Greenhouse Gas Emissions Management
As an IC design company, inergy Technology handles product design, R&D, and sales, with wafer production, packaging, and testing outsourced to OEMs. This minimizes air pollution, wastewater, power consumption, and GHG emissions. In alignment with FSC's policy on greenhouse gas reduction, it aims to evaluate and implement effective measures for carbon reduction.
To enhance risk assessment and management, inergy Technology will conduct a GHG inventory in ISO 14064-1:2018 in 2023, with third-party verification in 2024. 2023 will be the base year for its inventory convering direct GHG emissions (Category 1), purchased electricity (Category 2), upstream transportation (Category 3), and raw material purchases and wastes (Category 4). This inventory will be updated annually, and the improvement targets will be based on annual reviews.

Energy Efficiency
As a fabeless IC design company, inergy Technology outsources product manufacturing to professional manufacturers. Its office fully powered by Taiwan Power Company, consumes significant electricity, particularly for R&D activities. This high energy uses stems from the extensive computer software testing and specialized equipment required in the design process.

Water Resources Management
As a fabless IC design company, inergy Technology outsources product manufacturing to professional manufacturers, so there is no process water involved. Its headquarter located in Tai Yuen Hi-Tech Park, Jhubei City, Hsinchu County, does not have an independent water meter. Instead, water consumption and costs are shared among building users with 100% tap water from Taiwan Water Corporation.
The Park has sewage recycling equipment that repurposes domestic wastewater for irrigation within the park. Employee wastewater is directed through the building's sewage system to the parks' treatment facility, ensuring no environmental impact.
In 2023, total water consumption was 1,944.10kWh. All faucets, toilets in the building are equipped with water-saving features, including sensor-activated outputs to minimize water waste.
