Namchow Group is committed to promoting energy conservation and emission reduction, continues to evaluate and introduces \ninternational management standards to improve energy management efficiency and climate resilience. In the Mainland China and \nThailand regions, our factories have established environmental management systems through ISO 14001 certification and third-party \nverification to comply with applicable laws, regulations, and other environmental requirements. We also adhere to the principles of ISO \n14064-1 for greenhouse gas inventories, gradually conducting GHG emissions inventories and verifications in various regions. Carbon \nreduction targets will be set based on the inventory results. Starting from an inventory of energy consumption, we will plan a reduction \nplan, and evaluate and develop actions in multiple aspects to respond to climate change.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Energy consumption by Namchow Group consists mainly of purchased electricity, natural gas, and coal; to strengthen our ener\ufffegy management, we have organized an internal energy conservation task force to promote energy conservation measures that reduce \nconsumption, prevent energy loss, and curb waste. We also developed energy efficiency indicators and targets in support of regional \ngovernment energy and environmental policies, or by signing the \"Annual Energy Conservation Target Responsibility Agreement Letter\" \nin order to improve energy conservation, enhance energy conversion efficiency, and reduce our environmental impact.\nIn 2025, each Group factory continued to improve their energy efficiency and resource utilization through various means, includ\ufffeing heat recovery, EMS implementation, condensate recycling, and plastic reduction in packaging. Energy consumption and waste were \neffectively reduced.
In 2025, the Group\u2019s factories actively made various improvements to enhance energy efficiency and resource utilization, including heat recovery, EMS implementation, condensate recovery, and reduction of plastic in packaging materials, effectively reducing energy consumption and waste.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Energy consumption is the primary source of greenhouse gas emissions for Namchow Group. Consequently, the Group has es\ufffetablished \"energy management and efficiency improvement\" as its core focus, integrating short-, medium-, and long-term strategies to \nprogressively drive a low-carbon transition. Furthermore, the Group implements autonomous carbon reduction management tailored to \nthe specific local conditions of each plant.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Water Resource Management<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The changes in the global rainfall pattern, and the increased frequency of heavy rains and prolonged droughts in recent years \nhave resulted in an unstable water supply, thereby increasing business risks. As food processing as Namchow Group\u2019s main production \nmodel, clean and sanitary water resources and stable water supply are of significant importance to the Group. Therefore, water \nresources management plays a critical role in the Group\u2019s sustainable development.<\/p>

The water used in restaurants and food processing facilities in various regions, including Taiwan and mainland China, is sourced \nfrom disposable tap water provided by local governments or relevant authorities. The operational risk associated with water resources is \nrelatively low. However, as part of corporate social responsibility, multiple water conservation measures are implemented to effectively \nmanage water resources. In Thailand, treated water from deep bores is used. The use of groundwater may lead to ground subsidence \nand deplete underground aquifers, so water conservation and exploration of new sources of water supply are issues our business in \nThailand will continue to face in the future.<\/p>

In recent years, changes in rainfall patterns have occasionally led to water interruptions or restrictions, with an average duration \nof less than 24 hours. To address such situations, the Chungli Factory in the Taiwan region has storage tanks and water towers with \na capacity to supply the factory for three days or more, ensuring uninterrupted operations. Similarly, the Shanghai Qiaohao Factory in \nmainland China has a 650-cubic-meter emergency water tank in place to prevent accidents and reduce operational losses.<\/p>

Due to greater differences in seasonal and regional rainfall in various regions, there is a possibility that drought may lead to \nwater restrictions or reduced water supply. In addition to ongoing water conservation measures and wastewater treatment, each region \nconducts water use inventories using the World Resources Institute\u2019s (WRI) water resource risk map to regularly assess the water \nrisk levels of the areas where each production site is located and uses the results to develop water use improvement plans and water \nconservation plans.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

In response to the global trend of green environmental protection, Namchow Group has incorporated the concept of circular econ\ufffeomy into waste management. We modified our processes to reduce waste generated, and increased the recycling rate from processes \nto achieve the goal of reducing waste from the source.
Industrial waste generated by Namchow Group\u2019s operating sites in each region is removed, treated, or recycled in accordance \nwith local government regulations. Related information is also regularly declared through online reporting. In addition, the removal, dis\ufffeposal, and reuse of industrial waste are double-checked online within the prescribed deadline. Waste sorting, collection, storage, man\ufffeagement, and disposal are enforced for effective waste control. The waste treatment by the Group\u2019s operating sites in each region in \ncompliance with the requirements of laws and regulations. They apply for discharge or treatment permits in accordance with the law and \nfile reports to the competent authorities truthfully. At present, waste is mainly disposed of by external treatment companies.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
