As an example of the supplier engagement programme development, we initiated a collaboration with wind turbine manufacturer Siemens Gamesa to use recycled glass fibres for certain new wind turbine blades at our Greater Changhua 2b and 4 offshore wind farms in Taiwan. The intended outcome of our supplier engagement and procurement strategy is to have a firm set of circularity-related supplier requirements in place within the next four to five years. For selected components, recycled materials have already been introduced as a sourcing evaluation criterion, ensuring our gradual transition away from the use of virgin resources.
