Energy Consumption and Conservation

GHG Inventory

With the issue of global warming becoming more and more severe, Qisda has established a GHG inventory for global manufacturing sites with reference to the requirements of the GHG emission at the organization level (ISO 14064-1) and the GHG Protocol since 2007. GHG inventories and third-party verifications have been conducted annually. Qisda conducted third-party verification according to the ISO 14064-1:2018 standard for the GHG inventory data of all factories around the globe in 2024.

Plans to Reduce GHG Emissions

In order to reduce the impact of energy consumption on global warming, Qisda has developed GHG reduction-related measures. Based on the GHG reduction plan, we improve in both of the management aspects to implement energy saving:

Qisda Energy Management Policy

Qisda is committed to the implementation and promotion of energy management practices and principles. Qisda has established an energy management policy to fulfill its corporate social responsibility commitments. This policy emphasizes improving energy efficiency and reducing greenhouse gas emissions, requiring all plants and offices to implement effective energy management.
Qisda continuously monitors energy targets and management performance to achieve environmental sustainability. Qisda joined the RE100 initiative in 2022 and pledges to use 100% renewable energy by 2040. Qisda promotes ISO 50001 (Energy Management Systems) at the three manufacturing sites in Taiwan, Suzhou, China (Electronics and telecommunications equipment plants) and Vietnam. The Company uses energy audits to better understand the use of energy within the scope of its business, identifying energy-intensive equipment and processes, and investing resources into its improvement. Additionally, the Company establishes energy management and energy saving goals, and conducts an energy review on a quarterly basis to monitor and improve their energy performance.
Replacement of old energy-consuming equipment and use of energy-saving equipment takes priority in our energy-saving measures. Smart electric meters are introduced in the plant to analyze the power consumption status of production lines and processes to find out the best control solutions. Energy consumption is monitored daily, and production plans are adjusted accordingly. It is expected to save energy by 9,698 MWh and reduce carbon emissions by 5,578 tCO2e.
Through the implementation of ISO 50001 (Energy Management System), the aim is to enhance employees’ understanding of and engagement in energy management, ensuring the effective operation of the Energy Management System (EnMS) within the organization. The training covers topics such as energy policies, objectives, energy-saving measures, actions to address energy risks, and individual roles, with an emphasis on continuous improvement and performance monitoring. By providing training, the company seeks to raise awareness of energy conservation, promote the adoption of best practices, reduce energy consumption and costs, comply with ISO 50001 requirements, and achieve corporate sustainability goals.

Energy Consumption and Conservation Energy Consumption

The energy consumption within the Qisda Group includes electricity used in offices and factories and fuels (natural gas, gasoline and diesel fuel). According to the ISO 14064-1:2018 inventory, the electricity used in offices and factories is the main source of energy consumption. A solar power system has been built in the plants in Taiwan and Suzhou, for self-consumption. Energy storage equipment has been installed to facilitate both load shifting and peak shaving.
In 2024, Suzhou Plant expanded its second phase of the solar power system to continuously reduce the use of gray electricity and increase the percentage of renewable energy. In 2024, the in-plant solar power system generated about 4.85 million kWh, accounting for 4.1% of Qisda’s overall electricity consumption. The Company purchased approximately 39,064 MWh of renewable energy certificates for the plants in China and Vietnam, accounting for 32.7% of Qisda’s overall electricity consumption. The proportion of renewable energy was 36.7%. The energy intensity in 2024 was 41,179.74 kWh per million USD production value.
