Spirox is committed to energy conservation, carbon emissions reduction, water conservation, and greenhouse gas emission reduction policies.
Spirox Facility Department has stipulated “Greenhouse Gas Inventory Management Procedures” and “Business Waste Management Procedures. The energy conservation, carbon emissions reduction, water conservation, and greenhouse gas emission reduction policies are disclosed on Spirox website.
- Spirox’s primary working environment is in the office building, where it does not generate a significant amount of air pollution and wastewater. The majority of carbon emissions come from electricity usage. Spirox’s self-managed greenhouse gas emissions inventory falls into Scope 1, which is minuscule and disclosed as 0 emissions. For Scope 2, a reduction target of 3% from the 2022 to 2023 has been set, with the following measures in place:

- Disseminate energy-saving policies and encouraging employees to turn energy conservation and carbon emissions reduction into action, integrating these principles into their work to ultimately reduce greenhouse gas emissions:
- Main switch for lights and air conditioners which make it easier for employees to turn off the power when leaving off to save energy.
- Choose nationally certified energy-efficient appliances such as chilling machines, air conditioners, refrigerators, and water dispensers to reduce power consumption.
- Adjust the air conditioning to a temperature of 26 degrees Celsius to reduce power load.
- Use energy-efficient and environmentally friendly lighting fixtures for office illumination, which save energy and provide a stable light source, protecting employees' vision.
- Encourage employees to turn off lights and unplug computers when not in use, and promote taking the stairs instead of elevators.
- Install curtains to lower indoor temperatures.
