Water Management Program

Water use assessment to identify opportunities for water efficiency improvements

Through the introduction of ISO14001, TWM conducts a complete inventory of the company's water consumption, and sets short, mid and long-term water conservation target to improve water efficiency.

Actions to reduce water consumption

Water saving measures for the office: Information regarding water consumption in offices is sent to supervisors of each unit monthly to promote water saving measures.

Water saving measures for direct-operated stores: Monthly review of water consumption report, notification of any abnormalities for leakage detection and maintenance.

Server rooms/ base stations (including Taiwan media/IDC/IT server rooms)：

1. Reduce the amount of water spilling from the cooling towers.
2. Maximize water chiller efficiency.
3. Recycled PET bottles placed in toilets to reduce the water used for flushing.

Actions to improve wastewater quality

TWM main water use is for air-conditioning cooling, which is different from water used in manufacturing or chemical industries. Therefore, there is no need to improve waste water quality.

Establishment of targets to reduce water use

In 2023, we reduce total tap water consumption by 6%(0.019646 Million cubic meters), the actual reduction was 7.5%(0.024556Million cubic meters).

In 2030, Reduce total tap water consumption by 15% compared to 2017.

Application of water recycling

In our IDC and office have rainwater harvesting system and water dispenser wastewater recycling system: treated water is used for watering landscaping plants or toilet flushing, thus achieving substantial savings in water consumption and reducing waste.

In 2023, we recycled a total of 0.000915 (million cubic meters) of water, accounting for approximately 0.3% of total water consumption.

Awareness training provided to employees on water efficiency management programs

TWM announces environmental and energy policy, as well as relevant environmental regulations on a regular basis every year. TWM encourages employees to actively practice energy saving, carbon reduction, and water conservation to contribute to the planet. We provide energy-saving, carbon reduction, plastic reduction, and water efficiency practices and awareness training on the intranet. Additionally, we offer monthly statistics on office water and electricity usage, waste production, and printer usage to promote various energy-saving measures among employees. This initiative aims to raise employee awareness of energy efficiency, starting with water conservation, electricity saving, and plastic reduction.
