In response to the global ESG trend of energy saving and carbon reduction, 2050 carbon neutrality and RE100 trend of green power, which has driven the demand for green power from major corporations and companies for sustainable business opportunities. Ennoconn Corporation established EnnoFill Power Co., Ltd. and setted up the green power trading platform to provide stable source of Green Energy and to help Ennoconn Corporation to expand the business opportunities related to green power and green energy and achieve the combination of energy generation, energy storage, energy saving, green power, etc., the Ennoconn Group’s net-zero carbon emissions. And the group will provide one-stop energy solution services.

In July 2024, Throughout Ennoconn’s subsidiary: Ennoconn International Investment Co., Ltd. invested $5.0 million to established 100% owned subsidiary named EnnoFill Power Co., Ltd, which will accelerate the efficiency of integrating the use of renewable energy by the Ennoconn Group, but advance the goal of energy saving and carbon reduction, and promote the  Ennoconn Group’s energy transformation and sustainable development; Through EnnoFill Power Co., Ltd‘s green power trading platform and renewable energy certificate trading, users can directly purchase green power and enhance the transparency of energy use. Currently, Ennoconn Group plans to prioritize the use of green power in Ennoconn Corporation and its subsidiaries, and to complete the overall target of RE100 in Taiwan year by year, and expects to have a small amount of operation in 2025, with a trading volume of approximately 3,000,000 kWh of green power, and then increase by 10,000,000 kWh of green power annually to realize the environmental benefits of enterprises in various countries working together to protect the earth. After that, we will increase at least 10,000,000 kWh of green electricity per year year, in order to realize that enterprises from all over the world can work together to protect the earth and maximize the benefits of green electricity to the environment.

GHG EMISSIONS

Coping with climate change has become a current issue facing the global citizens of the earth. Our company takes relevant measures in the heart of caring for and protecting the earth. We strictly prohibit the use of hazardous substances established by global regulations in our products to avoid potential harm to organisms or the environment.

In addition to banning the use of hazardous materials and products, we expect to be committed to addressing climate change trends. Implement energy conservation and carbon reduction measures, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and formulate specific energy conservation plans.

For each year in the future, we will accelerate the implementation of net zero emissions plans and further commit to environmental conservation responsibilities.

In 2024, in order to protect the environment, Ennoconn will strive to complete the following projects:

1. The ISO 14064-1 Greenhouse Gas Inventory Committee established internal verification plan, and the greenhouse gas inventory is implemented year by year.
2. Complete the third-party certification of the ISO 14064-1 greenhouse gas inventory statement and the ISO 50001 energy system certification before the end of 2024.
3. Reduce the organization’s greenhouse gas emissions according to the plan. Taking 2021 as the base year target, carbon emissions will be reduced by 30% in 2025 and 50% in 2030. The long-term strategy is to achieve net zero emissions by 2050.

Ennoconn’s individual parent company completed Scope 1, 2, and 3 inventories and obtained third-party verification in 2023, and is currently disclosing only some of its key listed subsidiaries and major operating locations. 2025 will report annually on its consolidated subsidiaries’ compliance with ISO 14064-1 inventories and third-party verification and disclosure of 2026 greenhouse gas inventories, in accordance with the requirements of the “Roadmap for Sustainability of Listed Counterparty Companies”. Information.

The total GHG emissions of Scope 1 and Scope 2 of the Individual Parent Company in 2012 amounted to 381.69 tons of CO2e, which mainly came from the electricity emissions of Scope 2, accounting for 88.93% of the former emissions. As the Company mainly operates in an office environment, the emission sources mainly come from indirect greenhouse gases. The main reduction measures include the complete replacement of office lighting with LED lamps and the parallel use of four centralized chiller units on the third, fourth, fifth and sixth floors to save energy and electricity, which resulted in a 9.18% reduction in carbon emissions in Scope 1 plus Scope 2 compared to the base year of 110. In order to continue to meet the international trend of reduction, Ennoconn Sustainability Development Committee has formulated the 2030 Sustainability Vision and set the short-term 2025 total carbon emissions to be reduced by 30% compared to the base year 2021, medium-term 50%, and long-term 100% to achieve the goal of net-zero carbon emissions.

