Environmental Protection
Getac has set the Company's environmental policy with the goal of “Care for the Environment, Sustainable Recycling,” for cherishing the Earth's resources, and complying with national environmental laws and regulations. Getac is committed to promoting green production, fulfilling our responsibility to protect the Earth, through standard operating procedures; we include water resource management, energy management, wastewater, waste, and air pollution prevention in our daily management.
All Getac's factories scrupulously abide by the environmental laws and regulations of the plant locations, and all factories have obtained the environmental management system certification of ISO14001 or the same level, and all plants have completed the new version certification of ISO14001:2015.
Smart Energy Monitoring
In order to cope with the increasingly severe energy challenges and minimize the impact on the ecology, Getac's plants and products actively obtain environmental-related certifications and promote a number of energy resource productivity improvement plans internally. It is hoped that through intelligent operation management, it will be able to maximize resource utilization efficiency and effectively reduce carbon emissions. Our energy-saving projects in 2020 are estimated to have saved 1,261 MWh. With the accumulated investment in energy-saving projects since 2017 achieving 9,824 MWh of energy savings in 2020, equivalent to 6,208 metric tons of Co2e, equivalent to the annual carbon sequestration of 16 Taipei’s Da'an forest parks.
Water Resource Management
The 2030 Sustainable Development Agenda passed by the United Nations will also set: “Ensure that all people have access to water and health facilities of sustainable management,” as the key agenda. Based on a philosophy of cherishing global resources, Getac is firmly determined to use every drop of water to maximum effect. Getac continues to invest in process water recycling equipment to conserve water resources and ensure constant recycling and reuse. Water reclamation performance is reviewed on a regular basis. In 2020, the total quantity of reclaimed water reached 17,454 million liters, with reclaimed water accounting for around 96% of total water consumption.
