Increase the Usage of Green Products

• In response to the green procurement policy of the Ministry of Environment and implementing the eco-friendly concept of “recyclable, low-pollution, and resource-saving”, the Company encourages suppliers to actively develop green products to improve its quality in Taiwan. The Company prioritizes the procurement of low-pollution, recyclable, resource-saving, or green building materials, self-declared or products with a lower environmental impact throughout their life cycle (from raw material acquisition to disposal).
• In 2024, the declared procurement amount from Taiwan plants reached NT$33.26 million, representing a 15% increase compared to the average of the past three years. All four Taiwan plants reported over NT$5 million in green procurement.
• In 2024, the Company procured 33,200 packages of eco-labeled toilet paper, 21,200 packages of eco-friendly hand towels, and 2,429 packages of PEFC-certified copy paper.

• The Company installed self-developed step counters on each floor to record employees’ stair-climbing activities and their associated carbon reduction. Since the launch of the “Step Up” stair climbing activity in 2015, employees have cumulatively climbed over 240 million steps from 2015 to 2024, equivalent to climbing Taiwan’s Yushan (Jade Mountain) 13,953 times. This effort has saved approximately 3.47 GWh of electricity and reduced carbon emissions by 1,780 metric tons, equivalent to the annual carbon absorption of 4.6 Da’an Forest Parks.
