Energy Resource Management

Topoint implemented an independent greenhouse gas (GHG) inventory check at the organization level following version 4.1 Standardized GHG Emissions Reporting every year.
In 2021, total GHG emissions at Topoint were 5,910.3 tons of CO2e. Including Scope 1 emissions of 146.6 tons of CO2e, and Scope 2 emissions of 5,763.8 tons of CO2e, which are mainly generated from the purchased electricity required by the plant. So the purchased electricity was the major GHG source.
In 2021, The intensity of energy was down 26.2% from that of the base year; the intensity of indirect GHG emission was down 30.4% from that of the base year.

Energy Saving and Carbon Reduction Projects throughout the years include:

1. Replacing air conditioning equipment with high performance units.
2. Installing a frequency transformer for the cooling tower fans to modulate operation speeds. The difference between effluent temperature and wet-bulb temperature of the cooling tower was used as the basis for fan speed control.
3. Complete lighting replacement project. All conventional indoor lighting devices were replaced with high-performance and energy-saving LED lighting.
4. Using natural ventilation or adding fans and ventilators in public areas to reduce the loading of air conditioning units.
5. Continue to promote energy saving and carbon reduction concepts to all fellow employees.

Water Resource Management

Tap water is the primary source of water used at Topoint, mainly used by production processes while remaining for domestic water. The intensity of process water was down 21.2% compared to the base year.
Topoint is well-aware of the scarcity of water and has implemented water conservation measures for both our production processes as well as domestic use. These measures include:

• Dynamic activation of the cooling towers to reduce evaporation, dissipation, and splattering of coolant fluid of the air conditioning system, and adding a coolant processing apparatus.
• Installing a process water recycling and processing apparatus, allowing treated water to be recycled and reused.
• Completely replace equipment with water-conserving models to reduce domestic use.

Waste Management

The primary type of waste generated by the production processes of Topoint is general business waste. 
We do not produce hazardous waste. We uphold the 4R principle of Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, and Replace, and reusable resources in waste are recycled accordingly. 
We also employ source management to prohibit, replace, and reduce materials that may impact our environment. 
In 2021, total waste generated by Topoint reached 88 tons, a value that was 13.1% lower compared to the base year. This was regarded as an achievement of our process improvement and resource recycling projects, allowing us to generate less waste while reducing our environmental impact.
