2024 Environmental Protection Targets and Management Programs

Policy Goals Program Effectiveness 2025 Management Program
Zero Emission Zero emissions of air pollutants: Equipment/component VOC leakage <0.5%
  1. Reduce equipment/component for emission leakage of VOCs (Manufacturing Department I)
  2. Reduce the annual leakage of VOCs (Manufacturing Department II)
  3. VOCs Reduction Plan (Manufacturing Department III)
Reduced VOCs leakage of Manufacturing Department I/Manufacturing Department II/Manufacturing Department III to 0.04% in 2024.
  1. Reduce equipment/component for emission leakage of VOCs (Manufacturing Department I
  2. Reduce the annual leakage of VOCs (Manufacturing Department II)
  3. VOCs Reduction Plan (Manufacturing Department III)
Zero Wastewater Emissions: Improve wastewater recovery rate by 2% (based on 2021 baseline) Purchase the new float oil pump 2024 wastewater reclamation volume: 29,565 metric tons Improve sludge treatment in wastewater pools
Reduce GHGs Emissions by 1,560 metric tons of CO2e Implement 6 energy-saving projects 2024 cumulative energy savings: 4,650,858 kWh; LNG savings: 333,379 M3 ; reduce GHGs by 2,897 metric tons of CO2e 2025 estimated energy savings: 1,234,612 kWh, reducing GHGs by 585 metric tons of CO2e
Zero emissions of air pollutants: Greenhouse gas emissions and reduction estimates
  1. Monthly greenhouse gas emissions and carbon fee estimates
  2. Monthly carbon reduction estimates
  1. Estimated carbon fee of NT$33,516,563
  2. Electricity consumption and reduction in greenhouse gas emissions (4,359,422 kWh * 0.474 kg CO2/kWh = 2,066,366 kg/CO2)
Continuous implementation
Reduce water discharge by 5,280 metric tons Continuous monitoring and reclamation of effluents 2024 wastewater water reclamation: 29,565 metric tons 2025 estimated wastewater water reclamation: 24,600 metric tons
Zero Pollution Zero emissions of air pollutants: Reduce the leaked emissions of VOCs Recover 31,500 kg/year from Manufacturing Department I V-404 VA tank Reduce VA losses by 31,500 kg The program was completed in 2024
Zero air pollution: Replacement of pumps to reduce VOC emissions to the atmosphere
  • Added 1 new Modifier pump J-220E to the C-line
  • Added 2 new Modifier pumps J-220P and J-220Q to the EF-line
  1. Upon replacement of Modifier pumps, the emission coefficient was reduced from 0.00335kg/hour to 0.00008kg/hour, reducing 292.76 kg of VOC emissions to the atmosphere on the basis of 365-day operations
  2. Upon replacement of Modifier pumps, the emission coefficient was reduced from 0.00335kg/hour to 0.00008kg/hour. Upon replacement of 2 pumps, a total of 585.52 kg of VOC emissions to the atmosphere were reduced on the basis of 365-day operations per pump
Add 1 new Modifier pump J-220E to the EF line (Manufacturing Department I)

Environmental Expenditures

Our environmental management costs include the cost for environmental management activities, environmental-protection-related personnel expenses, and equipment maintenance cost. In 2021, we will actively promote the improvement of process safety equipment, waste treatment, and the professional training of environmental protection personnel. In 2021, the total amount of environmental expenditures increased by 16.8% over 2020 to about NT$135.67 million

Note 1: The cost for environmental management activities includes the fees for air pollution control, water pollution prevention, waste disposal, noise pollution prevention, management of toxic and concerned chemical substances, industrial safety improvement, depreciation of fixed assets and others (e.g., cleaning and mowing).

Note 2: Environmental-protection-related personnel expenses include personnel expenses and environmental protectionrelated training fees.

Note 3: Equipment maintenance cost includes the fees of environmental-related equipment and the fees for equipment maintenance.
