The world is currently facing carbon reduction issues from international trends, local government regulations, and supply chain requirements. This is not only a global challenge but also a responsibility that companies should undertake. As a member of the global supply chain, ABC-ATEC recognizes the importance of sustainability and actively sets carbon reduction goals to address global carbon challenges and implement low-carbon objectives.
Through scientific carbon reduction methods, ABC-ATEC commits the short-medium, and long-term net-zero carbon emission target. the short and medium term target for 2030 is to reduce carbon emissions by 42% compared to the baseline year 2021. Furthermore, we commit a net-zero carbon emission target by 2050, actively participating in global carbon reduction actions to contribute to the achievement of global sustainable development goals.
