Green OfficeGreen Office
We regularly carry out relevant maintenance work in the office environments and operating sites, and employees implement the 5S Principles on a daily basis. Through Seiri (sort), Seiton (set in order), Seiso (clean and check), Seiketsu (standardize), and Shitsuke (self-discipline), we have stablished daily habits of energy and resource conservation and resource recycling. We also manage our operating environments according to the division of responsibility and regularly discuss the results and improvement methods. As such, employees have also developed such habits unconsciously. In alignment with our corporate culture, we will continue to move toward green life. As for operating sites, we actively manage the use of various resources and have formulated relevant regulations on energy and greenhouse gas management, water resources management, and waste management. Our operating locations and office environments are also managed and inspected in accordance with applicable public safety building regulations and fire regulations.We regularly carry out relevant maintenance work in the office environments and operating sites, and employees implement the 5S Principles on a daily basis.

Energy and Greenhouse Gas ManagementEnergy and Greenhouse Gas Management
The energy consumed at HFC’s operating locations in Taiwan is mainly purchased electricity. To promote the concept of energy conservation and carbon reduction in the office environment and operating locations, we hold a “passing through five checkpoints activity” by asking employees to check if the computers, lights, air-conditioners, multi-function printers and extension cord switches are turned off in the workplace when they get off work. The lights in the office are turned off during lunch breaks, and the temperature of the air conditioners is set at 26°C, thereby achieving sustainable development. In 2023, the per capita electricity consumption decreased slightly by 0.29%. In the future, HFC will also actively promote the introduction of energy-saving measures to continuously improve energy efficiency. Regarding automotive gasoline, in order to promote the net zero goal, HFC has gradually increased the proportion of electric company cars. In 2023, HFC a total of 62 company vehicles, including 2 pure electric vehicles, 17 gasoline-electric hybrid vehicles, and 43 gasoline vehicles. The proportion of pure electric and gasoline-electric hybrid vehicles is “30%.” The total consumption of gasoline was 119,628.35 liters, and the consumption per unit was 1,929.49 liters. The increase in automotive gasoline usage in 2023 was due to the increased frequency of cross-border commuting in 2023 as a result of the expansion of the managers’ responsible business territory.The energy consumed at HFC’s operating locations in Taiwan is mainly purchased electricity.

Water Resource ManagementWater Resource Management
The source of water used by HFC is 100% from the Taiwan Water Corporation. We do not use groundwater or other natural water bodies or other organizations' water sources. The water at each business location is for employees' use only. The used domestic wastewater is discharged through the sewerage system. After treatment through the sewerage system, the water quality met the discharge standard before being discharged into the natural water bodies; therefore there was no adverse impact. In addition, we have also installed water conservators to regulate the water output and eliminate unnecessary water waste. In 2023, the total water consumption of HFC was 10.684 million liters, and the per capita water consumption increased by 4.6%. However, water efficiency has improved, with an average reduction of 7.04% in water usage per million in revenue. Due to the nature of the industry of HFC, HFC is not a major water user. For water conservation actions, HFC will continue to strengthen its publicity efforts in order to raise awareness of environmental protection.The source of water used by HFC is 100% from the Taiwan Water Corporation.

Waste ManagementWaste Management
HFC is not in manufacturing industry, and thus the wastes generated during its operations are mainly domestic wastes. In order to reduce the impact of waste disposal on the environment, we implement waste classification and resource recycling in the workplace daily. We also adhere to the concept of environmental protection, Three R, and take the following actions to further reuse resources. In addition, HFC has been actively promoting a "paper-free" work environment in recent years, and the quantity of paper destroyed by water in 2023 was significantly lower than in previous years.HFC is not in manufacturing industry, and thus the wastes generated during its operations are mainly domestic wastes.
