</strong>mmittee. Trade<br />

Union is an independent unit setup by<br />

employees and representing employees in<br />

negotiating with employers. Labor Safety<br />

<strong>Co</strong>mmittee is setup by the <strong>Co</strong>mpany under the<br />

local regulation about health and safety<br />

management inside the company.<br />

All the communication between employer and<br />

employees, employees' representative or<br />

committees is handled and decided by <strong>Jia</strong> <strong>Hsin</strong><br />

Board of Management (GM and Vice GM).<br />

Board of Management normally discuss with<br />

employees and committees by following<br />

methods :<br />

1. Weekly meeting for leaders/managers, then<br />

they will re-form workers and staffs on issues<br />

discussed in meeting.<br />

2. Policies, notices, decisions posted on notice<br />

board.<br />

3. Suggestion box.<br />

4. Face to face meeting between Board of<br />

Management and all employees.<br />

The Board of Management shares with all<br />

employees about the company strategies,<br />

policies, business targets/goals, expectation<br />

from customers and board of management, as<br />

well as the requirements on employees'<br />

cooperation and contribution. The Board of<br />

Management does not aim to hide the company<br />

aspects and concerns. The company enhances<br />

the understanding between the partners and<br />

considers it an important factor for the<br />

business success and development


ORGANIZATION STRUCTURE<br />

The organization is structured based on our<br />

operation flow and function, starting from<br />

product development to products delivery.<br />

There are three main divisions: Development,<br />

Production and Operation. Long Hau branch is<br />

an assigned department for handling<br />

development of one of our customer.<br />

Functionally, Long Hau branch is belonging to<br />

Development division.<br />

Development division handles on research and<br />

development of new products for each season.<br />

After the new design is confirmed, the order<br />

will be downloaded and Operation division will<br />

arrange the supportive and preparatory<br />

activities for production. After all preparation is<br />

done, Production division can start their<br />

process.<br />

Exhibition 4.1. General organization chart


Transparency & commitment<br />

CONFLICT OF INTERESTS<br />

The company somehow accepts<br />

outsource from employee’s or employee’s<br />

family business as a way of supporting<br />

employees. It is un-written law that<br />

supervisor of purchase or higher<br />

management level check for reasonable<br />

price and quality. Top Management<br />

approval is mandatory. Highest<br />

governance body is not an exception from<br />

this practice and Chairman will act as<br />

final approver.<br />

HIGHEST GOVERNANCE<br />

BENEFITS<br />

Earnings of highest governance body are<br />

directly proportional to company overall<br />

performance while senior management is<br />

able to get fixed wage plus a performance<br />

bonus.<br />

<strong>Co</strong>mpany overall performance and Top<br />

Management performance is<br />

interdependent. The investment company<br />

appraises Top Management performance<br />

by reviewing company business results<br />

and its achievement in social and<br />

environmental aspects. This leverage<br />

enhances their dedication to the company<br />

operation.<br />

In such principle, Top Management and<br />

Senior Management qualification plays<br />

the decisive role in the company<br />

development. Their leadership properties<br />

compose of expertise in the industry,<br />

leadership characteristics and leadership<br />

communication.<br />

HIGHEST GOVERNANCE SELECTION<br />

Top Management play decisive role in the<br />

success of business. The shareholders<br />

select the top management based on their<br />

trust, experience and management ability.<br />

For senior management, the company<br />

adds in the criterion of expertise to<br />

ensure that they will properly guide the<br />

subordinates<br />

OVERSEE ORGANIZATION’S<br />

CONDITIONS<br />

The Top Management operates<br />

business with management<br />

systems founded on local and<br />

international legislations,<br />

stakeholders’ concerns and<br />

expectations as well as company<br />

vision and mission. Deviation<br />

from this triangle framework<br />

may lead company to<br />

mismanagement and<br />

noncompliance.<br />

SWOT analysis, assessment,<br />

reporting mechanism and<br />

interactive brainstorming are key<br />

tools to support Top<br />

Management to oversee company<br />

conditions and made proper<br />

treatment or improvement.<br />

‘<strong>Co</strong>mmitment to external initiatives is<br />

among the ways to adhere ourselves to<br />

internationally agreed standards and<br />

principles.<br />

We engaged in GRI sustainability<br />

report from 2010, EU REACH and from<br />

2010 and zero-hazardous chemicals<br />

from 2011’.<br />

Decent Work’<br />

To understand concern and expectation from our traditional and biggest customer, <strong>PUMA</strong>,<br />

we have meet and interview Mr. Carlos Bartolome, our assigned Production Manager, and his<br />

assistant, Mr. Titan Chien. They expressed special concern on Social Performance – Labor Practice<br />

MR. CARLOS BARTOLOME<br />

Stakeholders’ <strong>PUMA</strong> PRODUCTION MANAGER <strong>Co</strong>ncerns<br />

1. What do you expect from the <strong>Jia</strong> <strong>Hsin</strong>’s Sustainability<br />

Report 2011 ?<br />

The Aspects of Report must be based on the GRI<br />

requirements so I think that all of them are what we want<br />

or expect to know.<br />

2. Which aspects are you interested in ?<br />

We are more interested in « Buil up Management System »,<br />

specially for the « Social Performance – Labor Practise and<br />

Decent Work »<br />

3. Why are you interrested in these Aspects ?<br />

I think your factory is doing very well now, especially for<br />

the Economic performance and other activities related to<br />

operation system. The reason why we are more interested<br />

in the Aspects of Environment Performances and Social<br />

Performance-Labor Practices and Decent Work is we want<br />

to know how good you maintain and improve them.<br />

4. Do you have any suggestion beside these Aspects ?<br />

We just have some suggestions related to factory<br />

operation :<br />

- The first is Production control and set the up a stable<br />

quality system to make sure that the factory will get the<br />

tagerts and no delays on shipment. For this, the factory<br />

should give more effective training for the production<br />

team and workers.<br />

- The second point is to maitain the working environment,<br />

health and safety. To reduce the VOC at coumpound room<br />

and dus tat buffing area as well as train workers on PPE,<br />

especially for the new workers.<br />

- The third one is to develop and do the research on<br />

equipment based on existing machines so that the factory<br />

does not have to put more investment on it.<br />

- The last is I hope you can get more customers so that you<br />

can create more revenue for workers during low season or<br />

having less orders from Puma

Management Approach<br />

Right people for<br />

More Growth<br />

R<br />

eformation supposes to bring in a better<br />

management structure and locate people to<br />

proper position for more operation efficiency.<br />

With the preference policy for local community<br />

people, <strong>Jia</strong> <strong>Hsin</strong> brings all job and promotion<br />

opportunity to Vietnamese, even in Senior<br />

Management positions. The company is aware of the<br />

advantages of local workforce such as smartness,<br />

diligence, and skillfulness. We continue pursuing this<br />

policy and Top Management play the important role<br />

in promoting this policy.<br />

“Right people will lead to more growth”, Top<br />

Management affirms. Bringing one more excellent<br />

local senior manager has changed the production<br />

landscape. Together with reformation, it makes out<br />

the rise of productivity and efficiency. We can see the<br />

dramatic growth of business, though it is still<br />

negative in 2011. Improve the economic<br />

performance is not only the job of sales or finance<br />

departments, but also the effort from all others. Such<br />

principle is brought up widely and absorbed by all<br />

employees.<br />

Our workforce:<br />

Respect, Share and Care<br />

<strong>Jia</strong> <strong>Hsin</strong> brings along with it several hundreds of employees during its relocating to new premises.<br />

This reflects the loyalty of employees and implies the success of company labor policies.<br />

Respect, Share and Care are the cornerstones of our labor policies.<br />

We respect employees and consider them our “partners” in order to share with them company<br />

directions, objectives, targets, success and failure. In the understanding, employees and<br />

employers strive together for overcoming difficulties and achieving success. We care of<br />

employees through the wage and benefits policies which go higher than legal requirements. We<br />

promote for the fair wage.<br />

In the year 2011, <strong>Jia</strong> <strong>Hsin</strong> involved in some important projects aiming to improve its labor<br />

responsibility to employees and community. Highlighted projects are Human Resource<br />

Management System (HRMS) started up from year 2010, Organization Reformation to improve<br />

the company structure, Health and Safety Management System OHSAS 18001 aiming to bring<br />

into a better and safer working conditions to employees and Serious Disease <strong>Co</strong>unsel Programs<br />

Employment<br />

LA 1 - The size of a workforce provides insight<br />

into the scale of impacts created by labor issues.<br />

Breaking down the workforce by employment<br />

type, employment contract and region (region<br />

refers to ‘country’ or ‘geographical area’)<br />

demonstrates how the organization structures its<br />

human resources to implement its overall<br />

strategy….<br />

….. Breaking down this data by gender enables an<br />

understanding of gender representation across an<br />

organization, and of the optimal use of available<br />

labor and talent.<br />

GRI G3.1 Guidelines


MANAGEMENT APPROACH<br />

Employment:<br />

Localization and Seniority<br />

While respecting diversity, the company focuses on localization. Majority of employees is from local<br />

community. We break down the workforce by employment type, employment contract and region<br />

in order to structure our human resource in align with operation strategy.<br />

‘Managing workforce is to<br />

manage our Talents. It is <strong>Jia</strong> <strong>Hsin</strong><br />

labor concept.<br />

Respect, Share and Care – It is <strong>Jia</strong><br />

<strong>Hsin</strong> labor policy’<br />

W<br />

orkforce is our<br />

treasure. Managing<br />

workforce is<br />

managing talents. Respect,<br />

Share and Care are the<br />

cornerstones of our labor<br />

policy. The company vision<br />

reflects our workforce<br />

management principle.<br />

Human Resource Management<br />

is assigned to handle the<br />

workforce issues. The<br />

company establishes<br />

workforce management policy<br />

and relevant procedures to<br />

guide the Human Resource<br />

Department in workforce<br />

management.<br />

B<br />

eing aware of the<br />

importance of<br />

workforce<br />

management, the company<br />

decided to setup Human<br />

Resource Management System<br />

(HRMS) since 2010. The<br />

company joined the HRMS<br />

Project and prolonged its<br />

implementation in year 2011.<br />

Together with HR<br />

Reformation, the HRMS makes<br />

the company structure more<br />

reasonable, supports the<br />

operation and improves the<br />

working environment.<br />

Obviously, they will<br />

contribute to the workforce<br />

stability<br />

male workers.<br />

This proportion does not change too much over<br />

of female supervisors and 46.5% of male<br />

supervisors. There is not much fluctuation<br />

over the months of the year. Align with the<br />

ratio of female and male employees, the<br />

supervisor ratio indicates more weight on the<br />

female group. Obviously it does not imply the<br />

gender discrimination during recruitment. The<br />

nature of job decides the workforce gender<br />

and supervisor gender is a consequence.

employees. There are 1-year contract and 3-year contract category. In year 2011, average<br />

58% of employees sign 1-year contract and the remain 42% sign 3-year contract. There is not much<br />

change between genders and contract types since last year. It reflects our workforce stability.<br />

y region, we define local or migration employees based on 2 geographical areas: Long An<br />

and Other Provinces. The below exhibition indicates the ratio of local employee and<br />

migration employee, broken down by gender. In general, the local community contributes<br />

63% to our total workforce. Migration workers mainly come from surrounding areas such as<br />

Mekong Delta provinces and Hochiminh City. The company does not have a considerable migration<br />

workforce from the Central or Northern areas of Vietnam. The number of migration workforce has<br />

direct impact to our workforce stabilization, especially in holidays season, and labor disputes,<br />

especially in culture.<br />

For both local and migration employees, the gender ratio has a slight change. By region, type of<br />

contract and function, the gender ratio is basically homogeneous.<br />

OVERVIEW<br />

The company awares that<br />

“hight turnover rate<br />

indicates levels of<br />

uncertainty and<br />

dissatisfaction among<br />

employees, or may signal a<br />

fundamental change in the<br />

structure of the<br />

organization’s core<br />

operations” (GRI G3.1). It<br />

setups the KPI of Turnover<br />

Rate to measure its<br />

performance in this issue.<br />

This indicator is monitor<br />

monthly. For long-term<br />

strategy, the company build<br />

up Human Resource<br />

Management System<br />

(HRMS) with relevant<br />

policies and procedures to<br />

bring more benefits to<br />

employees and develop our<br />

workforce to higher level.<br />

HR Department is the key<br />

assigned section in<br />

handling this indicator. HR<br />

needs to identify current<br />

status against objectives<br />

and targets. Based on gap<br />

identification, HR need to<br />

propose a plan to reduce<br />

the resign and improve<br />

retention.<br />

<strong>Co</strong>mpare to year 2010<br />

turnover rate, we are only<br />

0.11% lower. However, the<br />

company can meet the<br />

target of maximum 5%<br />

average turnover rate that<br />

we set in year 2010.<br />

For rate of new employee<br />

hires, we start to report this<br />

year. We acknowledge the<br />

report about new employee<br />

hires broken down by age,<br />

gender, region will reflect<br />

our ability in attracting<br />

qualified and diversified<br />

employees. We will start to<br />

monitor this rate and set<br />

NEW EMPLOYEES<br />

In year 2011, the company hired 856<br />

people. Through the exhibition LA2-1, we<br />

can immediately see the diversity of the<br />

new workforce. By gender, it is again align<br />

with other indicator related to workforce<br />

since the female takes more than 60% of<br />

total new employees. Same circumstance<br />

with region criteria. By age, majority is<br />

employees under 30 years old. It implies<br />

that our workforce is quite young<br />

TURNOVER RATE<br />

Employees leave our company for various reasons.<br />

Main reasons are going back hometown for<br />

working or quit during Tet Holidays. Some quit<br />

during our low season to find another job with<br />

overtime for better earnings.<br />

As reported in year 2010, we have a great change in<br />

our policy that retains all employees in low season<br />

instead of no extension of our labor contract. The<br />

turnover rate goes down dramatically since year<br />

2010.<br />

Our Cutting worker – Mai Van Ngoan<br />

Total Employees leaving employment in year 2011<br />

are 901 persons. It almost balances with the new<br />

employees hired. <strong>Co</strong>mpared to 986 persons left in<br />

year 2010, the number is slightly less. It results in<br />

0.11% lower than year 2010 rate.

