Water Resources and Waste Management

Water Resource Management


Water is one of the most precious resources on Earth. It is not only crucial for maintaining natural ecosystems but is also closely related to human survival and future. As global water resources become increasingly scarce, ANPEC Electronics is keenly aware of its responsibilities. Even though the Company faces relatively minor water stress, we are fully committed to implementing comprehensive water resource management. We have long focused on issues related to water conservation and environmental protection and actively work to learn about the likelihood of related risks and proactively prepare response measures. To avoid unnecessary waste, we are committed to reducing our environmental impact. Our goal is to create a sustainable future where resources are utilized reasonably and we live in harmony with the environment. The Company’s operational headquarters are located in the Hsinchu Science Park. The Baoshan Reservoir serves as our main water source, and the water resource risk is classified as low-to-medium（1-2）.
As an IC design company, we do not require large amounts of water. Most of our water usage is for domestic purposes and some plant facilities, such as the kitchen and cooling towers. The plant area only produces domestic sewage, so the risk of water pollution is extremely low. We have implemented strategies, such as setting up a recycling system for watering green plants in the plant area, installing water-saving faucets to flexibly adjust the water flow based on usage, adopting automatic faucets, reducing the number of times water pumps are started, and regularly monitoring water quality and usage. These measures are taken to achieve the goal of water resource protection. We also continuously raise employees’ water conservation awareness to reduce our impact on water resources and the environment.
The achievement of a 1% reduction in water consumption in 2024 demonstrates the effectiveness of our water-saving measures.

•  Water Consumption = Water Withdrawal - Water Discharge.
•  Water Recycling and Reuse Rate = Internal Recycled Water Volume /（Water Withdrawal + Internal Recycled Water Volume）* 100%.
•  Water Intensity is Calculated as: Water Withdrawal（Million Liters）/ Organizational-Specific Metric.
•  The Disclosed Operational Locations Include the Hsinchu Headquarters and the Taipei Office.

 
 

• Progress Toward Water Use Reduction Goals

To tangibly reduce the Company’s energy consumption, we continuously monitor water and electricity usage, regularly conduct reviews and improvements to gradually decrease energy consumption, and strengthen the Company’s hardware for environmental energy efficiency.
We also conduct internal awareness-raising campaigns to promote energy conservation and sustainable development concepts among our employees.
The Company’s total water consumption in 2024 was 7,002 cubic meters, a decrease of 1,627 cubic meters from 8,629 cubic meters in 2023, representing an 18.86% reduction and successfully achieving the 1% annual water-saving target.
 
 

• Water Use Reduction Goals

The Company expects to achieve a 1% reduction in water consumption in 2025.
 

Waste Management


ANPEC is an IC design company. The generated waste is categorized into hazardous mixed metal scraps and non-hazardous business waste waste. In accordance with the Waste Disposal Act, the Company has signed a contract with a qualified vendor to promote waste reduction and resource recycling. General business waste is collected once a month. When the vendor’s vehicle enters our facility for waste collection, we provide a triplicate form for them to take to the Hsinchu City EPB Incinerator Plant. In 2024, all of the Company’s waste was handled by a qualified third-party disposal company, and there were no serious waste leakage incidents occurring. The Company is committed to promoting more efficient waste treatment measures, strengthening resource recycling and reuse, and reducing its environmental impact. We will continue to optimize waste management and seek innovative solutions to improve environmental protection efforts and reduce resource waste, thus ensuring that our business operations and environmental sustainability go hand in hand. The following are our specific actions to reduce waste:

•  Waste sorting is strictly implemented, and management and audit by dedicated personnel are conducted. Recycling is implemented to enhance resource reuse.
•  Promoting the recycling of suppliers’ packaging materials as they are sent to qualified vendors for disposal.
•  Specific recycling mechanisms are arranged for waste batteries, toners, compact discs, waste materials, packaging materials, pallets, etc.

• Progress Toward Waste Reduction Goals

In 2024, the total amount of waste generated by the Company increased compared to 2023 due to the in-house recycling and disposal of obsolete items. As a result, the 1% reduction target was not achieved.

 

• Waste Reduction Goals

The Company expects to achieve a 1% reduction in waste generation in 2025.
