2025 Environmental Protection Targets and Action Plans

Environmental Policy Target Program Performance 2026 Management Program
Zero Pollution Air Pollution Zero Pollution: VOCs equipment component leakage rate less than 0.5%
  1. Reduce equipment component VOCs dissipation (Production Department I)
  2. Reduce annual VOCs leakage (Production Department II)
  3. VOCs dissipation improvement plan (Production Department III)
In 2025, the measured leakage rate for equipment components in Production Department I, Department II, and Department III was 0.03%.
  1. Reduce equipment component VOCs dissipation (Production Department I)
  2. Reduce annual VOCs leakage (Production Department II)
  3. Production Department III VOCs dissipation improvement plan (Production Department III)
Air Pollution Zero Pollution: Pump replacement to reduce VOCs dissipation into the atmosphere Added 1 Modifier pump J-220E to the EF-line. After replacing the Modifier pump, the emission factor was reduced from 0.00335 kg/hour to 0.00008 kg/hour. Operating 365 days a year, this reduces VOCs dissipation to the atmosphere by 292.76 kg. 2025 program completion progression rate: 63%. This project will be extended to 2026 for continued execution.

Environmental Expenditures

USI's expenses for environmental management are categorized into environmental management activity costs, environmental-related personnel costs, and equipment maintenance costs. In 2025, the company continued to promote projects to reduce VOCs dissipation, recycle and reuse water resources, conserve energy, and implement carbon reduction measures. In 2025, total environmental expenditures were approximately NT$101.96 million, a decrease of 4.1% compared to 2024. The primary difference was due to lower depreciation expenses for pollution control facilities in 2025.

Note 1: Environmental management activity costs include expenses related to air pollution control, water pollution prevention, waste disposal, noise control, toxic and concerned chemical substance management, industrial safety improvements, fixed asset depreciation, and others (such as cleaning, weeding, etc.).

Note 2: Environmental-related personnel costs include personnel salaries and environmental protection training expenses.

Note 3: Equipment maintenance costs include environmental protection facility maintenance and equipment servicing fees.