New local employees leaves 580 64.37%<br />

New migration employees leaves 321 35.63%<br />

If we review by gender, we will not<br />

find the considerable difference in<br />

leaving number. However, there is a<br />

big gap between under-30-age group<br />

and above-30-age group. It implies<br />

that young people prefer to change<br />

job for more opportunities while<br />

above 30-age workers want to stay<br />

with their job to secure stable earning<br />

for family. Similarly, migration<br />

workers have fewer advantages than<br />

local people, their living expenses are<br />

higher, then they will not take risks.<br />

PLANNING FOR THE FUTURE<br />

Workforce stabilization is among the important actions<br />

supporting the implementation and success of 2015<br />

strategy. To achieve the 2015 business target of 10-<br />

million-pair sales and prepare the equivalent production<br />

capacity, manpower must be stable and skillful enough to<br />

gain double pph (productivity per person per hour).<br />

From year 2012 onward, the Board of Management will<br />

focus on building the capacity for Human Resource<br />

Department and setup the Human Resources<br />

Management System.<br />

FLA - Fair wage project is another activity to improve the<br />

wage policy which is a way to keep workers. The<br />

company will also support the communication and<br />

industrial relationships to enhance the mutual<br />

understanding and cooperation between management<br />

and workers.<br />

LA 7 - Health and safety performance is a key<br />

measure of an organization’s duty of care. Low injury<br />

and absentee rates are generally linked to positive<br />

trends in staff morale and productivity. This Indicator<br />

will show whether health and safety management<br />

practices are resulting in fewer occupational health<br />

The company sets certain principles in reporting on this indicator. These principles are basement<br />

for data collecion and computation.<br />

1. The company reports both major and minor<br />

injuries (at first-aid levels). This aims to<br />

completely review the current status for<br />

proper action plan for future.<br />

2. In Lost Days Rate, the unit “Day” means<br />

schedule work day and it is counted by the<br />

day after incident. This aims to secure a<br />

relevant connection to factor “work hours”<br />

used to compute the lost days rate.<br />

3. Injuries rate captures fatalities. However,<br />

there is no fatality this year, the “Injury<br />

Rate” purely covers major and minor<br />

injuries.<br />

4. The factor 200,000 used in computation<br />

formula is derived from 50 working weeks<br />

at 40 hours per 100 employees. By using<br />

this factor, the resulting rate is related to<br />

the number of employees, not the number<br />

of hours (GRI G3.1).


PROCEDURE OF ACCIDENT INVESTIGATION<br />

The company has issued the Procedure of<br />

Accident Investigation to guide the<br />

investigating, recording and reporting<br />

accidents. We established the investigation<br />

team who would work with injured workers,<br />

supervisor and involved workers to understand<br />

the injury level and accident root causes.<br />

Investigation Record Sheet will be issued to all<br />

relevant parties. Based on investigation record<br />

sheet, the HR Dept. will arrange insurance and<br />

benefits, the HSE team will do corrective<br />

actions to prevent the accident repition, and CR<br />

team will record in the CSR software, then<br />

report to Long An Department of Labor,<br />

Invalidity and Social Affairs (DOLISA) quarterly.<br />

RATE OF INJURY, OCCUPATIONAL DISEASES, LOST DAYS<br />

AND ABSENTEEISM<br />

Injury is understood as minor and major hurt<br />

to workers during working time, including<br />

traffic accident right before and after working<br />

time, in a proper moving route between home<br />

and factory.<br />

Occupational Disease is defined as disease<br />

from working environment and/or activities<br />

and/or results of work-related injury<br />

Lost day is counted when a worker is not<br />

able to perform usual work because of injury<br />

and/or occupational disease.<br />

Absenteeism is worker’s absence from work<br />

because of any kind of incapacity. Permitted<br />

leave such as holidays, annual leave and<br />

maternity are excluded.<br />

In order to calculate the rate of above factors, we use GRI formula as below<br />

Cases/days of injury/disease/lost/absence<br />

IR/ODR/LDR/ODR = x 200,000<br />

Total working hours/day<br />

Below Exhibition LA7-2<br />

displays the gerneral IR,<br />

ODR, LDR and ODR in year<br />

2011.<br />

In this year, we also report<br />

the minor injury rate to<br />

have better understanding<br />

on our performance. For<br />

every 100 employees, there<br />

is 0.26 employee exposing<br />

to the risk of incidents.<br />

<strong>Co</strong>mpare to last year, we<br />

don’t have more major<br />

accidents.<br />

For occupational disease<br />

rate, we have zero case,<br />

compare to 4 cases in year<br />

2010. During the<br />

occupational disease check,<br />

there are 11 suspicious<br />

cases. The company doctor<br />

has reviewed the cases and<br />

found side effect from other<br />

diseases causing the<br />

symptom of occupational<br />

disease. Involved workers<br />

were counseled on<br />

treatment of other disease.<br />

Re-check has confirmed<br />

that there is no<br />

occupational disease.<br />

In lost days and<br />

absenteeism, we are not<br />

able to meet the target.<br />

<strong>Co</strong>mpared with year 2010,<br />

lost day rate increases<br />

more than 4.5 times and<br />

absenteeism is 1.2 times<br />

higher. This implies that<br />

our accidents seems more<br />

serious because workers<br />

take longer unavailable<br />

work-time. We will focus<br />

more in safety as it will<br />

have serious effects to both<br />

employees and operation.<br />

Exhibition LA7-3. Rate of injuries, occupational disease, lost day and<br />

absenteeism by regions and gender<br />

By breaking down the rate into<br />

regions and gender, we see a<br />

significant difference between<br />

them in all four types of rate.<br />

In Injury and occupational<br />

disease rate, we focus to<br />

gender comparison as<br />

characteristics of each gender<br />

will effect to the rate. Female<br />

workers naturally seem more<br />

careful than Male workers,<br />

therefore the rate for female is<br />

lower. Lost days rate has the<br />

same nature because it is the<br />

consequence of IR and ODR.<br />

Region criterion does not<br />

much effect to the resulted rate<br />

In Absenteeism, it is not<br />

surprised to see the adverse<br />

trend in both Gender and<br />

Region criteria. Female<br />

workers are often off working<br />

for common reasons such as<br />

child care, normal disease,<br />

family issues. Male workers<br />

more focus on external job<br />

while female has to handle<br />

housewife job.<br />

In region criteria, it is<br />

understandable that migration<br />

workers absent more days<br />

than local as they need more<br />

time for transportation back<br />

home town and spend more<br />

holidays with family.<br />

By understanding the nature of the indicator, we can easily perform management system. In year<br />

2012, we need to perform better in these aspects. We will try to have at least 5%-10% reduce for<br />

each criterion. We believe that the OHSAS 18001 will support us to achieve this target.


