Creating Positive Environmental Impact

MERRY's manufacturing processes are predominantly assembly-based and do not involve process water. Consequently, there is no generation or discharge of industrial wastewater. All water intake is sourced from third-party tap water, and the generated domestic wastewater is collected at local wastewater treatment plants for compliant treatment, thereby not posing a significant impact on the water resource environment. Water resource risk identification
is conducted using the World Resources Institute (WRI )'s water risk assessment tool, AQUEDUCT. Two sites, MEVN and MSCS － Caohu Plant, are located in waterstress areas ( High & Extremely High ), while all other sites are in low-risk areas.

Based on the results of water risk identification and relevant international initiatives and trends, MERRY Electronics further refined its water resource management policy in 2024 to be more comprehensive, established a water resource evaluation mechanism, regularly inventoried, and implemented wastewater tracking and monitoring; To promote water resource efficiency, relevant quantitative performance targets have been established, and water-saving equipment and water collection systems are continuously optimized, striving to achieve water resource sustainability.

The Taiwan headquarters office deeply embeds water conservation principles into the daily work of its employees, not only by comprehensively installing water-saving and sensor faucets, but also by establishing a rainwater harvesting system for irrigating the greenery on the premises. Overseas locations concurrently implement diverse water conservation measures: MECL has implemented a ''Wastewater Treatment Control Regulation'' to prevent water pollution, and has installed fully automatic dishwashers, smart water meters, and water-saving faucets in employee living areas; In 2024, MEVN newly installed a shutoff valve at the tap water intake, resulting in annual water savings of approximately 0.5 ML. Additionally, wastewater from the pure water system is purified and reused for restaurant cleaning, contributing 1 ML in annual water savings ; METC continuously optimizes water pressure regulation, reducing water discharge while ensuring normal equipment operation.In 2024, it further strengthened regular clearing of drainage pipes to prevent water accumulation overflow and waste caused by repeated flushing ; MSCS implements regular inspections of water-using equipment to promptly identify and address leakage issues.

Comprehensive environmental management is conducted through the ISO 14001 Environmental Management System as the guiding process. Regarding waste, adhering to the principles of reduction, recycling, and reuse, control and tracking are implemented through the group's internal waste management procedures and regulations. Hazardous/non-hazardous industrial waste is entrusted to qualified contractors for compliant treatment according to local regulations, while recyclables and general domestic waste are entirely handed over to authorized units for collection and disposal. In 2024, Merry Electronics began planning for UL 2799 Zero Waste to Landfill certification, which is expected to be introduced to all facilities in 2025, to strengthen waste management in an environmentally responsible manner and gradually achieve the goal of zero waste.
