Energy Saving and Carbon Reduction Plan, Assessment of Climate Change and Preventive Measures

1. Introduction

The 2015 United Nations Climate Summit (COP 25) completed the "Paris Climate Agreement", and hundreds of countries agreed to achieve the goal of carbon neutrality by 2050. The most important thing about the Paris climate agreement is that the countries that have agreed to promote domestic legislation of net zero, the goal is to ensure that the common goal of mankind can be achieved.

The net zero goals involve all industries, various resource use and emissions, not only the impact of global climate change, but also the fact that all humans living on the earth should take action to avoid greater risks.

Therefore, as a company listed in OTC, moving towards the net zero goal is a part of corporate social responsibility, and it should be implemented in response.

3. Quantilize management objectives

1. Energy Saving and Carbon Reduction

• Global warming has gradually caused extreme climatic effects. Although the company is not a manufacturing company, it still generates carbon emissions during its operations. Considering the overall environment, it still responds to the government's goal of achieving net zero carbon emissions by 2050.
• The company has set a future quantitative management goal for energy saving and carbon reduction, that is, based on the company's CO2 emissions (kg/m2) in 2020, and reach the interim goal of reducing another 5% by 2025.

2. Water Management

• In response to global climate change, the stabilization of water supply has become a problem in all countries. Especially in Q1 and Q2 of 2021, Taiwan faces severe water conditions.
• In order to fulfill its social responsibilities and respond to global water shortage issues, the company will challenge the interim goal of reducing overall water consumption (tons) by 5% by 2025 with 2020 as the base year. Facing the challenges of climate change together.

3. Waste Reduction

• The company is not a manufacturing company. Most of the waste generated in the company's operations is household and general waste. From 2020 to 2021, due to the impact of COVID-19 pandemic, the waste generated by personal protection and dining will show a trend of increasing instead of decreasing. As a result, the output of waste has been shown to be increasing.
• After removing the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, the waste production (kg) in 2019 will be used as the benchmark to challenge the phased reduction target of 5% by 2025.

4. Measures to Achieve Interim Goals in 2025 (Actions)

1. Energy Saving and Carbon Reduction

• Continue to seek and replace more energy-efficient office facilities and devices.
• Implement power-saving programs from the three major aspects of air-conditioning system, electric lighting, and other power consumption, and regularly inspect energy-consuming equipment and perform necessary replacements.
• Organize energy-saving and carbon-reduction education training courses and promotion.
• Often visit the departments to inspect individual actions for energy saving and carbon reduction.

2. Water Management

• Require all the departments to implement a water conservation plan within the company.
• Regularly check the normal operation of the water supply system to avoid water consumption other than normal use.
• Organize water management education and training courses and promotion.

3. Waste Reduction

• Carry out more strict waste recycling and classification operations.
• Speed up the full paperless progress.
• Organize waste reduction education training courses and promotion.
• Often audit the implementation status of waste classification (including food waste) from time to time to each unit, and submit the implementation status of the unit to the company meeting report.

4. Actual actions of ShareHope and its subsidiaries

• Subsidiary of the company, Medzone Asia (B2B pharmaceutical e-commerce platform) creates a smart medical ecosystem that combines logistics, exclusive cash flow and smart technology, integrates drug suppliers and medical information system manufacturers, and provides drugs and services to primary medical institutions. At the same time, Medzone Asia also provides a two-way interactive channel between medical institutions and the public, allowing medical institutions to easily manage customer relationships and transmit health and education information, and provide a number of services such as people's life measurement records and health records in the cloud. Finally, Medzone Asia is committed to becoming the Amazon of Taiwan's pharmaceutical industry, using information technology and medical expertise to create an online and offline integrated smart medical ecosystem.
• It assists the hospitals in operation and management to fully implement the policy of no cash, emphasizing zero-contact pandemic prevention and reducing paper consumption.
• For other practical suggestions, please refer to the company's environmental protection policy.

5. Climate change assessment and response measurements

In the Global Risk Report released by the World Economic Forum, WEF the highest risk is extreme weather and natural disasters. In response to the impact of climate change on corporate operations and the disclosure of information that specifically presents climate change, other than reporting to the board of directors and the risk management committee to let the board of directors and senior management understand the impact of climate change on the company, since 2018, various departments of the company have also begun to conduct business inventory and risk identification for climate change, including direct or indirect impacts due to extreme weather, transformational impacts due to regulations, technology or market demand, and other cultural and social aspects of the company’s operating activities analyze the risks and opportunities caused. Based on the results, a risk management strategy plan is established as the core of climate change actions to estimate management costs and financial impacts. Through the aforementioned collected data, the company's climate change governance is strengthened, and financial connections are systematically evaluated to reduce risks and grasp business opportunities.

In terms of climate change impact assessment, it was mentioned earlier that the company is not a manufacturing company, so the relative risk of climate change impact is relatively low. However, as a member of the global life circle, we still need to respond and respond to climate change.

1. Adaptation strategies for climate change

• The related investment and construction of houses and buildings comply with the specifications of EEWH.
• When the company’s possible business development energy source policy rewards the replacement of equipment, it shall cooperate with the government subsidy policy and apply for relevant energy-saving subsidies.
• When the office area is renovated, the decoration shall comply with EEWH, and the office equipment that conforms to the energy-saving label shall be purchased.

2. Other actual measures to achieve the 2025 interim goals such as the fourth point mentioned above. (actions)

6. Interim goal conclusion

In the past years, the number of natural disasters have increased all over the world, for companies in Taiwan, whether they are impacted directly or indirectly, will inevitably be more or less affected under the globalized economic and trade model. With that being said, energy saving, carbon reduction and climate change response measurements must be responded to, and more importantly, implemented in daily operations. This is also the purpose of the company's 2025 interim goals. Since then, the company will continue to monitor the effectiveness of the implementation, and strengthen the awareness of personnel, and look forward to covering relevant actions in the community life circle of colleagues, together for the home of life and guarding the environmental rights for the next generation.

7. The company's energy-saving and carbon-reduction plan and climate change assessment and response measures will be reviewed and revised every year.
