Water resources management and waste water treatment

The company's Suao Plant still uses groundwater for its production process. Although Yilan has abundant groundwater resources, the Suao Plant still actively saves and makes good use of water resources. In addition to setting up a cooling water recovery system, the non-contact cooling water in the process is recovered and cooled for reuse, and the process is actively evaluated to improve and reduce the water consumption of the process. Make good use of recycled cooling water for spraying water on storage yards, roads, turf and green plants, in order to use water resources for multiple purposes. The company's water consumption statistics and waste water treatment methods are as follows：

2020 Water consumption statistics and waste water treatment list

Water consumption and intensity in the past three years

▲Total water consumption: The total energy consumption in 2020 was 90 million tons, which is about 11.03% less than the energy consumption in 2019. The water consumption intensity in 2020 was 223.1 M³/million yuan, which was about 3.04% less than the energy consumption intensity in 2019. The main reason is that the process water recovery system has been completed and strengthened, and the complete recovery of process water is the ultimate goal.

Waste management

The company's waste source management operation method divides the sources into two categories: employee domestic waste and business waste; domestic waste management improves employee behavior through employee education and training to effectively promote reduction and classified management, and improve resource re-utilization and the value of resource regeneration; the management of industrial waste is to reduce management by simplifying packaging materials, reducing the proportion of hazardous waste, and recycling and reusing resources.

In accordance with the regulations of the Waste Disposal Law, the Suao factory wastes are stored and classified during collection to maximize the completeness of waste classification. Each unit concentrates the waste in the storage place, and has dedicated personnel for management and planning of waste disposal. The reduction and entry and exit control of materials, and the treatment process are in compliance with environmental protection regulations.

Greenhouse gas management

The increase in greenhouse gas emissions has led to climate change, which not only directly impacts the global ecological environment, but also indirectly affects the acquisition of corporate resources. It has become an environmental issue of global concern and attention. In order to fulfill its corporate responsibilities, the company identifies sources of greenhouse gas emissions, uses energy-saving and emission reduction methods to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, improves its own management capabilities, replaces high-energy-consumption process equipment, and discusses greenhouse gas reduction programs to jointly achieve low actively work hard for a sustainable carbon home.

▲Coefficient and calculation source:
(1) Greenhouse gas emission coefficient management table 6.0.3 version recommended emission coefficient, diesel emissions 2.6060 KgCO₂/L, fuel oil emissions 3.111 KgCO₂/L.
(2) Calculated based on the revenue of 4,034 million yuan in the 2020 financial report.

Environmental protection cost and energy saving and carbon reduction

In order to reduce the impact of the production process on the environment, improve product competitiveness, and fulfill corporate social responsibilities, the company clearly classifies and controls various environmental protection expenditures, which helps to evaluate the implementation efficiency of environmental protection measures and Internal cost-benefit analysis, the environmental protection input cost in 2020 is 99,571 thousand TWD, the details are as follows:
