In addition to the established energy-saving plan, energy-saving measures implemented by
Nuvoton in 2021 also saw the replacement of the rotor of the CDA-6 air compressor, and it isestimated that the electricity consumption savings will be about 79,200 kWh.

In 2021, for example, the cooling method provided for the two etching machines was changed
from CW to PCW; the resultant recovery can reduce daily water consumption by about 15
tons, which in turn accounts for about 1.2%; over time, the cumulative annual water savings
can be as high as 5,000 tons.
