Environmental Protection

Build a smart park

In recent years, global emphasis on ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) concerns has made issues related to energy conservation and carbon emissions increasingly critical.  Ennoconn  with its strong technical expertise, comprehensive product portfolio, and successful supply chain integration, is well-positioned to assist the government in achieving its goal of net-zero carbon emissions by 2050.

In March 2023, Ennoconn made an investment in Ennowell Co., Ltd., and subsequently introduced the ESaaS (Ennoconn Solution as a Service) system into the ‘Chiayi Machouho Smart Park.’ This initiative aims to create a smart park that harmoniously combines ecological and economic development, thereby promoting the upgrading of local industries. The ESaaS platform offers a range of services, including AI and ESG systems, encompassing intelligent environmental monitoring, GIS (Geographic Information system), ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) operational management information systems, and a centralized smart integration platform.

Investment in the green energy sector

Ennoconn Group is bullish on the growing demand in the energy market and has strategically expanded its product lines in energy management.In July 2023, a 60 million-dollar investment was made in the green energy industry by Ennorise. Ennorise in collaboration with Ennoconn’s subsidiary Ennowell, introduced a distributed energy storage system showcased at the Taiwan International Smart Energy Week. This product offers a range of specifications from 5kW to 2MW, helping customers utilize off-peak charging and peak discharge to alleviate peak power demands. Its primary applications include industrial parks, data centers, smart factories, commercial office buildings, logistics centers, and retail malls.

In addition to the distributed energy storage system, Ennoconn has also developed a comprehensive energy management system. This integrated system incorporates Ennowell usage monitoring, energy data analysis, and intelligent system management, coupled with Huaxu’s energy storage and energy generation equipment. It addresses the needs of peak power backup, cost savings for users, and mitigating losses due to power outages.

The results of Ennoconn’s investment in Ennorise Energy have been gradually fermented since October 2023. In response to Ennoconn ‘s four major transformations of “digital, green, information security, and AI”, Ennorise Energy’s energy storage equipment and energy solutions have carried out the following layout.

1. Enter the international digital AI companion robot market for children.
2. Cooperate with DSP (digital signal processing) technology integrators.
3. It has won the favor of excellent smart building system and information security protection integrators and domestic research and academic institutions, and the energy storage equipment has been officially supplied.
4. At the same time, in order to grasp the pulse of the green energy industry, we actively provide samples to professional energy storage case suppliers in Taiwan.

Ennorise Energy’s industrial energy storage equipment produces 35 million kilowatt-hours of electricity per year, with an annual carbon reduction of 17,325 tons, which is equivalent to 71 Da’an Forest Parks. Since Ennoconn ‘s investment, in terms of energy storage equipment, Ennorise ship to at least 4 companies, 1 university, 1 smart building and other customers in 2023. It is expected that the annual electricity storage capacity will reach 4.69 million kilowatt-hours and the carbon reduction amount will reach 4.69 million kilowatt-hours, amounting to 2,321 tons, to demonstrate the performance of energy saving and carbon reduction.

Our company’s expertise in hardware-software integration, cloud-network convergence, and smart connectivity technology positions us at the forefront of ESG initiatives focused on energy conservation and carbon reduction. We have leveraged horizontal and vertical integration of resources from our subsidiaries and partners to assist both the government and businesses in executing comprehensive smart integration solutions. Through digital technology, we aim to drive sustainability in energy and the environment.

Coping with climate change has become a current issue facing the global citizens of the earth. Our company takes relevant measures in the heart of caring for and protecting the earth. We strictly prohibit the use of hazardous substances established by global regulations in our products to avoid potential harm to organisms or the environment.

In addition to banning the use of hazardous materials and products, we expect to be committed to addressing climate change trends. Implement energy conservation and carbon reduction measures, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and formulate specific energy conservation plans.

For each year in the future, we will accelerate the implementation of net zero emissions plans and further commit to environmental conservation responsibilities.

In 2024, in order to protect the environment, Ennoconn will strive to complete the following projects:

1. The ISO 14064-1 Greenhouse Gas Inventory Committee established internal verification plan, and the greenhouse gas inventory is implemented year by year.
2. Complete the third-party certification of the ISO 14064-1 greenhouse gas inventory statement and the ISO 50001 energy system certification before the end of 2024.
3. Reduce the organization’s greenhouse gas emissions according to the plan. Taking 2021 as the base year target, carbon emissions will be reduced by 30% in 2025 and 50% in 2030. The long-term strategy is to achieve net zero emissions by 2050.

Conflict Minerals Free Policy

In July 2010, the U.S. Government signed the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Dodd-Frank Act”). Section 1502 of the Dodd-Frank Act requires all US publicly traded companies to file disclosures and reports with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) related to the use of Conflict Minerals in their products.

ENNOCONN is taking due diligence within our supply chain to assure “DRC Conflict-Free” for the Minerals of Gold (Au), Tantalum (Ta), Tungsten (W) , Tin (Sn) and Cobalt (Co) are not derived from or sourced from mines in conflict areas of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), or illegally taxed on trade routes, either of which are controlled by non-governmental military groups, or unlawful military factions. Trade routes not confirmed to be “Conflict Free” include direct exports from the DRC, as well as exports through Rwanda, Uganda, Burundi, Tanzania and Kenya (Countries of whom the U.N. Security Council note are global export routes for DRC-mined minerals).

ENNOCONN, as the global citizen, declares and commits to refusing the application of metals from conflict regions, meanwhile we request suppliers of ENNOCONN’s supply chain to comply with the following requirements:

1. Ensure operation complies with the social and environmental policies.

2. Not to use conflict minerals originating from the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) and its adjoining countries and other conflict regions.

3. To track the origins of all the Gold (Au), Tantalum (Ta), Tungsten (W), Cobalt (Co), and Tin (Sn) used in your products, to ensure that these metals from sources other than the“conflict minerals”.

4. Enforce the same requirements to your upstream suppliers and sources.
