The group designates June and December each year as Environmental Awareness Months, during which various energy-saving and carbon reduction policies are promoted to employees. Specific annual electricity-saving targets are set to manage each production base, track emission reduction results, and disclose the progress on the company’s website. ISO 14064-1 greenhouse gas inventory is conducted, with third-party verification by SGS and BSI.
Base Year and Data
The original base year was 2022, with emissions of 223,052.64 ton of CO2e. However, due to changes in operational activities following the lifting of pandemic restrictions and the impact of the overall economic downturn, the base year was adjusted to 2023, with emissions of 164,157.27 ton of CO2e.
Emission Reduction Target
The 2024 emission reduction target is an overall 1% reduction across all companies, with medium-term targets (2025–2030) of a 3% annual reduction at the main site VPIC1 in Vietnam and 2% at Eurocharm TW, and long-term targets (2031–2050) of a 5% annual reduction at VPIC1 and 3% at Eurocharm.
Strategy and Specific Action Plans
- The parent company and its subsidiaries have implemented ISO 14064-1 for greenhouse gas (GHG) inventory and obtained third-party verification, with annual inventories conducted on an ongoing basis.
- The main sites—VPIC1 in Vietnam and Eurocharm in Taiwan—have adopted the ISO 50001 energy management system, also with third-party verification, and continue to implement annual energy-saving and carbon-reduction action plans.
- In response to the EU ETS reporting requirements under the EU CBAM, VPIC1 in Vietnam is implementing ISO 14067 for product carbon footprint accounting and will proceed with verification once official guidelines are released.
- VPIC1 is currently assessing the feasibility of installing solar panels or purchasing green electricity to gradually move toward net-zero emissions.
- According to Vietnam’s Decree No. 06/2022/NĐ-CP on GHG management, from 2025 onward, VPIC1 will submit a third-party verified GHG inventory report to the Vietnamese government every two years, and by the end of 2025, will present a carbon reduction plan for 2026–2030. VPIC1 plans to adopt ISO 14068 in mid-2025 to develop this reduction plan and, starting in 2027, submit annually verified emission reduction results. The company is committed to continuously refining climate targets and indicators to enhance resilience and drive industry transformation.
Progress Toward Emission Reduction Targets
In 2024, Eurocharm TW’s total emissions decreased by 141.087 ton of CO2e compared to 2023, representing a 36% reduction. In contrast, VPIC1 in Vietnam saw an increase of 26,333.77 ton of CO2e, or 16%, primarily due to the addition of a new electroplating line starting in June 2024, which contributed 534.09 ton of CO2e.
