Management

Gamania produced educational training videos on the topic of “Promoting Environmental Friendliness ” for the Group’s sustainability blueprint, with the content covering energy conservation and carbon reduction, water resources, waste management, and environmental regulations. The videos have been made available on Gamania’s E-learning website for online viewing at any time. Awareness-raising emails were also sent to all employees to deepen their understanding of and agreement to the environmental protection actions recognized by Gamania.

Environmental policy

In terms of the industry type, Gamania is not a company with high energy consumption and high pollution emissions; thus, its negative impact on the environment is relatively small. In order to fulfill sustainable corporate development and protect the market environment, we have formulated the “environmental and energy management policy” according to which we comply with environmental regulations, and also commit ourselves to reducing the Group’s impact on the natural environment through management mechanisms and increasing employees’ awareness of environmental protection and safety. Meanwhile, in response to the issues of global energy shortage and climate change, Gamania has incorporated the mindset of sustainability into its business management to carry on the promotion of environmental friendliness. We pass the Environmental Monitoring Report annually by the specialized  third party and cotinuously commit to drive:

  • Ensure compliance with energy regulations and prioritize procurement of energy-saving products.
  • Optimize the energy management system and continuously improve energy efficiency.
  • Cultivate environmental thinking and behavior, and implement the spirit of symbiosis with the environment.
  • Integrate external resources to form a sustainable development enterprise.

Energy management system

Gamania does not generate hazardous waste or air pollution in its business activities. However, the IT data centers still use a great amount of power to operate, which is why an energy monitoring and management system has been implemented in Gamania’s headquarters building. The design, operation, and analytical aspects of this system have been closely integrated to improve energy efficiency. Through complete and digitalized monitoring, the system performs a detailed diagnosis of the building’s energy consumption, analyzes the data gathered and compares it to the database to identify problems. These findings allow energy conservation measures to be devised and root causes to be traced for adjustments and improvements. This energy management and monitoring system monitors and senses the indoor air quality, temperature and humidity at the same time, helping maintain good air quality or remind employees to take timely responses.

To achieve digital transformation based on an ideal monitoring environment where management blind spots are avoided, Digicentre, as an agent for the 3D digital twin visualization platform of WeMB, has integrated corporate ITO with different systems, including access control, CCTV, cloud system, information security system, and environmental control system, directly staying on top of the monitoring status with digital twin technology to detect events in real-time. Currently, this technology is used in both the headquarters building in Neihu and the data center in Zhonghe to control the Group’s application of energy and resources by means of smart buildings and smart data centers, and to effectively manage energy hot spots, such as adjusting air conditioning use and troubleshooting.

【 Energy use and emissions 】

Gamania continues to strengthen energy management and closely monitor energy use. For electricity use, Gamania aims to improve energy efficiency and prioritizes environmental protection and energy conservation. Through building replanning and renovations, as well as continued communications with employees, the Company is committed to raising employees’ awareness of energy conservation. Beginning in 2023, Gamania comprehensively replaced aging fluorescent tubes with high-efficiency LED lighting. In 2024, the Company established a comprehensive environmental control system to strengthen environmental and energy management at its headquarters building. In 2025, per capita electricity consumption decreased by 1,404 kWh (approximately 5.05 GJ) from 2024, representing a decline of approximately 22.93%.Greenhouse gas emissions (Scope 2) decreased by 44.27% compared to the 2022 baseline year, which is well above the 6% reduction target.

  3. Following a review of the 2023 energy consumption data, certain energy items were found to have been misclassified and were therefore corrected. Natural gas consumption was revised from 1,831 m³ (61.29 GJ) to 0, while liquefied petroleum gas consumption was revised from 1,581.66 liters (43.91 GJ) to 3,412.66 liters (105.20 GJ). These corrections relate solely to the classification of energy types and associated data adjustments and do not affect total energy consumption or the related statistical results for 2023.

