Elevating our carbon reduction standards in response to the worldwide trend of energy conservation and emission reduction.
WT has been conducting a voluntary GHG inventory since 2018. In 2024, the group completed a comprehensive GHG inventory covering all operational sites of its subsidiaries under the consolidated financial statements, achieving 100% inventory coverage. Third-party verification was also conducted for all operating locations of WT’s individual company and its Taiwan subsidiaries included in the consolidated statements, with a 6% verification coverage. We aims to achieve 100% external verification by 2027 at the latest.
Localization of general affairs procurement: 99.4% local sourcing achieved in 2024
Considering customer needs and its role as an agent for globally renowned IC technology manufacturers (referred to as original suppliers), WT’s local procurement management primarily focuses on general affairs procurement items not related to agency products. In 2024, WT’s Taiwan headquarters achieved a 99.4% local sourcing rate from domestic suppliers. This statistic covers procurement expenses across administrative and general affairs, IT equipment, and logistics center purchases.

Note：The 2024 data accounts only for general affairs procurement at WT’s Taiwan headquarters. The local suppliers in Taiwan refers to companies legally registered in Taiwan. As WT has not yet established a data collection mechanism for overseas sites, efforts are currently underway to develop an information integration and consolidation system. We plans to disclose local procurement data for other operational locations as the system is implemented.
Prioritizing green procurement: NT$24.76 million in 2024
In our general affairs procurement, WT adheres to a policy of giving priority to green-labeled products. We have participated in the New Taipei City Environmental Protection Department’s initiative to promote green procurement among private enterprises, and have received the Green Consumption Outstanding Enterprise award for five consecutive years.
In 2024, the total amount declared for green procurement in Taiwan reached NT$14.28 million. In China and other overseas regions, we procured eco-labeled laptops and servers totaling NT$10.48 million. Moving forward, WT will continue to prioritize the selection of recyclable, low-pollution, and resource-efficient green products, reinforcing our commitment to sustainable consumption.
Environmental management spending has been increased over the years
WT has been voluntarily developing GHG inventory for many years. In addition to third party verification, the inventory has been extended to include more operating sites over the years for a more comprehensive scope and a more reliable dataset. Additional environmental management training sessions are also conducted to enhance everyone’s sustainability awareness. In 2024, the Taiwan headquarters spent NT$4.02 million on related management systems, training and activities. See below for courses held in 2024.

WT remains committed to environmental initiatives within our communities, including urban greening, ecological preservation, resource recycling, and the circular use of second-hand goods. In 2024, we adopted several beaches along Shimen Baishawan, Laomei Green Reef, Kite Park Beach, and Zhongjiao Sa-Chung Wan of the North Coast of New Taipei City, organizing monthly cleanup events and encouraging employee participation.
These cleanups served not only as environmental actions but also as educational opportunities, fostering engagement and raising awareness about waste management. Through active involvement, employees were reminded of the importance of proper waste sorting and refraining from littering in both workplace and domestic settings.
A particularly impactful experience occurred following a typhoon, when beaches were strewn with driftwood, styrofoam, large-scale marine debris, and the remains of marine life entangled in waste. These scenes powerfully illustrated the widespread harm of pollution, not only to human environments but also to the ecosystems on which other species depend.
The primary purpose of our beach cleanup initiative extends beyond the physical act of collecting trash. It aims to instill a deeper understanding of resource circularity, the urgency of reducing waste at the source, and the shared responsibility we bear in protecting our environment.
Over the course of the year, 284 participants contributed to the cleanup efforts, collectively removing 1,348.9 kilograms of marine debris.
