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 />

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 />

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 />

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 />

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 />

<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 />

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 />

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 />

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 />

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 />

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 />

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 />
target for the coming years.<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.

30-50-age employees leaves 205 22.75%<br />
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 />

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 />
38
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 />

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 />
Direct Energy Indexes in CSR Application:<br />
<br />
<br />
<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 />
by office, lighting system, and ventilation<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.

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 />

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 />

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 />
while our production volume<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 />

HR2 – Processes that screen and monitor human<br />
rights performance within the supply chain,<br />
contractors and other business partners can<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 />

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 />

screening results. For the<br />

Customer’s Health<br />
and Safety<br />
PR1 - This measure helps to identify the existence<br />
and scope of systematic efforts to address health and<br />
safety across the life cycle of a product and/or<br />
service. …<br />
… Efforts made to protect the health and safety of<br />
those who use or deliver the product/service have<br />
direct impacts on an organization’s reputation, the<br />
organization’s legal and financial risk due to recall,<br />
market differentiation in relation to quality, and<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 />
‘Customer’s Health and Safety is<br />
not only an issue of business<br />
performance, but also our social<br />
responsibility’<br />
