Climate Commitments and Actions
Inventec places great importance on the global issue of climate change and follows the Science Based Targets (SBT) methodology to address corporate climate risks and potential industry opportunities. In alignment with the principles of the Net-Zero Science Based Targets (Net-Zero SBT), Inventec has set a goal to achieve net-zero carbon emissions, using 2020 as the baseline year. Inventec is actively implementing various carbon reduction projects to align with the Paris Agreement's objective of limiting global warming to 1.5°C, thereby fulfilling corporate social responsibility. Moreover, with proactive self-reduction efforts, ICC successfully obtained the SBTi target validation in December 2023.
Inventec SBT carbon reduction target
Under the WB2C (Well Below 1.5°C) scenario, the goal to be achieved for absolute carbon reduction by 2030.
Scope 1 and 2： GHG emissions reduced by 42%
Total Scope 1 and 2 carbon emissions (Market-Based) in 2023 were 105,241.5704 tCO2e. Note 1，A reduction of 20.82% compared to the 2020 Base year. A reduction of 9.41% compared to the 2023 reduction target of 116,172.4702 tCO2eNote2.
- Note 1: The carbon offset from purchasing renewable energy and international renewable energy certificates amounted to 26,360.4336 tCO2e.
- Note 2: The inventory boundary includes the following sites: IET, ITO, TAO, TPE, TNN, IJC, ICC, IPT, SQT, IMX, ICZ, and Inventec Appliances (Taipei, Nanjing, Shanghai, Malaysia, and Vietnam).
Value Chain GHG Emission Management
Since 2008, Inventec has conducted greenhouse gas inventory assessments continuously for 16 years. To ensure stakeholder acceptance of these assessments, the process and documentation adhere to regulations such as the Executive Yuan Ministry of Environment’s Greenhouse Gas Emissions Inventory Registration
and Management Regulations, as well as international standards such as ISO 14064-1. These efforts are verified by third-party audits. Furthermore, to expand the scope of inventory assessments and enhance data analysis efficiency, Inventec utilizes a carbon management platform for digital inventory assessments. This approach enables real-time and efficient management of greenhouse gas emissions data. In 2023, Inventec further optimized GHG management platform in iSupplier (Supplier Management Platform) to enhance data collection from suppliers, thereby improving the quality of data related to indirect emissions.

Energy Saving and Carbon Reduction Achievements
Inventec's climate mitigation measures are focused on “energy conservation”and“promoting renewable energy”. Inventec also has dedicated units in each factory, such as factory management team, to set annual energy-saving targets and implement diverse carbon reduction plans. Additionally, Inventec has established the mechanism for regular reporting to sustainable environment team to facilitate experience sharing among factories. This approach ensures that we effectively monitor short, medium, and long-term carbon reduction results and progress, which are reported to the Sustainability Committee and Board of Directors.
Energy Conservation
- Replace with low-carbon, energy-saving equipment such as lighting fixtures and natural gas boilers.
- Install or upgrade equipment with inverter functions such as air compressors, cooling water pumps, and fans.
- Minimize the energy consumption of humidifiers.
- Continuously adjust the equipment configuration, such as the number of power-consuming equipment like air compressors and chillers, based on the production schedule for each production line.
- Install time-controlled switches according to seasonal changes, such as road lights and factory neon lights of regional lighting equipment .
- Adjust the frequency of use for energy-consuming equipment, air conditioning systems, etc.
- Retrofit air compressors for heat recovery.
- Regularly adding chemicals, cleaning, and replacing components to enhance heat exchange and air supply efficiency, such as plate heat exchangers, cooling water towers, and filter bags.
- Maximize the use of external fresh air, such as air conditioning in fall and winter.
