Statistics of Energy and Carbon Emission

　　In 2024, Taiwan Sugar Corporation's electricity consumption was still mainly purchased electricity (Taipower), accounting for 69.06% of the total electricity demand. The annual GHG emissions (Category 1 + Category 2) reached 139,512.8849 metric tonnes of CO2e. The main carbon emitters are the Livestock and Sugar Business Divisions, which together accounted for approximately 81.22% of the company's total emissions. They have been listed as priority improvement targets for carbon reduction and energy conservation.

Statistics of Energy Consumption

　　In 2024, the internal energy consumption of Taiwan Sugar Corporation was 1,509,981.86 GJ, and the total energy consumption intensity was 0.0480 GJ/NTD thousand of revenue. This is mainly due to a slight increase in energy consumption in various business operations and a simultaneous increase in revenue, leading to a slight decrease in the total energy consumption intensity compared to 2023.

Note:

1.Primary energy includes gasoline, diesel, heavy oil, natural gas (NG), liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), coal.

2.Secondary energy is purchased electricity.

3.Renewable energy is biogas power generation.

4.Agricultural waste-to-energy refers to biomass power generation from bagasse cogeneration.

Greenhouse Gas Inventory

　　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. Provide the disclosure of more accurate emission figures, and the implementation will be conducted annually thereafter. In 2024, the total GHG emissions was 139,512.8849 tCO2e, a decrease of 3.08% compared with 2023. The GHG emission intensity is 0.0044 tCO2e/NTD 1,000 of revenue, a decrease of 8.33% compared with 2023. The main reason is that the pig farms decreased the number of pigs due to the renovation, resulting in a reduction in the Company’s overall GHG emissions.

　　In terms of the verification of GHG inventory, in addition to the originally planned Xiaogang Plant of the Sugar Business Division, in 2024, the Jianshanpi Resort of the Leisure Business Division also conducted a 2024 GHG guidance inventory in accordance with the Ministry of Environment's "Greenhouse Gas Emissions Inventory Operation Guidelines (2024 Edition)", and obtained a greenhouse gas verification statement through verification by a third-party impartial unit.

Note:

1.This chart is based on the inventory standards for voluntary inventory of GHG emissions, with the inventory scope covering the General Management Office, 7 Business Divisions, 6 Operation Branches, TSRI, and Kaohsiung Branch.

2.In 2022, the Company’s verified greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions inventory covered the following seven sites: Xiaogang Plant of the Sugar Business Division, Dong Hai Feng Agricultural Circulation Park of the Livestock Business Division, Wushulin Park of the Precision Agriculture Business Division, Tainan Sales Office of the Marketing and Distribution Business Division, Xinjin Gas Station of the Petroleum Business Division, Evergreen Hotel (Taisugar) of the Leisure Business Division, and the Biomaterial Factory of the Biotech Business Division.

3.In 2023, the Company’s verified greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions inventory covered two sites: Xiaogang Plant of the Sugar Business Division and Jianshanpi Resort of the Leisure Business Division.

4.The data in this chart are compiled based on Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions.