Training and<br />

Education<br />

LA 8 - As part of a preventative strategy for managing<br />

the health and safety of its workforce, this Indicator is<br />

relevant for any organization….<br />

... The Indicator helps demonstrate the extent to which<br />

such issues have been addressed in organizational<br />

programs and the degree to which best practices are<br />

applied. Preventing serious diseases contributes to the<br />

health, satisfaction, and stability of the workforce, and<br />

helps maintain the organization’s social license to<br />

operate in a community or region<br />

GRI G3.1 Guidelines


MANAGEMENT APPROACH<br />

Preventing serious diseases contributes to the<br />

health, satisfaction, and stability of the<br />

workforce, and helps maintain the<br />

organization’s social license to operate in a<br />

community or region (GRI G3.1)<br />

Based on company occupational health and<br />

safety policy, the company assigned Health<br />

and Safety <strong>Co</strong>mmittee to arrange necessary<br />

training, education and improvement<br />

activities to help prevent the serious<br />

diseases. The training and education were<br />

done with support and collaboration from<br />

local medical agencies because we did not<br />

have sufficient expertise.<br />

This practice has been done in year 2010 and<br />

we are happy to see that we have better<br />

performance in year 2011. We will keep<br />

doing more and better to increase our social<br />

contribution to the local community.<br />

TOP 5 PRIORITIZED SERIOUS DISEASES<br />

Serious diseases are Occupational or nonoccupational<br />

related impairment of health<br />

with serious consequences for employees,<br />

their families, and the communities<br />

(GRI G3.1)<br />

The Center of Preventive Health Services of<br />

Can Duoc District, where we operate, has<br />

defined the top 5 prioritized serious<br />

diseases in year 2011 as following:<br />

1. Petechial fever<br />

2. Avian Influenza Virus A subtype H5N1<br />

3. Neisseria Meningitidis<br />

4. Tuberculosis<br />

5. Hand – Foot – Mouth Disease<br />

CASE<br />

Tuberculosis Searching Program<br />

Tuberculosis is listed in top 5 prioritized serious diseases of Long An Province. In<br />

collaboration with Center of Preventive Health Services of Long An, <strong>Jia</strong> <strong>Hsin</strong><br />

implemented the Tuberculosis Searching Program in July-2011.<br />

The doctors from Center of Preventive Health Services of Long An have done the<br />

tuberculosis check for 294 workers and done straight radiography for 136 workers.<br />

Two suspicious cases were found.<br />

In August-2011, the company doctor conducted the counsel and support the workers<br />

in treatment. The workers have taken the radiography and sputum test again. The<br />

result is negative.


RISKS CONTROL<br />

The serious disease suffering not only effects to mind and body,<br />

but also causes financial burden to involved families. It is quite<br />

critical to conduct Risk <strong>Co</strong>ntrol to prevent the serious diseases in<br />

our workforce and their families. We define “Risks” as of the<br />

unfortune, damages, lost and danger that directly impact to<br />

health and finance of our workforce and their families. “Risk<br />

<strong>Co</strong>ntrol” are the pratices that we do or contribute to practices of<br />

local medical agencies in order to limit the exposure and<br />

transmission of diseases by our workforce and their families.<br />

ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS<br />

Assistance programs are done via propaganda, training,<br />

education, counsel and medical check.<br />

occupational disease, infected with serious diseases and classified in group of the 4, 5, 6 health<br />

level.<br />

Exhibition LA8-1 reports the number of our workers benefiting from our programs. <strong>Co</strong>mpare to<br />

year 2010, 100% of our employees are trained, 161 workers were counseled and 736 workers<br />

were treated. There was no treatment in year 2010. We are happy to see improvement. In year<br />

2012, we will try to expand official program to community


Diversity and Equal<br />

Opportunity<br />

LA14 - Many countries have introduced legislation<br />

to enforce the principle of equal pay for work of<br />

equal value. This issue is supported by ILO<br />

<strong>Co</strong>nvention 100 on ‘Equal Remuneration for Men<br />

and Women Workers for Work of Equal Value’.<br />

Equality of remuneration is a factor in retaining<br />

qualified employees in the workforce. Where<br />

imbalances exist, an organization runs a risk to its<br />

reputation and legal challenges on the basis of<br />

discrimination.<br />

GRI G3.1 Guidelines


RATIO OF SALARY OF WOMEN TO MEN<br />

Diversity and equal opportunity is an important factor to secure the stability of workforce. Equal opportunity<br />

can be gained by respecting non-discrimination policy. The company has been adhering to the nondiscrimination<br />

principle over the years and it is a component of our code of conduct.<br />

While chasing equality concept, we enrich the workforce diversity. We employ workforce from different<br />

nationalities, genders, cultures and sociality. Salary scale is not established based on difference of gender or<br />

nationality. Instead, it reflects the expertise, seniority, education and job responsibility. The Human Resource<br />

Department takes the account of implementing this policy.<br />

WORKFORCE BY CATEGORY AND FUNCTION<br />

Workforce is divided into 6 categories as displayed in exhibition LA14-1. By function, we have 4<br />

divisions as shown in exhibition LA14-2. The breakdown by category and function indicate the<br />

structure of company and diversity of its workforce.<br />

Energy<br />

EN 3 - Energy consumption has a direct effect on<br />

operational costs and exposure to fluctuations in<br />

energy supply and prices. The environmental<br />

footprint of the organization is shaped in part by<br />

its choice of energy sources. Changes in the<br />

balance of these sources can indicate the<br />

organization’s efforts to minimize its<br />

environmental impacts.<br />

EN4 - The particular effect indirect energy usage<br />

has on climate change depends on the type of<br />

primary energy used to generate intermediate<br />

energy.<br />

MANAGEMENT APPROACH<br />

Energy is defined among the most concerned<br />

components in <strong>Jia</strong> <strong>Hsin</strong> Environment Strategy.<br />

