Air Conditioners |
SYSTEX continues to replace the water pump of air-conditioning units to effectively improve the energy conservation performance. In 2022, we plan to replace 4 energy-consuming air-conditioning units in the data centers, with an estimated power saving rate of 25.9% and a total power saving of 243,000 kWh. |

Energy-saving Lamps |
SYSTEX collects, tracks, records and analyzes all energy data through its smart energy management systems to optimize the use efficiency of energy related equipment, thereby achieving the purpose of carbon reduction, with an estimated power saving of 50,000 kWh. |
|
Promotional Signs |
SYSTEX has posted the calorie-consuming charts in the stairwell at the headquarters building, and also promoted health signs to encourage employees to exercise more in response to carbon reduction and health promotion. |

Resource Management Action Plan
Office Paper Management
For non-confidential and non-personal documents, SYSTEX treats these papers as recycled waste ones to remind employees of the importance of saving papers. At the same time, in accordance with “Personal Data Protection Act” and awareness of resource regeneration, the confidential documents are regularly collected and destroyed.
- In 2021, SYSTEX promotes the reuse of waste paper internally, replacing paper forms with digital systems and using rental eco-friendly copy machines with EPA-certified eco-labels. In 2021, a total of 2.497M sheets was used, with a decrease of 178,000 sheets (approx. 996.8 kgCO2e) compared to 2020.
- SYSTEX’s 2022 goal of paper usage reduction is 250,000 sheets.
Office Waste Management
Since SYSTEX is an IT service provider, it doesn’t generate hazardous waste. According to “Wasted Disposal Act” and other relevant regulations, all IT-related waste should be disposed of according to a specific process, and then disposed by the recyclers, so as to prevent data leakage and reduce damage to the environment. Besides, the recyclers also collect monthly waste-related data for us to improve waste management.
- In 2021, SYSTEX generated a total waste of 66.9 tons, with a decrease of 1 ton (approx. 444 kgCO2e) compared to 2020.
- SYSTEX’s 2022 goal of waste reduction is 4% compared to the base year (2020).
Water Stewardship
The SYSTEX headquarters building is fully equipped with sensor faucets and water economizers of toilets to save water. In addition, SYSTEX also puts up the water-saving signs in the pantry room to promote environment protection.
- In 2021, a total water consumption was 17,426 kL, with a decrease of 5,129 kL (approx. 284.1 kgCO2e) compared with 2020 due to remote work measures for epidemic prevention.
- SYSTEX’s 2022 goal of water consumption reduction is 23% compared to the base year (2020).
