Greenhouse gases and climate change

Every year, the UNFCCC Conferences of the Parties discuss the core issues of how countries can reduce greenhouse gas emissions in order to prevent the global temperature from rising by 2 degrees Celsius and the negative impacts caused by climate change.

Even though Taiwan is not one of the Annex 1 Parties of the Kyoto Protocol, the government had already promulgated the Greenhouse Gas Emission Reduction and Management Act on July 1, 2015, to promote the cause nationwide. In addition, China is expected to exceed America in 2016 in the total emissions of carbon dioxide since 1990. China will become the world’s largest country in terms of carbon dioxide emissions.

As environmental awareness rises, consumers will choose products that are more environmentally friendly, and governments are using Green Marks to promote [[[(Green Product Procurement) ]]]. Products will eventually end up in a market that is appealing to the environment.

Asian Power Devices Inc. may not be an energy-intensive industry, and will not be facing the impacts from greenhouse gas reduction any time soon, but there are still potential risks from the coming climate change: for example, an extreme climate can still affect production or delay shipping. Continuous new greenhouse gas regulations from the world might also have a financial impact on Asian Power Devices Inc. and our clients. We at Asian Power Devices Inc. are aware of the potential crisis from climate change, so we have always been highly active in promoting greenhouse gas emissions and energy conservation.

In view of this, since 2010, Asian Power Devices Inc. has been cooperating with the leading clients of Information and Communications Technology in the Greenhouse Gas (GHG) inventory to perform comprehensive inventories across all major factories in Asia Pacific, and drafted the goal for greenhouse gas reduction to continue carrying out every reduction plan in the power systems of all factories. By preparing ourselves early for the risks, we can turn them into opportunities.

For years, Asian Power Devices Inc. have passed the “Reasonable level of assurance” of greenhouse gas verification several times, and received the ISO 14064-1:2006 Organizational Greenhouse Gases Emissions Verification Statement from TÜV SÜD. We also release the inventory report and the detailed list within the organization as well as perfectly preserve all greenhouse gas inventory records.