Specific reduction measures are carried out in three major areas, which is equipment, systems, and operations. Through the Green Procurement Program and the Energy Management System (EMS), the Company has taken stock of its old, energy-consuming equipment, and purchased replacement infrastructure equipment designated by the government as having an eco-label. In response to the risks and opportunities of climate change, we plan to purchase renewable energy certificates and invest in the development of a green energy trading platform, and join the RE 100 (100% Renewable Energy Initiative), which aims to utilize 60% renewable energy by 2030 and 100% renewable energy by 2040. In addition, we will combine energy storage, energy creation and charging station equipment to achieve one plus two zero emissions in our offices and provide resources to support our subsidiaries to achieve the Group’s carbon reduction targets.

Water Resource Management

Ennconn does not have any factory water waste, and most of its water consumption is domestic water, which is obtained from tap water. The location of the office is not a water stress area, so it does not cause any impact on water resources. However, in response to climate change, which affects the unstable water situation in Taiwan, Ennoconn is still tracking its water consumption and aims to reduce water consumption year by year. In 2012, the water consumption was 4.455 million liters, an increase of 0.802 million liters, or 21.95%, compared to 2022. The main reason is that Ennoconn focuses on the hygiene and health of employees, and internally strengthens the guidance on the need to wash their hands before going to work in the office, which leads to an increase in the amount of water consumption.

Water Consumption in the Last Two Years:

Waste Management

As an office-based company, Ennoconn produces fewer types of waste than other industries. However, for the purpose of environmental protection and to effectively manage and handle waste, improve environmental hygiene, prevent public pollution, and reduce the burden on the environment, Ennconn has formulated the “Waste Management Measures” to promote compliance by all departments and employees. The Company’s waste is managed at the source, from the employees’ domestic garbage, which is uniformly handed over to the management committee of the building for transportation and treatment, and through employee education and training, the Company is able to effectively promote the reduction and classification of waste, improve the reusability of resources and the value of resource recycling.

Waste in the Last Two Years:

In response to our commitment to biodiversity and deforestation, Ennoconn has implemented a paperless policy by providing an electronic signing system that saves space in the room where documents are kept and increases the efficiency of transmitting and signing documents. In addition, we continue to implement green purchasing and prioritize the use of recycled paper with environmental labels. We also promote the use of recycled paper and duplex and multifunctional printing among our employees to save paper usage, and we have set the goal of reducing paper usage year by year by surveying the amount of paper used in 2023, which is 77,071 sheets of A4 photocopying paper.

Ennoconn devotes itself to environmental protection, formulates waste management measures, and has implemented measures for resource recycling and garbage classification for many years.
All waste products are handed over to qualified recycling manufacturers for processing.
In terms of packaging materials, Ennoconn also uses recycled materials as much as possible to reduce the impact on the environmental load, and advocates energy conservation in daily operations to improve energy efficiency.

Carbon emission yearly trend

The company’s carbon emissions in 2021 (base year): 397.02 tCO2e (Scope 1+2); 2022: 364.98 tCO2e; 2023: 360.57 tCO2e (Note: The greenhouse gas emission data in 2023 has not been verified by a third party ).

Conflict Minerals Free Policy

In July 2010, the U.S. Government signed the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Dodd-Frank Act”). Section 1502 of the Dodd-Frank Act requires all US publicly traded companies to file disclosures and reports with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) related to the use of Conflict Minerals in their products.

ENNOCONN is taking due diligence within our supply chain to assure “DRC Conflict-Free” for the Minerals of Gold (Au), Tantalum (Ta), Tungsten (W) , Tin (Sn) and Cobalt (Co) are not derived from or sourced from mines in conflict areas of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), or illegally taxed on trade routes, either of which are controlled by non-governmental military groups, or unlawful military factions. Trade routes not confirmed to be “Conflict Free” include direct exports from the DRC, as well as exports through Rwanda, Uganda, Burundi, Tanzania and Kenya (Countries of whom the U.N. Security Council note are global export routes for DRC-mined minerals).

ENNOCONN, as the global citizen, declares and commits to refusing the application of metals from conflict regions, meanwhile we request suppliers of ENNOCONN’s supply chain to comply with the following requirements:

1. Ensure operation complies with the social and environmental policies.

2. Not to use conflict minerals originating from the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) and its adjoining countries and other conflict regions.
