Risks
Regulatory
Currently, international and domestic laws and regulations have not had significant
direct impact on CTCI, and we continue to monitor regulatory changes.
Physical
In addition to potential construction delay and property loss, extreme climate and
natural disasters may also cause casualties.
Other
In response to global trends, clients' technical feedback to energy-saving in
construction will directly influence CTCI's development strategies. If we fail to meet
clients' needs, our revenue can be severely affected.
Opportunities
Regulatory
When a client is limited by greenhouse has regulations, we can offer green
construction technologies that are more energy-efficient and eco-friendly.
Physical
When extreme climate intensifies, CTCI has high-quality construction technologies
that can minimize the loss caused by natural disasters for clients, increasing their
market competitiveness.
Other
The incineration plants operated by our Environment & Resources Business
Operations department sold electricity to Taiwan Power Company, increasing our
revenue while minimizing the use of fossil fuels.

Risks and Opportunities
Because CTCI is a construction technology service company, it has not
been significantly or directly affected by legal and regulatory risks resulting
from climate change. However, to the clients of the company, regulatory total
amount control and energy efficiency requirements, as well as international
treaties and regulations, may apply. Therefore, CTCI has been committed to
enhancing its competitiveness by offering more energy efficient and eco-
friendly green engineering technologies, which is also the greatest opportunity
in global climate change. In terms of construction sites, main risks come from
extreme climate and natural disasters. In addition to potential construction
delay and property loss, casualties are also possible.
Moreover, the incineration plants in Taiwan operated by our Environment &
Resources Business Operations department sold 872,685 MWh of electricity
to Taiwan Power Company. According to public information by Taipei Power
Company, the monthly average household power consumption in 2015 was
291 kWh, meaning that the power we generated could supply around 250,000
household for a year. Converting our power output to CO
2
reduction, we
reduced 454,669 tons of CO2e.
