Climate Change Response Measures

Energy Saving and Carbon Reduction Sustainable Development Policy
The issue of greenhouse gases has long attracted the attention of governments and enterprises around the world. ASIX is aware that the earth's climate and environment are deteriorating day by day due to the impact of greenhouse gases. In response to the increasingly stringent carbon emission restrictions, ASIX has redefined its corporate values, believing that long-term development requires companies to coexist harmoniously with society and the environment. ASIX also aligns with global environmental protection and sustainability efforts by committing to the sustainable operation of its core business. The company practices the '3R' green design concept—Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle—into its product design, raw material selection, manufacturing, and sales processes, contributing to its long-term sustainable development goals and fulfilling its corporate social responsibilities.

ASIX will implement plans based on greenhouse gas inventory standards. Future inventory results will be statistically analyzed and verified by third-party verification units to provide references for future planning and implementation of improvement plans. The company will also continue to promote the energy-saving, environmental protection, and earth-loving sustainability policies, fulfilling the company’s responsibilities as global citizens.

Greenhouse Gas Inventory and Energy Carbon Reduction Management Policy

ASIX is a professional chip design company, engages in product design, research, development, and sales. The production and manufacturing of chips is outsourced to professional foundries. During the company's operations, the main energy needs come from air conditioning and lighting which are common daily necessities, with electricity being the main energy source.

Based on ASIX’s internal assessment prior to the coaching agency's involvement, electricity constitutes more than 99% of its greenhouse gas emissions. Therefore, ASIX’s strategy to reduce these emissions focuses on lowering energy consumption by improving energy efficiency and minimizing electricity waste. Below is ASIX's self-reported data on greenhouse gas emissions.

Energy Saving and Carbon Reduction Measures

The consensus on energy conservation and carbon reduction not only enhances global industrial competitiveness but is also crucial for reducing greenhouse gas emissions. ASIX's primary electricity-consuming equipment is its air conditioning system. Due to climate change, rising temperatures have indirectly increased the load and electricity consumption of these systems. Nevertheless, the company actively promotes various energy-saving measures to improve energy efficiency and minimize environmental impact.

The company's energy conservation and carbon reduction measures include periodic education for employees, fostering the habit of turning off power to reduce electricity waste. Additionally, ASIX prioritizes energy-efficient products during equipment upgrades, including:
． Chilled water units for air conditioning systems
． LED lighting upgrades
． High-efficiency UPS systems
． Continuously following the latest energy-saving technologies and products

Energy Saving and Carbon Reduction Management Goals

ASIX will continue to advance its energy conservation and carbon reduction plans to decrease electricity consumption annually per the number of employees. Its goal is to achieve the targets and publish the company’s inventory data by 2026. By 2027, ASIX will outline specific reduction goals, strategies, and action plans.

Water Resources Management Policy

Conserving water and protecting water resources are fundamental principles of ASIX Electronics. As ASIX is not involved in manufacturing, there is no factory process water usage. The water used in its operations comes exclusively from the municipal water supply, with no use of groundwater or other sources. The wastewater produced is primarily domestic in nature, making water consumption a non-critical issue for the company. The water usage over the past three years is as follows:

Water Saving Measures
ASIX has implemented the following water-saving measures:
． Educate employees to develop good water-saving habits and turn off water sources promptly when not in use
． Establish an immediate reporting system to ensure that any damaged or leaking water supply equipment is repaired promptly to avoid wasting water resources
． Adjust the water flow of supply devices, use water-saving valves, and employ sanitary equipment with water-saving certification
． Add chemicals to cooling towers to maintain water quality and reduce the frequency of cleaning, thus minimizing large-scale water usage

Water Resources Management Goals
ASIX’s goal is to gradually decrease water usage annually, measured by the number of employees, to achieve the purpose of continuous water reduction.

Waste Management Goals

ASIX’s goal is to gradually decrease waste annually, measured by the number of employees, to achieve the purpose of continuous waste reduction.
