MENUMENU
The Company has always adhered to the principles of diligence and pragmatism, taking initiative and responsibility, establishing a solid foundation, and pursuing sustainable corporate development while fulfilling its social responsibilities and giving back to society. In terms of energy usage and greenhouse gas emissions, the company promotes energy-saving and carbon-reduction initiatives to minimize the environmental impact of its operations. To fulfill its commitment to corporate sustainability, the company has implemented the following measures:
Water conservation and the protection of water resources are important to our company. Since we are not a manufacturing company, we do not use water in our production processes. The water used in our operations is sourced from the municipal water supply, with no use of groundwater or other water sources, and only general domestic wastewater is generated. Water consumption is not a significant issue for our company.
The Company main business is general investment, and the primary waste generated is domestic waste. Management and reduction measures include contracting a licensed waste disposal company to handle general domestic waste, which is incinerated at waste-to-energy facilities. Recyclable materials are sent to recycling facilities for resource recovery and reuse, reducing pollution and environmental harm. Waste management is not a significant issue for our company.
In recent years, with the evolution of the climate and the intensification of extreme weather, the issue of the greenhouse effect has come to the forefront. Countries have begun advocating for energy conservation and carbon reduction. To promote energy conservation and carbon reduction within the company, the Company has calculated the carbon emissions generated from daily electricity usage and gasoline consumption by company vehicles. In 2024, Scope 1 emissions amounted to 2.71 metric tons of CO2e, and Scope 2 emissions amounted to 32.60 metric tons of CO2e. The company also encouraged employees to participate in energy-saving and carbon-reducing activities, such as using public transportation, conserving energy, promoting waste and plastic reduction, and encouraging the use of reusable utensils to reduce the environmental impact of daily life.
Due to the Company’s overall stable and healthy business operations, there was no significant change in intensity in 2024. Nevertheless, the company continues to actively promote energy conservation and carbon reduction, integrating these practices into daily operations.
To comply with corporate environmental and social responsibilities and move towards a sustainable supply chain, the Company has planned an evaluation of all suppliers. The company has initiated the signing of supplier social responsibility commitment agreements, aiming for suppliers to implement comprehensive environmental protection measures and establish safe working environments.
In 2024, two new suppliers were added, and 100% of them completed the signing of the Supplier Corporate Social Responsibility Commitment Letter. All long-term suppliers have also signed the commitment letter. There were no major violations reported in 2024.
In 2025, a supplier evaluation mechanism is planned to be implemented, incorporating topics such as environmental protection and social and human rights issues. The primary focus will be on suppliers with an annual total procurement amount exceeding NT$1 million.
Additionally, for daily office supplies, priority is given to products made in Taiwan to increase the proportion of local procurement.
In recent years, the increasing frequency of extreme weather events highlights the urgent crisis brought about by global warming. Governments around the world are placing greater importance on climate change issues and, through the revision of national and regional regulations, are urging companies to integrate climate change considerations into their operational management. In addition to identifying the operational risks posed by climate change, the Company has referred to the recommendations of the Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) issued by the Financial Stability Board (FSB). These recommendations focus on four core areas: governance, strategy, risk management, and metrics and targets. The Company has incorporated these into its operational management and disclosed its governance performance in its sustainability report. Through this, stakeholders are expected to understand the impact of climate change-related risks and opportunities on the Company and the corresponding response measures.
Changes in Customer Behavior: The company’s execution of ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) performance in environmental, social, and governance aspects is closely monitored. The company continues to publish ESG reports, sets goals regarding stakeholder concerns, and operates continuously in response.
Increases in Raw Material Costs: 1. Maintain close communication with suppliers, 2. Seek alternative solutions, 3. Continuously monitor raw material trends.
Due to the increased frequency of extreme weather events, including more frequent typhoons and heavy rainfall, changes in rainfall patterns and extreme climate variations can potentially lead to widespread disruptions in regional transportation and damage to buildings. These factors could impact customer rights and potentially lead to financial losses, as assessed. The company’s response measures include preventive repairs to enhance asset resilience and the establishment of emergency response mechanisms related to typhoons and heavy rainfall to mitigate immediate risks. Given the preventive measures in place, the impact of these risks on overall operations is not expected to be significantly detrimental.
The company considers various resource efficiency practices and plans to implement the following measures: for new constructions, adopting designs that reduce energy consumption; for existing buildings, gradually replacing energy-efficient materials or equipment.
Metrics & Targets
The company has established indicators and set targets based on the climate-related risks and opportunities outlined by the TCFD.
