Coretronic's water source is 100% from the Taiwan Water Corporation. The water demand of each plant is mainly for air conditioning, drinking water, cleaning, irrigation and group meals, and the users are employees, visitors and contractors. Since the manufacturing process does not require water, the impact on the environment is not its main impact. However, considering that water resources are a major international sustainability concern, we have adopted recycling and water conservation measures to reduce the impact of reduced water resources, and at the same time, we have strengthened disseminating the messages on water conservation to prevent the crisis of water shortage in the dry season in advance.
The issue of water resources is a common concern worldwide. Coretronic has set a water reduction target, even though water resource is not a major concern for its operation environments, by educational propaganda on water usage and promoting water conservation and recycling measures. Water consumption of plants in Taiwan was 17% less than 2019, achieving the 2021 target, and water consumption of plants in China was 515,854 tons.
