To practice sustainable product management, GIGABYTE has established the “Sustainable Procurement Guidelines,” which have been signed and approved by the Chairman. We promote sustainable product design and manufacturing from the inside out, influencing more supplier partners to reduce their reliance on raw materials. Additionally, the “Sustainable Raw Materials Policy” is explicitly defined under these guidelines. Adhering to the principle of “procuring raw materials with minimal negative environmental impact,” the company commits to increasing the proportion of recycled and renewable materials and encourages component suppliers to use third-party certified materials while avoiding raw materials sourced from ecologically sensitive regions.

Five Commitments of the Sustainable Raw Materials Policy

  1. Procure raw materials with minimal negative environmental impact, and prioritize the procurement of third-party verified sustainable raw materials
  2. Product packaging shall comply with relevant laws and regulations, and we will implement a plan to reduce product packaging and incoming packaging materials, with the goal of phasing out single-use packaging materials by 2030
  3. Proactively disclose environmental information regarding the organization and its products, while promoting suppliersʼ responsibility for disclosure
  4. Proactively promote sustainability-related issues, such as social and environmental management, to upstream suppliers
  5. Collaborate with external stakeholders to advance sustainable raw material initiatives and create sustainable products

Note1:The scope of the inventory includes motherboards, graphics cards, servers, and laptops, with statistics based on representative models.

Note2: PIR (Post-Industrial Recycled) refers to materials recovered and reused from manufacturing scraps or offcuts.

 

Low-Carbon Server Initiative

Sustainability Highlights:

  • Chassis structural components utilize 20% pre-consumer recycled low-carbon metal materials
  • Airflow shrouds and hard drive trays use up to 95% PCR polycarbonate or PC+ABS plastic
  • Heat sinks use 100% PCR aluminum

【Official Website】Low-Carbon Server Initiative

Note1: PCR (Post-Consumer Recycled) refers to recycled material obtained from the recycling system after the end-of-life of the final product

Note2: PC+ABS plastic refers to a composite plastic combining polycarbonate (PC) and acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS)

 

Product recyclability

In addition to promoting circular economy business models and strengthening end-of-life recycling, GIGABYTE is also committed to increasing the proportion of reusable materials in its products year by year to reduce the environmental impact caused by products at the end of their lifecycle. The raw materials used in GIGABYTEʼs motherboard products are primarily metals and plastics, totaling 13,408.27 metric tons of metal, 2,940.90 metric tons of plastic, 1,025.82 metric tons of glass, and 994.93 metric tons of other materials. The average recyclability rate of product materials in 2025 is 94.78 %.
