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 2025 were 942,421.7688 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 99.60% of the annual GHG emissions. In 2025, electricity consumption increased due to the addition of a leased operating site, an increase in laboratory equipment, and higher equipment usage, resulting in a 17.79% increase in Category 1 and 2 carbon emissions; meanwhile, product manufacturing and shipment volumes increased significantly compared to 2024, primarily for GPU servers, resulting in a 19.98% increase in Category 3 to 6 carbon emissions. Although total Category 1 and Category 2 carbon emissions increased as the Company continued to expand, revenue also grew. Therefore, the emissions intensity in 2025 decreased by 23.41% compared to the previous year.

Categories 3 to 6 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 introduce GHG inventory management based on the GHG Protocol beginning in 2026 and evaluate participation in the SBTi in 2027, contributing to global efforts to mitigate climate change.

Water Resource Management

Giga Computing's water withdrawals are supplied entirely by third-party water utilities, with water primarily used for domesticpurposes. Total water withdrawal in 2025 was 21.16 million liters, mainly due to an increase in the number of employees at Giga Computing Headquarters and the addition of a leased operating site in 2025. In addition, recycled water used for irrigation by the U.S. subsidiary was included in the data statistics in 2025, resulting in an increase in total water consumption. However, as revenue also increased significantly, water withdrawal intensity remained at the same level as the previous year.

Note 2: Water consumption for Giga Computing Headquarters and GIGAIPC operating sites was calculated based on actual usage as recorded on water bills. Water fees for the U.S. subsidiary location are collected uniformly by the leased building, and as a result, the water withdrawal volume is calculated by allocating the total water consumption stated on the water bill in proportion to the location's share of the water fee.

 

 

Waste Management

The main waste generated at Giga Computing Headquarters 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 Headquarters follows waste management and disposal measures in accordance with the ISO 14001 Environmental Management System, in collaboration with GIGABYTE Technology. 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.
