Arcadyan was selected as one of Business Weekly's Top 100 Carbon Competitive Companies for 2024. The award ceremony was held on November 27 at the Taipei International Convention Center, with Executive Vice President Mike Lu representing the company to receive the award. This selection was conducted by a panel of industry and academic experts from the Risk Society and Policy Research Center at National Taiwan University. The evaluation was based on internationally recognized carbon disclosure frameworks and industry classifications, analyzing publicly disclosed data and questionnaires from listed companies in Taiwan. This is the only indicator survey in the country that links "carbon" with corporate operational performance.
In response to the global trend towards net-zero carbon emissions, Arcadyan feels a significant responsibility. The company views carbon reduction as a corporate social responsibility and actively integrates it into its core strategies. Strategically, in 2024, Arcadyan passed the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) review for its science-based reduction targets. It plans to achieve 100% renewable energy use for production by 2030, gradually promoting energy transformation and low-carbon operations. Product-wise, all Arcadyan products comply with the EU Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive. The company has also established an internal cloud-based platform for environmentally friendly materials, implementing a circular economy to reduce waste. These efforts concretely transform carbon reduction strategies and actions into a competitive advantage for the company.
Net-zero is a game that no one can avoid; carbon competitiveness will create a gap between Arcadyan and its competitors. Only by facing challenges together can we create a sustainable future. In 2023, Arcadyan launched the "Go Green with Arcadyan" supplier carbon reduction project, building a net-zero transformation value chain. By leading smaller companies, Arcadyan aims to minimize carbon emissions in the product manufacturing and operational processes.
Being selected as one of the Top 100 Carbon Competitive Companies is not only a recognition of Arcadyan's carbon reduction efforts but also a significant motivation for the company to continue progressing towards its net-zero goals. In the future, Arcadyan will keep integrating resources, promoting innovative carbon reduction measures, and developing environmentally friendly products to build a sustainable future together.
