SC Chien, UMC’s Co-President and Chief Sustainability Officer, said, “With global average temperatures rising year after year, corporations must step up efforts to curb greenhouse gas emissions to ensure the sustainability of our planet. In 2023, UMC achieved significant progress in cutting emissions from our operations and established more ambitious reduction targets, demonstrating our commitment to sustainable development and climate action. Furthermore, we are collaborating with our suppliers to target
TS Wu, Vice President of UMC, said, “At UMC, we believe sustainable development is a cornerstone of our business operations. While companies must first act to decarbonize their own operations, extensive collaboration across the supply chain is also necessary. Since 2022, UMC has been assisting suppliers with conducting their greenhouse gas emissions inventory, and more than 300 have completed their inventory to date. We take this opportunity to applaud our suppliers for their participation and we look forward to advancing our shared environmental sustainability goals together.”
UMC invited suppliers to join its Triple R League program in 2017, which promoted reducing consumption and the reuse and recycling of resources in the supply chain. In 2022, UMC launched the Supply Chain Greenhouse Gas Inventory Initiative to provide resources to suppliers and share the company’s own experience from its net zero journey so far.
