Energy Conservation & Carbon Reduction

In 2016 TGI continued to promote energy conservation and take action on carbon reduction.
Taiwan Glass mainly relies on electricity, heavy crude oil, natural gas and diesel. Based on corporate
social responsibility and the pursuit of green production and sustainability, our Taichung factory

introduced ISO 50001:2011 (energy management system) and was certified on November 21, 2014
with the certificate from Bureau Veritas Certification Taiwan. The main purpose was to provide a
structure for necessary procedures by establishing energy management principles and methods. The
structure will allow TG to optimize its energy efficiency without affecting current operations while
staying in line with the company’s strategies and objectives. On top of this, the Plan Do-Check-Action
mechanism can continue improving the way TG uses energy. By lowering energy cost and reducing
greenhouse gas emissions, Taiwan Glass will achieve sustainability and be more environment-friendly.

The experience from the Taichung Factory will be replicated at other factories.

Carbon Reduction Commitment from TGI Factories

To achieve reduction of indirect energy consumption through the (ISO 14001)
environmental management system management program. Every year it imple-
Taoyuan ments energy saving measures, mainly including lighting energy consumption
Factory reduction, production process improvement, equipment deprecation or
compressor performance adjustment. Execute energy management in the plant

and voluntarily comply with the government’s greenhouse gas reduction policy.

TAIWANGLASS joined in MOEA’s Voluntary GHG Reduction Program in 2012
and was reviewed and approved by the Green Foundation commissioned by
MOEA. Continue to promote energy conservation and carbon reduction while
encouraging the entire staff to participate energy-saving activities, raising their
energy-saving awareness. Follow the annual energy conservation objectives by
Hsinchu the government and submit the energy conservation action plan to the Bureau of
Factory Energy of MOEA. Replace current equipment with energy-efficient counterparts

to reduce energy consumption. Commission SGS to validate our ISO 14064
greenhouse gas inspection statement. To effectively manage the energy
consumption of this plant, we are planning to implement the ISO 50001 energy
management system. We hope that via systematic audits, we can maximize our
energy efficiency.

As a legal person and natural person of a contract capacity of more than 800
kilowatts, the factory has, according to the Article 9 of Energy Administration
Act, established the objectives of conserving 1% of electricity and 0.421% of oil.

Taichung As the kilns run longer hours, the energy consumption will increase accordingly
Factory every year, which makes it more difficult to reach the objectives. Nonetheless, all
departments at the Taichung Factory still are committed to energy conservation in
80
all areas. In 2016, the Taichung Factory conserved 403,548 kilowatts of electricity
and reduced carbon dioxide emission by 213.07 tons.
