Pathways to Net Zero

The Net Zero journey could be long and challenging but we’re taking all measures to cut and capture our carbon emissions; from decarbonizing electricity, switching to clean fuel, to green product design and waste recycle /reuse becuase we believe that every step we take is continually woven together for good.

Keeping it well below 1.5°C

We are committed to aligning with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and adopting the 1.5°C temperature-rise scenario. In 2025, Sercomm’s science-based targets were validated by SBTi, with 2023 reset as the new base year. By 2030, the Company targets a 42% reduction in Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions and a 25% reduction in Scope 3 emissions, while achieving a 90% renewable energy usage rate and a 90% waste recycling and reuse rate. In parallel, Sercomm is advancing green product design to accelerate its transition toward a low-carbon future.

Water Consumption Statistics Over the Past Four Years

Unit: Megaliters (ML)

Category	2021	2022	2023	2024
Water Withdrawal	235.71	240.85	214.21	184.63
Water Discharge	202.77	207.15	184.75	166.16
Water Consumption	32.94	33.70	29.46	18.46
Water Intensity (Total Water Withdrawal / NT$ million)	0.0054	0.0037	0.0034	0.0033

Notes

1 Megaliter = 1,000 kiloliters (kL)
1 metric ton = 1,000 liters
1 cubic meter (m³) = 1,000 liters; thus, 1 Megaliter = 1,000 m³
In 2024, the water discharge volume for all plants was uniformly calculated based on the method used by the Kuan-Yuan Science and Technology Park, i.e., 90% of the total water withdrawal. Water consumption = Water withdrawal – Water discharge

Total Waste Weight and Intensity over the Past Four Years

Unit: metric tons

Category	2021	2022	2023	2024
Total Hazardous Waste Weight	140.88	207.49	172.48	144.79
Total Non-Hazardous Waste Weight	4,293.93	4,455.51	2,830.16	2,312.79
Total Waste Weight	4,434.81	4,663.00	3,002.64	2,457.58
Intensity (Hazardous Waste)	0.0032	0.0032	0.0028	0.0025
Intensity (Non-Hazardous Waste)	0.0978	0.0690	0.0452	0.0407
Intensity (Total Waste)	0.1010	0.0722	0.0480	0.0433

Notes

The scope of statistics covers the Chunan, Suzhou, and Philippines manufacturing centers.
Intensity = Total weight of the respective category / Revenue (NT$ million).
This statistical table includes restatements of information, primarily to correct the non-hazardous waste data from the Philippines manufacturing center, which affects the calculation of total waste weight and intensity.

The objective and priority of such reductions are set according to the selfinspection results, so that the subsequent reduction process may be more effcient, and the result of such reduction could be verified accordingly.

Our Strategies and our approach

Green Products

Sercomm’s green product design is required to not only comply with power saving design and various regulations banning and restricting substances harmful to the environment, but also follow the “3R” (Reduce, Recycle and Reuse) principles of Waste of Electronic and Electrical Equipment (WEEE) implemented by the European Union.

Renewable Energy

To achieve net zero emission it is vital to have a well drawn renewable electricity plan and Sercomm has introduced the ISO50001 Energy managementy system in all our gobal sites. More efforts includes deploying Solar photovoltaics (PV) system, bringing in EV fleet, modifying the existing equipmetns to reduce energy consumptions.

Green Procurement

We work closely with all suppliers to ensures the exclusion of components containing banned or restricted chemical materials and link to component approval process. Sercomm also demands all suppliers to sign the “Product Quality Guarantee Agreement” wherein the content clearly states Sercomm’s requirements and regulations of green products.

SBTi & CDP

In terms of global environmental initiatives and actions, Sercomm has participated in the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) since 2014, continuously disclosing greenhouse gas emissions and climate-related risk information to enhance transparency and reduce operational risks and costs. In 2024, the Company participated in the CDP Climate Change and Water Security assessments, receiving ratings of B and B-, respectively, demonstrating its internationally recognized sustainability performance.

Recycle,Reuse,Reduce

To reduce impacts of wastes on the environment, the products of Sercomm are designed with the concept of easy disassembly and easy recycling so that consumers can easily dispose of when replacing products. Sercomm has successively signed contracts with local recycling companies in the countries where its products are sold to assist in recycling consumer product waste

Value Chain Emissions

The urgency of expanding and disclosing the carbon emissions from our value chain, also known as the GHG scope 3, is imminent as it accounts for the majority of our total emissions. Leveraging the software tool and our LCA consultant team, we aim to dislcose no less than 80% of our value chain emissions by 2030.
