Environmental Management System
GIGABYTEʼs environmental management commits to reducing the environmental impact of operations and manufacturing processes as well as protecting the health and safety of our employees. Environmental and hazardous substances management systems such as ISO 14001, ISO 14064-1, and IECQ QC080000 are introduced to ensure that our routine operations and products all comply with environmental standards and regulations.

For the certificates of the above systems, please refer to Sustainability-related Certification.
Environmental Management Goals
GIGABYTE began introducing long-term reduction plans for carbon, water, and waste in 2009. The “333 Reduction Plan” set a phased target of reducing carbon emissions, water consumption, and waste by 3% every year. This not only supported the mission of “Reduction” from phase 1 of Green Action Plan 2.0 but also ensured the realization of long-term goals while minimizing impact to operations. At the same time, through initiatives such as reduction incentive programs and green competitions, employees are encouraged to develop personal habits of saving energy and water, and to actively participate in the research and development of green and energy-efficient products.

Environmental Management Measures and Enhancing Environmental Awareness
GIGABYTE deeply agrees that corporate operation and the environment are interdependent. A company cannot survive if the environment is severely destructed. In view of that, we draw up various measures that aim to be truly beneficial to the environment, such as improving energy and resource efficiency, striving to develop friendly products, promoting green consumption, etc. At the same time, multiple energy-saving and emission-reduction practices are implemented in life to encourage employees to be concerned with the integrated concept of ecosystem, life, and production. Through internal environmental management, supplemented by raising the awareness of environmental protection among employees, we hope to become a truly green enterprise.
Sustainability Fund and Reduction Reward Program
In 2019, GIGABYTE officially launched the 6-year “Sustainability Fund”. The Fund is based on the savings of energy fees every year and invests in three aspects, that is, energy conservation at factories, development of resource reduction and low-carbon products, and green projects related to climate change and sustainable development. The program aims to stimulate comprehensively innovative thinking for manufacturing, operation, and product strategies and sustainable development plans, to provide incentives and motivations for reduction, and to strengthen the internal competence of green designing that helps achieve the purpose of reduction.
The reward application of reduction proposals and low-carbon product proposals opens twice every year. As of the end of 2024, 11 sessions have been held. The review employs the “shadow pricing” concept for internal carbon pricing to quantity reduction performance. Carbon was therefore priced at USD 50 per tonne. Through a transparent scheme, suggestions and mentoring advice for optimizing projects are provided during the evaluation process.
Most of the proposals in 2024 focused on equipment energy-efficiency, reducing the use of parts/consumables, and recycling of resources. Proposals for reducing Scope 1 and 2 carbon emissions accounted for 56.1%. Most involved energy-saving equipment and lab optimizations; Scope 3 accounted for 43.9% and was mainly made up of savings in parts or packaging materials.
