In addition to Qisda’s own net zero, we also hope that suppliers can reduce carbon emissions by 20% by 2030. Next, we will actively assist everyone to do it together. Suppliers’ carbon reduction actions will also be included in the supplier evaluation, increasing the selection of ESG condition.

In response to its own commitment and the goal of working with large fleets and supply chain partners to reduce carbon emissions, BenQ Qisda Group specially established the "ESG Sustainable Supply Chain Action Workshop". Carbon reduction targets and energy management.

In the future, it will expand to the carbon footprint of the product life cycle, evaluate and introduce biomass materials, carbon rights trading, negative carbon technology, etc., and work together to create a net-zero future.
