Climate change and carbon management

Management Policy

Reason for the Issue's Importance

To align with the government's 2050 net-zero carbon emissions target, greenhouse gas inventory and emissions have been identified as a Major Issue.

Impact and Influence

  • Economic Potential Negative Impact:
    1. To meet the government's net-zero carbon target, introducing low-carbon investments, whether by replacing energyintensive equipment or implementing a circular economy, will increase operating expenses and raise product prices.
    2. Since our company's products are exported to Europe and the United States, facing the implementation of a carbon tax system at export destinations will increase production costs.
  • Corporate Image Potential Positive Impact: Reducing carbon emissions can lower the carbon footprint of products, enhancing the competitiveness of our products in the market.
  • Environmental Potential Positive Impact: Reducing greenhouse gas emissions and being environmentally friendly

Policy/Strategy

Our company proactively conducted an ISO 14064 greenhouse gas inventory in 2021 and passed the third-party verification unit's audit to confirm the accuracy of the inventory data. Since 2021, we have arranged for an annual greenhouse gas inventory to confirm whether our company's greenhouse gas inventory data shows a decreasing trend year by year.

Goals and Targets

(Using 2022 as the baseline year for the greenhouse gas inventory)
Short-term Goals: Reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 8% compared to the baseline year by 2023.
Mid-term Goals: Reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 25% compared to the baseline year by 2025.
Long-term Goals: Achieve net-zero carbon emissions by 2050.

Management Evaluation Mechanism

Our company conducts effectiveness evaluations of PDCA annually, focusing on the environment and greenhouse gas emissions, according to ISO 14001 and ISO 14064 internal audits and management review procedures.

Performance and Adjustments

2024年與 2021年比較,已降低7.57%溫室氣體排放。
2024年底時計畫啟動陸續建置,將現場作業區內較耗能的機台設備上安裝能源管理偵測系統,藉此觀察出較耗能的設備並加以汰換已達減碳之目標。

Preventive or Remedial Measures

Continuously implement plans to replace old and energyconsuming equipment and accelerate green procurement.

Climate Change-Related Financial Disclosure

本公司秉持於持續創新提供客戶高品質產品價值的同時,為落實對環境永續成為客戶的綠色供應鏈,提出了對環境永續的政策規劃與願景,期許於2025年達到相較基準年之碳排量減碳25%的中期目標,其推展策略與執行計畫如下:

Governance Unit

本公司董事長指派總經理成立溫室氣體盤查小組,由溫盤小組成員負責蒐集資訊並規劃減碳計畫,減碳計畫由各事業單位負責執行。

Risk Category

Replacing energy-consuming equipment and purchasing green raw materials will increase operational costs.
Customer demands for low-carbon services increase carbon reduction costs.
Extreme weather conditions lead to raw material shortages or difficulties in shipping

Opportunity Category

Replacing energy-consuming equipment for energy savings and carbon reduction.
Using recycled and reusable raw materials to achieve sustainable cycles.
Developing low-carbon products to expand market service range.
Enhancing corporate image and increasing company value.

Strategy

When facing the risks and opportunities brought by climate change, TNP has formulated corresponding operational strategies:
  • Short-Term Operational Strategy:Plan to monitor and inventory energy-consuming equipment. Implement waste classification to reduce waste volume. Promote water and electricity conservation across the plant.
  • Mid-Term Operational Strategy:Plan to replace or improve energy-consuming equipment. Implement ISO 50001 energy management system. Install energy storage equipment and use solar green energy.
  • Long-Term Operational Strategy:Develop renewable raw materials. Use ISO 14001 environmental management system. Implement ISO 14064 greenhouse gas inventory and ISO 50001 energy management system to find opportunities for sustainable improvement. Strive to achieve net-zero carbon emissions by 2050 to meet national and international requirements.

Risk Management

The company has formulated emergency response guidelines for risks brought by extreme weather conditions such as power outages, floods, typhoons, infectious diseases, and earthquakes. The company plans to conduct regular emergency response drills to ensure preparedness in the event of a disaster. These emergency response guidelines are available for stakeholders to review but are not published on the company’s official website.

Indicators and Targets

氣候變遷對地球的影響,台灣在全球的倡議之下,訂出了 2050年達成淨零排放的目標,本公司也以此為終極目標,並且訂下了2021年至2025年累積減碳25%的中期目標。為此,本公司於2024 年開始:
  • Monitoring the energy use of high-energy-consuming equipment and improving or replacing the most energy-consuming ones to achieve energy savings and carbon reduction.
  • 加速綠色採購,導入PETG友善環境材料及環保油墨等對環境友善之生產材料,以有效降低營運過程中所產生的碳排放,真正達到綠色製造。
  • 使用回收PVC材料,減少對環境的破壞。
Short-term GoalsMid-term GoalsLong-term Goals
  • Monitor and inventory energy-consuming equipment
  • Implement waste sorting to reduce waste volume
  • Promote water and electricity conservation throughout the plant
  • Replace or improve energy-consuming equipment
  • Implement ISO 50001 Energy Management System
  • Plan to add energy storage equipment
  • Plan to use solar green electricity
  • Develop renewable materials
  • Continue seeking sustainable improvement opportunities through ISO 14001 Environmental Management System, ISO 14064, Greenhouse Gas Inventory, and ISO 50001 Energy Management System
  • Achieve net-zero carbon emissions by 2050

Financial Impact

Our company currently serves a diverse customer base, including several in Europe, and may face carbon tariffs from various countries in the future, leading to increased operational costs due to climate change.
Although our current greenhouse gas emissions are between 1,000 tons CO2e and 1,500 tons CO2e, which is not subject to national carbon taxes, we must plan to replace energy-intensive equipment, develop environmentally friendly alternative raw materials, and use some green energy to reduce carbon emissions.

Carbon Pricing Basis

Our company currently does not have an internal carbon pricing tool.
