Greenhouse gas emissions

In recent years, the global greenhouse effect has led to ozone layer depletion and extreme weather events. I-Chiun Precision has actively aligned itself with global issues and responded to government policies, beginning in 2021 to conduct a comprehensive inventory of greenhouse gases emitted from its plant area. This annual inventory categorizes greenhouse gases by their source into direct and indirect emissions. Direct emissions are generated from refrigerants used in plant utilities, carbon dioxide fire extinguishers, vehicle fuel consumption, and wastewater treatment. Indirect greenhouse gas emissions originate from purchased electricity, all sourced from Taiwan Power Company.

TCFD Climate-Related Financial Disclosures

(I) Climate-related financial disclosures and structures

With reference to the Proposal on Climate-related Financial Disclosure published by TCFD, the sustainability report reveals climate change information and the risks and opportunities it brings, and the sustainability implementation committee conducts climate risk analysis and control, and formulates countermeasures for climate-related risks. In addition to causing extreme weather, it also directly or indirectly affects the operation of enterprises and the consumption behavior of consumers. In order to implement a friendly environment, carry out energy-saving and carbon-reduction related management and improve the competitiveness on sustainable issues.

 

Climate Change Management Framework

 

Governance
In order to practice corporate social responsibility, our company is led by the Sustainability Promotion Committee, which is responsible for coordinating issues related to corporate governance, environmental protection, climate change, and labor. Regular meetings on environmental, social, and governance are held, and the Chairman reports on the performance of the management system and necessary improvement suggestions to the senior management. The first quarter of each year will report the results of the previous year's implementation and the work plan for the current year to the board of directors, and listen to the opinions of the board of directors to make revisions. Incorporate climate change risk related issues and their management objectives.

Strategy
This paper defines short-term and medium-to-long-term timeframes for climate-related risks and opportunities, setting "1-3 years" as short-term and "4-10 years" as medium-to-long-term, and conducts climate risk and opportunity assessments accordingly. Climate risks are categorized into two main types: transitional risks and practical risks, which are further subdivided into policy and regulatory, technological, and market risks, as well as short-term and long-term risks. Opportunities are represented by water resource efficiency.

Risk Management
  • Identify the risks to the company's operations and entities that may be caused by climate change factors (6 items in total) and potential opportunities (1 item in total).
  • Based on the risk factors provided by each unit, a discussion was held, and then high risks and opportunities were selected. Short-, medium- and long-term key climate risk indicators were linked, and financial impact assessments were conducted through quantitative or qualitative methods. Then, relevant response strategies were formulated and key climate targets were set.

Indicators and Targets
  • When production capacity expands and raw material consumption increases accordingly, control the amount of waste generated, energy and water consumed, so that both increase non-linearly and synchronously, to achieve the goal of simultaneous increase in production capacity, revenue and environmental protection effectiveness.
  • Continuously improve the selection of raw materials, and gradually replace high-pollution raw materials with environmentally friendly raw materials to reduce environmental pollution and lower prevention and control costs.
  • Based on the results of the greenhouse gas and carbon footprint survey, examine high emission sources, propose improvement and reduction plans, and implement them accordingly.
 

(II) Climate change risk identification

Climate-related risks and their potential consequences are diverse, dynamic, and long-term, characterized by a high degree of uncertainty and making them difficult to quantify and rank. Therefore, in order to understand the scale of the risks it faces, I-Chiun Precision convened a meeting with the chairman and executives of the Sustainability Promotion Committee to integrate climate change risks. To develop effective management strategies to achieve the goals of risk avoidance, mitigation, or transfer. Continuously track the effectiveness of strategies and the rate of goal achievement through rolling management.

Type Issues Climate related risks Potential financial risks Risk countermeasures
Transformation risks Policies and regulations 1. Levy carbon fees and taxes 1. Increased operating costs (such as compliance costs and increased premiums) 1.Given the ongoing expansion of production lines and company scale, priority will be given to energy-saving, low-carbon, and high-efficiency models for new purchases and replacements.
2. Add relevant regulations 2. Increased costs due to fines and judgments 2. At least once a month, conduct regulatory identification, evaluate relevant regulations related to our company after identification, and plan response strategies to reduce risks.
Market Fluctuations in raw material supply Production was interrupted and delivery was delayed. Raw material inventory is adjusted on a rolling basis, and the supplier's carbon reduction, waste reduction, energy saving performance, and climate change response capabilities are included in the evaluation.
Entity Risk short term The frequency of extreme weather events such as typhoons and floods is increasing. It affects production activities. 1.In response to production disruptions caused by typhoons and heavy rains, we flexibly adjust production capacity and inventory.
2. Regularly inspect factory buildings and equipment, and increase the frequency of maintenance and upkeep.
long term 1. The probability of extreme weather increases. 1. Increased asset insurance premiums raise operating costs. 1. High-power-consuming and energy-intensive equipment will be prioritized for replacement, particularly devices such as air conditioners, cooling systems, and heating systems.
2. Rising average temperatures reduce the heat dissipation capacity of machinery and equipment, increasing the likelihood of equipment damage. 2. Increased consumption of water and electricity usage 2. Except for special units requiring temperature and humidity control, the air conditioning temperature in offices, general affairs areas, public spaces, and meeting rooms should be set at 25 degrees Celsius or higher.
Opportunity Resource Efficiency 1. Water Recovery and Reuse 1. Reduce operating costs Wastewater can be recycled and reused in the production process using recycling equipment, allowing up to 80% of the wastewater to be reused.
2. Reduce water consumption and usage. 2. Increase production capacity and boost income.
