Экологические инициативы

04/09/2012

In 2010 GIGABYTE launched the "Green Action Plan" for organizing activities that emphasize the importance of conservation, carbon reduction and environment protection. Through the activities, employees' environmental awareness as well as the knowledge, attitudes and skills required for environmental protection can be enhanced and incorporated into their work and everyday life. The Green Action Plan represents the new GIGABYTE culture, promotes the concept of Eco-Design to all employees, creates new value from green products and supports the search for sustainable corporation and environment development.

The Green Action Plan was very successful in 2011. The total amount of CO2 emissions from the activities during the year were reduced by 86,132 kg and 62,439 hours of environmental education were hosted. 322.5 kg of maritime waste were collected in beach clean-up events, giving employees the opportunity to personally take part in improving the seashore environment and review the causes of maritime pollution. A clean and natural seashore is essential to the natural development of the seaside, littoral belt and maritime creatures. Only then can the rich and diverse maritime biological resources of Taiwan's seashore be restored. A total of 614 trees were planted as part of tree-planting events and will absorb a total of more than 6 tonnes of carbon emissions each year. Forestation is one of the most effective and low-cost methods for regulating the climate and protecting the land. Using indigenous plants of Taiwan for forestation ensures that soil and water resources can be preserved and ecological sustainability can be assured. At all company seminars and events during the year, a total of 9,870 meat-based lunch boxes were replaced by vegetarian lunch boxes.

Green Ideas
Employees were invited to submit their green ideas in the three categories of "Energy Conservation", "Environment Protection" and "Green Product". Employees were then asked to vote on all proposals. Notebook computers were awarded to the top five proposals, and those that vote also received a gift as well for encouraging all employees to take an interest in green issues. The voting results can also be used by GIGABYTE as a reference for future environmental improvements and product designs. This not only increases employees' identification with green ideas initiatives but also encourages them to embrace environmentalism from the heart.
