"Over the past year, SINBON has been actively implementing its sustainable development strategy while achieving steady growth in business performance," commented Joseph Wang, Chairman of SINBON. "We have aligned the three major frameworks of environmental sustainability, social participation, and corporate governance, and uphold the concepts of integrity, innovation, and sharing to enhance our competitiveness in sustainable value creation."

The environment and energy management

To power its business, SINBON launched several new solar power installations with a total capacity of 3MW, bringing its total self-generated renewable energy usage to 2,044,800 kWh, or 6.56% of the Group's total electricity usage. Furthermore, SINBON factories in Miaoli, Tongcheng, Jiangyin, and Beijing TongAn all received the ISO 50001 certification, which helps companies to conserve power through an energy management system, contributing to a total annual savings of 1,171,705 kWh.

For carbon emissions, SINBON reached an 11% reduction in Scope 1 (direct) and 2 (indirect) carbon emissions. This is significant progress towards the company's near-term goal of an 18% reduction in Scope 1 and 2 by 2025 (with 2021 as the baseline year). Additionally, four SINBON products received ISO 14067 certifications, which assesses and officially determines the carbon footprint of a product (CFP).

SINBON's revenue from sustainable industries grew from 44% in 2022 to 47% in 2023, and a growing share of this comes from the green energy sector specifically, at 30.33% compared with 26.81% in 2022.

To address biodiversity, SINBON will adopt the Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures' framework in 2024 and has set the goal of achieving Net Positive Impact (NPI) on biodiversity by 2050.

Reflecting its focus on people, SINBON was recognized in 2023 by HR Asia as the "Best Employer in Asia". Embracing Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI), the company offers DEI courses and training programs to educate and inform team members. To welcome and include people from various backgrounds, the company also conducts multi-cultural recruiting and training programs. Moreover, the company reached 47% female representation among managers in 2023 -- also the first year it was included in the Bloomberg Gender Equality Index among only 16 companies from Taiwan.
