Wistron's Strategies and Commitments in Climate Change-Related Public Policy
Wistron actively addresses global climate change issues and supports principles aligned with the Paris Agreement. Sustainability is embedded as a core strategy, and the Company proactively complies with and supports domestic and international climate-related laws and regulations consistent with the Paris Agreement, including: EU’s Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM), Taiwan’s Climate Change Response Act and Renewable Energy Development Act, Mainland China’s National Carbon Emissions Trading System (ETS), Mexico’s General Law on Climate Change, and other climate regulations governing Wistron sites around the world.
In April 2024, Wistron’s science-based targets were approved by the SBTi. The Company has committed to achieving carbon neutrality in its operations by 2030 and net-zero emissions across its value chain by 2050, supporting efforts to limit global warming to no more than 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels.
With a rising number of countries levying carbon taxes or fees, such as EU’s CBAM and Taiwan’s Climate Change Response Act, the Company implemented internal carbon pricing. In 2024, related calculation rules and operating mechanisms were launched. Additionally, a digital management platform is being developed to automate carbon emissions and carbon fee tracking, enabling business unit leaders to monitor reduction performance at each site and supporting Wistron’s path toward net-zero emissions by 2050.
Wistron is enhancing its collaboration with domestic and international stakeholders and professional organizations. As an active member of various climate initiatives and sustainability platforms, Wistron continues to expand its network and scope of participation. By forming close partnerships with industry associations, government agencies, and local communities, the company stays informed about emerging trends in climate governance and sustainability. This approach not only improves environmental performance but also boosts industrial competitiveness, thereby amplifying Wistron's positive impact. To speed up the implementation of its net-zero transition strategy, Wistron has adopted a ‘lead-by-large’ supply-chain engagement model, leveraging larger suppliers to bring smaller ones along, encouraging them to support smaller partners. The company is currently collaborating with 30 suppliers to promote coordinated actions to reduce carbon emissions. With the help of government and value-chain partners, Wistron is assisting these suppliers in enhancing their greenhouse gas management and decarbonization capabilities. This collaboration aims to improve overall supply-chain climate resilience and work towards the industry-wide goal of achieving net-zero emissions by 2050.
Moving forward, the Company will continue monitoring global and local regulatory trends, proactively adjust management strategies, strengthen risk management, and enhance sustainable competitiveness.