The company has set a long-term target of 25%<br />

reduction of consumption for the period 2010-<br />

2015. The target was cascaded down to all<br />

employees. Sustainability Organization takes the<br />

duty to implement necessary programs to<br />

support the company in meeting the target.<br />

CASE : CONSERV PROJECT<br />

<strong>Co</strong>nserv project is a capacity building implemented by<br />

Puma in cooperation with ASSIST and co-financed by DEG.<br />

<strong>Co</strong>nserv stands for <strong>Co</strong>nservation of Environment Resources<br />

in Vietnam. The project aims to support Puma Suppliers in<br />

implementing necessary activities in order to save Vietnam<br />

environment resources in general and meet environmental<br />

objectives and targets set for Puma Supply Chain in<br />

particular.<br />

<strong>Jia</strong> <strong>Hsin</strong> decided to participate into this project to build up<br />

capacity for company staffs in order to implement<br />

necessary activities to meet the following company<br />

objectives and targets :<br />

1. <strong>Co</strong>mpany vision and mission : To become a<br />

responsible supplier<br />

2. <strong>Co</strong>mpany CR strategy : Sustainable compliance &<br />

development<br />

3. <strong>Co</strong>mpany 3-year strategy (2012-2015) : Reduce 25%<br />

in energy consumption, water consumption, electricity<br />

consumption and wastes generation.<br />

The project started up from Sep-2011 and plans to finish by<br />

the end of year 2012<br />

To guide the organization in this aspect, the<br />

company issued the Procedure of Energy<br />

Management. We conduct internal audit to<br />

ensure that the policy is properly implemented.<br />

<strong>Co</strong>mpany consumes both Direct Energy and<br />

Indirect Energy. The most concern of Direct<br />

Energy is Fuel and most focus of Indirect Energy<br />

is Electricity. Sustainability Team has been doing<br />

various types of training, on Environment<br />

aspects in general and Energy Saving in<br />

particular, to all employees, from Top<br />

Management down to direct workers.<br />

For long-term, we plan to implement cleaner<br />

production and energy management system. We<br />

also started in year 2010 the strategy of<br />

changing Fuel by another environment friendly<br />

energy resource. With both short-term and longterm<br />

plan, we trust that <strong>Jia</strong> <strong>Hsin</strong> will be<br />

successful in this aspect.<br />

CASE : ALTERNATIVE FOR F.O OILS<br />

Starting from year 2010, we seek alternative F.O oil, the<br />

most concerned Direct Energy in the company. F.O oil is<br />

used to heat boilers which providing steam for<br />

machineries. We plan to replace F.O Oil by rice husk. The<br />

new energy resource is natural and rich in Vietnam. Rice<br />

husk ash can become a secondary resource for farming. It<br />

can be used as fertilizer.<br />

<strong>Jia</strong> <strong>Hsin</strong> started to work on it with Natural Resources and<br />

Environment <strong>Co</strong>nsulting Center (NREC) of Hochiminh city<br />

<strong>Co</strong>llege for National Resources and Environment. Ms.<br />

Nguyen Thi Truyen, Deputy Director of NREC, has done the<br />

project analysis. We unfortunately can not proceed further<br />

this project as it needs a large financial investment. We<br />

keep looking for sponsorship.


Direct Energy <strong>Co</strong>nsumption<br />

<strong>Co</strong>mpany Direct Energy is defined as of fossil fuel distilled from crude oil, including gasoline, liquefied<br />

petroleum gas (LPG), lubricant, F.O and D.O oil. Those are classified as non-renewable energy sources.<br />

No renewable energy source exists in the operation process.<br />

The company monitors the direct energy<br />

consumption periodically. At each energy<br />

consumption process, we assign staff to record<br />

the figures daily, weekly or monthly. Assigned<br />

staff will input the records into K.I.M of CSR<br />

Application for analysis and corrective action<br />

(if needed). The company monitor following<br />

<br />

<br />

EN003 – gasoline for cars and bus<br />

EN004 – DO oil for cars and generator<br />

EN005 – LPG for canteen<br />

EN013 – FO oil for boiler<br />

EN023 – Lubricants for machineries<br />

We focus to analysis on LPG and DO oil. Based<br />

on exhibition EN3-1, they are the most<br />

consumption sectors. In down time from April<br />

to August, oil volume goes down as less<br />

production, but LPG keep its leverage as<br />

canteen still need to provide meals to<br />

employees. Reverse situation happens in peak<br />

production time from September to March.<br />

Basically, the consumption volume is stable.<br />

However, the consumption per pair index<br />

widely fluctuates as it depends on production<br />

volume. Referring exhibition EN3-2, we can find<br />

that down time has very high index while peak<br />

is much better. Volume is mostly stable while<br />

divisor, i.e production quantity, sharply<br />

changes between the two periods, making the<br />

index vary.<br />

We have done well in this indicator. The index<br />

of average consumption per pair of year 2011 is<br />

0.05 GJ against 0.277 GJ of year 2010<br />

Indirect Energy <strong>Co</strong>nsumption<br />

Electricity is the key and only Indirect Energy in our facility. Each operation process and point needs<br />

power. Majority consumption is from machineries and lighting. There is also electricity loss due to<br />

leakage and machinery’s inefficiency.<br />

Exhibition EN4-1: Monthly consumption 2011<br />

significant effect to the index of consumption<br />

per pair as there is almost no production<br />

output. The effect is reflected in below<br />

exhibition EN4-2 “Monthly electricity<br />

consumption per pair”. It is important to<br />

consider the consumption per pair to<br />

evaluate the efficiency.<br />

With same nature of direct energy resources,<br />

electricity consumption varies between peak<br />

and low production period. With in low<br />

production months, electricity is mostly used<br />

In comparison to year 2010, we consume<br />

17,6% more since we increase 44,66% of<br />

production volume. It is a reasonable<br />

increase. For index of consumption per pair,<br />

we are not possible to compare as this is the<br />

first year we report on this indicator.<br />

YEAR 2012 ACTION PLAN<br />

We are almost half way of<br />

strategic plan and need to be<br />

more active in year 2012 to<br />

achieve our target of 25%<br />

reduction in Energy<br />

<strong>Co</strong>nsumption. At least, we<br />

need to save 5% in year 2012.<br />

We expect the technical<br />

support from <strong>Co</strong>nserv. By<br />

effectively implement<br />

<strong>Co</strong>nserv, we believe that the<br />

company can earn a lot of<br />

benefits in general and reduce<br />

energy consumption in<br />

particular.<br />

Another long-term strategy<br />

that we need to pursue is the<br />

alternative of FO oil. More<br />

researches should be done to<br />

seek for approval of<br />

Investment <strong>Co</strong>mpany and<br />

Water<br />

EN8 - The total volume withdrawn<br />

provides an indication of the<br />

organization’s relative size and<br />

importance as a user of water, and<br />

provides a baseline figure for other<br />

calculations relating to efficiency and use<br />

…. Total water use can also indicate the<br />

level of risk posed by disruptions to<br />

water supplies or increases in the cost of<br />

water. Clean freshwater is becoming<br />

increasingly scarce, and can impact<br />

production processes that rely on large<br />

volumes of water.<br />

ANAGEMENT APPROACH<br />

Industrial Park is the key water<br />

source for the facilities operating<br />

inside the park. Disregard disadvantages<br />

coming from monopoly, we can enjoy a rather<br />

good water source.<br />

Water is among the expensive resources. It<br />

becomes a headache problem for any<br />

enterprises with some-thousand workforce.<br />

<strong>Jia</strong> <strong>Hsin</strong> put a control system to ensure that<br />