【 Carbon reduction in data centers 】

To achieve the Group’s 2030 carbon reduction target, when considering opportunities to lease Internet Data Center (IDC) facilities in cooperation with Chunghwa Telecom, an Internet Service Provider (ISP), Gamania carefully evaluates the data center environments provided by the service provider, including power supply, air conditioning, fire protection, security, environmental control systems, and renewable energy use. This ensures that overall operations align with environmentally friendly principles. The Group also increases the proportion of green electricity it procures year by year and works with its partners to advance the net-zero transition. Gamania’s own data centers improve overall energy efficiency by adopting cloud-based architectures, replacing aging and energy-intensive server equipment, and integrating smart real-time data center monitoring systems. The server racks also feature hot- and cold-aisle designs, effectively preventing the mixing of hot and cold airflows and improving air-conditioning efficiency and energy-saving performance. In 2025, green electricity accounted for more than 15% of the electricity used across IDC facilities operated in cooperation with ISP partners. Electricity consumption at Gamania’s own data centers also decreased by approximately 400,000 kWh from the previous year, while carbon emissions fell by approximately 25.8%. In addition, Gamania CloudForce’s Zhonghe Data Center and Chunghwa Telecom’s Guofen Fuguo Data Center operate under a coordinated model to support the planning and operation of the overall data center network and jointly optimize energy and water resource management. Through comprehensive infrastructure configurations and continuous optimization of data center design, Gamania not only improves energy efficiency and operating performance but also effectively reduces the environmental impact of carbon emissions. At the same time, dedicated CAGE areas are planned and established in accordance with data center design standards and customer needs to strengthen information and physical security management, thereby comprehensively enhancing service quality and sustainability value.

Notes:
1. The data in this table covers all (100%) of Gamania CloudForce’s data centers.
2. Carbon reductions are calculated using the 2025 electricity emission factor of 0.474 kg CO2e/kWh.

【 Water Resource Management 】

Gamania’s headquarters sources 100% of its water from the Taipei Water Department, supplied by the Feicui Dam. The water is mainly used for office facilities, including restrooms, the employee cafeteria, and air conditioning systems. Although overall water consumption is relatively limited, we continue to uphold the principles of sustainability by regularly assessing water use across our facilities to identify major sources of water consumption and formulate corresponding water-saving measures. The employee cafeteria accounts for the largest share of water use. To address this, we actively assess and introduce water-saving equipment and standardize operating processes such as dishwashing, gradually bringing Gamania’s water use under more effective control. In addition, Gamania does not use water for manufacturing processes or industrial purposes. The wastewater generated is mainly from daily use. The employee cafeteria is also equipped with wastewater treatment facilities, which properly treat wastewater to improve its quality before discharge. The cafeteria also regularly cleans its kitchen grease traps to prevent oil and grease from entering the public drainage system, thereby continuously improving overall wastewater quality.

Other water-saving measures include the installation of two atmospheric water generators, which collect moisture from the air and filter it into potable water, reducing water consumption. Gamania also continues to promote water conservation among employees and plans to develop a more comprehensive water resource management policy to reduce water consumption. As a result, per capita water consumption in 2025 decreased by 1.57 cubic meters compared with 2024.

Pollution prevention and waste management

【 Waste management 】

In terms of waste management plan, Gamania’s “environmental and energy management policy” stipulates that the inventory of total weight of waste should be performed every year, and relevant reduction measures and recycling plans should be developed to properly recycle and dispose of general and industrial waste and thereby lower the emissions of waste and pollutants. The waste of Gamania is mostly household waste, kitchen waste, as well as a small portion of waste batteries and 3C products. In 2025, Gamania generated approximately 32.58 metric tons of recyclable waste and 51.78 metric tons of general household waste, for a total of approximately 84.36 metric tons of waste. Various types of waste are entrusted to legally registered companies for waste cleaning operations. In addition, Gamania has set up an intelligent recycling machine “Bottle Man” and a battery machine “Ms Battery” as a “couple,” and gives the collected PET bottles and batteries to recyclers who in turn distribute them to circular manufacturers for resource recycling and reuse, in order to create new value of waste. At the same time, employees may also earn environmental protection points by recycling waste; the accumulated points can be exchanged for relevant eco-friendly goods of the Company’s cooperation projects, e.g. in response to Arbor Day, employees may exchange a bag of toilet paper certified by environmental protection labels with the points. In 2025, smart recycling machines collected 4,837 PET bottles, 41 plastic beverage cups, and 1,612 aluminum cans.
