Implementation of Clean Tech - Face the Impact and Influence of Extreme Climate Change

As the regulations and requirements for environmental sustainability become more and more significant, and the investment in transformational products that meet market needs gradually brings benefits, PTI has taken a proactive approach to mitigation and adaptation, including the development of clean technology as its primary axis of action. To create a win-win situation for both the economy and the environment, PTI has developed a blueprint for sustainable corporate management.

Strategy 1

Implemented a climate-related risk and opportunity identification process in accordance with the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures Recommendations (TCFD Recommendations). (Please refer to Chapter 4, Climate Strategy, of the 2022 TCFD Report for details.)

Strategy 2

Adopted and implemented the development strategy of "Clean Tech".

Strategy 3

Invested in the development of " Clean Tech" such as fan-out panel level packaging (FOPLP) and advanced packaging.

Programs & Initiatives

(Please refer to the 2022 TCFD Report for details on the "Clean Tech" in practice.)

Fan-Out Panel-Level Packaging (FOPLP) Advanced Technology

Facing the impact of climate change, the use of energy and resources needs to be more efficient. PTI believes that the future package and testing industry will move towards a more diversified and high-tech trend, with smaller products, more functions, lower power consumption, and more environmentally friendly materials. So PTI was committed to strengthening our own research and development capabilities.

In response to industry and technology development trends and customers' increasing demand for advanced package and testing capacity, we have purchased new equipment to increase production capacity and meet customers' expectations for new products. Based on this, we are more actively moving towards cutting-edge, high-efficiency packaging technology. PTI invests in the development of Fan-Out Panel-Level Packaging (FOPLP) technology, which has the advantages of significantly reduced package thickness, effective increase in wire density, and improved product electrical performance; compared with the transistor shrinkage process, the first large-size panel packaging can achieve large-scale production benefits and greatly improve production efficiency. In order to reduce manual handling, when setting up a FOPLP production line, introduce an unmanned handling system (Automated Material Handling System, AMHS) to improve per capita output benefits, and achieve better output per square meter in the same clean room space, practice intelligence and clean tech design.
 

Use Renewable Energy and Make Blueprint for the Net Zero Future

PTI Renewable Energy Roadmap and Current Implementation Status
The plans for using renewable energy are mainly implemented in the three following stages based on the development of the renewable energy industry:
Stage 1
Major electricity users that meet the criteria in the Renewable Energy Development Act are required to complete the construction of renewable energy totaling 10% of their electricity contract capacity before 2023. (PTI completed two years ahead of schedule)
Stage 2
The ratio of renewable energy use is gradually increased so that the use of renewable energy from solar and wind power reach 15% by 2030.
Stage 3
PTI will achieve the net zero emission targets of the government and the RE100 supply chain requirements of customers by 2050.

Set up Renewable Energy Equipment

Set up solar panels in the plants: The solar power generation equipment was erected on the roof of the factory area and powered at the end of 2022, generating 140,000 kWh of renewable energy. It is expected to generate 3 million kWh of electricity in 2023 (self-generated for self-use). In terms of renewable energy purchased from external sources, we have signed renewable energy supply contracts with suppliers and will continue to purchase to renewable energy in 2023. The Company plans to use approximately 7.5 million kWh of renewable energy each year starting from 2023, which will reduce the carbon emissions from the use of electricity and meet the 1% carbon reduction target. We will also commence stage 2 renewable energy usage in 2023.