our water is not waste away. The<br />

consumption in year 2011 rises, but analysis<br />

report states that this increase is reasonable.<br />

+151%<br />

Average use<br />

+113%<br />

Average use/head<br />

Total use<br />

However, the company supposes that there<br />

will be rooms for improvement. Policies have<br />

been issued to guide the internal usage and<br />

management of water. Domestic water and<br />

production water is measured and analyzed<br />

to ensure a reasonable consumption.<br />

D<br />

ATA COLLECTION<br />

Meter is used to measure consumption. There is a main meter installed at the connect<br />

point between industrial park pump and company main pump. Meters are also<br />

installed at the beginning points of water pump that lead to each workshop and<br />

department.<br />

<strong>Co</strong>mpany assigns Administration staff and Mechanic staff to record the figures of water<br />

consumption into Record Book and CSR software. The data later on will be checked by<br />

CR officer and reviewed by Operation Manager. There is no measurement for collect<br />

rainwater so far.


W<br />

ATER WITHDRAWAL<br />

Total volume of water withdraw from<br />

Industrial Park Source is identified in<br />

below exhibition EN8-1 “Monthly water<br />

consumption in 2010 & 2011”<br />

As clearly shown in the chart, the water<br />

withdraw volume goes up month by month,<br />

from 1,656m 3 in January to 4,398 m 3 in<br />

December, summed up to 33,680m 3 for the<br />

whole year 2011. It is 151% higher than<br />

withdraw volume of year 2010.<br />

we temporarily used the water from a<br />

small pool at the back of company facilities<br />

and this volume was not recorded.<br />

3. Industrial park water is stable and no more<br />

usage from standby deep well. In year<br />

2010, we sometimes used it<br />

4. We hire more workers and produce more<br />

pairs in year 2011 leading to more<br />

consumption.<br />

Exhibition EN8-1. Monthly water consumption<br />

Monthly records noted some key reasons for<br />

the rise in year 2011 and higher consumption<br />

compared to year 2010 as below:<br />

1. Printing workshops use water to clean silk<br />

screens with water-based chemical. They<br />

rarely used water for production in year<br />

2010 because the paint is solvent-based.<br />

2. <strong>Co</strong>mpany uses water from industrial park<br />

source for plants watering. In year 2010,<br />

W<br />

ATER INDEX<br />

The company creates and evaluates<br />

the Key Performance Indicator<br />

(KPI) of Water consumption/head.<br />

Exhibition EN8-2. Water consumption per head<br />

<strong>Co</strong>mputation for this KPI is to divide total<br />

volume by total workforce. Purpose of<br />

evaluating and managing this KPI is to ensure a<br />

reasonable consumption. If we just compare the<br />

volume between the months and years, we<br />

hardly possible understand if the fluctuation is<br />

reasonable or not.<br />

<strong>Co</strong>mpare to year 2010, the Index is much<br />

higher. As explained above, the index of the two<br />

years is influenced by data collection method.<br />

Some of volume is not recorded in year 2010<br />

such as withdraw from deep well or nature<br />

pool. We recognize the impacts and plan to<br />

remove such influence from year 2012 onwards.


Emission,<br />

relative size and importance of these missions<br />

compared to other organizations.<br />

EN21 – Discharging effluents or process water to a<br />

facility for treatment not only reduces pollution levels,<br />

but can also lower the organization’s financial costs<br />

and the risk of regulatory action for non-compliance<br />

with environmental regulation.<br />

EN22 – Data on waste generation figures over several<br />

Emissions, Effluents and Wastes:<br />

Replace, Reduce and Resolve before Release<br />

The company acknowledges its large consumption of energy and other resources. We are also aware<br />

of emissions, effluents and wastes we release to the environment as well as our responsibility in<br />

handling our releases. We follow the 4R policy: Replace, Reduce and Resolve before Release<br />

‘We follow the 4R policy -<br />

Assessment to identify<br />

environmental impacts from<br />

its operation. The corrective<br />

and improvement actions are<br />

set based on the priority of<br />

We set first priority for<br />

“Replace” actions because it<br />

will remove the risks and<br />

Direct and Indirect Green-House Gas Emissions<br />

METHODOLOGY<br />

GRI G3.1 Guideline states that Green-House<br />

Gas (GHG) emissions are the main cause of<br />

climate change and are governed by the<br />

United Nations framework <strong>Co</strong>nvention on<br />

Climate Change (UNFCC) and the subsequent<br />

Kyoto Protocol. Vietnam also has its own<br />

program to control the volume and reward<br />

the reduction of GHG emissions. In align with<br />

these international and local regulations, the<br />

company started to monitor the GHG from<br />

year 2011 onward.<br />

Both Direct and Indirect GHG emissions exist<br />

in company manufacturing process. Direct<br />

Energy sources in the company such as Oil,<br />

LPG, and gasoline emit popular GHG such as<br />

CO 2, CH 4, N 2O when they are burned. Indirect<br />

Energy, including electricity and steam, do<br />

not create GHG emission by themselves, but<br />

they are born from Direct Energy sources that<br />

emit GHG.<br />

The company computes the volume of GHG<br />

based on the volume of Direct and Indirect<br />

Energy consumption reported in Energy<br />

Aspect. The conversion is made in accordance<br />

with 2011 Guidelines to Defra / DECC's GHG<br />

to find out a standard or common rate for comparison and evaluate our performance in this<br />

indicator. We are also not possible to compare with previous record as this is the first time we<br />

monitor and report on this indicator. We target to reduce 5% of the GHG emissions in year 2012<br />

Significant Air Emissions<br />

The company “Major Environmental Aspects Assessment” has identified the adverse effects of air<br />

pollution on habitats and human health. Certain air pollution not only limits its impacts on the<br />

employees, but also spreads to the surrounding living environment and community people<br />

Key air emission sources: Boiler, Printing, Chemical <strong>Co</strong>ating, Buffing and Chemical Mixing<br />

