Greenhouse Gas Management

• Greenhouse Gas Inventory Plan  

 
ANPEC aligns with the government’s “2050 Net Zero Carbon Emissions” reduction target. Following the schedule for greenhouse gas inventory provided by the competent authorities, the Company has established a relevant operational plan, designating 2024 as the base year. The data scope includes the headquarters in Hsinchu, Taiwan, and the Taipei office. As an IC design company, ANPEC does not have production lines. The primary source of greenhouse gas emissions comes from indirect emissions in “Scope 2”, such as air conditioning. Direct greenhouse gas emissions from “Scope 1” are not significant. Starting in 2024, the Company includes additional indirect emissions from employee commuting and private car usage（Scope 3）in its inventory. The inventory results for 2024 will be disclosed by the end of August 2025. In 2025, we plan to include domestic and international business travel in our inventory plan. Based on the annual greenhouse gas inventory results, ANPEC will adjust its energy-saving and carbon reduction strategies, set reduction targets, and encourage employees to implement energy-saving and carbon reduction practices in their daily lives.
The Company aims to achieve a 1% reduction in carbon emissions by 2025. We will also continue to monitor relevant domestic and international regulations, comply with relevant legal requirements, and take appropriate countermeasures and make preparations to protect the natural environment.
In executing its operations and internal management, the Company is committed to achieving its environmental sustainability goals.

 

• Greenhouse Gas Emissions  

 
The Company has initiated greenhouse gas management and completed its 2024 carbon inventory. By identifying major emission sources and collecting activity and emission data, we have successfully kept abreast of the organization’s carbon emissions. We conduct our greenhouse gas inventory in accordance with the ISO 14064-1 standard to improve energy efficiency and are continuously committed to reducing carbon emissions. Based on the 2024 inventory results, the Company’s total greenhouse gas emissions were 1,921.9727 metric tons of CO₂e, including 5.6294 metric tons of CO₂e for Scope 1（direct emissions）, 1,430.0086 metric tons of CO₂e for Scope 2（indirect energy emissions）, and 486.3347 metric tons of CO₂e for Scope 3（other indirect emissions）. Since the Company had not implemented a greenhouse gas inventory system in 2023 and the boundaries and scopes were inconsistent with 2024, a direct comparison with 2024 is difficult. The Company is well aware of its responsibility for environmental impact and will continue to strengthen its carbon management strategy, set specific carbon reduction targets and action plans, and conduct regular reviews and dynamic adjustments to balance operational growth with sustainability responsibilities. At the same time, we call on stakeholders to collectively enhance air quality monitoring and management. The Company did not emit any ozone-depleting substances（ODS）in 2024, and all related monitoring data was in compliance with regulations.
