How Taya Group Became the Steady Power Supporting Everyone /span>
2023/11/20
Daily electricity usage and renewable energy are not visible to the naked eye, yet they are crucial support pillars that enable various industries like manufacturing, healthcare, finance, and services to operate smoothly. Taya Group, dedicated to providing comprehensive energy chain services from generation, transmission, conversion, storage, to management, serves as the source of this steady power.
In response to global climate change, a sustainable wave is sweeping across the world, and Taiwan is no exception. In 2022, the National Development Council initiated four major transformations in the energy, industry, lifestyle, and social sectors. Among these, the "Energy Transformation" takes center stage. However, achieving a comprehensive energy transformation from the national level down to society and businesses, creating new energy industry chains, and discovering new business models and opportunities is no easy feat.
Established 68 years ago, Taya Group foresaw the importance of energy generation, transmission, conversion, storage, and management when planning the company's future blueprint in 2012. It is committed to providing a complete energy chain management solution to the market, recognizing the indispensable nature of each component.
The DNA of Human Care: Uniting Partners from Different Professional Backgrounds
Life relies on stable energy behind the scenes.
This year, Taya Group launched a new image video called "Stability Episode," illustrating the importance of stable energy behind the scenes. The video begins with a quote from the famous German philosopher Walter Benjamin: "The face of the historical angel is turned toward the past." This prompts us to ponder the timeline, recognizing that everyone lives in a situation where they can see the past but are uncertain about the future. When moving forward as if with our backs to the future, what empowers us to take the next step fearlessly?
In the video, athletes compete on the field, medical personnel escort patients in the emergency corridor, semiconductor factory workers focus on their laboratory work, and rescue teams execute missions in perilous situations... Each person is depicted within a halo-like structure, symbolizing the uncertainty of the next step that everyone faces. The central theme of the video revolves around the idea that in an uncertain future, Taya Group stands behind the public, offering a stable energy solution for tomorrow. It is this steady power that enables us to confront the uncertainties of the future.
Although everyday electricity usage and renewable energy may not be visible to the naked eye, they underpin various industries, hidden behind people. Despite many not fully grasping the source and importance of energy, Taya Group has quietly laid the groundwork for decades, preparing for numerous unseen moments ahead, and guiding our land toward sustainability step by step.
The Taya Group, which originated from electrical wires and magnet wire, has always focused on the energy transmission and conversion sectors. As the group approaches its 60th year, it has formulated the vision of becoming a "leading brand in energy integration," aiming to extend its reach beyond existing core businesses and identify new growth opportunities.
Back in 2011, well before Taiwan's ESG issues gained prominence, Taya established the "TAYA Pristine Homeland Foundation" to promote environmental friendliness through activities such as sponsoring eco-friendly events, promoting environmental education, nurturing eco-friendly talents, and conducting Green Inside Project. These initiatives aim to realize the concept of a friendly environment and create a better home for the next generation.
Taya is committed to being a catalyst for a friendly environment and a beautiful home, being the industry's first to obtain carbon footprint labeling and green factory certification as a lead-free manufacturer. Long before energy conservation and carbon reduction became trends, Taya rethought its resource usage and conducted greenhouse gas inventories early on, carefully monitoring equipment energy efficiency, replacing old equipment, and continuously investing in carbon reduction technologies and facilities. Their circular thinking has extended further, such as recycling and reusing waste cables and copper wires to reduce waste, or using new heat cycle technologies to recycle waste heat, thereby reducing environmental impacts.
In terms of product development, since 2008, Taya has been producing green wires with non-PVC coatings, earning the first-class Eco Label issued by the Ministry of Environment. The following year, their 161kV cross-linked PE cables received carbon footprint certification, and they developed lead-free PVC wires and cables that reduce environmental burdens from production to use, especially beneficial for future green building projects. Furthermore, Taya's subsidiaries have verified the carbon footprint of key products, employing energy management, energy-saving measures, increased production efficiency, reduced unit product electricity consumption, and adopting green energy to strengthen product decarbonization, silently contributing to a low-carbon grid.
In terms of business development, thanks to its focus on environmentally friendly renewable energy, Taya Group has visionary plans for a comprehensive energy chain framework. They strategically lay out a comprehensive energy solution, covering everything from energy generation upstream to storage and management downstream, considering every aspect. This includes establishing the Fishery and Electricity Symbiosis (FES) plant in Cigu and implementing energy storage systems, marking new territory for Taya. By 2023, with the official launch of the Cigu FES plant, they showcase the value of win-win-win situations, balancing power generation, aquaculture, and ecological functions. Their commitment to environmental preservation and local friendliness drives cities and industries toward sustainability. On the employee lifestyle front, every member of the company naturally develops environmentally friendly awareness as the company progresses. Through various environmental protection initiatives like beach cleaning, tree planting, and irregular trail maintenance activities, the growing momentum toward sustainability is clear. Over time, as employees align their knowledge with action, Taya's sustainable beliefs become more tangible.
Through numerous proactive measures, Taya has become the industry's first manufacturer to obtain carbon footprint labeling and green factory certification, ensuring that all decisions closely align with the group's vision.
Advancing Towards Sustainability, Fostering Prosperity and Symbiosis Among People, Society, and the Environment
Taya firmly believes that behind the perfection of the energy chain lies not only the expansion of enterprises but also the vision of driving prosperity and symbiosis among people, society, and the environment. Just like the Cigu FES plant, which balances power generation, aquaculture, and ecological functions, it is designed based on the needs of aquaculture farmers to jointly plan aquaculture and photovoltaics. This enhances the mutual benefits of FES and sustainable prosperity, preserves local mangrove forests and ecological waterways, prevents water temperatures from overheating in summer, and helps aquatic life withstand cold currents in winter. Ultimately, it achieves peaceful coexistence and mutual benefits between green energy and aquaculture.
Taya continues to improve the energy chain in every aspect of society, upholding the belief in mutual benefit. The group's influence continues to expand outward day by day, striving to create a beautiful and clean home for everyone.