IDENTIFY SIGNIFICANT AIR EMISSIONS<br />

Based on the Major Environmental Aspects<br />

Assessment Report and the Quarterly<br />

Environmental Monitor Report, the company<br />

is able to identity the key emission sources<br />

and significant air emissions.<br />

The assessment reports list out following key<br />

processes and operations having significant<br />

emissions:<br />

1. Boiler and generator emits NO x, SO x and<br />

CO 2<br />

2. Chemical coating, chemical mixing and<br />

printing emits volatile organic compound<br />

(VOC) and HAP<br />

3. Buffing, warehouses, cutting and stitching<br />

create dusts, particular matter (PM)<br />

4. Transportation emit particular matter<br />

(PM) and CO 2<br />

COMPUTE WEIGHT<br />

In order to know the weight of these<br />

significant emissions, we follow the<br />

computation as below:<br />

Weight = Flow x Standard <strong>Co</strong>ncentration<br />

Standard concentration and unit air flow are<br />

indicated in our quarterly Environmental<br />

Monitor Report. Airflow per month is


calculated based on actual working hours and<br />

average working days of 26.<br />

Exhibition EN20-1 shows the weight the<br />

significant air emissions by month in the year<br />

2011 that we measure and compute by above<br />

formula. Total emission weight is 165,454<br />

kgs. <strong>Co</strong>mpare to 168,205 kgs of year 2010, we<br />

achieve 1,64% reduction.<br />

CONTROL VOC INDEX<br />

VOC index is our key concern in this aspect<br />

since it directly effects to the employees’<br />

health. VOC index reflects the weight of<br />

organic compounds, from chemicals used in<br />

production of each pair of product, volatilized<br />

into the air. If the workers expose with<br />

chemical volatilization, they will inhale the<br />

hazardous chemicals and take the risk of<br />

serious diseases. It is important to measure<br />

the VOC index and treat it with the 4R<br />

principle.<br />

VOC index is computed by following formula:<br />

VOC Index = Total VOC weight /<br />

production quantity<br />

VOC weight is measured by the method that<br />

presented in “<strong>Co</strong>mpute the weight”. By<br />

dividing it by production, we know the weight<br />

of VOC per pair.<br />

Together with controlling the weights of air<br />

emission, we also manage the quality of the<br />

Water Discharge<br />

The amount and quality of the water discharged by the<br />

reporting organization is directly linked to ecological impact<br />

and operating costs (GRI-RG G3.1)<br />

DISCHARGE SOURCE<br />

Footwear production does not discharge a<br />

large amount of production waste water.<br />

Since the year 2010, we started to convert the<br />

solvent-based chemicals into water-based<br />

ones, then the printing workshops started to<br />

discharge waste water. In printing process,<br />

silkscreen needs to be cleaned by water to<br />

remove the existing color before changing<br />

into another color. Cleaning process<br />

discharges waste water with chemicals’<br />

residues.<br />

DISCHARGE DESTINATION<br />

The company located inside Industrial Park<br />

(IP) and it is mandatory to connect our water<br />

discharge system to IP discharge system. The<br />

connection was verified and confirmed by the<br />

IP management company. After joining the IP<br />

discharge system, our waste water will go to<br />

IP waster water treatment facility for sewage<br />

disposal before being released to municipal<br />

discharge system.<br />

DISCHARGE VOLUME & DISPOSAL METHOD<br />

Total discharge volume is 171.20 m 3 , equivalent to 0.63% of<br />

domestic water discharge. Although the volume is not high and<br />

test report indicates that it is not hazardous category, we treat<br />

them carefully before release them to IP system. We apply the<br />

chemical reaction and filling method in treating the waste water.<br />

PAC, NaOH, H 2SO 4 and Polymer are used to reduce BOD, COD,<br />

residues and balance pH. After being treated with chemicals, waste<br />

water will go to Middle Pool for accumulation, then clean water<br />

will be filtered by activated carbon in the Filling Pool before being<br />

released to IP waste water treatment system.<br />

Wastes and Wastes Disposal<br />

WASTE IDENTIFY<br />

Footwear production, especially EVA sandals<br />

process, creates a huge amount of waste which<br />

are classified in both hazardous and nonhazardous<br />

categories. Wastes are identified as<br />

of:<br />

1. Domestic wastes, from daily uses<br />

2. Production wastes, from materials trimming,<br />

leftover or defects<br />

3. Hazardous wastes, from chemicals leftover or<br />

residues, chemicals containers, equipments<br />

with hazardous chemicals.<br />

4. Medical wastes, from clinic activities.<br />

Hazardous wastes are defined based on<br />

Circular No. 12/2011/TT-BTNMT issued by<br />

Ministry of Resources and Environment dd.<br />

14/4/2011.<br />

WASTE WEIGHT<br />

Wastes are weighed and recorded by assigned staff of<br />

General Affairs Dept. on daily basis.<br />

The subcontractor has transportation means and disposal<br />

facilities that meet related legal requirements.<br />

Below are the waste disposal methods to be applied:<br />

1) Non-hazardous wastes: Recycle and reuse certain<br />

production wastes. Domestic wastes will be land-filled.<br />

2) Hazardous wastes:<br />

- Used oil, lubricant and containers: Oil recovery<br />

(catalytic thermal equipment, centrifuges), sludge<br />

disposal in incinerators. ( TCVN 5945:2005 – 6560:<br />

2005 );<br />

As consequence, 76% of wastes are<br />

recycled. 22% is of landfill and 2% can<br />

be reused.<br />

For year 2012, our target is 5%<br />

reductin and we trust that we can<br />

achive it.


4R principle is the guidance<br />

for our changing. We launch 3-<br />

year strategic plan to lead our<br />

implementation. In align with<br />

the strategic plan, from year<br />

2010 we started to REPLACE<br />

the solvent-based chemicals<br />

by water-based chemicals to<br />

cut down the VOC weight and<br />

VOC index. Thanks to this<br />

effort, we make drastic change<br />

in VOC index. We REDUCE<br />

total air emission weight<br />

Social performance -<br />

Society<br />

SO8 - The level of non-compliance within the<br />

organization helps to indicate the ability of<br />

management to ensure that operations conform to<br />

certain performance parameters From an<br />

economic perspective, ensuring compliance helps<br />

to reduce financial risks that occur either directly<br />

through fines or indirectly through impacts on<br />

reputation. The strength of an organization’s<br />

compliance record can also affect its ability to<br />

expand operations or gain permit<br />

<strong>Co</strong>mpliance to legal requirements is mandatory and most important principle in company<br />

management. Together with <strong>Co</strong>mpany Vision and Stakeholder’s <strong>Co</strong>ncerns, Legal Requirement become<br />

our cornerstone for establishing our management systems.<br />

All Heads of Department are required to keep themselves updated on the legislations and<br />

international standards to prevent the non-compliance caused by lack of information. Any intentional<br />

