Policy
Bora supports the principles of ecosystem conservation and is committed to avoiding damage to natural habitats during operations. We assess
whether our operating sites are located in ecologically sensitive areas and implement corresponding protection or monitoring measures based on the level of risk.
We actively manage water resources, waste, and air pollution to reduce potential impacts on local ecosystems, with particular attention to protecting natural resources near our facilities, such as rivers and green spaces.
Biodiversity considerations are incorporated into our environmental management systems. We strengthen the assessment and monitoring of ecological impacts across our supply chain and internal operations and encourage partners to jointly promote responsible resource use and conservation efforts.
Our Goals
- Conduct regular assessments of ecological sensitivity across operating sites and establish a preliminary database of potential risk areas.
- Enhance monitoring mechanisms for wastewater, air emissions, and waste discharge during operations to ensure regulatory compliance and minimize disturbance to natural habitats.
- Promote employee environmental education and training programs that include biodiversity and habitat conservation concepts to raise overall environmental awareness.
- For any major construction or site expansion in the future, ecological impact assessments will be incorporated into planning processes to ensure early warning and response measures are in place before development begins.
As biodiversity is increasingly recognized for its vital role in pharmaceutical research and development, Bora Pharmaceuticals acknowledges its close connection to innovation and sustainable development. We plan to integrate biodiversity into our ESG strategy, support the Convention on Biological Diversity, and actively implement conservation actions throughout our operations and supply chain to ensure harmonious coexistence between business development and the natural environment.
Mississauga Site (Canada): Ecological Sanctuary and Habitat Restoration
The Mississauga Site (Canada) was originally a quiet piece of land. Through the voluntary and long-term dedication of employees, it has gradually been transformed into a vibrant ecological space, including:
- Building a Bee Hotel to provide natural habitats for wild solitary bees, supporting key pollinating insects (about 75% of global crops depend on animal pollinators, per FAO research).
- Protecting the threatened Barn Swallow with 2 dedicated habitat structures (20 nest cups); the Barn Swallow is listed as a threatened species under Ontario’s Endangered Species Act.
- Renaturalization and Butterfly Garden certification: removing invasive plants such as European Buckthorn and planting native seedlings and milkweed, successfully attracting Monarch butterflies back to the site, recognized as a “Butterfly Garden” by the North American Butterfly Association (NABA).
Beyond ecological restoration, the Company extends its commitment to the land to Taiwan’s agricultural environment, supporting Miaoli County’s 2025 “Eliminate Open Burning, Promote Eco-Friendly Farming” project, donating Bacillus subtilis-based decomposing bacteria to the Zhunan and Nanzhuang Farmers’ Associations, applied to 5 hectares of rice straw and 5 hectares of woody material, and received a Certificate of Appreciation from the Miaoli County Government.
