Eclat has made it a priority to become more energy-efficient. We use energy-saving strategies and projects, among other efforts, to track and reduce our environmental impact across our operations.
Reducing our energy consumption
Eclat regularly analyzes and reviews its energy consumption to reduce and manage the consumption intensity. In 2024, the total energy usage in the Fabric Division increased by 6.6% compared to 2023 and in the Garment Division increased by 18.6%. Eclat continues to promote various energy-saving projects, reducing energy use and intensity to reduce our emissions globally.

Reducing our CO₂ emissions
Strengthening our climate resilience.
We increased the total emissions of Scope 1 and Scope 2 in 2024 by 7,212.76 tons of CO₂e compared with 2023, and the absolute emissions increased by 6.07%.
As of 2024, Eclat was still not the subject of critical interrogation and login control. The voluntary check is based on ISO14064-1:2018. Scope 3, the other indirect greenhouse gas emissions at each site, are selected and calculated according to data availability.
In 2024, Eclat’s total installed solar capacity reached 7,955 kWp, a 6.6-fold increase compared with 2022. Annual generation was 6.64 million kWh, reducing 3,909 metric tons of CO₂e. Solar systems have been installed at four production sites and the headquarters, with an additional 3,000 kWp from the Vietnam Phase II project. Further expansion is planned by 2025.

Scope 1 refers to direct emissions of greenhouse gas.
Scope 2 refers to indirect energy emissions of greenhouse gas.
Scope 3 refers to other indirect greenhouse gas emissions (including employees’ overseas travel, waste removal, and disposal, upstream raw materials, raw materials, product transportation, etc.).
Eclat follows ISO 14064-1:2006 and the Greenhouse Gas Emission Coefficient Management Table 6.0.4 from the Environmental Protection Administration to calculate its greenhouse gas emissions, including the six main gases (carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, hydrofluorocarbon, perfluorinated carbon, and sulphur hexafluoride) and nitrogen trifluoride. These calculations are used to determine the company’s emission coefficient and Global Warming Potential.
Eclat adopts the operational control approach while summarizing greenhouse gas emissions and therefore, 100% of the emissions in the inventory are recognized.
Sources of the Scope 1 direct greenhouse gas emissions include natural gas, bituminous coal, diesel, and gasoline.
The electricity emission coefficients for facilities in Taiwan are determined by the Bureau of Energy under the Ministry of Economic Affairs, while those for facilities in Vietnam are determined by the Meteorology, Water, and Climate Change Bureau under the Energy and Environment Department of Vietnam. The emission coefficient for externally purchased steam is provided by Ta-Yuan Cogen Co., Ltd.

Solar power is based on an annual generation of 33,924 KWH and is calculated with the solar power carbon reduction coefficient announced by the Vietnamese Government (605/KTTVBDKH-GSPT).
Taiwan’s electricity emission factor: 0.495 kg CO2e/kWh; Vietnam: 0.7221 kg CO2e/kWh; Indonesia: 0.877 kg CO2e/kWh.
The calculation method involves taking the reduction in electricity usage compared to the previous year, and converting it to a carbon reduction amount using a coefficient
