Biodiversity
Policy and Commitment
In 2025, Sercomm revised its Sustainable Development Best Practice Principles to include provisions aimed at reducing the impacts of its operations on biodiversity. The Company is gradually strengthening practices related to the conservation of marine and terrestrial ecosystems, the sustainable use of resources, and the fair and equitable sharing of benefits arising from the use of genetic resources.
Management and Implementation
Sercomm's major operating activities do not involve highly polluting or ecologically sensitive processes, and their direct impacts on biodiversity and ecosystems are relatively limited. The Company has conducted a preliminary review of the environmental characteristics surrounding its operating sites and potential ecologically sensitive areas. It also reduces indirect impacts on the natural environment through GHG emissions reduction, improved energy efficiency, renewable energy use, waste reduction and recycling, resource efficiency, and green product design.
Future Direction
Sercomm will continue to monitor international biodiversity developments, gradually strengthen the identification and assessment of nature-related risks and opportunities, and evaluate the adoption of the Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD) framework and related disclosure requirements to enhance its management capabilities and transparency regarding nature-related issues.
Green Innovation and R&D
Sercomm integrates green design into its product development process based on the principles of Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, and Usage. These efforts encompass energy efficiency, material reduction, recycled materials, design for disassembly and recycling, and control of environmentally hazardous substances to reduce environmental impacts throughout the product life cycle. Sercomm also continues to invest in networking technologies and product development, integrating green design, innovation tools, and patent deployment to strengthen the low-carbon competitiveness of its products.
2025 Highlights

GHG Inventory and Assurance Status for the Most Recent Two Years
Since 2014, Sercomm has calculated GHG emissions by setting organizational boundaries based on the operational control approach and by referencing ISO 14064-1 and The Greenhouse Gas Protocol.
The inventory covers Taiwan, Mainland China, and the Philippines. Emissions from Taipei Headquarters have been included since 2023.

- 1 megaliter = 1,000 kiloliters.
- For water, 1 metric ton = 1,000 liters.
- 1 cubic meter (m³) = 1,000 liters; therefore, 1 megaliter = 1,000 cubic meters (1,000 m³).
- For Taiwan sites, water discharge is estimated at 90% of water withdrawal with reference to the Guangyuan Technology Park. For sites in Mainland China and the Philippines, water discharge is estimated at 80% of water withdrawal in accordance with their environmental impact assessment reports. Following this methodological adjustment, the 2022–2024 data have been retrospectively restated to improve consistency and comparability across reporting years.
- Water consumption = water withdrawal – water discharge.
- Water intensity = total water withdrawal (megaliters) / revenue (NT$ million).
