Climate Change Related Objectives
  1. Carbon reduction:In 2023, the Parent Company's carbon emissions were 1,467.36 metric tons of CO2e, and it is still in the process of implementing ISO 14064-1 greenhouse gas inventory.
    • (1)The Parent Company will conduct its official inventory in 2024. In 2025, it will undergo on-site audit verification by the Taiwan branch of the British Standards Institution (BSI) and disclose emission information for 2024, which will serve as the baseline year for Weikeng (Parent Company) greenhouse gas emissions.
    • (2)Subsidiaries within the Group will conduct their official inventory in 2025. In 2026, they will undergo on-site audit verification by the Taiwan branch of the British Standards Institution (BSI) and disclose emission information for 2025, which will serve as the baseline year for Weikeng Group greenhouse gas emissions.
  2. Water saving:The annual water intake was reduced by 1~2% from the previous year.
  3. Reducing the proportion of waste/recycled material usage:The Company attaches great importance to waste management, and requires the administration unit reviews the waste disposal status and output of each business location. In the event of an abnormal amount of waste, each unit is requested to propose cause analysis, review and improvement. We aim to achieve the goal of reducing the weight of waste by 1~2% every year.
  4. Green product R&D expenditure:Weikeng has invested in R&D resources for a long time, and is able to provide timely technical support in the relevant application fields of the IC components of its franchise, developing product solutions to meet the future application needs of customers. This is the demand creation capability emphasized by Weikeng, as it is central to Weikeng's competitiveness. As the semiconductor industry chain adapts to sustainable development and climate change issues, it may bring green product business opportunities. Weikeng will actively cooperate with upstream original vendors in technology development and continue to invest in technology R&D resources and capabilities in the IC application market for green products, in order to promote green product solutions to downstream customers in a timely manner, and make Weikeng an indispensable member of the green value chain in the semiconductor industry. Weikeng's total R&D expenditure (mainly including the salaries of R&D personnel, software and hardware equipment) reached NT$135,112 thousand in 2023, of which related green product R&D expenditures account for 21.85% of the total R&D expenditures, which is in line with the target value of at least 20%.
