Despite Earth's abundant resources, human civilization's development has led to their dwindling availability. As a globally operating enterprise, MA-tek views itself as a world citizen concerned about our shared home—the Earth. Not only does MA-tek continue to promote internal awareness, but the Company also mandates that all department heads lead by example, advocating for conservation and resource recycling in their daily lives to contribute to our planet. |

Energy Saving and Carbon Reduction Management |
|
As a high-tech facility for precision instruments, MA-tek monitors energy usage across its laboratories worldwide and found most of our energy usage can be attributed to electricity used in laboratories and gas used by company cars. In Taiwan alone, our seven laboratories used up a total energy of 58,778.63 gigajoules in 2023, marking an increase due to expanding business demands to support company growth. Over the past three years, however, there has been a decreasing trend in energy intensity, meaning that with each additional dollar of revenue, the energy consumed would be gradually reduced.
In 2024, MA-tek formally adopted the ISO 14064-1:2018 standard for greenhouse gas inventory. Using 2023 as the base year for our first annual inventory, MA-tek established a mechanism to track greenhouse gas emissions, identifying emission hotspots, and obtaining a third-party verification statement. |

| In 2023, MA-tek completed the replacement of all energy-saving LED lighting equipment. The laboratory transitioned from traditional three-wavelength fluorescent tubes to energy-efficient LED tubes, totaling 2,000 units replaced. |

Water Resource Management |
|
MA-tek is situated within the Science Park, with all laboratories and facilities sourcing water from municipal supplies, rather than surface water. According to publicly available data from the World Water Institute, MA-tek's water sources in Taiwan are not located in areas under water stress. Due to its focus on high-tech testing services rather than conventional manufacturing or production, the laboratory's water usage is minimal, primarily for administrative purposes such as drinking and restroom facilities, similar to typical office use. Additionally, regarding wastewater management, MA-tek falls within the Science Park's administrative area, discharging wastewater into the park's sewage system. The Company conducts regular checks on wastewater to ensure compliance with park administration standards. |

Water Saving Measures |
Although MA-tek's overall water usage is only moderate, the Company is nonetheless committed to sustainable development as a long-term operational goal, actively managing water resources and reducing unnecessary consumption. Through various initiatives such as verbal directives from management, posting water-saving slogans in laboratories and offices, installing water-efficient faucets, and conducting regular pipeline inspections, MA-tek not only enhances water efficiency but also raises awareness among employees about conserving water resources. These efforts contribute to advancing MA-tek towards greener operations.
