In 2023, Chenbro's HQ, Chiayi factory(CTC), Chen-Feng Precision (CTW) and Chenbro Technology (CSH) all obtained ISO 14064-1 verification.

Greenhouse Gas Management

In 2023, Chenbro conducted an organizational greenhouse gas inventory that included the Taipei headquarters, Chiayi plant, Qinkun plant in China, Qiansheng plant, Qinfeng plant, and the U.S. plant. The inventory covered Scope 1 (direct greenhouse gas emissions) and Scope 2 (energy indirect greenhouse gas emissions). Scope 3 (other indirect emissions) was not included in the 2023 inventory due to the difficulty in obtaining information and because these emissions are not within the organization's control. The total greenhouse gas emissions for the group significantly decreased in 2023, with an emissions intensity of 0.80. Due to the addition of new plant locations in the 2023 reporting boundary, the baseline year has been reset to 2023, with a target set to reduce emissions intensity by 24% by 2030.

Chenbro's energy intensity is expressed as total energy usage divided by annual revenue. In 2023, the energy intensity was 5.67. Both the total energy usage and energy intensity from the inventory have shown a decreasing trend year by year.

Chenbro is committed to creating an environmentally friendly office space, advancing business performance in a climate-friendly and cost-effective manner, and gradually implementing this approach in every business operation.

Annual plans include:

1. Replacing high-energy-consuming equipment and introducing automation processes in factories to improve efficiency and reduce energy consumption.
2. Implementing air conditioning temperature and time controls in offices, turning off lights during lunch breaks, and practicing energy conservation.
3. Purchasing eco-friendly LED lighting with environmental certifications, energy-saving variable-frequency air conditioners, and utilizing solar power.
4. Designing the Chiayi plant with a 9-meter-high interior and low-radiation glass to reduce air conditioning use and establish an energy-efficient cooling framework.
5. Implementing an ice storage system at the Chiayi plant to store cooling energy during off-peak hours and use it during peak load periods. This approach reduces electricity waste during off-peak times, lowers peak load demands, extends the lifespan of machinery, reduces total contracted capacity, and saves on electricity costs.

In response to the group's environmentally friendly strategies, the factories use water-saving sanitary fixtures with water conservation certifications and set reasonable water pressure for the tap water system, as well as install water resource recycling facilities. The Chiayi factory has set up an ecological retention pond and water channels (with a storage capacity of 111.36 m³), effectively increasing land water retention and temporarily holding floodwaters during rainfall. The building is equipped with a rainwater recycling system (with a capacity of 1060 m³) that collects rainwater from the roof and directs it into the infrastructure, treating it for use in irrigation. This system is also paired with rainwater sensors to conserve irrigation water, thereby reducing the group's water consumption and enhancing water resource management.

In 2023, Chenbro's total water intake was 141.96 million liters. Water intensity, calculated by dividing total water intake by annual revenue, was 0.012 for 2023.

Product Environmental Friendliness Strategy

Chenbro ensures that all products comply with international regulations, safety standards, and environmental specifications, such as RoHS. The company actively meets customer requirements for environmental standards and fulfills its green product management responsibilities.

In research and development, Chenbro uses environmentally friendly, recyclable materials. In addition to adhering to the environmental 3R principles of Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle, Chenbro is advancing toward circular economy goals. The company actively seeks "Cradle to Cradle" (C2C) certification for its products.

Chenbro designs products with high recognition, ease of operation, tool-free assembly, and quick disassembly as design principles. The modular product design ensures high compatibility and flexible expansion capabilities, which simplifies the manufacturing process and increases modular reusability, achieving environmental benefits.

An environmental production and manufacturing management system has been established to specify the procedures for environmental management, control waste and resource use during the manufacturing process, and reduce the environmental impact of product production.
