Environmental Policies and Measures

￭ Energy saving and Carbon Reduction Measures:

一、In accordance with the Energy Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs, the company continues to promote energy-saving and carbon reduction measures to cope with the impact of environmental changes.

(一). Introducing office energy-saving equipment and high-efficiency energy-saving lighting equipment have been prioritized to save energy.
(二). For the sake of cherishing and loving its possessions, Resource Sharing Day is held to share unused items with those who need them while recycling shared resources instead of hoarding or discarding
them.
(三). Garbage sorting is implemented to promote recycling paper reuse, double-sided printed documents, reducing paper printing through electronic operations, purchasing green labeled photocopy paper, and regularly destroying expired documents in large quantities to minimize their negative environmental impact.
(四). Resource recycling is provided by an environmental protection service company to transport recyclables to the recycling plant for free so that resources are recycled to save energy and reduce the consumption of earth resources.

二、The following measures are being implemented in conjunction with energy saving and carbon reduction:

(一). Energy saving and carbon reduction projects for electrical equipment:

1. Replacement of business machines with energy-saving models.
2. Power-saving control of drinking fountains at night and on holidays.
3. Shutdown of passenger elevators at night and on holidays.
4. Control of indoor air-conditioning temperature at 24~26℃ and regular cleaning and maintenance of the cooling water tower and return air filters.
5. Replacement of energy-saving frequency conversion air-conditioning equipment.
6. Replacing traditional chilled water mainframe equipment with energy-efficient inverter-type mainframe equipment with energy efficiency level 1.
7. Replacing traditional lighting equipment with energy-saving LED lighting equipment.
8. Installing new elevators with power regeneration systems and frequency conversion.

(二).Energy saving and carbon reduction implementation projects for daily life:

1. Promoting water conservation.
2. Encouraging colleagues to take the stairs instead of the elevator.
3. Using public transportation whenever possible.
4. Promoting Vegetable Life Day.
5. Two-stage water-saving toilet replacements.
6. Advocating for the reduction of disposable tableware.
7. Turning off lights and air-conditioners when not in use.
8. Turning off computers and desktop appliances after work.
9. Air-conditioned areas should be isolated from outside air. Windows and doors should be closed to avoid cold air leakage or the intrusion of hot air that increases air-conditioning load.

￭ Greenhouse Gas Emissions (Electrical Consumption Per Employee):

Note：
The per capita electricity consumption in 2022 was reduced by approximately 25% compared to 2021.
The number of employees in 2022 increased by approximately 37% compared to 2021.
Carbon emissions per capita increased slightly in 2023 due to climate change (2023 was the hottest year on record worldwide) and an increase in the company headcount.

￭ Water Resources Management (Annual Water Consumption per Employee):

Note:
Per capita water consumption in 2022 is about 27% less than that in 2021. The number of employees in 2022 increased by about 37% compared to 2021.
The number of employees in 2022 increased by approximately 37% compared to 2021.
Although the total water consumption increased in 2023, the per capita water consumption remained steady at 11.2 tons.

￭ Waste Management

Infinite Finance is not a manufacturing industry, so the waste generated in the operation process is primarily daily domestic waste. To reduce the environmental impact, the company implements garbage sorting and resource recycling in everyday life. It reduces the waste and reuse of resources through the following actions, with the mission of "zero waste, and full cycle."

Infinite Finance entrusts its waste removal to a company approved by the government to clean its waste. Infinite Finance's organizational scale has continued to expand in recent years. The company's staff continues to increase, and the corresponding waste volume has increased simultaneously. The initial contract with the cleaning company was approximately 1.5 tons of monthly waste (approximately 65-70 kg daily). However, after the efforts of colleagues in implementing waste sorting and reducing the use of disposable tableware, the amount of waste has decreased. The amount of waste cleared has been reduced to 1.4 tons (the daily amount has been reduced to 60-65 kg) since 2020.

￭ Carbon Reduction Targets

Given the increasing threat of climate change to the environment, human survival, and national security, Infinite Finance is committed to reducing carbon emissions. This is accomplished through multiple benefits, power savings, energy efficiency, and policy analysis to minimize the economic, environmental, and social impacts of carbon emissions.

￭ Carbon Reduction Measures

1. Energy efficiency improvement:
    Installation of efficient lighting LED fixtures.
2. Regular evaluation of power consumption improvement and equipment management:
    Regular assessment and replacement of high-energy consumption and traditional electrical equipment with energy-efficient models.
3. Water resources management:
    Installation of water-saving devices, such as two-stage flush toilets and low-flow faucets, to reduce water consumption.
4. Promotion of energy-saving behaviors:
    Encouraging employees to adopt energy-saving behaviors through training and education, such as turning off equipment and lighting when not in use.
5. Waste management and resource recovery:
    Implementing a waste reduction program to encourage employees to reduce waste generation.
6. Green traffic and transportation:
    Establishing a recycling system for sorting and recycling resources such as paper, plastic, and glass.

Supplier’s sustainability policy

To strengthen the supply chain and sustainable development, Infinite Finance has formulated an administrative procurement supply management method to establish a procurement supply management system. In combination with evaluation and survey satisfaction mechanisms, this will ensure that suppliers are qualified. It also provides the items and services Infinite Finance requires to improve procurement efficiency and save operating costs.

￭ Sustainable Procurement Principle

With environmental protection, energy saving, and carbon reduction as the principal axes, Infinite Finance establishes a supply chain that protects the environment, Human Rights, safety, health, and sustainable development. In addition to regular supplier supervision projects and evaluating performance and services, supply management sets relevant norms by investigating supply chain conditions and conducting supply management to prevent, address, remedy or control potential and adverse sustainable impacts.

￭Green Products and Local Procurement

Infinite Finance adheres to the principle of local product procurement to reduce the dependence on foreign-origin factories while shortening delivery time and reducing costs. Infinite Finance expects this to improve Taiwan's independent design and manufacturing capabilities. The company prioritizes products labeled with environmental protection, energy saving, water saving, green building materials, and other such products as the procurement goals.

￭Green Procurement Implementation Project

￭Plastic Reduction Action:

• Environmentally Friendly Beverage Cups (Elephant Cuppa)

According to statistics, Taiwan is a paradise for hand-shaken beverages. The Taiwanese population can consume 2.2 billion disposable beverage cups in one year. Infinite Finance has procured environmentally friendly beverage cups made of ECOZEN biocomposite material. ECOZEN is a renewable bioplastic with good biodegradability. These cups are given to employees to encourage sustainable practices that reduce the impact of plastic waste on the environment. In addition to providing environmentally friendly cups to employees, the company also provides these cups for VIP visitors. This is expected to create an environmentally friendly atmosphere and influence all partners so that more people will be encouraged to use environmentally friendly cups.

• Company Staff Polo Shirts and Caps

Infinite Finance uses 100% recycled polyester for our POLO shirts and caps. This helps reduce plastic waste accumulation, save energy and raw materials, and minimize the negative impact on the environment.
