Looking ahead to 2024, achieving net zero emissions has become the main theme of global sustainable development. The path for businesses, from operational strategies to data governance, must integrate sustainability, carbon management, and corporate operations, and extend these practices throughout the entire supply chain to ensure compliance with relevant regulations, and strengthen corporate risk and cost management in order to stand out in the market.

CHUNGHWA SYSTEM INTEGRATION (CSI) is moving towards the transformation goal of becoming an "innovative solution provider," leveraging over 20 years of experience in the ICT industry. It focuses on 5G, AIoT, and energy management as core technologies, targeting applications in smart inspection, manufacturing, energy, and other vertical fields in line with the global carbon neutrality trend, making energy and carbon reduction the second growth curve. With the concept of "co-creation and sharing," CSI deepens its connections with industry partners to create a new ecosystem for innovative applications.

Drawing on its advantages in ICT technology and experience, CSI not only provides professional consulting and implementation and operational services in areas such as networking, software, systems, storage, security, databases, drones, and AR applications according to customer needs, it also deepens the applications of 5G AIoT in various industries and scenarios, meeting the needs of low-carbon smart manufacturing and energy management. It is transforming from a system integrator to a solution provider, and will continue to work with partners to create the best value for customers.

With the rapid development of technology, the demand for high-performance computing (HPC) is increasing, and at the same time, it brings about high energy consumption, posing a major challenge for companies to implement sustainable development. CSI, with its comprehensive experience in ICT applications, energy management solutions, and data center operations, uses high-speed computing servers with advanced water cooling technology to provide innovative and efficient solutions for customers, solving the problem of high energy consumption and reducing the PUE performance index.

Many industries in Taiwan play important roles in the global supply chain. In order to alleviate the impact of carbon neutrality and carbon border taxes (BAM), CSI has partnered with industry partners to create a one-stop carbon management platform service to help companies build carbon inventory capabilities, automatically calculate greenhouse gas emissions, and comply with international certification requirements such as ISO 14064-1. This platform also integrates greenhouse gas inventory and CBAM reporting processes, automatically interfaces with the EU carbon border tax system, calculates product carbon footprints, and generates the necessary declarations and offsetting documents, quickly aligning with international standards and enhancing competitiveness in international markets.

In recent years, CSI has actively expanded its energy industry in response to national energy policies, successfully playing the role of a system integrator in energy transformation in areas such as solar photovoltaics, energy storage systems, and grid integration. It has numerous successful implementations in various fields, and with a professional team, creates one-stop energy solutions tailored to customer needs, helping companies optimize energy efficiency, reduce carbon emissions, and achieve green sustainable development. In response to the trend of carbon neutrality, it provides comprehensive services including energy creation, storage, and smart system integration, enabling customers to achieve the goal of introducing green energy and reducing carbon emissions, fully demonstrating its professional strength in the energy field.

To implement the ESG management concept, CSI recently passed the ISO 14064-1 greenhouse gas inventory verification by a globally renowned third-party verification agency, demonstrating the company's achievements in carbon inventory and opening up a new milestone in carbon footprint management. It also actively promotes environmental sustainable management and operation, reduces greenhouse gas emissions, mitigates environmental impact, and contributes to the protection of the Earth's environment.

On the other hand, CSI recognizes that employees are an important resource for the sustainable development of the company. It has invited internationally credible verification agencies to arrange a series of project training courses, including the "Greenhouse Gas Inventory Standard Lead Verification Officer Training Course" and the "Product Carbon Footprint Management and Calculation Basic Course," deepening employees' understanding of sustainable transformation, fully learning professional skills in carbon inventory, implementing effective carbon reduction strategies in operations, and complying with environmental regulations. Through these training courses, it enhances employees' professional knowledge of carbon footprint standards, accurately calculates product carbon footprints, and helps companies effectively manage carbon emissions and comply with regulations.

In practical actions for sustainability and social responsibility, CSI overhauls laptops, replacing hard drives and reinstalling application software and operating systems, giving these laptops a second life to ensure that each one operates normally, and then donating them to social organizations with scarce resources. This not only extends the life of the equipment, but also maximizes the value of electronic product recycling, reducing the burden of environmental pollution. Through these donation activities to remote or resource-scarce social organizations, it reduces the digital learning gap and demonstrates the company's commitment to environmental sustainability and giving back to society.
