【Business Weekly】2024 Carbon Competitiveness Benchmark: SUNON’s Path to Sustainable Transformation
For every 1 kWh of electricity SUNON uses, it saves 13 kWh for the world! With “Carbon Competitiveness” growing for three consecutive years, how are they advancing with the sustainability flywheel?
Vice Executive President of SUNON, Wu Chin-Tsz, stated: “Sustainable development is not out of reach. By starting small and persisting with heart, your company can bring positive change to the planet!” In the future, SUNON will continue to focus on green sustainability and supply chain decarbonization, deepening low-carbon strategies to realize the ESG vision with global partners.
Amid the global wave of Net Zero emissions, how can companies balance profitability with environmental responsibility? SUNON provides a concrete answer. In the “Carbon Competitiveness 100” selection by Business Weekly in 2024, SUNON stood out among 447 participating companies in Taiwan. This honor represents not only excellent carbon reduction results but also how SUNON transforms energy-saving technology into core competitiveness, achieving the industry impact of “1 kWh used to save 13 kWh.”
Data-Driven Green Performance
SUNON’s carbon reduction is practiced through precise data management rather than just slogans. According to the latest survey, SUNON successfully achieved a carbon reduction rate of 13.4%. Most impressive is the energy-saving contribution of its products: over the past three years, high-efficiency cooling fans and motors developed by SUNON have saved more than 1.1 billion kWh of electricity for global customers. This approach—incorporating sustainability into design from the source—is the key to SUNON‘s long-term position in the Carbon Competitiveness Top 100.
Sustainability Flywheel: From Internal Management to Supply Chain Collaboration
SUNON’s strategy is an “Inside-Out Flywheel Effect” covering three dimensions:
-
Internal Governance and Innovation: In 2024, SUNON officially introduced an “Internal Carbon Pricing” system. Additionally, the company submitted its SBTi commitment letter, aiming to halve carbon emissions by 2030 and reach Net Zero by 2050.
-
Process Optimization and Energy Transition: SUNON actively replaces high-energy-consuming equipment, such as introducing heat pump systems for 24-hour laboratories and purchasing green power for factory operations.
-
Leading the Industry: As an industry leader, SUNON leads 10 suppliers through its “Sustainable Development Committee.” While the initial goal was a reduction of 440 $tCO_2e$ per year, actual results have reached 13 times that target.
