In 2023, ASUS passed the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) Near-Term Target validation. It is progressively driving its entire value chain toward net-zero through three stages: enhancing product energy efficiency, scaling up renewable energy use, and investing in innovative carbon reduction technologies to remove residual emissions. The whole value chain decarbonization focus on product energy efficiency management and supply chain management. In 2023, ASUS laptop products exceeded ENERGY STAR standards by 42%, eco-friendly product revenue made up 90% of qualified revenue in 2023. By analyzing supply chain emissions hotspots and providing guidance based on individual capabilities and carbon intensities, ASUS helps suppliers build their own carbon management capacities and further identify the key suppliers. Through systematic management, key suppliers reduced greenhouse gas emissions intensity by 26% in 2023 compared to the 2020 baseline year.
Demonstrating sustainability leadership, ASUS participates in sustainability related organizations such as Business Council for Sustainable Development (BCSD Taiwan) and Taiwan Climate Partnership.
