In 2024, ABC-ATEC continued to implement multiple energy-saving and carbon-reduction measures to enhance energy efficiency and reduce carbon emissions. By controlling equipment operating hours and temperature, the Company effectively minimized unnecessary energy consumption. At the same time, ABC-ATEC replaced sensor lights with solar-powered lamps and prioritized the adoption of high-efficiency, energy-saving equipment to further improve energy performance. In addition, power management and temperature adjustments were applied to production equipment and cleanrooms, while contract capacities were optimized and power to idle facilities was shut down to maximize energy utilization.

ABC-ATEC continues to implement energy transition and carbon reduction initiatives, investing over NT$10 million to install a solar photovoltaic system at its Taiwan headquarters, which was officially launched in April 2025. The rooftop solar system has a total installed capacity of 244 kWp and an estimated annual power generation of approximately 240,000 kWh, resulting in an annual carbon reduction of about 120 tCO₂e. All electricity generated will be used for ABC-ATEC’s headquarters operations, achieving not only energy saving and carbon reduction but also multiple benefits such as enhanced roof insulation and cooling, electricity savings, extended roof lifespan, and optimized space utilization.

Based on historical greenhouse gas inventory results, ABC-ATEC’s major carbon emission hotspot lies in Scope 2 electricity consumption, accounting for more than 70% of total emissions. To actively address climate change challenges, ABC-ATEC launched its energy transition and carbon reduction program in 2023, promoting renewable energy and expanding its Green Energy deployment to achieve medium- and long-term net-zero goals, thereby reducing reliance on conventional energy sources and demonstrating a firm commitment to environmental sustainability.

ABC-ATEC’s Green Energy initiative began with the Guangzhou Factory, which signed a Green Energy Purchase Agreement in 2023 and started using green electricity in May of the same year. In 2024, the factory also completed the installation of a self-consumption solar system. The expansion continued with the Malaysia Factory launching its solar power system in November 2024, followed by the Taiwan Factory officially adopting solar power in April 2025—progressively realizing multi-site Green Energy transformation.

As of the end of 2024, ABC-ATEC’s total annual green electricity consumption reached 2.51 million kWh, accounting for 25% of total electricity use. ABC-ATEC will continue to strengthen its sustainability resilience, steadily advance its commitment to sustainable development, and move decisively toward achieving its goals of a 42% emission reduction by 2030 and net-zero carbon emissions by 2050, working hand in hand with the global community to create a sustainable future.

To enhance energy efficiency and reduce the environmental impact of electricity demand, ABC-ATEC actively implements peak shaving and valley filling strategies through intelligent energy management systems to balance electricity usage between peak and off-peak periods. During times of tight power supply, production schedules are adjusted and non-essential equipment operation is reduced to lower instantaneous power loads. This approach helps shift part of the electricity demand to off-peak hours, easing grid pressure, reducing overall electricity costs, and improving power utilization efficiency.

In addition, to strengthen energy flexibility and stability, the Guangzhou Factory officially launched two energy storage systems in September 2024, with a total storage capacity of 428 kWh. These systems serve as key tools for both peak shaving and backup power supply. By storing surplus electricity during off-peak periods and releasing it during peak hours, we effectively reduce energy costs and lighten grid loads. The storage systems also help stabilize power quality during production, minimize the impact of unexpected outages, and, when integrated with renewable energy generation, enhance energy autonomy—advancing toward a more efficient and low-carbon sustainable energy management model.

ABC-ATEC’s carbon reduction target is: “The recent goal is to maintain global temperature rise at 1.5°C. The Company is committed to reducing Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions by 42% by 2030 compared to the 2021 base year, and to achieving net-zero emissions by 2050.” To achieve this goal, ABC-ATEC began purchasing green energy in 2023, with the aim for 45% of the Group’s total electricity consumption to come from green energy by 2030, and 100% by 2050.
