Taking 2020 as the base year, the Company has set a target of 42% reduction in 2030 and net zero for 2050.
Regarding the greenhouse gas emissions of Scope 1 and Scope 2 within the Group's operating boundary, the Company adopts four major means to reduce greenhouse gas emissions: energy saving, direct purchase of green power, green power construction, and investment in the purchase of green power certificates. In order to promote carbon reduction in operations, the Company sets annual energy-saving indicators at the beginning of each year, and adopts incentive policies and information platform sharing to promote energy-saving technology upgrades among business groups and subsidiaries.
The Group continues to promote and implement energy-saving projects such as compressed air leakage management and high-efficiency air conditioning machine room renovation, continues to increase the installed capacity of rooftop and ground-mounted solar power stations through self-construction and acquisitions, and increase the usage and ratio of clean energy. In March of 2024, we established Kai Hung Energy Co., Ltd. with CDIB Capital, to lead the investment in the sustainable green energy industry and provide the much-needed green power for enterprises.
To achieve net-zero emissions across the value chain, the Company actively carries out diverse carbon reduction guidance demonstration projects across its supply chain. At the initial stage of the projects, the Company engaged in in-depth discussions with suppliers on their carbon reduction plans. Through on-site supplier visits and production process surveys, the Company assessed carbon emissions based on workshop equipment and energy usage, helping suppliers identify carbon reduction potential and plan specific carbon reduction pathways. Subsequently, the Company established standardized guidance procedures (SOPs) to continuously track and review the implementation of carbon reduction measures. Through experience exchange meetings and results-sharing mechanisms, the Company promotes the exchange of carbon reduction experience and resource sharing among suppliers. Through systematic analysis of various carbon reduction outcomes, the Company gradually identifies carbon reduction solutions that have delivered significant results, and continues to optimize its supply chain carbon reduction strategies to help suppliers advance their green transformation.
To further expand supply chain carbon reduction actions, in 2025, the Company launched the “Hon Hai Low-Carbon Supply Chain Transformation Promotion Program.” Through a system platform, the Company collected and inventoried supplier carbon emissions-related data, and provided carbon reduction guidance and data collection support to seven key suppliers. A total of 12 on-site visits and surveys were completed, helping suppliers advance 25 carbon reduction projects, with total carbon reductions reaching 16,381.47 tCO2e. At the same time, the Company held 3 carbon reduction results-sharing sessions to facilitate the exchange of carbon reduction experience among supply chain enterprises. Through promotion via news media and official platforms, the Company also enhanced the influence of its supply chain carbon reduction initiatives.
In addition, in 2024, the Company published its first “Supplier Responsibility Report,” marking a first among Taiwanese enterprises and demonstrating the Company’s leading practices in supply chain sustainability management and low-carbon transformation.
Regarding the greenhouse gas emissions of Scope 1 and Scope 2 within the Group's operating boundary, the Company adopts four major means to reduce greenhouse gas emissions: energy saving, direct purchase of green power, green power construction, and investment in the purchase of green power certificates. In order to promote carbon reduction in operations, the Company sets annual energy-saving indicators at the beginning of each year, and adopts incentive policies and information platform sharing to promote energy-saving technology upgrades among business groups and subsidiaries.
The Group continues to promote and implement energy-saving projects such as compressed air leakage management and high-efficiency air conditioning machine room renovation, continues to increase the installed capacity of rooftop and ground-mounted solar power stations through self-construction and acquisitions, and increase the usage and ratio of clean energy. In March of 2024, we established Kai Hung Energy Co., Ltd. with CDIB Capital, to lead the investment in the sustainable green energy industry and provide the much-needed green power for enterprises.
To achieve net-zero emissions across the value chain, the Company actively carries out diverse carbon reduction guidance demonstration projects across its supply chain. At the initial stage of the projects, the Company engaged in in-depth discussions with suppliers on their carbon reduction plans. Through on-site supplier visits and production process surveys, the Company assessed carbon emissions based on workshop equipment and energy usage, helping suppliers identify carbon reduction potential and plan specific carbon reduction pathways. Subsequently, the Company established standardized guidance procedures (SOPs) to continuously track and review the implementation of carbon reduction measures. Through experience exchange meetings and results-sharing mechanisms, the Company promotes the exchange of carbon reduction experience and resource sharing among suppliers. Through systematic analysis of various carbon reduction outcomes, the Company gradually identifies carbon reduction solutions that have delivered significant results, and continues to optimize its supply chain carbon reduction strategies to help suppliers advance their green transformation.
