Green Building

GINTECH obtained the bronze-level Green Building Level for Plant Site A at Hsinchu Science Park from the Ministry of the Interior in February 2009 for passing five of seven indicators in the green building assessment conducted by the Green Building Review Board . These five indicators include the greenery indicator, water resource indicator, energy saving indicator, CO<sub>2</sub> emission reduction indicator and sewage and garbage improvement indicator.

  • Greenery Indicator—Landscape Plantation
  • Water Resource Indicator—Water Saving Mark, Rainwater Collection System
  • Energy Saving Indicator—Exterior Wall, Chiller and Lighting Fixtures
  • CO2 Emission Reduction Indicator—Lightweight Building Materials
  • Sewage and Garbage Improvement Indicator—Evidence of Sewer Connection, Rainwater and Sewage Separation, Garbage Classification

Supporting the government’s energy-saving and carbon reduction policy and creating a living environment for sustainable development, GINTECH has developed a series of practical energy saving programs on the plant sites and installed multifunctional green streetlamps and solar floor lamps to provide landscape lighting that is powered by solar energy and wind power.

Sustainable Environment Validation

Organization’s Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Inventory was acquired through the ISO 14064-1 Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Verification Statement on 1 June 2011.
Gintech established a complete GHG emissions inventory for Plant A of the Hsinchu Science Park conformance with ISO 14064 principles and GHG Protocol requirements. The inventory included the qualitative and quantitative inventories of Scope 1 (direct emissions), Scope 2 (energy indirect emissions), and the primary emission source quantitative inventory of Scope 3 (other indirect emissions).
Gintech has passed a third party verification of reported GHG emissions of Gintech to establish conformance with ISO 14064 principles on 1 June 2011.

Product Carbon Footprint was acquired through the PAS 2050:2008 Product Carbon Footprint Validation Statement on 24 October 2011.
Using an internationally certified precision system, Gintech tracked and monitored information on the environmental impact from the manufactured and distribution of solar cells.
In 2011, Gintech followed the PAS 2050:2008 principles to conduct the carbon footprint verification for 6-inch solar cells. Gintech has passed a third party verification to establish conformance with PAS 2050 principles on 24 October 2011.
