In addition to regularly monitoring electricity usage to assess consumption status, feasible energy-saving projects are evaluated and implemented to effectively reduce energy use.

According to the World Resources Institute's Aqueduct Water Risk Atlas, Taiwan is classified as Low-Medium (1–2), indicating stable water supply. The main operating site is located in Taiyuan Technology Park, and does not utilize groundwater or seawater. Thus, it is not considered a high water stress area. In light of increasing climate change impacts and water scarcity, the company continues to promote water conservation, monitor monthly usage, and strengthen management measures.

Waste output and storage data are reported online regularly in accordance with waste management regulations. Waste is categorized as general domestic waste and industrial waste.
