Climate change has become a global focus, impacting not only ecosystems but also corporate operations and risk management. Enterprises must identify related risks and opportunities at an early stage to gain an advantage in the sustainability transition and seize new opportunities. Shieh Yih fully recognizes the importance of addressing climate change. To fulfill our corporate responsibility for environmental protection, we launched our organizational GHG inventory in 2023 with 2022 as the base year. Since then, we have continued to promote energy conservation and carbon reduction measures, as well as carbon emissions disclosure management, to accurately monitor and manage our GHG emissions. Based on the results of the inventory, we further develop reduction plans, turning sustainability commitments into concrete actions and striving to achieve balanced development between corporate growth and the natural environment.

The Company conducted a systematic and consistent GHG inventory and list establishment in accordance with the standards and requirements of ISO 14064-1:2018. The results were compiled and analyzed to accurately understand the Company’s GHG emission status, serving as a reference for subsequent reduction initiatives. Through these efforts, the Company aims to contribute to mitigating global warming and fulfill its responsibility as a global corporate citizen.

▌Strategies in Response to Climate Change or GHG Management

Upholding the principle of sustainable operation, the Company continues to implement measures for environmental co-existence. Based on our GHG inventory, the primary emission source was Category 3-6: other indirect emissions arising from external activities. In alignment with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and in fulfillment of corporate ESG responsibilities, the Company integrates its environmental management policies into daily operations in accordance with the “Sustainable Development Roadmap for Companies Listed on TWSE/TPEx.” These policies include:

Promoting energy conservation and enforcing pollution control.
Implementing resource recycling and ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements.
Fulfilling social responsibilities and committing to continuous improvement.

At the same time, the Company is formulating relevant carbon reduction measures and will promote them progressively as follows:

1. Promote energy conservation and cultivate the habit of “save energy at all times” to reduce energy waste.
2. Maintain office area temperature at 26°C and reduce the load of chilled-water units to lower electricity consumption.
3. Regularly review contracted installed capacity, A/C zoning, and lighting circuits to improve energy efficiency.
4. Conduct regular equipment maintenance to ensure optimal operating efficiency and minimize energy consumption.
5. Gradually replace fuel-powered transportation vehicles with hybrid or electric vehicles each year to reduce GHG emissions from fuel use.
