Note: The consolidated revenue was NT$ 92.97 billion in 2022 and NT$126.39 billion in 2023, and NT$159.11 billion in 2024.
Energy-Saving Achievements
| Energy Management Plan | Amount of energy consumption saved |
|---|---|
| Continue enforcing energy-saving measures by turning off office lights during lunch breaks, having security personnel patrol to switch off lights at night and on holidays, and requiring applications for air conditioning use during these times to reduce electricity consumption. | Compared to 2023, electricity consumption decreased by 12,273 kWh, representing a 0.58% reduction for the year, equivalent to a decrease of 44.18 GJ. |
| Perform regular annual, quarterly, and monthly maintenance on air conditioning equipment, such as chillers, chilled water air handlers, and total heat exchangers, to lower failure rates and enhance operational efficiency. Additionally, a fixed budget is allocated each year to replace air conditioning units that have high failure rates and poor performance. | |
| By implementing energy-saving management, half of the parking spaces in B2 and B3, as well as half of the stairwells throughout the area, are equipped with motion-sensor lighting, resulting in a 50% reduction in electricity consumption for lighting. |
Water Resources Usage

| Water intake (in millions of liters) | 19.88 | 21.9 | 15.47 |
| Water discharge (in millions of liters) | 19.88 | 21.9 | 15.47 |
| Water consumption (in millions of liters) | 0 | 0 | 0 |
Note: Our company only uses household water for commercial office buildings. Therefore, the amount of water drawn is equal to the amount discharged, resulting in no water consumption.
