Environmental Sustainability - Practitioner of Resource Cycle and Environmental Sustainability
Under the goal of net zero emission by 2050, ECOVE has been committed to green investment and operation services in resource recycling and renewable energy. With a circular economy mindset and an environmentally friendly perspective, ECOVE has been actively cooperating with the government's policies on net zero carbon emission and the environment to provide low-pollution, low-emission, and high-energy-eciency resource recycling and renewable energy, with a view to achieving a win-win situation for ECOVE, its partners, stakeholders, and the environment, and to do its utmost to safeguard the sustainability of the ecosystem and biodiversity. In 2025, ECOVE continued to capitalize on the opportunities arising from the climate transition, with steady expansion of its Energy and Resources Center operations. For the full year, waste incineration volume reached 2,880,577 metric tons, waste-to-energy power generation totaled 1,651,091 MWh, and environmental carbon reduction benefits amounted to 806,600 metric tons CO2e. Anaerobic food waste treatment volume reached 19,903 metric tons, generating 2,193.8 MWh of electricity and delivering carbon reduction benefits of 1,039.9 metric tons CO2e. During the African Swine Fever outbreak in October 2025, ECOVE actively cooperated with government disease prevention eorts, assisting in the incineration of 324.1 metric tons of pig carcasses and increasing food waste processing by 21,300 metric tons. After ECOVE's team took over the Taitung Energy and Resources Center, annual furnace downtime was reduced by more than 30% and daily processing capacity increased by 20%, demonstrating operational resilience and public service capacity and helping to safeguard the critical front lines of disease prevention and environmental governance. In recycling and reuse, ECOVE assisted the high-tech industry in establishing and commercially operating a Resource Regeneration Center within the science park, helping operators implement the circular economy through an integrated "waste-to-energy, waste-to resource" model. ECOVE SRC's IPA reuse products also obtained Green Product Certification from the Industrial Development Administration, Ministry of Economic Affairs, with full-year solvent waste processing reaching 14,502 metric tons and reuse product output reaching 4,118 metric tons. Reclaimed water production reached 23.34 million metric tons, equivalent to one day's water consumption for 80.794 million people, with total wastewater treatment across Taiwan of approximately 27.85 million metric tons. Plans for waste water reclamation plant expansion are also underway to enhance water supply resilience and water resource effciency. In solar power, the Xizhou solar power self-generation and self-consumption project was completed in July 2025 and can produce 300 green electricity certificates per year. Full-year generation across all sites reached 121.106 million kWh, with annual carbon reduction benefits of approximately 57,000 metric tons. Power wheeling service volume reached 17.143 million kWh, supporting industry carbon reduction benefits of approximately 8,000 metric tons. In the same year, ECOVE completed revisions to its internal carbon pricing mechanism, raising the internal carbon fee to US$100 per metric ton and linking it to the KPIs of management and project leads to reinforce decarbonization accountability. The Gangshan incineration plant also collaborated with the plant owner to successfully register a voluntary emission reduction project, with a 10-year carbon reduction quota of 3,800 metric tons CO2e. The above carbon reduction and governance initiatives received external recognition. ECOVE was recognized in CommonWealth Magazine's 1.5 °C Corporate Survey and received a B rating on the CDP Climate Change Questionnaire. Going forward, the Company will continue to focus on the circular economy as it advances low-carbon technologies and operational management, expanding resource circulation and carbon reduction benefits.