violation will be treated in according to our disciplinary.<br />

MONETARY FINES AND NON-MONETARY<br />

SANCTIONS<br />

We have not done well in year 2011 with this<br />

indicator. There are two monetary fines<br />

levied on our non-compliance in canteen<br />

management and sub-contractor tax.<br />

For the canteen management, the company aware<br />

on the requirement of gaining Certificate of<br />

Hygiene and Safety Food. Due to delay in apply<br />

progress, our Meal Subcontractor is not able to<br />

present the certificate during checking of<br />

authority.<br />

For foreign subcontractor tax, the violation is<br />

caused by lack of information. Our Account<br />

Department did not aware on this new<br />

requirement. Upon finding violation, we<br />

spontaneously report to Tax Department and<br />

fulfill our tax duty plus monetary fines though<br />

other footwear suppliers keep this issue glossed<br />

over.<br />

Further to this problem, the company has strictly<br />

required all departments to ensure that they are<br />

updated on new regulations. The company signs<br />

contract with a Legal Resources Service to timely<br />

provide us new requirements. We also establish<br />

the List of Legal Requirements and Other<br />

Requirements (for international standards and<br />

customer’s requirement) as guidance to our<br />

management. By doing this, we subject to no<br />

violation and no fines in the coming year<br />

<strong>Co</strong>mpliance to legal requirements is mandatory and most<br />

important principle in company management. We draw a moral<br />

from our violation. Spontaneously report and accept fines is a way<br />

to show our commitment on compliance to legal requirements<br />

Human Rights<br />

HR2 – Processes that screen and monitor human<br />

rights performance within the supply chain,<br />

contractors and other business partners can<br />

provide evidence of an organization’s positive<br />

and/or negative impact on the wider business<br />

community.<br />

HR5 – This Indicator aims to reveal actions that<br />

the reporting organization has taken to evaluate<br />

whether opportunities exist for workers to<br />

exercise their rights to freedom of association<br />

and collective bargaining. It also aims to reveal<br />

actions that have been taken to support these<br />

rights across the organization’s range of<br />

operations<br />

HR6 – The abolition of child labor is a key<br />

principle and objective of major human rights<br />

declarations and legislation, and is subject to ILO<br />

<strong>Co</strong>nventions 138 and 182. The presence and<br />

effective implementation of policies on child<br />

labor are a basic expectation of socially<br />

responsible conduct.<br />

HR7 - Not to be subjected to forced or<br />

compulsory labor is considered a fundamental<br />

human right and is a provision of the UN<br />

Universal Declaration of Human Rights and<br />

subject to ILO <strong>Co</strong>re <strong>Co</strong>nventions 29 & 105. This<br />

type of labor can exist in a variety of forms and<br />

the data provided will indicate the reporting<br />

organization’s challenges in contributing to the<br />

abolition of forced and compulsory labor.<br />

GRI G3.1 Guidelines


CODE OF CONDUCT IN OUR<br />

BUSINESS<br />

<strong>Co</strong>mpliance in human rights is the fundamental<br />

responsibility of the company. We respect the<br />

code of conduct of which components comprise<br />

of child labor, hours of work, discrimination,<br />

force-labor, freedom of association and<br />

collective bargaining, indigenous rights …etc.<br />

The components of code of conducts are posted<br />

around the working area of the employees as a<br />

commitment on transparency and compliance.<br />

The company issued a written General<br />

Statement on <strong>Co</strong>mpliance in <strong>Co</strong>de of <strong>Co</strong>nduct<br />

and cascaded it to all employees. It is<br />

fundamental direction to all CSR activities.<br />

‘<strong>Co</strong>mpliance in <strong>Co</strong>de of <strong>Co</strong>nduct is the<br />

fundamental requirement for both <strong>Jia</strong><br />

<strong>Hsin</strong> and our suppliers and<br />

subcontractors. We implement<br />

Subcontractor Management Policy to<br />

ensure the compliance from our T2<br />

suppliers’<br />

TSENG LIEN HSIEN<br />

VICE GENERAL MANAGER<br />

Handling production and<br />

procurement<br />

To ensure the sustainable compliance, we build<br />

up the labor management system and do the<br />

periodically internal audits. The findings are<br />

analyzed on the root causes and corrective<br />

actions are implemented. Together with<br />

external audits, from customer and local<br />

authorities, our internal audit becomes a tool<br />

for continuous improvement in human rights in<br />

general and labor in particular.


CODE OF CONDUCT IN OUR PROCUREMENT AND OUTSOURCING<br />

We start to integrate the<br />

compliance of significant Tier<br />

2 suppliers and subcontractors<br />

into our<br />

compliance programs as<br />

these partners involve<br />

directly to our operation and<br />

effect to our compliance<br />

performance. They are also a<br />

part of the supply chain<br />

which stretches from<br />

suppliers to retailers<br />

therefore their compliance is<br />

required to ensure the<br />

performance of the whole<br />

supplier chain.<br />

In year 2010 we did not<br />

perform well in this area due<br />

to constrain in manpower,<br />

low concentration and no<br />

policy. We have set objective<br />

to improve this area and we<br />

achieved it.<br />

1. Issuing policy of<br />

subcontractor and key<br />

suppliers management.<br />

2. Adding man-power<br />

support from Business Dept<br />

to CR Department in<br />

conducting audit.<br />

subcontractors and key<br />

suppliers in compliance to<br />

code of conduct.<br />

In year 2011, we have<br />

arranged to do screening for<br />

all of our subcontractors and<br />

key suppliers who take<br />

significant materials volume<br />

from our total materials<br />

consumption. To report on<br />

the percentage of suppliers<br />

and sub-contractors, we<br />

divide into two ways of<br />

screening:<br />

-Direct screening: Done by<br />

ourselves<br />

-Indirect screening: Done by<br />

our customers or cross audit<br />

for nominated suppliers.<br />

can take advantage of the<br />

screening results. For the<br />

screening by ourselves.<br />

Screening is done via internal<br />

Customer’s Safety through Product’s Safety<br />

Customer’s Health and Safety is not only an issue of business performance, but also our social<br />

responsibility. We integrate customer’s safety into our CSR system to ensure our sustainable<br />

compliance in this aspect. We care of customer’s health and safety through our products as they will<br />

directly contact and effect to customer’s health and safety when to be used.<br />

Product’s safety is an important criterion in our products’<br />

portfolio. We care of product’s safety from the first to the last<br />

stages of product’s life cycle. In the supply chain, the company<br />

involves in safety in research and development (R&D),<br />

manufacturing, storage and distribution, customer’s using, and<br />

disposal. Our customers will care safety in development concept<br />

and marketing steps.<br />

Safety assessment is an important component of the safety<br />

management system. We not only implement it for our<br />

production and facility, but also for our products. The<br />

assessment is done for all stages in products life cycle that we<br />

involve. Based on customer’s standards and requirements, legal<br />

requirements, and international customs and practices, we can<br />

identify our potential non-compliance or weakness during the<br />

assessment, then set priority for improvement. Development<br />

takes the key role in doing assessment while it sets products<br />

portfolio. Laboratory plays the role of inspector by doing<br />

necessary lab test to ensure product compliance to safety criteria<br />

before launching to the markets. In year 2011, 100% of our<br />

products go through this screening and we will maintain this<br />

performance in year 2012.<br />

not only an issue of business<br />

performance, but also our social<br />

responsibility’<br />
