- Note 1: Based on the project’s contents and benefits, the original performance indicators of the biodiversity project were further classified into two categories: carbon sink and cumulative carbon sequestration and the establishment of a database for Taiwan’s native species.
- Note 2: Originally, the performance indicators for the product carbon footprint inventory primarily focused on the relationship between effectiveness and customer schedules. However, the inventory has now been reclassified as WNC’s internal management goals along with new performance indicators: fully compliant with product hazardous substances management regulations and customer requirements.
- Note 3: Environmental management goals do not include subsidiaries in the U.S., Germany, the U.K., Japan and Mexico.
- Note 4: Energy usage intensity (MWh/million NT$) is obtained by dividing energy consumption by consolidated revenue.
- Note 5: Water withdrawal intensity (cubic meters/million NT$) is obtained by dividing water usage by consolidated revenue.
- Note 6: Waste generation intensity (tonnes/million NT$) is obtained by dividing the amount of waste handled by consolidated revenue.
- Note 7: Weight ratio of recycled plastic used is obtained by dividing the total weight of recycled plastic used (tonnes) by the total weight of thermoplastic used in mechanical parts (tonnes).
- Note 8: WNC has increased the percentage of recycled plastics in product components, provided that it does not violate customer specifications.
