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 and Carbon Reduction

To reduce the impact of energy consumption on global warming, Evergreen Steel has established an energy policy and promotes various energy-saving and carbon reduction measures through internal meetings and announcements. Through both engineering improvements and administrative management measures, the Company implements energy conservation initiatives to reduce energy consumption.

Energy Saving Target

According to the “Regulations Governing the Establishment of Energy Saving Targets and Implementation Plans by Energy Users from 2025 to 2028” announced by the Ministry of Economic Affairs, power users with contracted capacity exceeding 800 kW are required to establish energy-saving targets and implementation plans, with an annual electricity-saving rate of at least 1%. Accordingly, the Company (Hsinchu Factory and Xinying Factory) has set an annual energy-saving target of reducing electricity consumption by 1%.

The Company has long been committed to energy conservation and energy management. In 2025, the Company replaced lighting equipment that had reached the end of its service life within the plant areas, upgraded production equipment, and replaced air conditioning systems and transformers, achieving total electricity-savings of 883.65 GJ.

Note: Electricity-savings were calculated using the formula: Electricity Savings (kWh) * 0.0036.

In addition, based on the annual electricity-saving target of 1% and using 2025 as the baseline year for electricity consumption, the Company plans to gradually replace high energy- consuming process equipment. It is estimated that cumulative savings of 837 GJ in externally purchased electricity will be achieved from 2026 to 2028.

Water Resources Management

All operational sites of the Company — including the Taipei Head Office, Hsinchu Factory, Xinying Factory, Kaohsiung Factory, and the Seventh Container Center — source their water supply from tap water. Each responsible unit implements effective water resource management measures within its facilities, conducts annual water consumption statistics and water quality testing, and promotes various water-saving measures to reduce water consumption. For example, in 2025, water-saving devices were installed on faucets in restrooms and pantry areas at Plants 1 and 2 of the Xinying Factory to reduce water flow without affecting user experience. Compared to 2024, total water consumption in 2025 decreased by 1.565 megaliters (approximately 2.52%).
