Sam Kimmins, Energy Director at Climate Group, said: “We are delighted that Advantech has joined RE100, the global initiative spearheaded by Climate Group in partnership with CDP. By committing to using 100% renewable electricity by 2040, Advantech is taking a significant step forward in improving its sustainability by joining 400 of the world’s leading companies committed to driving market change. We encourage others to follow suit.”

In 2021, Advantech committed to establishing a science-based target to accelerate the transition to net-zero energy. Furthermore, during this year's (2023) ESG committee meeting, Advantech set its goal of achieving net-zero carbon emissions by 2050. Addressing climate change and energy management is also fundamental to Advantech's ESG plans. Advantech remains committed to investing in renewable energy, research and development of energy-saving products, and the development of smart and sustainable solutions. Advantech aims to promote sustainable development alongside its core energy management business.

Advantech is implementing several measures to achieve its goal of using 100% renewable energy by 2040. In addition to improving its energy-saving technologies, daily energy consumption management, and energy efficiency solutions, it has developed an Intelligent Energy Management System (iEMS) to effectively manage energy use through the implementation of a smart system. Advantech has also been gradually incorporating renewable energy at its offices. For example, photovoltaic solar panels were installed at Advantech's office in Newcastle, UK, in 2022. iEMS systems have also been installed at its offices worldwide, as well as a solar power generator with an annual generation capacity of approximately 912,000 kWh, installed at Advantech's new headquarters in the US, which is currently under construction.

In addition, in 2021 Advantech began investing in a 10MW solar power plant that will supply electricity to its headquarters in Taiwan starting in 2024. Advantech's Manufacturing Center in Kunshan, China, will also gradually meet the RE100 target by implementing a green energy supply plan starting in 2023.
