Green Product Management
Commitment to Environmental Sustainability
To align with global trends and the urgent demand for low-carbon products from major industry players, Accton focuses on enhancing product competitiveness and raising environmental sustainability awareness. This involves conducting organizational carbon footprint assessments and emphasizing low-carbon product development. Starting in the second half of 2021, Accton initiated the assessment and verification of product carbon footprints. By the end of 2022-2023, Accton had successfully certified the first two products under ISO 14067 for carbon footprints and plans to systematically extend these assessments across all product lines to carry out carbon emissions reduction planning.
In the B2C (Business to Customer) calculation process, the usage phase of a product typically results in the highest carbon footprint. Therefore, Accton plans to continuously improve product energy efficiency to reduce carbon emissions. Once the automated product carbon footprint assessment system is fully implemented, it is expected to enable early calculation and consideration of new projects, making this indicator a key focus in product development.
