Green Management
Energy Resource Management
In response to global warming and environmental challenges, SKS has translated its commitment to “sustainable net zero” into concrete actions by establishing a 2030 net-zero emissions target, promoting green security services, and actively supporting environmental sustainability initiatives. Through these efforts, the Company aims to contribute to environmental protection while aligning its operations with long-term sustainability objectives.
In terms of energy management, SKS continues to implement various energy reduction measures, prioritizing the use of high-efficiency and energy-saving equipment. The Company also plans to upgrade its Energy Management System (EMS) to reduce energy waste and improve energy efficiency. Looking ahead, SKS intends to utilize idle rooftop space for the installation of on-site solar power generation systems for self-consumption. The Company will also continue to explore additional renewable energy sources with greater economic scale to support its energy sustainability and carbon reduction goals.
To ensure the effective implementation of energy management measures, SKS adopts a systematic approach to managing energy use. The Company follows the ISO 50001 standard as a reference framework for energy management and uses Energy Use Intensity (EUI) as its primary performance indicator to monitor and improve energy efficiency. An internal Energy Management Promotion Task Force has been established, chaired by the President, with designated convener and deputy convener serving as energy management representatives. Committee members consist of department heads responsible for planning, monitoring, and implementing energy management initiatives. The scope of application covers all employees, suppliers, and contractors, as well as all office locations and IT server room facilities across the Company.

Net Zero Initiative
In response to the United Nations net-zero target and Taiwan’s 2050 net-zero emissions strategy, SKS joined the Association for Net Zero Emissions Taiwan (ATNZE) in 2021 and, together with more than 20 domestic companies, co-founded the Taiwan Alliance for Net Zero Emission (TANZE). Through a two-stage approach of “commitment” and “achievement,” with third-party verification, the Company is advancing toward its 2050 net-zero target. In 2025, SKS received the Green-Level Net Zero Label from the Taiwan Institute for Sustainable Energy (TAISE) for the fourth consecutive year.
Introduce ISO 14064
SKS follows the Financial Supervisory Commission’s Sustainable Development Roadmap for TWSE/TPEx Listed Companies. In 2022, the Company introduced the ISO 14064-1 greenhouse gas inventory system and conducted Scope 1, 2, and 3 inventories covering the Neihu headquarters and all Taiwan operating sites. Company-wide greenhouse gas training was also launched in December of the same year. In October 2023, the parent company completed greenhouse gas inventories and verification for Scopes 1, 2, and 3, with subsidiaries targeted to complete inventory and verification by 2029.
To ensure effective implementation, SKS established a Greenhouse Gas Inventory Task Force. The Assistant Vice President of the Administrative Center serves as the representative responsible for approving inventory operations and related disclosures. The General Affairs Manager acts as the team lead, overseeing implementation resources, convening the internal verification team, and appointing a dedicated coordinator as the primary contact for all departments. This coordinator is responsible for preparing emission inventories and reports, coordinating external verification, and maintaining related procedures and documentation. Team members from various departments support emission source identification and activity data collection.
In 2025, the Company introduced a carbon management platform to independently conduct greenhouse gas inventories and manage related data, improving accuracy and efficiency while ensuring complete disclosure in compliance with regulatory requirements and third-party verification standards.

| Approximate CO₂ emissions (total volume) | 955.79 | 619.61 | 894.91 |
- Inventory Boundary: The water consumption of the headquarters in Neihu.
- The CO₂ emission equivalent per unit of water consumption is referenced from the 2024 emission factor for Taipei Water provided by the Product Carbon Footprint Information Platform, at 9.50E-2 kgCO₂e per unit of water consumed.
- SKS is in the service industry, and water consumption is primarily for daily use by employees and a small portion for use by visiting customers. Additionally, there is no wastewater generated from production processes. The current water usage data shows that the headquarters building and the operation sites are not in areas facing pressures for water resources.
- The increase in water consumption in 2025 compared to 2024 was due to a domestic water pump malfunction (April 9, 2025 – October 2, 2025), which led to higher water usage.
- Starting in 2025, the Company changed the emission factor used for CO₂ emissions per unit of water consumption from that of the Taipei Water Department to the Taipei Water (2024) emission factor published on the Carbon Footprint Information Platform.
- Source: Carbon Footprint Information Platform.
- The originally disclosed unit for water consumption in 2023 and 2024 was incorrectly stated as “million liters” and has been corrected to “cubic meters (m³).” This adjustment is limited to a unit correction and does not affect the data. Historical data have been restated accordingly to maintain comparability.
