Climate Change Policy

TGI tries to understand the environmental ethics and has a sense of responsibility for climate
change. It adopts policies of positive development and actively participates in carbon reduction programs
as a response to climate change. TGI§s Factories (Taoyuan, Hsinchu, Taichung, Lukang, Lukang Flat
Glass, and Changpin Factories) are located in industrial zones and conform to the environmental impact
assessment for industrial areas instead of being located in any ecological conservation zones or protected
habitats. In terms of biodiversity, the company§s activities, products, and services have no significant
impact on conservation areas or other areas important to biodiversity. Since the factories opened there

have never been any petitions about their effect on the ecology.
Response
to water All factories have implemented water conservation
shortage projects.

Recycle The use of crushed glass theory for the heat of fusion only
crushed requires about 50% of raw materials, which can effectively
glass save energy and reduce the GHG emissions.

Energy-
saving We continue to develop and manufacture Low-E glass
products and vacuum insulated glass.

Green Taiwan Glass conducts priority procurement of energy-
procurement saving products.
