We view construction safety, quality management, and environmental protection as being of he highest priority. Guided by the principles of safety and professional innovation, we engage all team members in continuous improvement. We maintain ecological environments, develop technological disaster prevention measures, strengthen risk management in construction planning and execution, enhance hazard awareness, and establish effective communication mechanisms. Our people-centric approach aims to provide all employees with a triple-safe employment environment: “safe job, safe workplace, and labor safety”.
After being signed off by the Chairman, BES’s policies for safety, health, and environmental protection are announced and effectively implemented throughout the entire organization.
Our principles of safety, health, and environmental protection management are as follows:
Company Policy Documents
Actions to Ensure Environmental Protection and Quality Management
The Occupational Safety & Health Management Office conducts monthly on-site (20), online (20), and joint (3) inspections. Company supervisors also perform periodic checks at construction sites.

Greenhouse gas management strategy, methods, and objectives：
1. Establish procedures for greenhouse gas inventory management and internal verification and management audit procedures as inventory standards.
2. The general manager signs the greenhouse gas inventory and voluntary reduction declaration, and appoints the chairman of the greenhouse gas inventory implementation team.
3. Form the greenhouse gas inventory implementation team to conduct inventory operations across departments.
4. Conduct internal verification according to the greenhouse gas inventory list, report, and procedures, and make improvements to any shortcomings.
5. Perform external verification and obtain a reasonable assurance statement.
6. Convene the management review committee to review the strategy for improving greenhouse gas inventory shortcomings, and submit the inventory results to the ESG committee to develop carbon reduction strategies.

Occupational Safety and Health Related Measures
1.Education and Training: includes basic knowledge, occupational safety, and specific training for special tasks (such as work at height and lifting operations).
2. Impact Mitigation and Prevention:
* Continuously strengthen employee safety awareness and hazard identification capabilities to reduce the occupational accident rate.
* Establish a reward and penalty system that links occupational safety and health performance with performance evaluations, promotions, and allowances.
3. Physiological Monitoring System for Tunnel Construction Workers:
* Establish a real-time health monitoring and exact position tracking to track the distribution and physiological conditions of workers during tunnel construction, ensuring the safety of them.
* The system can detect abnormalities and facilitate timely intervention, avoiding risks of excessive concentration of workers and sudden incidents.
4. Regular Health Check-up System:
* Provide health check-ups for all employees every two years. A subsidy of NT$8,000 or more per employee is provided in 2024.

Preferential treatment for suppliers rated as excellent
To ensure suppliers’ progress, safety, health, and environmental protection comply with BES standards, we have established the “Supplier Assessment Operation Guidelines”. Suppliers rated as excellent will receive benefits such as reduced bid bonds and performance guarantees. Suppliers rated as unsatisfactory will be included in the list of blacklisted suppliers.
The annual supplier assessment conference is presided over by the President. The results of the supplier assessment for the past two years are as follows：
