Note 2: A location-based disclosure of scope 2 GHG emission was adopted. GHG emission from power usage was calculated based on the latest coefficient announced by the Bureau of Energy, Ministry of Economic Affairs, before the report was published Note 3: The GHG emissions verified by a third party. The coverage in 2016 and 2017 was Taishin Tower and Neihu Building while it is bank-wide in 2018. The coverage in 2019 is group-wide. Faced with the possible risk of climate change, Taishin has been paying close attention while ensuring compliance with the latest regulations, and is actively supporting the government's green energy policies. In terms of renewable energy, Taishin installed solar power equipment at Neihu Building at the end of 2016 and supported the domestic renewable energy certification system introduced by Bureau of Standards, Ministry of Economic Affairs, in 2017 and became the first wave of companies to be certified for the purchase of renewable energy. In terms of management systems, Taishin completed the implementation of greenhouse gas survey at Taishin Tower and Neihu Building in 2016 (covering 31.6% of employees) and later expanded to the whole group in 2019 (covering 100% of employees) to enable more robust control and monitoring of greenhouse gas emission. Furthermore, to ensure ongoing enhancement of energy performance, Taishin escalated its collaboration with the Bureau of Energy, Ministry of Economic Affairs, to create an "Intelligent Energy Performance Management Information System" based on ISO 50001 - Energy Management System, so that feasible and effective actions can be taken to improve energy management. With regards to the use of resources, we take initiative in eliminating use of paper, saving water, and implementing proper waste management to minimize the environmental impact of our business operations. Electricity is the main form of energy used by Taishin, whereas gasoline by corporate vehicles presents the second largest use of energy. In 2019, Taishin purchased 35,495,288 kWh(=127,781.62 GJ) of electricity, 166,530 liters of gasoline (=5,437.34 GJ), and 4,856 iters of diesel fuel (=5,855.59 GJ), consuming total energy of 139,074.55 (GJ). During the year, 22,058 kWh of electricity generated from solar power was sold directly to Taiwan Power Company. Thus, Scope 1 emission totaled 1,052 tonnes CO 2 e while Scope 2 emission totaled 19,186 tonnes CO 2 e in 2019. Scope 1 and Scope 2 emission intensity were calculated at 2.189 tonnes CO 2 e per person.
