Regarding the global concern for climate change, SDG Group is proud to announce our commitment to energy saving and carbon reduction. We aim to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 5% annually, achieve a 50% reduction by 2030, and reach carbon neutrality by 2050.

Upon evaluation by the Corporate Carbon Reduction Thermometer (TRIPs), SDG Group’s emission reduction commitments have been confirmed to meet the objectives of the Paris Agreement, ensuring that global warming by the end of the century does not exceed 1.5°C. SDG Group has been awarded the "1.5°C Compliance - Outstanding Performance"(link) accolade in 2024, certifying our efforts. Relevant information can be publicly accessed on the TRIPs platform(link).

As partner inquiries about carbon issues have increased, SDG Group has established the Carbon Footprint Platform. This platform voluntarily discloses product carbon footprint information to meet partner demands and aims to raise awareness among corporate partners about climate change issues, reduce resource waste, and minimize environmental damage. We encourage all partners to join us in sustainable environmental practices. The 2024 SDG Carbon Reduction Action Plan is as follows, and we invite all partners to participate and respond together:

  • Promoting low-carbon materials and developing green, efficient products
  • Advocating for CKD logistics centers and encouraging low-carbon commuting for employees
  • Enhancing the value of each unit of electricity, such as integrating MEAN WELL products, applying high-voltage direct current lighting control systems and burner recovery systems, etc.
  • Promoting carbon issue training and communication to facilitate mutual benefits among partners

    Carbon Footprint Declaration Inquiry


    This platform independently declares the carbon footprint information of MEAN WELL power products by series, disclosing the carbon footprint from cradle to gate (Business to Business). Life cycle stages include raw material manufacturing, raw material transportation, and power supply manufacturing, with calculations following the ISO 14067:2018 standard. The declaration, including the boundary, life cycle stages, and calculation methodology, has been verified by third-party SGS. The calculation details for each stage are as follows :

  • In the raw material manufacturing stage, calculations are based on the Bill of Materials (BOM) for raw materials using the formula: Σ(Material Weight × Raw Material Carbon Emission Factor).
  • In the raw material transportation stage, calculations consider the BOM for raw materials using the formula: Σ(Material Weight × Distance × Transport Vehicle Carbon Emission Factor).
  • In the power supply manufacturing stage, calculations are based on the carbon emissions of the manufacturing site (including collaborative factories) and the total production weight.
  • Data and Carbon Emission Factors are sourced from life cycle assessment software SimaPro v9.4.0.2, IPCC 2021 Sixth Assessment Report, China Products Carbon Footprint Factors Database, and Taiwan Carbon Footprint Information Platform, among others.

    If you have any questions regarding the platform or declaration, please get in touch with your sales representative. We will provide further clarification.
