Greenhouse Gas Management

• Greenhouse Gas Inventory Plan  

 
ANPEC cooperates with the national “2050 Net Zero Emissions” policy. In accordance with the regulations of the competent authorities, it has established a greenhouse gas inventory operation plan and selected 2024 as the inventory baseline year. The scope of the inventory covers the Hsinchu headquarters and the Taipei Office in Taiwan. The Company has established procedures for emission data collection and calculation based on greenhouse gas inventory regulations and internationally recognized inventory principles, to continuously refine data quality based on annual inventory results. As the Company is an IC design house without production lines, the primary GHG emissions come from “Scope 2” indirect emissions and “Scope 3” other indirect emissions; “Scope 1” direct emissions are limited, and “Scope 3” other indirect emission categories mainly include employee commuting and business travel. The Company expects to disclose the 2025 inventory results by the end of August 2026 and will continue to establish complete and consistent emission data management procedure. ANPEC will perform rolling reviews of energy-saving and carbon-reduction performance and adjust management strategies based on annual inventory results. It will gradually set phased reduction targets and encourage employees to implement energy-saving measures in daily operations and life to achieve the overall 1% carbon emission reduction target in 2026. In the future, the Company will continue to strengthen its carbon management system, increase the proportion of renewable energy use, and refine inventory processes according to regulatory requirements to enhance transparency and sustainable resilience in carbon management.

 

• Greenhouse Gas Emissions  

 
The Company has initiated greenhouse gas management and completed its 2025 carbon inventory. By identifying major emission sources and collecting activity and emission data, we have successfully kept abreast of the organization’s carbon emissions. We conduct our greenhouse gas inventory in accordance with the ISO 14064-1 standard to improve energy efficiency and are continuously committed to reducing carbon emissions. Based on the 2025 inventory results, the Company’s total greenhouse gas emissions were 3,008.2635 metric tons of CO₂e, including 168.2471 metric tons of CO₂e for Scope 1（direct emissions）, 1,570.0190 metric tons of CO₂e for Scope 2（indirect energy emissions）, and 1,269.9974 metric tons of CO₂e for Scope 3（other indirect emissions）. Compared with 2024, GHG emissions increased due to the installation of additional high-power R&D equipment to support business operations, resulting in the Company’s failure to achieve its 1% emissions reduction target. In addition, the inclusion of additional emission sources in the 2025 Scope 1 and Scope 3 inventories, following external consulting support, also contributed to the increase in reported emissions compared with 2024.
The Company is well aware of its responsibility for environmental impact and will continue to strengthen its carbon management strategy, set specific carbon reduction targets and action plans, and conduct regular reviews and dynamic adjustments to balance operational growth with sustainability responsibilities. At the same time, we call on stakeholders to collectively enhance air quality monitoring and management. The Company did not emit any ozone-depleting substances (ODS) in 2025, and all related monitoring data was in compliance with regulations.

• Scope 3 represents other indirect GHG emissions and includes emissions from employee commuting and business travel.
• Types of greenhouse gas emissions: Carbon dioxide（CO₂）, methane（CH₄）, nitrous oxide（N₂O）.
• Purchased electricity emissions are calculated using the electricity carbon emission factors announced by the Energy Administration, MOEA. The factors applied were 0.474 kgCO₂e/kWh for 2024 and 0.467 kgCO₂e/kWh for 2025, based on the latest announcement issued on June 2, 2026. As a result, the figures differ from those disclosed in the annual report.

   
  

• External Assurance or Verification

The Company to enhance climate governance capabilities and align with international sustainability standards, the Company has voluntarily adopted the ISO 14064-1 greenhouse gas inventory framework. It has established anorganized and systematic greenhouse gas inventory system and set up inventory processes and data management systems based on standard methodologies to ensure the consistency and transparency of greenhouse gas inventory results.
Currently, the Company has completed inventory operations for the 2024 baseline year and 2025. It plans to entrust a credible external institution to conduct assurance on the 2026 inventory results in 2027, thereby strengthening inventory quality and gradually enhancing the reliability and completeness of greenhouse gas management.

 

• Greenhouse Gas Reduction Progress

 

To tangibly reduce the Company’s energy consumption, we continuously monitor water and electricity usage, regularly conduct reviews and improvements to gradually decrease energy consumption, and strengthen the Company’s hardware for environmental energy efficiency. We also conduct internal awareness-raising campaigns to promote energy conservation and sustainable development concepts among our employees.

Electricity consumption increased by 11.44% in 2025 compared with 2024, and the Company did not achieve its 1% electricity reduction target due to the following factors:

• The chilled water supply temperature of the chiller system was maintained at 11°C throughout the year to support laboratory operations, compared with 13°C in summer and 15°C in winter previously.
• Additional R&D equipment was installed to support ongoing R&D activities.
• The expansion of office and laboratory space also increased electricity consumption.

In respect of products and services, our power management ICs are confirmed with customers for their application conditions and meet the required power standards for those conditions.
In addition, we provide customers with customized integrated power management ICs. Besides meeting customers’ power specifications, these ICs can significantly reduce the PCB area required for their applications, thereby reducing material usage and energy consumption.
For example, a four-channel DCDC integrated power management IC is estimated to save over 30% of the required PCB area compared to a solution using discrete power ICs.

The 2025 greenhouse gas emissions (tCO₂e) are as follows:
Scope 1: 168.2471 metric tons of CO₂e.
Scope 2: 1,570.0190 metric tons of CO₂e.
Scope 3: 1,269.9974 metric tons of CO₂e.
Total emissions = Scope 1 + Scope 2 + Scope 3: 3008.2635 metric tons of CO₂e.
