• • Installation of temperature control knobs on chillers and setting digital codes to regulate air conditioning fan operation.
• • Maintenance of sealed doors and windows to prevent air conditioning leakage and heat infiltration, thereby reducing air conditioning load.
• • Utilization of curtains or sun protection film on windows to mitigate solar radiation and indoor heat gain.
• • Shutdown of air conditioning systems and closure of meeting room doors after use.

Power

• • Enforcement of a policy to power off computers and electrical appliances during prolonged periods of inactivity to mitigate standby losses.
• • Prioritization of equipment selection with energy-saving labels and activation of automatic sleep modes for water dispensers and office machines to optimize power usage.
• • Regular monitoring and adjustment of electricity contract capacity based on recorded electricity consumption.

Computer

• • Enforcement of a policy to power down monitor and hard drive of a personal computer after 5 minutes of idle time and entering standby mode after 30 minutes.
• • Public announcement on shutting down computers at the end of each workday.

Elevator

• • Opt for stairs over elevators whenever possible (as the office is mostly located on lower floors).

Others

• • Enforcement of 5S management principles.
• • Prompt reporting of any water leakage from faucets or toilets to the management department.
• • Reduction of office machines to conserve standby power and optimize space utilization.

Papers

• • Default printers to black and white printing and discourage unnecessary color printing.
• • Procure paper with lower grammage to minimize resource consumption.
• • Install paper recycling bins in offices to facilitate paper reuse and recycling.
• • Promote efficient paper usage by encouraging the use of blank sides for notes and drafts.
• • Emphasize electronic file storage over physical printing to reduce paper consumption.
• • Choose electronic distribution of meeting and training materials to minimize paper usage.
• • Communicate announcements to employees via email and utilize the Electronic Information Portal (EIP) to minimize paper-based communications.

Greening

• • Enhance office environments by introducing potted plants in designated areas to create a greener workplace.

Recycling

• • Establish recycling zones for sorting and collecting various recyclable materials such as paper, glass, metal, aluminum, plastics, and batteries.
• • Enforce proper labeling and disposal procedures for recyclable waste.
• • Partner with certified vendors for the responsible recycling of electronic waste, such as computers and monitors.

Stationery

• • Encourage the use of reusable stationery items, such as binder clips and staple removers, over single-use stationery.

Tableware

• • Provide ceramic cups in office pantries to encourage reusable alternatives to disposable cups.
• • Encourage employees to bring their own eco-friendly utensils to minimize reliance on disposable tableware.

Others

• • Recycle cardboard boxes, bubble wrap, etc., for reuse.
• • Promote remote communication technologies, such as conference calls and video conferencing, to reduce carbon emissions associated with employee travel and enhance meeting efficiency.
• • Encourage employees to carry or collectively deliver documents between (sub)companies to minimize transportation-related carbon emissions.
• • Enforce a no-smoking policy in all office and building spaces to reduce indoor air pollution and promote employee health and well-being.
