環境共好 Environmental Good

我們是以佛教為核心精神的慈善組織，長期推廣茹素行動，提倡心靈環保、身體的健康環保，隨著相關研究報告提出，進一步驗證蔬食也能讓地球更好。在COP28，我們與合作組織所共同努力倡議多年的「糧食系統轉型」，終於被峰會主辦方重視和認同，其中我們相信「純素飲食」可以大幅度減少食品生產對環境所造成的損害。 We are a Buddhist charity that has long promoted vegetarianism to protect the environment and improve human health. Recent research has confirmed that vegetarianism can indeed make the earth a better place. At COP28, the food system transformation that we and our partners have advocated for many years was finally recognized by the summit organizers. We believe that a vegetarian diet can significantly reduce the environmental damage caused by food production.

低碳營運中長期計畫 Medium- and Long-Term Low-Carbon Program

每年持續進行既有節能措施及能源管控外，亦透過ISO14064-1:2018、ISO50001檢視環境目標達成狀況，尤其針對能源、水資源、廢棄物進行管理，以期降低各營運據點對環境與氣候所帶來的風險與影響。 In addition to the ongoing implementation of existing energy conservation and management measures, we review the achievement status of environmental objectives through the ISO14064-1:2018 and ISO50001 framework. We place top emphasis on energy, water resource, and waste management to minimize environmental and climate risks and impacts of our operating sites.

用電管理 Power Consumption Management

我們的主要能源消耗來自於辦公室與活動用電，其中以空調、照明、資訊設備使用為主。為有效管理用電，以了解各據點及活動使用狀況，即時掌握用電變化趨勢，其中包括用電調控、老舊空調及燈具汰換等；同時鼓勵優化辦公空間及活動區域用電設備、提升能源使用效率。2024年起，將導入ISO50001能源管理系統，由北區的臺北分會及桃園分會等兩處作為示範據點，未來亦逐步擴展至其他據點優化管控作業，持續進行節能措施評估，並透過使用再生能源、逐步建制能管系統以及研擬評估綠電採購等作為，降低每年用電量。 Our office operations and charity activities (air conditioning, lighting, and information appliances) account for the majority of our energy consumption. We prioritize effective power consumption management to gain a clear understanding of power usage conditions of operating sites and activities and maintain a real-time grasp of power consumption trends. This also includes power consumption controls, replacement of obsolete air conditioning and lighting devices, and enhancement of energy use efficiency. At the same time, we encourage the optimization of electrical equipment in office spaces and activity areas and improve energy efficiency. The ISO 50001 Energy Management System has been adopted in 2024 with the Taipei and Taoyuan Branches in northern Taiwan as demonstration sites. In the future, we will gradually expand the scope of our optimized energy management and control operations to include other operating sites. The feasibility of energy conservation measures will be assessed on an ongoing basis. The ultimate goal is to decrease annual power consumption through renewable energy, gradual installation of energy management systems, and deliberation on and assessment of green power procurement.

再生能源使用：建置屋頂太陽能發電系統 Renewable Energy Use: Installation of Rooftop Solar Power Systems

我們於全臺北、中、南、東區共 15 處會所屋頂設置太陽能光電設備，其中三重及板橋靜思堂已於 2020 年開始運轉發電。截至2023年底，其他 13處設置皆已陸續完成，並以每年提供389萬度電以躉售方式回饋給臺電，除了上述15個據點外，我們仍逐步評估可建構之據點，以提高自身再生能源利用率，預計未來2027年逐步朝向自發轉供或自發自用，同步響應2050淨零相關目標。 We have installed solar power facilities on the rooftops of 15 Tzu Chi offices spanning northern, central, southern, and eastern Taiwan. The rooftop facilities of the Sanchong and Banqiao Jing Si Halls have been operational and generating electricity since 2020. By the end of 2023, the remaining 13 systems were successively completed. These facilities generate a total of 3.89 GWh, which is sold to Taipower under the FIT (Feed-in Tariff) scheme. In addition to these 15 locations, we are assessing the feasibility of adding similar installations at other sites to increase our renewable energy usage rate. Our goal is to transition to self-use or wheeling agreements for self-generated electricity by 2027, in line with our 2050 Net-Zero target.

綠色採購與在地採購 Green and Localized Procurement

為降低環境衝擊，落實環境友善理念，我們提倡綠色採購進而帶動綠色生產鏈，並依營運所需優先採用具環保、節能、能源之星、節水、綠建材、FSC永續林業及減碳等標章之產品。另購入之公務車亦以節能油電車或純電車為考量，並透過採購與供應商管理，發揮綠色影響力。此外，亦優先選用在地供應商，實際支持低碳永續商品與在地企業，同時亦降低採購之風險。 To mitigate environmental impacts and implement eco-friendly concepts, we advocate green procurement and thereby foster green production chains. In addition, we give preference to Green Mark, Energy Label, Energy Star, Water-Saving Mark, Green Building Material, FSC, and Carbon Reduction Mark-certified products. When purchasing company vehicles, we only consider fuel-efficient hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) and electric vehicles (EVs). We also strive to maximize our green influence through procurement and supplier management. We give priority to local suppliers to support low-carbon, sustainable products and local enterprises and minimize procurement risks.
