Greenhouse Gas Reduction Targets and Action Plans

In addition, to strengthen the group's carbon management capabilities, WPG Holdings has launched a carbon management project. Key operational sites with significant emission sources have been identified and prioritized for management. Carbon reduction targets are set, and specific action plans are implemented to reduce the overall carbon emissions of the group.

2025 Greenhouse Gas Reduction Targets and Action Plans

In terms of energy management, the main focus of WPG Holdings is to control energy consumption in real time through smart equipment, and to enhance the added value of data through the digitization of systems data for effective analysis, management and improvement. Furthermore, for built facilities and equipment, regular maintenance and repair are carried out annually and aging equipment replaced. The logistics warehouse has also replaced major power-consuming equipment, including air conditioning, lighting, and refrigeration equipment, with energy-efficient models to reduce energy consumption. In addition to said smart equipment installation and regular equipment maintenance, WPG Holdings also formulates relevant energy management through data analysis and norms. For example, control over elevators, lighting and air conditioning during peak and off-peak hours, and seasonal water temperature control, etc. In the future, the Company will also evaluate the installation of solar panels in logistics warehouses and AI lighting in offices. 

Energy Management Goals

In order to achieve the 2030 Net Zero Emissions target for the operating sites and the 2050 Net Zero emissions target for WPG Holdings, energy efficiency will be prioritized as the primary emissions reduction approach. WPG Holdings analyzed electricity usage at major operational sites and strengthened energy management across all locations. The current planning for energy management (including renewable energy) of WPG Holdings are as follows : 

Strategy and Goals of Renewable Energy

To strengthen the management of power consumption at each location. WPG Holdings will expand the use of renewable energy step by step, and adopt “purchase of REC, procurement of green power, and selfconstruction” as the strategic tools to achieve the milestones for the Group’s renewable energy utilization rate. In 2024, the renewable energy usage from self-construction in the office areas was 11,989 kWh, accounting for 0.09% of the total energy consumption of the Group. At the same time, the I-REC purchase achieved 29% renewable energy usage for the Group.

Service Carbon Footprint

Promote Service Carbon Footprint Inventory

WPG Holdings plays the role of a distributor in the semiconductor component supply chain and is not directly involved in the manufacturing process. As such, the Company does not belong to a high carbonemitting industry. However, we share a common Net Zero goal with our upstream and downstream supply chain partners. To better understand the carbon emissions from our warehousing services, WPG Holdings conducted its first service carbon footprint assessment in 2024. The assessment was carried out in reference to ISO 14067:2018 and the Product Category Rules (PCR) for road transportation services announced by Taiwan’s Ministry of Environment in 2022. The assessment focused on four warehouses—Linkou, Hong Kong, Dongguan, and Singapore—and calculated the carbon emissions per metric ton of warehousing service. The results serve as a baseline for future emission reduction tracking and performance improvement. Based on 2023 data, the service carbon footprint was calculated to be 68.95 kgCO₂e per metric ton of warehousing service. Of this, 88% of emissions came from the raw material acquisition stage, 7% from the service delivery stage, and 5% from the end-of-life stage.

Service Carbon Footprint Reduction Actions

To better understand the life cycle impact of its warehousing services, WPG Holdings promptly initiated follow-up reduction actions and planning across its four warehouses after completing the carbon footprint assessment. Based on the identified high-emission hotspots, the Company will formulate concrete reduction targets. According to the assessment results, each warehouse will prioritize emission reductions in the raw material acquisition stage, including adopting low-carbon material alternatives and promoting circular use of packaging resources. At the same time, WPG will continue to improve energy efficiency and regularly track the usage of raw materials and energy resources to achieve its goal of reducing the service carbon footprint.

