WT and its consolidated subsidiaries achieve 100% GHG inventory,surpassing regulatory requirements
Since 2018, WT has proactively conducted GHG inventories in alignment with ISO 14064-1:2018 and the GHG Protocol. To ensure data accuracy and reliability, third-party verification is performed annually.In response to the Group’s rapid operational expansion, WT completed a full GHG inventory across 100% of its operating locations in 2024—one year ahead of the regulatory deadline in 2025.Based on the identification of material indirect emissions, the inventory scope has expanded to include:
• Indirect emissions from imported energy (purchased electricity, Scope 2)
• Fuel- and energy-related activities not included in Scope 1 or Scope 2 (Scope 3)
• Business travel (Scope 3)
• Employee commuting (Scope 3)
• Upstream and downstream transportation and distribution (Scope 3)
• Capital goods (Scope 3)
• Waste generated in operations (Scope 3)Additionally, emissions from WT’s standalone entity and Taiwan subsidiaries within the consolidated financial statements have been third-party verified by BSI Taiwan.
GHG emission reductions target was met again in 2024
To align with the national greenhouse gas reduction strategy and the long-term targets outlined in the Climate Change Response Act,WT initially designated 2018 as the base year for its GHG inventory. However, due to significant changes in operational boundaries exceeding the materiality threshold (defined as a 3% variance of total emissions), the base year was updated to 2022. Beginning in 2024, WT aims to reduce Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG emissions by 3% to 5% annually compared to the previous year. Emission reduction initiatives will be implemented in accordance with this target to support the Group’s overall decarbonization goals.

For 2024, the scope of WT’s externally verified operations included operational sites and warehouses in Taiwan, as well as logistics centers in Hong Kong and Singapore. Scope 1 GHG emissions totaled 101.7286 tonnes CO2e, while Scope 2 (market-based) emissions amounted to 1,388.7021 tonnes CO2e, bringing the combined Scope 1 and 2 (market-based) emissions to 1,490.4307 tonnes CO2e.
No carbon offsets were applied in 2024. However, through emission reduction measures, such as the procurement of 155,189 kWh of green electricity in Taiwan. WT achieved a 3.35% reduction in GHG emissions compared to 2023, successfully meeting our Scope 1 and Scope 2 reduction targets within the verified regions.WT Group 2024 scope 1 emissions by gas type

In addition, WT conducted a comprehensive voluntary GHG inventory for all operational sites group-wide in 2024. The inventory scope was structured into three major regions: Asia-Pacific (APAC), Americas, and Europe, Middle East, and Africa (EMEA), with emissions disclosed using a location-based approach by site.
In 2024, WT conducted a voluntary GHG inventory across all its global operational sites. The results showed Scope 1 emissions of 2,127.48 tonnes CO2e and Scope 2 emissions (location-based approach) of 5,318.54 tonnes CO2e, bringing the total Scope 1 and 2 emissions to 7,446.02 tonnes CO2e. The regional breakdown of these emissions is illustrated in the figure below. WT will continue to monitor emissions across all locations in the years ahead and gradually expand the scope of external verification.WT 2024 self-inventories of regional emissions (Unit：tonnes CO₂e)
Although We implemented several emission reduction initiatives in 2024, including the replacement of 660 fluorescent lamps with LED lights at the Taiwan headquarters (resulting in an estimated electricity saving of 43,212 kWh), and the activation of a solar power generation system at the Shanghai site (producing 104,613 kWh of self-used electricity), total GHG emissions still increased compared to 2023.
The rise in emissions was mainly due to the expanded scope of the 2024 voluntary inventory, which newly incorporated all operational sites of Future Electronics and additional Scope 3 emission sources, including employee commuting, capital goods, upstream and downstream transportation and distribution, and waste generated during operations.
Moving forward, we will continue to implement carbon reduction measures across its global operational sites, aiming to reduce the environmental impact of its carbon footprint and steadily advance toward our low-carbon targets.

The event was awarded a carbon reduction label at the end of April 2025
WT Group collaborated with the Chinese Taipei Ultra Marathon Association to promote the initiative of “Implementing Green Sporting Events.” The campaign advocates the adoption of 6R principles – Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, Refuse, Replace, and Remind, to drive energy conservation and carbon reduction practices. The event also applied for a Carbon Reduction Label as a model for organizing sustainable and environmentally friendly sports events.
On September 7, 2024, the Cilan Forest Trail Race in Yilan County welcomed nearly 600 participants, including 50 international runners from 14 countries, such as Australia, Hong Kong, Japan, South Korea, and Mongolia. The race featured multiple categories: Ultramarathon distances of 100km, 80km, and 50km, as well as shorter distances of 25km, 10km, and 5km, attracting elite trail runners from across the region.
The Cilan Trail Race first conducted a carbon footprint inventory in 2022 and received both third-party international verification and the first official Carbon Label for a sporting event issued by Taiwan’s Ministry of Environment. In 2024, the race underwent a second carbon footprint assessment to evaluate the impact of revised race logistics and structure, positioning it as a pioneer in actionable green sports events.
The Chinese Taipei Ultra Marathon Association has also played a key role in promoting the “Sports Sustainability Label” issued by the Asia Oceania Ultra Athletics (AOUA). Within a short time, the label has been successfully implemented in both domestic and international events, demonstrating substantial impact. In 2025, the association will continue to promote this systematic, objective, and credible labeling system to the global running community, encouraging more races to join the movement toward sustainable sports.
