In addition to creating green machine tools, environmental sustainability is also our responsibility

Energy Policy

GOODWAY based on corporate social responsibility and sustainable management goals, has collectively promoted the international standard ISO 50001:2018 Energy Management System. Our commitment to energy policy is as follows:

Energy Conservation and Carbon Reduction
Full Employee Participation
Continuous Improvement
Sustainable Culture

• Comply with energy-related regulations and promote energy-saving and carbon-reduction policies.
• Implement energy efficiency improvement plans and continuously improve energy performance.
• Regularly review energy objectives to ensure information is accessible.
• Prioritize the procurement of low-energy products to enhance energy usage efficiency.
• Implement energy management policies and engage all employees in energy-saving activities.
• Support green energy and co-create a corporate culture focused on environmental sustainability.

Energy-saving equipment

In 2023, an investment of USD 30,000 resulted in a total benefit of saving 57,401 kWh of electricity per year and reducing carbon emissions by 15.68 metric tons per year. The details are as follows:
Energy management, such as:

• The existing air compressor equipment was outdated and consumed about 10% more electricity compared to market models. In 2023, an investment of USD18,000 was made to replace it with a variable frequency air compressor, which will reduce electricity consumption by 25,101 kWh/year and decrease carbon emissions by 13.9 tons/year.
• The air compressor supply pressure adjustment was improved. The original pressure was 8.5 kg/cm², and after evaluation, it was adjusted to 7.2 kg/cm². Based on experience, each reduction of 1 kg/cm² in air supply pressure saves approximately 7% of energy consumption. The plan to reduce the pressure by 1.3 kg/cm² is expected to save around 9.1%, which will reduce electricity consumption by 12,215 kWh/year and decrease carbon emissions by 0.67 tons/year.
• In the CTSP branch, the original lighting fixtures used T5, T8, and PL lamps. In 2023, an investment of USD 12,000 was made to replace the lighting fixtures with LED lights. This upgrade is expected to reduce electricity consumption by 20,085 kWh/year and decrease carbon emissions by 1.11 tons/year.

Environmental Awareness and Actions

Energy Conservation Management Policy

The primary source of energy used by GOODWAY is purchased electricity. At this stage, the company has set energy-saving targets and implements a comprehensive management plan to monitor consumption. Additionally, the design of factory buildings prioritizes natural lighting over artificial illumination, and all existing high-energy halogen lamps have been replaced with energy-efficient LED lighting.

Establish a solar power generation system.

To respond to the trend of green energy, GOODWAY has actively utilized the rooftops of various plants to establish solar power generation systems. This includes the Chiayi branch, which was connected to the grid in 2020, the Wujiang branch, which was connected to the grid in 2019, as well as the CTSP branch, Taichung headquarters, and Chiayi branch phase II, which will soon be equipped with solar power systems through self-investment. Preliminary statistics indicate that once all the solar power systems at these plants are fully operational, they will be able to generate approximately 2 million kWh of green electricity annually, thereby reducing carbon emissions by approximately 1,300 tons per year.

Water Conservation Management Policy

Faced with the increasingly severe global climate change, how to effectively utilize water resources has become an urgent issue that needs to be addressed. GOODWAY has carefully developed a water conservation plan, actively reducing wastewater generation and increasing the use of recycled water through measures such as improving processes, water-saving initiatives, and recycling.
