Raising carbon reduction standards in response to global energy conservation and carbon reduction trends
WT has been conducting voluntary GHG inventories since 2018. In 2024, the Company completed GHG inventories across all operating sites of every subsidiary under the consolidated financial statements (inventory coverage rate of 100%). Starting in 2025, the Company officially adopted the GHG Protocol Corporate Standard jointly published by the World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD) and the World Resources Institute (WRI) for its inventories, and expanded the verification scope to the parent company and all subsidiaries within the consolidated financial statements (verification coverage rate of 100%).
Implementing local procurement and partnering with local partners to co-create sustainability
As WT distributes products from globally renowned IC manufacturers, its core business is highly globalized in nature. Therefore, the management indicator for “local procurement” focuses on non-distribution general affairs procurement, covering administrative supplies, IT equipment, and logistics center purchases.
To put its sustainable supply chain commitment into practice, WT Group continues to promote localized procurement at its major operating sites. Local procurement statistics for key operating sites (Taiwan, China, and the Americas) in 2025 show that the local procurement ratio was 99.67% in Taiwan, 99.99% in China, and 61.35% in the Americas. Going forward, the Company will continue to support economic development in its operating locations through localized procurement while reducing cross-border transportation carbon emissions and implementing green supply chain management.
Note: Local procurement refers to cases where the supplier’s registered company location and the operating site where the procurement takes place are in the same country or region. The 2025 statistics cover general affairs procurement amounts at the Group’s key operating sites (Taiwan, China, and the Americas).
Deepening green procurement strategy — six consecutive years of outstanding enterprise recognition with significant performance improvement
The Group has long upheld the philosophy of “green consumption,” designating products with eco-labels as the top priority for general affairs procurement. In terms of external recognition, the Company actively participates in the green procurement program for private enterprises organized by the Environmental Protection Department, New Taipei City Government, and has earned the “Green Consumption and Environmental Volunteer Outstanding Enterprise” recognition under the “Program for Promoting Green Procurement among Private Enterprises and Organizations” for six consecutive years, demonstrating our perseverance and commitment to environmental sustainability actions.
In terms of concrete performance, the total green procurement amount in 2025 increased significantly compared to the previous year (the statistical scope does not yet include Future Electronics), with the overall annual green procurement total reaching NTD 65.3 million, an increase of approximately 164% over the previous year. Among this, the declared amount for the Taiwan region was NTD 50.99 million (a year-over-year increase of 257%). China and overseas locations also responded in parallel, prioritizing ecolabeled models for laptop and server procurement, with a combined procurement amount of NTD 14.31 million (a year-over-year increase of 36%).
The Group will continue to expand the scope of green procurement, rigorously selecting eco-friendly products with recyclable, low pollution, and resource-saving characteristics, driving green transformation on the market supply side through actual purchasing choices and fulfilling the Company’s concrete commitment to environmental protection.
Environmental management spending has been increased over the years
WT has been conducting GHG inventories for many years. In addition to undergoing third-party verification annually, the Company has progressively expanded the scope of operating sites covered by the inventory each year, aiming to achieve complete coverage of all operating sites and enhance the credibility of inventory data. Environmental management courses have also been expanded to instill environmental sustainability awareness among all employees. The courses offered in 2025 are listed in the table below.
The Taiwan headquarters invested approximately NTD 3.72 million in environmental management systems, education and training, and related activities.

Partnering with value chain partners to expand beach cleanups and protect the ocean
To fulfill its commitment to ecological conservation and community environmental greening, the Group continued to adopt important coastlines along the North Coast of New Taipei City in 2025, covering Baishawan in Shimen District, the Linshan Cape area (including the fishing port and trails), and Zhongjiao Shazhu Bay in Jinshan District. A total of approximately NTD 800,000 was invested throughout the year in beach adoption maintenance and environmental conservation, converting corporate resources into tangible environmental stewardship through regular beach cleanup activities. Unlike previous efforts involving only internal employees, we actively responded to the New Taipei City Government’s call and extended our impact to external stakeholders. In addition to employees and their families, suppliers, customers, and local residents of Jinshan District were broadly invited to participate, upgrading the beach cleanups into a charitable event connecting the industry chain and the community.
The cumulative number of participants in 2025 was 853 person-times. Through the hands-on process of bending down to pick up marine debris, we hope that every participant gains a deep appreciation for the importance of source reduction and resource circularity, extending ocean conservation awareness from individuals to business partners and families, jointly contributing to a sustainable environment.



Group net-zero social impact assessment
The Group will continue to conduct social impact assessments of its net-zero transition plans, covering employees, communities, and value chain partners. As the Group operates in the electronic components distribution industry and is not involved in product manufacturing or processing, the primary net-zero transition initiatives consist of energy structure adjustments (purchasing green electricity, installing solar energy systems, etc.) and energy efficiency optimization, and do not involve large-scale production line closures, layoffs, or structural economic changes. The assessment has identified no significant social risks associated with the transition. Going forward, we will continue to monitor changes in employee skill requirements during the transition process and implement environmental sustainability-related education and training for employees to ensure they possess the knowledge and capabilities needed for the sustainability transition.
