Environmental Sustainability & External Advocacy
Overall Environmental Sustainability Philosophy
Compal is committed to reducing the environmental impact of its operations, to build a company-wide environmental sustainability management framework. In accordance with the “ESG Sustainable Development Action Plan for TWSE and TPEx-Listed Companies” issued by the Financial Supervisory Commission (FSC), Compal has completed greenhouse gas inventories with subsidiaries included in consolidated financial statements and has passed the ISO 14064-1: 2018 standard with third-party independent verification to ensure the accuracy and credibility of environmental data.
To enhance environmental governance efficiency and data integration, Compal launched the Compal Cloud for Sustainability in 2024 as the central hub for group-level environmental management. This platform integrates environmental performance data on carbon emissions, energy, water, and waste, supports each site in target setting, implementation tracking, and performance feedback. It establishes a standardized framework for localized action, and enhances consistency and real-time responsiveness in environmental management.
To improve resource efficiency and target management, Compal sets clear short-term environmental performance targets, requires each department to reduce electricity intensity, water intensity, and waste emission intensity by 1% per year. Through management mechanisms such as internal audits, performance reviews, and training, Compal ensure that each location enacts improvements according to the action plan, gradually achieving an efficient, low-carbon, and environmentally friendly operation.

Green Product Design: Introduce central concepts of sustainable thinking.
Compal views green product design as the cornerstone of sustainable thinking. From the development stage, Compal considers the environmental impact across the entire product lifecycle—design, production, transportation, use, and disposal—strives to reduce resource consumption and carbon footprint at every stage, thus fulfilling responsibilities to the environment and users.
Environment Sustainability Management
Although Compal does not belong to high-energy-consumption or high-water-consumption industries, we remain committed to monitoring the negative environmental impacts of our operations and actively improving the efficiency of energy, water use, reducing the waste of various resources, lowering emissions of waste and pollutants to achieve the goal of environmental sustainability. The company has established a series of short-term goals and strategies, including a 1% reduction in electricity, water usage, and waste intensity compared to the previous year. These goals are implemented through regular tracking and verification to ensure effective environmental performance management. Moreover, to thoroughly implement Compal’s environmental sustainability management philosophy from top to bottom and continuously reduce the consumption of various resources and optimize their usage efficiency, we regularly conduct educational training. This helps communicate our environmental management objectives to all employees, enhancing their awareness of energy conservation, water conservation, waste reduction, and green product design and manufacturing, thereby realizing various action plans for environmental sustainability management.
