OVERVIEW

(1) Future quantitative management of energy saving and carbon reduction

After the Company introduced the ISO-14001 environmental management system and continued to implement a number of energy-saving and carbon reduction measures, it has achieved significant performance so far; based on the management principle of continuous improvement, the Company set relevant quantitative management goals for improvement, with a view to making further contributions to protecting the global environment, as explained below:

A.Quantitative management objectives for greenhouse gas reduction, water resources management and waste management:

1. Greenhouse gas reduction

The Company's quantitative management goals for greenhouse gas reduction are as follows: The per capita greenhouse gas emission decreases by 4% in 2025 compared with 2019.

2. Water resources management

In response to climate change, stable water supply has become a global issue. To fulfill its social responsibilities and respond to global water shortage issues, the company has set quantitative goals for water resources management as follows: By 2025, the overall per capita water consumption will be reduced by 2% compared with 2019, with a view to taking concrete actions to face the challenges of climate change with global corporates.

3. Waste reduction

The Company's goal of quantitative management of waste reduction: The personal output of waste in 2025 will be 2% lower than that in 2019.

B.Measures to achieve goals:

1.Greenhouse Gas Reduction

• Evaluation of public area lighting system to be replaced by LED lights


• The air-conditioning temperature of the office area is set at 26 ~ 28°C.


• Turn off non-essential lighting during meals and breaks.


• Promote a paperless policy and import electronic forms to reduce paper consumption.


• Use environmentally friendly tableware for dining and encourage employees to bring their own tableware to reduce the use of disposable tableware.


• Use green products and select equipment and appliances with energy-saving labels.


• Encourage employees to use stairs instead of elevators.

2.Water Resource Management

• Display water-saving slogans to develop the habit of saving water.


• Monitor water consumption and address any abnormalities immediately to avoid wasting water resources.


• Reduce the amount of environmental cleaning agents and reduce the amount of cleaning water.

3. Waste Management

• Implement a resource recycling classification mechanism.


• Promote employee waste reduction.


• Comply with the relevant provisions of environmental regulations and implement environmental policies.

(2)Climate change assessment and countermeasures

The United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) pointed out that global warming will exceed 1.5°C in 2030 at the earliest. Climate change has become an issue that should be ignored.

ESMT is of the view that climate change is becoming more and more serious, and there is a high degree of correlation between product production and the supply chain of related industries. In order to continue to strengthen the Company's ability to respond to and combat climate change, the Company will disclose detailed environmental and climate-related measures in an appropriate manner, and disclose the risks and opportunities brought by the climate to the Company's operations with reference to the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD). From the four major aspects of governance, strategy, risk management, and indicators and objectives, the Company will strengthen its governance of climate change in response to the expectations of external stakeholders about the Company's management of climate change.

(II) Annual greenhouse gas emissions, water consumption and the total weight of waste in the past two years.

In response to global climate change, the Company reduced and managed greenhouse gas emissions, implemented environmental justice, and fulfilled the responsibility to jointly protect the global environment. In addition, the Company actively responds to the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP), and voluntarily disclosed its investigation in greenhouse gas emissions according to the World Business Sustainable Development Association (WBCSD) and the GHGProtocol issued by the Resource Research Institute (WRI). The results of the investigation are shown in the table below.
