Linking Climate Strategy with Compensation Systems
The climate strategy centers on "Environmentally Friendly Operations," "Sustainable Supply Chain," and "Green Innovation," including the use of renewable energy, reduction of electricity consumption, supply chain carbon reduction, and energy-efficient product design. At least 10% of KPIs for senior executives are climate-related, linking performance to compensation to motivate and strengthen goal execution. For general employees, there is an "Energy Saving and Carbon Reduction Incentive Program" to encourage proposals, raising sustainability awareness across the organization and involving everyone in the implementation and advancement of the climate strategy.
Climate Risks and Opportunities
Risk Identification, Assessment, and Management
The Office of Sustainable Development, along with various departments, conducts an annual assessment of climate risks and opportunities, covering transitional and physical risks. These include current regulations, emerging regulations, technology, market, reputation, litigation, acute hazards, and chronic hazards. The timeline is defined as short-term (1-3 years), mid-term (3-5 years), and long-term (5+ years). Consideration is given to existing and emerging climate-related regulations, such as the "Climate Change Response Act," "Renewable Energy Development Act," and various local "Low-Carbon City Self-Government Ordinances."
Using matrix analysis, risks and opportunities in the value chain are identified based on impact and likelihood. Coefficients from sources such as the SSP Public Database, TCCIP future scenarios, and international industry trend reports are used to determine the financial impact of climate risks and opportunities on the company.
The Chief Strategy Officer and General Manager monitor implementation monthly, with the Chief Sustainability Officer reporting to the committee and board.
In 2024, climate transition risks with significant impacts—particularly those driven by stakeholder expectations—were identified as having the highest likelihood and severity. This was followed by the cost burden of adopting low-carbon technologies. As climate concerns grow, companies face increasingly stringent carbon reduction standards and are expected to leverage supply chain influence to drive decarbonization, further heightening transition risks and cost pressures. Meanwhile, the rapid advancement of AI technologies is accelerating computing demands, leading to greater energy consumption and carbon emissions. Balancing technological development with energy efficiency and emissions reduction has become a critical issue for business competitiveness and sustainable development.
In terms of physical risks, heavy rainfall poses the highest impact and likelihood. As global warming intensifies, extreme weather events are becoming more frequent and severe, with increasing regional concentration. This trend adds uncertainty to operational risks and potential losses caused by natural disasters.
In terms of climate-related opportunities, the development of low-carbon products presents a key growth driver for enterprises, helping maintain long-term competitive advantages amid the global decarbonization trend.
2024 Greenhouse Gas Emissions Statistics (Scope 1+2)
For Scope 3, the primary emission sources are purchased goods and services, and the use of sold products. Wiwynn promotes carbon reduction across its supply chain through a three-year (2023–2025) Supplier Decarbonization Program announced via supplier workshops. A Sustainable Supply Chain Platform has been established to enable two-way communication with supplier partners, aligning carbon reduction goals and pathways. In addition, Wiwynn collaborates with customers to develop environmentally beneficial products and improve energy efficiency.
2024 Greenhouse Gas Emissions
Energy Management
In 2024, purchased renewable electricity was the primary energy source (62.15%), followed by purchased non-renewable electricity (30.93%). Total renewable energy consumption reached 297,277,279 MJ, while non-renewable energy use was 155,623,338 MJ.

Environmental Management
Wiwynn Group’s main operational (production) sites are 100% certified under ISO 14001. With the thorough implementation of the P-D-C-A process, Wiwynn has maintained a record of no environmental violations or penalties for five consecutive years.
Waste Management
The company identifies hazardous industrial waste through environmental impact assessments and evaluates its impact on the value chain to adopt appropriate management methods to reduce environmental and human harm. Wiwynn strictly adheres to the Waste Disposal Act and other relevant regulations, ensuring the proper execution of reporting and disposal procedures. To effectively manage waste generated during production and operations, the company commissions qualified transport and disposal agencies to handle waste, ensuring compliance with environmental, safety, and health standards. Contracts are signed with these agencies, and any legal violations will result in immediate termination of cooperation.
In 2023, the company audited the transport and disposal agencies as per the procedures and found no deficiencies, demonstrating a rigorous approach and effective execution in waste management.

Waste
The Company identifies hazardous industrial waste based on environmental impact assessments and evaluates its impact across the value chain. Appropriate management measures are adopted to reduce harm to the environment and human health. We strictly comply with the Waste Disposal Act and related regulations, implementing proper reporting and disposal procedures. To effectively manage waste generated from production and operations, the Company commissions licensed waste transportation and treatment agencies to ensure compliance with environmental, safety, and hygiene standards. Contracts with these agencies include clauses for immediate termination in the event of legal violations.
Waste Management Results
In 2024, the waste recycling rate reached 88.94%, an increase of 4.06% compared to 2023. To reduce waste generation, our Mexico subsidiary implemented a recycling program for wooden crates and pallets used in product transportation, achieving an average reuse rate of five times. It is estimated that this reduced waste by 2,919,213 kilograms in 2024, generating an economic benefit of NT$1 billion. Wiwynn will continue to expand waste reuse channels, strengthen the recycling system, and enhance resource recovery efficiency to improve environmental performance.
Water Resources
Wiwynn’s operations primarily use domestic water and do not involve process water. Water sources include tap water, recycled water, and groundwater. Wastewater generated is limited to domestic sewage. In 2024, 25.78 million liters of water were recycled, accounting for 9.29% of total water withdrawal. Recycled water came from rainwater, air conditioning condensate, and handwashing water, and was reused for air conditioning and landscape irrigation.
Air
The Company uses only isopropyl alcohol (IPA) for cleaning purposes during production, with no other gas emissions. The levels are below legal regulatory thresholds. In accordance with the Montreal Protocol, ozone-depleting substances (ODS) are classified as hazardous and are strictly prohibited in materials delivered by suppliers. Wiwynn conducts annual inventories at its Taiwan manufacturing sites. The Company will continue to report and monitor in compliance with the Air Pollution Control Act to meet legal and environmental requirements.
