In 2023, the energy consumption within the organization was 1,483,919.99 GJ, and the energy intensity was 0.05 GJ/ thousand of revenue. The primary reason is that the energy consumption of each business operation has increased, along with an increase in revenue, resulting in the energy intensity in 2023 being the same as in 2022.

　　TSC has been dedicated to carbon reduction for years, the GHG emissions were converted from the material input into the environmental accounting system, and are disclosed in this Report.Starting from 2022, TSC has followed the ISO 14064-1 greenhouse gas inventory principles to conduct a company-wide greenhouse gas inventory for the year 2021. (The organizational inventory boundary for the year 2021 did not include the Gangshan Incineration Plant and Kanting Incineration Plant as the contracts for operation by the local government terminated on November 9, 2021, and December 21, 2021, respectively, resulting in the cessation of outsourced operation services.) Provide the disclosure of more accurate emission figures, and the implementation will be conducted annually thereafter. In 2023, the total GHG emissions converted from the input materials in the Company’s accounting system was 128,449.8120 tCO2e, a decrease of 27.12% compared with 2022. The GHG emission intensity is 0.004 tCO2e/NTD 1,000 of revenue, a decrease of 33.33% compared with 2022. The main reason is that the livestock farms decreased the number of pigs due to the renovation, resulting in a reduction in the Company’s overall GHG emissions. The 2023 GHG emissions of the independent inventory will start from 2024, so such data will be disclosed in the subsequent year’s Report.

　　In terms of the verification work of GHG inventory, in addition to the original Xiaogang Factory of Sugar Business Division, the scale was further expanded in 2023. A total of 2022 GHG inventory of 7 sites, including Dong Hai Feng Agriculture Circulation Park of the Livestock Business Division, Wushulin Park of the Agriculture Business Division, Tainan Sales Office of the Marketing Business Division, Xin Jin Station of the Petroleum Business Division, Evergreen Plaza Hotel of the Leisure Business Division, and the Biomaterial Processing Factory of the Biotechnology Business Divion was conducted in accordance with ISO 14064-1:2018 GHG inventory standards, and the verification by a third-party impartial unit was passed, and the GHG verification statement was also obtained.

　　According to the statistics of the environmental accounting system, the GHG emissions of TSC in 2023 (Category 1+ Category 2) was 128,449.8120 tonnes CO2e, and the main carbon emitters are the Livestock Business Division and the Sugar Business Division, whose emissions accounted for 81% of the Company’s total carbon emissions, and therefore, will be prioritized as the targets for carbon reduction and energy conservation improvement. In addition, TSC still uses purchased electricity (from Taiwan Power Company) as the major source of electricity, accounting for 64.98% of the total electricity demands. For the green electricity, approximately 10.11% comes from the cogeneration in Shanhua Sugar factory and Huwei Sugar factory and the biogas power generation of the Livestock Business Division.
