The international community has reached a consensus on achieving net-zero emissions by 2050. The European Union (EU) and the US markets are set to introduce carbon border adjustment mechanisms next year. Governments around the world are also rolling out carbon trading platforms to levy carbon taxes. These efforts will inevitably affect Taiwan's export-oriented businesses. This report surveyed leading Taiwanese electronics manufacturing services (EMS) providers to understand their strategies in goal settings, identifying carbon emission hotspots, and planning for net-zero emissions. It also analyzes their current efforts in carbon reduction to provide reference for other industry players striving to achieve net-zero emissions. The goal is to accelerate the industry pace towards net-zero emissions to maintain competitive advantages.
