As logistics operations is its most important operational activity besides integrated product sales and services, WT implements the low-carbon internal logistics operation strategy through four major logistics operation improvements. In addition, with regard to the transportation carbon reduction emissions strategy, it has also begun to evaluate the feasibility of green transportation.

Updating warehouse equipment to improve energy efficiency
As 3C products must be stored in a constant temperature and humidity environment to maintain their quality and performance, a 3C product warehouse must be equipped with appliances such as air conditioners, dehumidifiers, etc. WT continues to introduce and connect intelligent temperature and humidity monitors to AC controllers to reduce energy consumption.
In May 2021, the Hong Kong Logistics Center was relocated and opted for a chiller plant instead of air conditioners in the new facilities. As of 2025, its electricity consumption was reduced by 15.9% relative to 2021. However, consumption increased by 8.6% relative to 2024, primarily driven by approximately 3% growth in order volume and a roughly 10% increase in inbound freight, both of which extended warehouse operating hours. In May 2023, the Singapore Logistics Center adopted the concept of dark warehouse and automated the operations. Lighting is no longer required, as human input is normally not required in the storage area. However, with growing order volumes at the Singapore warehouse in 2025, overall electricity consumption rose by approximately 12% compared to 2024, while order volume increased by approximately 25% over the same period — reflecting improved energy efficiency per unit of output.
In line with our continued focus on smart operations and energy management, the Hong Kong warehouse is scheduled to officially deploy automated warehousing equipment in Q2 2026, progressively building toward a fully unmanned warehouse environment. Through enhanced operational efficiency and more effective energy use, these initiatives are expected to further reduce warehouse electricity consumption and strengthen overall sustainability performance.
Introducing advanced electronic systems for comprehensive paperless inventory management
WT has seven logistics centers, located in Taiwan, Hong Kong, Shenzhen, Singapore, South Korea, United States and Germany. When a purchase order is placed, the shortest footprint across the supply chain as well as the respective demand and inventory of these locations are taken into account by the system to determine and designate a logistic center for the vendors to ship to.
An advanced logistics system has been deployed to all the logistics centers to achieve paperless electronic operations, while handheld devices are used to scan product and storage placement barcodes for all warehouse handling including receiving, shipment, and relocation. Accounting and location is updated in real-time by the system, replacing the significant amount of paperwork that it used to involve.


Receiving management
• When a purchase order is placed, the shipment is set to be received by the warehouse that is the closest to the scheduled delivery destination

• The shipment and logistics information from the vendor is interfaced to the freight tracking system to keep an up-to-date track on the shipment.

• After the vendor ships out the PO is automatically interfaced to the warehouse receiving system (status “pending”) to promote paperless operations.

• The receiving procedures are all performed with PDAs scanning barcodes for the material number, quantity and manufacturing-related information.


Warehousing management
• A logistic system was introduced to process all warehousing management with electronic procedures. Upon slotting, sorting, relocation, product barcodes are scanned with PDAs to update inventory record on the system.

• For inventory taking, the system generates an electronic inventory. After the product barcodes are scanned and quantities are entered into PDAs against the list, the system will generate an inventory result report in real time.


Shipping management
• Upon acceptance of a shipment order, the system automatically picks the goods according to the first-in-first-out principle. Priority is also given to shipping in the original carton to reduce the use of packaging materials.

• For an order is less than the quantity of one original container, the system automatically selects the most suitable carton size for the quantity to reduce the use of filling materials. The original carton is recycled and reused for another shipment order that fits.

Largely cutting paper use by shipment consolidation and electronic procedures
In addition to requiring vendors to ship directly to designated logistics centers, WT collaborates with customers to streamline shipment frequency by consolidating orders wherever possible, thereby reducing transportation batches and carbon mileage. In 2025, consolidated shipments — including Future Electronics orders — resulted in approximately 1.2 million fewer shipments, representing a reduction of 52.87%. However, consolidation has proven more challenging at the Shenzhen logistics center, where the customer base tends to consist of smaller-scale accounts, making order consolidation more difficult to execute.

Buying less new cartons and filling materials by reusing packaging cartons
Through the integrated management of sales orders and purchase orders, some received products can be shipped out in full boxes. They will be put into storage in their original packaging without unpacking. No waste will be generated. If repackaging is necessary, the removed cartons and all the fillers within will be collected upon receiving process. The cartons will be classified as “eco-friendly cartons” for reuse. For shipment packaging, recycled cartons will be used whenever possible to reduce the use of new cartons. The fillers used to protect the products in the cartons are made of bio-degradable materials.
In 2020, Taiwan and Hong Kong began to keep track of the amount of fillers used (in meters). Starting in 2024, the Future Electronics logistics center was incorporated into the calculation. As Future Electronics operates on an unboxing-and-shelving model, additional cushioning materials are required during outbound shipment to protect products, leading to a significant increase in usage. In 2025, cushioning material consumption at Future Electronics stood at 0.96 meters per carton. A full rollout of the EWM system is planned for the Future Electronics Singapore warehouse in Q2 2026, at which point receiving procedures will be partially transitioned to a whole-carton shelving model.
As the Singapore and Korea logistics centers receive goods in whole cartons destined for single customers, no repackaging is required upon outbound shipment, and therefore no cushioning materials are procured at these locations.

WT continues to cut down on packaging materials with efforts including using paper pallets whenever possible for loading products in warehouses and shipments, reducing the usage of fillers, and always using renewable packaging materials for logistics operations. Newly purchased cartons also adopt the principle of minimal printing, with only stacking and transportation precautions marked and no additional graphic or text printed.
Following the inclusion of the Future Electronics logistics center in the 2024 reporting scope, the proportion of original carton reuse declined, largely due to Future Electronics currently shipping primarily in new cartons. The Future Electronics Singapore logistics center adopted WT’s EWM system in Q2 2025, achieving a 49.01% rate of recycled carton usage and direct original-carton shipment, while overall carton consumption decreased by 6.36% compared to 2024. All product lines is expected to be completed in Q1 2026, after which systematic management will enable continuous improvement in recycled carton utilization and original-carton shipment rates, further enhancing resource efficiency and reducing packaging material consumption.
In 2025, carton usage was reduced by 923,100 square meters, equivalent to approximately 760,634 kilograms. Based on the new carton carbon footprint emission factor of 1.33 kg CO₂ per kilogram, as referenced from the Product Carbon Footprint Information Platform, this reduction corresponds to a total of approximately 1,011 metric tons of CO₂e.
