Environmental Sustainability

GCM is committed to advancing low-carbon and environmentally friendly manufacturing processes, striving to become an outstanding enterprise that achieves stable profitability while upholding environmental responsibility. In the face of challenges posed by sustainable development and the low-carbon era, GCM regards energy management as one of its top priorities and a core focus for future operations. In recent years, the company has effectively reduced energy consumption and enhanced production efficiency through diverse strategies—for example, developing low-carbon products using advanced technologies, installing energy-saving equipment such as regenerative thermal oxidizers in its plants, and managing energy use in both offices and production facilities. These various energy-saving strategies are implemented in parallel to achieve comprehensive energy management.

In response to the national timeline for greenhouse gas (GHG) inventory and verification for listed companies, GCM began conducting voluntary carbon inventories in 2023. The company plans to complete GHG inventory processes for its consolidated subsidiaries by 2026, achieve GHG assurance for the standalone entity by 2028, and complete GHG assurance for consolidated subsidiaries by 2029. To meet regulatory requirements on schedule, GCM has already begun reviewing relevant procedures and regulations, and is actively arranging training sessions for internal staff to ensure compliance with government standards and to prepare for future carbon reduction strategies.

Energy-saving Measures

To achieve its energy-saving goals, GCM has implemented the following measures:

  1. Production Optimization: By streamlining production processes and improving operational efficiency, the company reduces energy consumption and lowers production costs.

  2. Energy-efficient Lighting: Replacement of lighting systems with energy-saving alternatives, such as LED fixtures and timer-controlled lighting, to reduce electricity usage.

  3. Energy Management: Implementation of intelligent energy monitoring and management systems to analyze energy consumption data, detect leaks in real time, and ensure effective energy usage.

  4. Compressed Air Equipment Upgrades: Accelerated replacement of outdated air compressors with energy-efficient variable-frequency drive (VFD) compressors.

  5. Demand Response Bidding: Participation in Taipower’s demand bidding platform to release unused electricity capacity during non-production periods and generate energy-saving profits.

  6. Heat Recovery System Evaluation: Assessing the potential for converting heat generated by factory environmental protection equipment into electricity for internal use.

  7. Energy-saving Awareness: Conducting energy conservation education to raise employee awareness and encourage active participation in energy-saving practices.

  8. Energy Audits: Regular energy audits to assess the company’s energy usage, identify potential energy waste, and develop corresponding improvement measures.
