Sustainable Investment

In 2024, our company invested NT$26,609 million in energy-saving and environmentally sustainable machinery and equipment. The total benefits include saving 465,066kWh of electricity annually, reducing waste by 6,339 tons per year, and a carbon reduction of 13,672 tons per year. The details are as follows:

1. Energy management

The establishment of self-use solar power generation equipment enables a reduction in electricity consumption by 120,554 kWh, resulting in an annual decrease of 60 metric tons in carbon emissions.

2. Equipment Efficiency Improvement

(1)Replacement of the diesel forklifts with electric forklifts, which reduces maintenance costs and lowers noise during operation, resulting in an annual decrease of 36 metric tons in carbon emissions.

(2)Implementation of an energy management and power-saving system in the factory area to enhance voltage stability and maintain stable equipment operation, resulting in a savings of 344,512 kWh of electricity usage annually and a reduction of 162 metric tons of carbon emissions per year.

3. Reduction in Process Waste Generation

Installation of a distillation system to recycle solvents used in the manufacturing process for reintroduction recovered solvents back into the manufacturing process, specifically acetone for reuse in the process and butanone for tank cleaning. This initiative serves to reduce the on-site storage of waste solvents and minimize the need for purchasing additional raw materials, resulting in a significant reduction in annual waste output by 6,339 tons and a corresponding decrease in carbon emissions by 13,414 metric tons.
