In 2024, Avalue did not experience any product failures or incidents that posed a hazard to consumer health, nor were there any instances of product or packaging material recalls. After the products are shipped to customers, the packaging materials are handled by the customers themselves.

In terms of energy saving achievements, Avalue actively responded to the design principles of the EU ERP 2013/617 specification in the product and service layers, adding “Avalue Design Rules for (EU) ERP 2013/617 Applications” and introducing 6 compliant product models in 2024, achieving an adoption rate of 33.3%. It is expected to be fully introduced to all x86 series products (excluding servers) in 2025. Through design optimization, energy consumption is effectively reduced.

Specific energy-saving designs include: the program development machine automatically shuts down after 4 hours of testing, reducing ineffective machine operation during personnel waiting periods, retaining the screen when the program is abnormal to facilitate reading, and automatically shutting down after testing to reduce manual operation and improve identification efficiency. These measures demonstrate the company’s introduction of energy-saving thinking into the product design stage and achieving energy conservation and carbon reduction goals.

Avalue also plans to retire 532 existing T5 lamps (3 2-foot tubes per lamp) in 2025 and replace them with LED flat lamps, reducing energy consumption by an average of 58.08 degrees per lamp per year, and is expected to save approximately 30,898.56 degrees of electricity annually. The Lide plant's chiller host was also replaced with a variable frequency device (activated for the first time after replacement in October 2024). Upgrading the air conditioning system to variable frequency equipment allows the operating speed to be adjusted according to demand, but because of its characteristics, it is difficult to directly calculate the energy saving benefits, so the difference is compared based on the total electricity consumption of the meter. The electricity consumption after the equipment replacement is approximately 30-40% less than in 2023.
