GHG Management

In 2025, following the ISO 14064-1:2018 GHG inventory standard, Giga Computing completed its voluntary GHG inventory. The total GHG emissions for 2024 were 785,529.4346 tons of CO2e. Of these, Category 4 and 5 were the largest contributions, mainly from purchased materials and the use of sold products, accounting for 99.65% of the annual GHG emissions. In 2024, Scope 3 emissions increased by 69.8% due to a significant rise in product manufacturing and shipment volumes compared with 2023, primarily attributable to GPU servers. However, the carbon intensity of Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions decreased by 59.65% compared with the previous year. Categories 3 to 5 are difficult to control because they involve upstream and downstream partners. In the future, we will, through routine carbon inventories, understand the organization's GHG emissions status and, based on the results, formulate short-, mid-, and long-term emission reduction targets. At the same time, we plan to launch the SBTi project in the second half of 2025 to contribute to global carbon reduction efforts.

Note 1: GHG inventory boundary: Giga Computing HQ, GIGAIPC.
Note 2: Inventory Methodology: Giga Computing complies with ISO 14064-1:2018 GHG inventory standard, and voluntarily completed the 2023-2024 GHG inventory operation.
Note 3: Scope of GHG inventory: Carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O), hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), perfluorinated chemicals (PFCs), sulfur hexafluoride (SF6), nitrogen trifluoride (NF3), a total of 7 GHGs.
Note 4: The GHG inventory uses the operational control approach for assessment.
Note 5: Category 6 was not disclosed as it did not meet the material threshold.
Note 6: GHG coefficient reference: Ministry of Environment's GHG Emission Factor Management Table version 6.0.4, academic papers, similar products, or data from Simarpro or the Ministry of Environment.
Note 7: Emission intensity = (total carbon dioxide equivalent of Category 1 + Category 2 emissions) / annual revenue per million NTD.

 

 

Water Resource Management

Giga Computing's water source are from third-party water suppliers, with the primary use for domestic purposes. In 2024, the total water intake was 16.84 million liters. Because water use information for certain GIGAIPC's sites is handled together by the leased buildings, data collection is difficult; therefore, the scope of water use data for this year does not include certain GIGAIPC's operational sites.

Water Use Category	Intake/Discharge Destination Classification	2023(Million liters)	2024(Million liters)
Water intake	From rainwater recycling, rivers, lakes	0	0
	From groundwater	0	0
	Water supplied from water companies, municipal water supply, and wastewater treatment plants	13.42	16.84
	Total water intake	13.42	16.84
Water discharge	Discharged into rivers, glaciers, lakes, swamps	0	0
	Discharged into groundwater	0	0
	Discharged to the wastewater treatment plant for treatment	10.74	13.47
	Total water discharge	10.74	13.47
Water consumption	Total water consumption	2.68	3.37
Water intake intensity (million liters/million revenue)		0.0003	0.0001

Waste Management

The main waste generated at Giga Computing HQ consists of general waste produced by employees' daily activities. Industrial waste primarily comprises electronic waste, with a small amount of hazardous waste. To prevent negative impacts on neighboring communities and ecosystems from its waste, Giga Computing HQ follows waste management and disposal measures in accordance with the ISO 14001 Environmental Management System, in collaboration with GIGABYTE. This includes adhering to the Group's "Waste Disposal Operations Guidelines." All waste is handled and disposed of by qualified third-party waste management service providers. In 2024, no incidents of illegal dumping or violations by waste handlers were found at Giga Computing HQ. We will continue to manage waste properly to maintain a zero-violation goal.

Year	2023		2024
	Disposal Volume (metric tons)	Proportion (%)	Disposal Volume (metric tons)	Proportion (%)
Non-hazardous waste	44.11	98.44	114.11	98.40
Hazardous waste	0.70	1.56	1.86	1.60
Total amount of waste	44.81	100.00	115.97	100.00
Waste intensity (tons/million revenue)	0.0009		0.0009

Note 1: General industrial waste includes domestic waste generated by employees in their daily lives.
