Energy-efficient and eco-friendly equipment

In addition to continuously promoting environmental protection and energy conservation policies, we have been encouraging all units to use energy-efficient and eco-friendly materials in recent years. These materials include energy-efficient devices (e.g., inverters, high-performance IE3 motors, anti-explosion LED lighting fixtures, aircon chillers, UPS) and ecolabel products (e.g., energy-efficient and eco-friendly IT equipment).

In 2025, the reported amount for green procurement on the Ministry of Environment's Green Lifestyle Information Platform was NT$51.67 million.
