投资人关系 | CyberLink

The software industry is a green industry, as the development process does not generate waste. Therefore, CyberLink focuses our environmental management system on outsourced supplier management and office waste management, aiming to ensure that our operations comply with government environmental regulations and promote sustainable development.

In recent years, as digital downloads have gradually replaced retail boxed versions, we have significantly reduced the production of boxed products and the use of optical discs. To support environmental sustainability, we are committed to gradually increasing the share of green electricity over a ten-year period starting in 2021, with the goal of fully adopting green power by 2030. This demonstrates our determination to promote global environmental protection and fulfill our social responsibility.

CyberLink’s product manufacturing operations are outsourced through procurement. Therefore, we primarily implement environmental management through our supplier management policy. We require suppliers to comply with the CyberLink Supplier Code of Conduct, which clearly stipulates that suppliers must adhere to all environmental regulations related to hazardous substances, waste disposal, and pollution prevention, and implement sustainable environmental management practices to minimize negative impacts on the environment.

Additionally, we require that all products provided by suppliers comply with the latest European Union environmental regulations and be accompanied by a certificate ensuring the products are free of prohibited or restricted substances. We annually conduct one to two on-site inspections of our suppliers to verify that production complies with these requirements.

We also collaborate with optical disc and packaging suppliers to actively promote green production initiatives, targeting an annual reduction of 12%-14% in the number of discs and retail boxes. In 2024, our digital creative editing software began phasing out physical optical discs. Compared with 2017, we reduced annual disc usage by 90% and annual retail box production by 53% in 2024.

CyberLink’s primary source of waste comes from the routine daily operations of our employees. We engage certified waste management companies to recycle and manage our waste, ensuring that all waste is handled in accordance with environmental regulations and safety standards to prevent potential harm to the environment. Additionally, to reduce waste generation, we continue to implement various digitalization initiatives.

In 2024, CyberLink’s total waste intensity (tons per million NT$ revenue) for both our headquarters and subsidiary in Japan decreased by 4.37% compared to the previous year, exceeding the planned target reduction of 3%. We have set future targets, aiming to achieve a 4% reduction in waste intensity by 2025 and a 5% reduction by 2030 (using 2023 as the baseline year).

Sustainability Commitment – 100% Green Electricity by 2030

Since 2022, CyberLink has formally initiated its greenhouse gas (GHG) inventory in accordance with ISO 14064-1:2018 standards, and appointed Grant Thornton to conduct a third-party limited assurance of Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions in accordance with ISAE 3410 assurance standards. Initially, the inventory focused on our headquarters, covering Scope 1 (direct GHG emissions and removals), Scope 2 (energy indirect GHG emissions), and Scope 3 (indirect GHG emissions from the use of products by the organization). In 2023, we further expanded the inventory to include our Japan subsidiary.

We set 2023 as the baseline year for GHG reduction and established a target to reduce total carbon emission intensity by 10-15% by 2030. In 2024, the total carbon emission intensity for our headquarters and Japan subsidiary was 0.3831 tons CO2e, representing a reduction of 8.52% compared to 2023.

The inventory results indicate that our primary carbon emissions come from purchased electricity, making electricity consumption a key focus for carbon reduction management. To effectively lower carbon emissions, we actively adopt solar power to replace traditional electricity sources. In 2024, the proportion of solar power purchased reached 30%, with an expected annual increase of 10%.

In addition, to improve energy use efficiency, we simultaneously implement energy-saving measures, including internal energy conservation campaigns, replacement with energy-efficient equipment, and LED lighting systems.

CyberLink’s water usage mainly comes from office air-conditioning systems and employees’ daily needs, and we do not operate high-water-consumption factories. Since 2022, we have begun inventorying water usage at our headquarters, and starting in 2023, we included our Japan subsidiary to provide a more comprehensive assessment and disclosure of water usage.

In 2024, the water intensity of our headquarters and Japan subsidiary (metric tons per million NT$ revenue) decreased by 6.91% compared to 2023, falling short of the 20% reduction target. According to detailed water usage data at our headquarters in 2024, water intensity on floors not shared with other companies decreased by approximately 11.14%. However, for floors shared with other companies, water usage increased slightly due to the new tenants, which raised shared water consumption.

Using 2023 as the baseline year, we aim to reduce water intensity by 5-10% by 2025 and 7-15% by 2030. We will continue implementing improvement measures to optimize our water management system and reduce water consumption in daily operations, particularly in office areas. For example, we have replaced all traditional faucets in office restrooms with sensor-activated faucets and reduced water flow volume. In addition, we regularly maintain and replace filters and internal components in drinking water systems to ensure water quality and minimize water waste.