Internal Carbon Pricing, ICP

In the future, WPG Holdings plans to evaluate the implementation of an internal carbon pricing mechanism, starting with major emission sites and gradually expanding the scope to cover all operational sites across the Group. The carbon price will be determined with reference to domestic and international carbon fee benchmarks. The Company plans to integrate this mechanism into its corporate decision-making processes to assess the impact of carbon emissions on business operations and accelerate the implementation of carbon reduction measures. The internal carbon pricing mechanism and pricing will be reviewed regularly and adjusted dynamically.

Water Management

WPG Holdings' corporate headquarters building and Linkou warehouse are equipped with rainwater harvesting systems for automatic irrigation. The harvested water is used solely for plant maintenance, aiming to recycle and reuse water resources.  Facilities and equipment are regularly maintained, serviced, and upgraded, such as replacing automatic faucets to reduce energy consumption. Additionally, all office locations are monitored in real-time or through regular data collection to control water resource usage, implementing corresponding improvements as control measures.

Water Management Goals

In order to achieve the above-mentioned water resources control, WPG Holdings set the following water conservation targets :

Achievement of Water Resource Reduction Goals

WPG Holdings is committed to reducing the waste of environmental water resources. The reduction performance of the office areas and logistics warehouses in Taiwan in 2024 is stated as follows :

Paper Resource Management

WPG Holdings use smart equipment and digital tools to reduce paper usage and avoid resource waste. System data is used as the basis for subsequent analysis and paper resource management. For example, multifunctional office machines and postal label printers are used to reduce or replace paper and adhesive material waste. In logistics warehouses, digital tools are used to replace paper, Microsoft Forms is widely used to execute SOP audits, electronic warehouse temperature and humidity statistics, and electronic emergency inbound and outbound manifests. 

WPG Holdings conducts waste management according to 2 types: office area and logistics warehouse. Due to the nature of our business, WPG Holdings does not produce hazardous waste, and our office waste and warehouse waste are exempted from the Standards for Dening Hazardous Industrial Waste. The target of waste reduction in the Taiwan office area of WPG Holdings is 1% per year by 2022, and 3% by 2025.

Waste Management Goals

To achieve control over said waste, WPG has set the following waste goals. In the future, it will proactively implement the waste reduction practices and continue to evaluate the possibility for improving the goals :

Office Area Waste

In accordance with the nature of the industry, WPG Holdings attaches great importance to office waste management. We encourage and enhance the employees' environmental awareness through clear waste classification, recycling, and various
environmental management measures.

Since 2017, WPG Holdings has implemented and promoted resource recycling initiatives, including classifying and eighing recycled materials to monitor current recycling status and evaluate effectiveness. To further support waste reduction, since the inauguration of the Company’s headquarters building in November 2020, no personal trash bins have been provided. Instead, clearly labeled recycling bins, including those for food waste, are installed in pantries on each floor. Employees are required to dispose of their waste in the pantry themselves, where waste is sorted before being collected by cleaning staff and moved to a centralized waste storage room. This approach aims to cultivate green awareness and strengthen environmental habits through daily self-discipline and personal responsibility. Beginning in 2022, WPG Holdings has also conducted statistical surveys on the amount of domestic waste generated, using the data to support its carbon reduction action planning. WPG Holdings actively monitors the flow of wastewater and waste materials.

For wastewater management, the headquarters building is equipped with a dedicated drainage pipeline to channel wastewater directly into the municipal sanitary sewer system, thereby reducing environmental pollution. As for waste disposal, recyclable resources are handled by licensed waste disposal providers (excluding confidential documents, which are managed by specialized document destruction companies). A centralized waste storage facility is located on the basement floor for both general waste and recyclables. In addition, refrigerated food waste storage equipment is provided to enable the reuse of food waste. The Company is also actively promoting circular reuse of food waste, such as composting or turning it into feed for ecofarming purposes, in order to enhance its reuse value.

Logistics Warehouse Waste

Recyclable waste such as damaged pallets and waste plastic films will be collected and weighed first and then recycled by the
supplier. Compared with 2023, the warehouse waste was reduced by 2.3%.
