Ardentec Natural Fields: Respecting Ecologically Friendly and Healthy Practices

Ardentec Headquarters supports the Changhua Xizhou Shangshui Ecological Paddy Wetland Restoration Project, jointly managing the "Ardentec Natural Fields." This initiative employs pesticide-free, chemical fertilizer-free, and entirely natural farming practices, allowing the plants and animals on the land to naturally form a balanced and biodiverse ecosystem. The natural rice harvested in 2024, in addition to being purchased by employees, was donated to the Catholic Hua-Kuang Social Welfare Foundation, the World Peace Council - Children and Youth Care Center, and the Huashan Social Welfare Foundation - Hsinchu County Hukou Love Angel Station, totaling 595 kilograms. By purchasing the natural rice and supporting local sustainable agriculture, we ensure that farmers' labor receives fair respect. Through this eco-friendly and health-conscious consumption, we support both environmental sustainability and ecological balance. This effort not only restores the lost ecosystems but also extends the farmers' love for the land and nature to warmth for humanity.

Devoted to the Land, Committed to the Forest

As global warming becomes increasingly severe, Ardentec is committed to contributing to the environment. From 2023 to 2025, the Company has adopted national forests along the Dajia River and Daan River in Taichung, covering a total forest area of 5.5 hectares. It is expected to sequester approximately 96 metric tons of CO2 annually, equivalent to the carbon absorption capacity of about 0.54 Daan Forest Parks. This initiative will help mitigate the greenhouse effect, improve air quality, and preserve biodiversity, contributing positively to the planet.
Since 2021, GIGA subsidiary has also been adopting forest land in the Ba Xian Mountain Business District in Taichung's Heping District, with a forest area of 0.54 hectares. This is expected to sequester 17.7 metric tons of CO2 annually, equivalent to about 0.1 Daan Forest Parks.
Since 2021, Ardentec has continuously adopted national forests, with a cumulative carbon sequestration of 710 metric tons of CO2 by 2024, roughly equivalent to the carbon absorption capacity of 2.48 Daan Forest Parks. GIGA has also been adopting national forests from 2021 to 2023, with a cumulative carbon sequestration of 56.4 metric tons of CO2 by 2024, equivalent to about 0.3 Daan Forest Parks.

Chasing Green, Pursuing Sustainability: The Foshou Lake Environmental Hiking Event

The surface of the lake rippled gently, with a soft breeze brushing through, while occasional waterfowl skimmed across the water. On October 19, 2024, the Nanjing subsidiary, led by the President, organized an environmental hiking event at Foshou Lake Scenic Area under the theme "Chasing Green, Pursuing Sustainability." A total of 43 employees and their families participated.
During the event, participants actively engaged with enthusiasm. Armed with tongs and trash bags, they applied their knowledge of waste segregation to properly dispose of litter, restoring the park's natural beauty. The children, guided by their parents, stood out with their small yet impactful presence, and their laughter became the most delightful melody of the event. After several hours of hard work, the park was rejuvenated.
This activity not only beautified the park environment but, more importantly, reinforced the commitment of Nanjing subsidiary employees to continue practicing environmental sustainability in their daily lives. We firmly believe that the vision of "evergreen mountains and always green waters" will be realized in the future.

Protecting the Oceans, Loving the Earth: A Global Partnership for Beach Cleanup

Supporting International Ocean Beach Cleanup Initiatives

"If everyone is willing to contribute a little energy towards the environment, our planet will have the collective power of 7 billion people to become better!

With this belief, Ardentec Headquarters hosted its 9th annual "Protecting the Oceans, Loving the Earth" beach cleanup initiative in 2024. Approximately 320 employees and their families from the Headquarters and GIGA subsidiary participated at Xinyue Sand Bay in Zhubei, while about 17 employees from the Singapore subsidiary joined the event at Woodlands Waterfront Park.
The beach cleanup action involved removing debris from the coastline, sorting it, and recording the quantities. The collected waste data was transmitted to the International Coastal Cleanup (ICC) initiative, managed by The Ocean Conservancy, to contribute to the global annual marine debris report. In 2024, a total of 515 kilograms of marine debris was removed by the Headquarters and GIGA subsidiary, while the Singapore subsidiary contributed 15 kilograms.
With a shared passion for the environment, Ardentec Group employees and their families are working diligently to restore the beauty of the oceans and ensure a healthy living environment for marine life! Through hands-on participation, they gained a deeper understanding of how to change daily habits, practice waste sorting, and do their utmost to protect the vast oceans and the natural ecosystems that nurture diverse forms of life.
This year, the beach cleanup event at Headquarters introduced an ESG environmental education challenge, aimed at conveying ESG principles to employees and their families through an engaging and enjoyable experience. Ardentec emphasizes the sustainability of environmental ecosystems and encourages employees to adopt plastic reduction practices in their daily lives.
With their passion for the environment, employees and their families actively participated in the beach cleanup initiative, contributing to the restoration of the oceans' beauty and the healthy habitats of marine life!
While protecting the oceans and caring for the Earth, we also supported the Eden Bakery Café by purchasing their meal boxes as gifts during the event, demonstrating our commitment to supporting organizations that assist people with physical and mental disabilities. This initiative reflects the educational significance of being both environmentally and socially responsible.
The Singapore subsidiary believes that everyone has a responsibility to maintain a clean environment in Singapore. The beach cleanup activity not only allowed us to take direct action, but also contributed positively to society. On September 21, 2024, the Singapore subsidiary conducted a cleanup at Woodlands Waterfront Park. Despite regular government cleaning efforts, we still collected approximately 15 kilograms of waste. The cleanliness of the environment should not be taken for granted but requires collective effort, continually driving sustainable development.

Being Mutual-Good for Environment Street Trees and Green Belt Adoption

Working together with the neighbors in the industrial area to improve the environment, Ardentec adopts the street trees and green belts around the company, regularly clean and water the trees, as well as trim and maintain the trees every quarter.

Happy Spore Environment Activity

The senior executives and employees of the Korea Subsidiary conduct biannual voluntary clean-up activities within a 1-kilometer radius surrounding the Company. This initiative aims to foster a clean and safe street environment through voluntary environmental efforts, collectively preserving the surrounding natural surroundings. The Company envisions that such positive actions, like soaring spores, will spread small yet meaningful moments of happiness.

Endorsing Environmental Protection and Supporting Wildness
