Energy Management
The energy used by EGST's operational sites (including the Taipei Head Office, Hsinchu Factory, Xinying Factory, Kaohsiung Factory, and Container Terminal No.7) includes gasoline, diesel, liquefied petroleum gas, electricity, etc.
Energy Saving Target
According to the "Regulations for Energy Saving Target Stipulation and Plan Execution by Energy Users" announced by the Ministry of Economic Affairs, legal and natural persons with contracted electricity capacity exceeding 800 kW should set energy-saving goals and implementation plans, and the average annual electricity saving rate from 2015 to 2024 should reach more than 1%, Therefore, EGST sets an annual energy-saving target of 1% of electricity consumption for Hsinchu Factory and Xinying Factory.
EGST adheres to the concept of energy saving and sustainable operation and has long been concerned about energy issues. In 2024, it replaced the lamps that have reached their service life, and replacement for production equipment and replacement of cooling towers for air compressors, saving a total of 763.45 GJ of electricity.
In addition, according to the annual electricity saving target of 1%, and phasing out high-energy-consuming process equipment in 2024, it is estimated that a total of 1,177 GJ of externally purchased electricity will be saved in 2027.
Water Resources Management
All operational sites of the Company—including the Taipei Head Office, Hsinchu Factory, Xinying Factory, Kaohsiung Factory, and Container Terminal No. 7—source their water supply from tap water. Each unit implements effective management of water resource usage within its facilities, conducts annual water consumption statistics and water quality testing, and strengthens water resource management to reduce consumption through the promotion of various water-saving measures. Compared to 2023, the total water consumption in 2024 increased by 11.728 million liters (approximately 23%), primarily due to increased production and corresponding manpower demand. However, the water intensity remained unchanged.
