In order to effectively implement energy conservation and carbon reduction policies and to continue to promote energy conservation movement. In 2020, the results in electricity and energy saving (including fixed and mobile sources) in all units were converted to a total of 20,033.54MJ, reducing approximately 1,735 tonnes of CO2e.

- Greenhouse Gas Inventory
In 2020, the overall GHG emission was 466,910 tonnes of CO2e, a 21.67% decrease compared with 2019. The GHG emission intensity was 0.018 tonnes of CO2e/NTD thousand of revenue, 21.74% lower than 2019. The main reason for the reduction was mainly because the operations of the Gangshan and Kanting Incineration Plants became stable, reducing the consumption of fuel oil and purchased electricity, and the GHG emissions also decreased, leading to the reduced intensity of GHG emission. The total GHG emission amount and emission intensity of TSC and its affiliations is shown below.
- Green Meetings
TSC continues to promote the use of video conference to replace physical meetings not only to reduce time and cost for longdistance travel and to increase work efficiency, but also to achieve the benefits of energy conservation and carbon reduction. Based on the assumption of “one person/ per business division”, there were a total of 465 video conferences held in 2020, and the calculated traveling distance saved (round-trip) was 446,420 km; in addition, according to the EPA’s carbon footprint calculation service platform, the carbon footprint coefficient of a small passenger car (petrol) was 0.115 KgCO2e/passenger-kilometer (the GHG emission generated from the small passenger cars used for carrying passengers, including emissions from the fuel production, distribution and vehicle consumption) was reduced by 51,338 KgCO2e.
