Water Resource Management
In recent years, due to the impact of extreme climate, the pattern of rainfall around the world has also changed, resulting in no rainfall for a long time or very concentrated and large amounts of rainfall, and resulting in droughts or floods. Ruentex strengthens the promotion of reasonable and appropriate use of water resources to achieve the goal of saving, reduce the impact on the environment, cherish water resources, and maintain a good balance between economy and ecology.
The main source of water for Ruentex’s operations is Taipei Water Supply Office, and its operating sites are all located in areas with low water stress risks. In addition, the Company conducts an annual inventory of the water use status of each operating site as a future internal management indicator.
| million liters | 2023 | 2024 | Compared with the base year % |
|---|---|---|---|
| Water withdrawal | 14.04 | 14.43 | ↓50% |
- Note 1: Water withdrawal is calculated based on the water bill
- Note 2: The water intake data included the headquarters and Zhonghe branch
- Note 3: The water withdrawal for 2023 and 2024 has been assured by Deloitte Taiwan.
Expected Goal： Based on 2022, reduce water consumption by 5% to 10% annually over the next 5 years.
Specific measures：Since our company’s main business is the sale of clothing and department store goods, we primarily use water-saving equipment as our main method of water conservation, supplemented by energy-saving promotion. We hope that employees and consumers can work together to cooperate. Water-saving measures already implemented: Sensor-operated faucets and water-saving valves have been installed in all water-using areas within our operating locations; urinal water-saving devices have been installed; and toilet flushing has been adjusted to the optimal water flow rate.
