Apacer Carbon Reduction Targets

 

Base Year: 2022

Inventory Boundary: Apacer Headquarters located in Tucheng District, New Taipei City

Calculation Scope: Combined calculation of Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions

Short-Term Carbon Reduction Targets:

  • Reduce emissions by 0.1% by 2025 compared with the 2022 baseline

  • Reduce emissions by 0.2% by 2026 compared with the 2022 baseline

Mid-Term Carbon Reduction Targets:

  • 2027–2029: Reduce emissions by 0.2% annually

Long-Term Carbon Reduction Targets:

  • 2030–2035: Reduce emissions by 0.2% annually

 

Greenhouse Gas Management Policy

 

In recent years, many countries have revised regulations in response to climate change, requiring enterprises to pay greater attention to global greenhouse gas emissions while pursuing business growth. In response, Apacer has established the following greenhouse gas management policies:

  • Compliance with regulatory requirements

  • Enhancing energy performance

  • Creating a low-carbon environment

  • Meeting customer expectations

 

Key Reduction Strategies and Specific Actions

 

Improving Energy Efficiency

  • Adoption of energy-saving equipment

  • Optimization of production processes

  • Energy monitoring and management

Performance Achieved:
Compared with the 2022 baseline year, greenhouse gas emissions in 2023 and 2024 decreased by 2.62% and 7.52%, respectively (Scope 1 + Scope 2 only).

Low-Carbon Product Design:
Development of low-carbon products (ongoing).

 

Energy Management Plan

 

Within the greenhouse gas inventory boundary, more than 90% of Apacer’s carbon emissions originate from electricity consumption (Scope 1 and Scope 2). Accordingly, the following energy management plan has been established.

 

Improving Energy Efficiency

 

Low-Carbon Manufacturing to Enhance Energy Efficiency

 

  • When replacing equipment, priority is given to machines with energy-saving certifications, high efficiency, or optimized energy management capabilities.

  • Adjust product production mix to reduce SMT line changeovers and avoid unnecessary energy consumption caused by temperature fluctuations in reflow ovens.

  • Maximize the utilization of SMT reflow ovens for repair products to avoid separate processing procedures and reduce energy consumption.

  • Optimize production shifts and workforce scheduling to align with efficient electricity usage periods.

 

Facility Energy-Saving Measures

 

  • Replace lighting equipment on all floors with LED lighting, and encourage employees to turn off lights after meetings.

  • Upgrade building air-conditioning systems to water-cooled systems, with scheduled operation and seasonal temperature adjustments between 26–28°C.

  • Install automatic doors to reduce air-conditioning leakage.

  • Regularly clean air-conditioning filters and maintain HVAC equipment to maintain operational efficiency and prevent excess power consumption.

 

Energy Efficiency Monitoring

 

  • Install smart electricity meters on major energy-consuming equipment to strengthen energy monitoring and enable visualized power management.

  • Track and analyze equipment power consumption; any abnormal usage is reported immediately.

  • Through technical monitoring and data analysis, improve energy efficiency and reduce operational costs.

*Apacer's water source is the Shimen Reservoir, which is a surface water source. The assessment confirms that the water does not originate from water-stressed areas. Apacer's production processes do not require water, resulting in limited water consumption, which is primarily used for daily domestic purposes.
