Water Conservation Management
Although Ardentec is not a water-intensive enterprise due to its relatively low water consumption, the Company remains committed to the goals of reduction, recycling, and reuse of water resources. Ardentec continuously implements water-saving initiatives, such as upgrading water-saving equipment, recovering air conditioning condensate, and reusing reverse osmosis (RO) reject water from production processes as supplementary water for cooling systems. These measures maximize water resource circulation, reduce overall water consumption, and enhance water conservation performance. In 2024, the Talent Site at the headquarters introduced new recycling and filtration systems for cooling water discharge, air conditioning, and air compressor condensate, enabling water to be recirculated and reused. The combined water recycling volume at the headquarters and the Nanjing subsidiary reached 41,070 metric tons, accounting for 10.5% of total water withdrawal. The cost savings generated from water reduction initiatives have been reinvested into environmental education related to water resources, contributing to a positive cycle of the Company's green management system.
