As global warming becomes increasingly severe, Ardentec is committed to contributing to the environment. From 2023 to 2025, the Headquarters has adopted national forests along the Dajia River and Daan River in Taichung, covering a total forest area of 5.43 hectares. It is expected to sequester approximately 96 metric tons of CO2 annually, helping mitigate the greenhouse effect, improve air quality, and preserve biodiversity, thereby benefiting the planet. Since 2021, Ardentec has continuously adopted national forests, with a cumulative carbon sequestration of 806 metric tons of CO2 by 2025.
GIGA Subsidiary, with the initial intention of corporate environmental protection, enhances green coverage by planting trees to reduce carbon emissions and mitigate the urban heat island effect, creating a more comfortable and pleasant environment, and contributing positively to the environment. From 2021 to 2026, the adoption of forest land in the Basianshan Working Circle, Heping District, Taichung City, with an annual adoption area of 0.51 hectares, is expected to sequester 17.7 metric tons of CO2 annually. With a cumulative carbon sequestration of 73.5 metric tons of CO2 by 2025, it helps mitigate the greenhouse effect and preserve biodiversity, fostering sustainable ecological development.

Ardentec Headquarters collaborates with the Trust in Nature Foundation to promote the "Reef Check" ESG initiative, with the results being recorded on the Team Ocean ESG Solutions. Through scientific investigation and citizen participation, gain actual understanding of the health status of coral reefs along Taiwan's coasts, providing a concrete and traceable foundation for marine ecological conservation efforts.
This collaboration includes professional training and survey methods provided by the Trust in Nature Foundation, enabling leading marine volunteers to conduct observations of coral coverage, biological metrics, and environmental conditions using standardized procedures, thereby transforming the power of volunteers into scientifically valuable ecological data.
The Reef Check will survey 23,600 square meters across Taiwan in 2025, encompassing a total of 27 sample sites and conducting 24 coral reef inspection surveys. And through organizing workshops and ecological lectures, promote marine ecological conservation, extending it to all corners of society. A total of 3 Ecology Lectures were held with 135 participants, along with 3 EcoDiver Workshops involving 40 participants.
Ardentec Headquarters also organized internal employee marine ecology lectures for a total of 119 participants, inviting ecological divers to share knowledge on ecological conservation. Not only did it deepen employees' understanding of marine issues, but it also shifted ESG from "awareness" to "action," integrating environmental protection into corporate culture and daily decision-making. Through interdisciplinary collaboration with professional environmental organizations, businesses are no longer just supporters but become co-practitioners of marine conservation.

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

"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 the 11th "Clean My Ocean, Ardentec Leading ESG and Beach Cleanup Activity" in 2025.Approximately 214 employees, family members, and supplier partners from the headquarters and GIGA subsidiary gathered at Zhubei Xinyue Beach.

The beach cleanup action involved removing debris from the coastline, sorting it, and recording the quantities. The collected waste data was submitted to the International Coastal Cleanup (ICC) initiative, managed by The Ocean Conservancy, to contribute to the annual global marine debris report and support global environmental protection. Total Marine Debris Removed in 2025 : 260 kilograms.

The activity continues to promote Ardentec Corporation's long-term ESG (environmental, social, and governance) philosophy. In addition to the beach cleanup initiative, ESG-themed interactive game booths were set up on-site, allowing participants to learn about social responsibility, low-carbon living, and waste sorting in a relaxed and engaging manner, further enhancing environmental awareness and team cohesion. Encourage participants to experience sustainable actions in an engaging and enjoyable way, embedding the principles of ESG deeply in their minds.

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.
