MiTAC follows the ISO 14064-1 standard to identify the main sources of Category 1 and Category 2 GHG emissions. Over 92% of these emissions stem from electricity usage. Therefore, MiTAC focuses primarily on energy conservation as a key method for carbon reduction, with reduction efforts concentrated on Scope 2 emissions, aligning with government greenhouse gas management policies and Company reduction targets, and implementing greenhouse gas reduction plans.

Renewable Energy Installation

Since 2022, our company has expanded the implementation of solar photovoltaic installations. In 2024, the renewable energy ratio reached 17.8%, achieving the 2025 target of 10% renewable energy one year ahead of schedule. In addition to the company's self-built solar photovoltaic systems, we also began green electricity procurement in 2024 to continue increasing the proportion of renewable energy in the company.

In 2024, the new solar plant's installed capacity was 2,304.9 KW, with an expected annual generation of approximately 2,079 MWh. This is in addition to the previously installed solar heat pump with an annual generation of about 546 MWh and the newly built solar photovoltaic systems from 2022-2023, with an annual generation of approximately 4,568 MWh, totaling 7,193 MWh. Compared to 2023, the solar power generation in 2024 increased by 33% annually. In July 2023, we signed a contract with N&G Group in Vietnam to invest in the construction of a new plant in the HANSSIP Industrial Park in Phu Xuyen, Hanoi, Vietnam. From the initial stage of development and construction, we proactively incorporate green building concepts and solar photovoltaic technology into our construction plans.

MiTAC's factory plants and offices source their water from municipal potable water, which is used solely for domestic purposes (approximately 95%). Due to the nature of the industry, there is no process water requirement; thus, no industrial wastewater is produced, resulting in no industrial wastewater discharge. All water usage complies with local government regulations and laws, with no violations reported in 2024. The domestic wastewater was discharged to the sewage treatment plant established in the science park, and the management center regularly conduct wastewater sample testing. According to the testing results, the wastewater of the plant has met the water quality conditions specified by the wastewater (sewage) discharge standards.

Water Resources Management Policy

• Collaborate with regional authorities and utilities companies to coordinate water resource deployment.
• Identify short-term and long-term water resource risks.
• Stipulate water conservation targets for various plants to conserve water.

In water resource protection, various water conservation programs are established for corporate sustainable development and management of water consumption for operations is achieved with various water conservation and water reclamation/reuse measures.

Taiwan Huaya plant air conditioning condensate water and rainwater recycling project

We have collaborated with the Tse-Xin Organic Agriculture Foundation and the National Taiwan University Highland Experimental Farm on tree planting and afforestation initiatives since 2022. The foundation's tree planting site is located 5 kilometers upstream from the Deji Reservoir, which is in a severely over-exploited watershed area due to historical agricultural activities. MiTAC and Tse-Xin chose this location to enhance environmental resilience. In partnership with National Taiwan University, MiTAC is engaged in a six-year forest fire restoration project in the Central Mountain Range of Taiwan. This initiative focuses on afforestation across 15 hectares in the Cuifeng section of the university's experimental farm. The goal is to achieve ecological conservation and contribute to environmental protection and climate change mitigation. We plan to plant 26,250 trees of native Taiwanese species over six years, contributing to increased climate resilience, biodiversity, and water resource protection. By the end of 2024, the reforestation plan has resulted in a total of 23,081 trees planted.
