Energy and Greenhouse Gas Management
Greenhouse Gas Inventory Plan SEEC is a listed company with a paid-in capital of more than NTD 5 billion but less than NTD 10 billion. According to the Financial Supervisory Commission's "Sustainable Development Roadmap for Listed Companies", it needs to comply with laws and regulations to complete greenhouse gas inventories and inspections within the standard timetable. And verification operations and implementation details are reported to the board of directors for control on a quarterly basis. The currently planned inventory and verification planning schedule for individual companies and consolidated reporting subsidiaries is detailed in the table below.

Energy Use
The primary energy sources used by our company include diesel, gasoline, liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), and electricity. Purchased electricity comes from Taiwan Power Company. In 2023, solar power installations were set up to gradually increase the proportion of renewable energy used in our facilities. In 2023, SEEC's total energy consumption was 181,579.95 GJ, with renewable energy usage approximately 930.31 GJ. The intensity of non-renewable energy was 7.11 GJ per million NT dollars, a reduction of 0.42% compared to 2022.
Energy usage in the Past Three Years
Emission of Greenhouse Gases
The company's greenhouse gas emission results are as follows. The total emissions in 2023 are 22,640 tons CO2e, and the greenhouse gas emission intensity is 0.8870 tons CO2e/million dollar. In order to strengthen the company's greenhouse gas management, the company will conduct a greenhouse gas inventory in 2023 in accordance with the ISO 14064-1 standard. Using 2022 as the base year, the company will further set the company's carbon reduction goals in the future.

Energy Saving Measures and Performance
In 2023, energy-saving improvements in each plant area are estimated to reduce a total of 489 tons of CO2e/year (51 tons of Automobile Equipment plant, 91 tons of Xinfeng plant, and 347 tons of Heavy Electric plant), which is approximately 3,556.4GJ. Improvement measures include:
In addition, in 2023, the additional solar power generation equipment installed in the factory will complete parallel power generation in the second half of the year (spontaneous self-use and application for a green power certificate issued by the TRC Green Energy Certificate Center), reducing a total of 127.9 tons of CO2e, approximately 930.3GJ.

Raw Materials Usage
The sources of raw materials used by the company's four major business groups are not only purchased directly, but also outsourcing, and purchase & supply of parts. The main bulk raw materials are iron,copper, silver, aluminum, silicon steel, plastics, insulating oil, etc., all are non-renewable raw materials, and the usage in 2023 is as follows.
Main Raw Material Usage in 2023
In order to respond to environmental protection and reduce carbon emissions at each stage of the product life cycle, the company continues to promote more friendly behaviors. In terms of the use of recycled materials, the Automobile Equipment Business Group mostly used technologies and materials such as bakelite, powder coating, and plastic injection in the early stage. The technical requirements for recycling, dismantling and reuse are high, so it is very difficult to reuse; Nowadays, we use recyclable plastics and carry out a modular design that can be directly disassembled between different materials, increasing the reuse of recycled materials, lowering the threshold of recycling technology, and greatly reducing environmental pollution. The Automobile Equipment Business Group will add 30~40% recycled materials according to the size of the work piece in the production of aluminum die castings, and add about 10% recycled materials in the production of plastic parts to reduce environmental pollution.
In order to increase the proportion of resource recycling, the Breaker & Switchgear Business Group sorts and collects the scraps of brass and red copper produced during the manufacturing process, and then delivers them to manufacturers for reuse to avoid mixing in other substances. In 2023, a total of 58.8 tons of copper scraps will be provided and sold to manufacturers for reprocessing, which is in line with the reuse in the circular economy and the 5R approach to sustainable material management (redesign, reuse, reduce, recycle and energy recovery).
In addition, in the product design process, recyclable environmentally friendly packaging materials are also considered for consumables and packaging, including wood, paper, iron boxes, etc., among which wood and paper are renewable raw materials and are shipped from suppliers when delivered. , also encourages the use of sustainable recycled plastic boxes for packaging, and the reuse of pallets during transportation and loading, in line with the company's mission of energy conservation and environmental protection.
