ITRI is committed to practicing sustainable management. Since 2022, the Institute has independently conducted organization-level GHG emissions inventories following the ISO 14064-1:2018 standard, using the "Operational Control Approach" as the basis to systematically quantify GHG emissions from various operational activities, ensuring that the inventory results meet international standards. In line with carbon-reduction pathway planning, the organizational scope consistent with this report was confirmed in 2024, with 2020 set as the base year, and the same calculation methodology applied to complete the inventories for all years.

The 2024 inventory covers the ITRI Headquarters, Kuang-Fu Campus, ITRI Southern Region Campus, ITRI Central Region Campus, Southern Taiwan Innovation & Research Park, Shalun Green Energy Technology Demonstration Site, and the Taipei Branch. Following verification by BSI (British Standards Institution Taiwan) in accordance with ISO 14064-1:2018 guidelines, the Institute’s total GHG emissions were 68,886.311 metric tons of CO2e, with purchased electricity accounting for 68.04% of total emissions, representing the primary emission source. To identify high-carbon hotspots, ITRI has established an enterprise-wide GHG inventory system that integrates data analysis to precisely plan carbon-reduction measures.

Total Greenhouse Gas Emissions in 2024

ITRI is committed to preserving biodiversity and fostering an eco-friendly environment across its campuses through various greening and environmental management initiatives. Since 2023, the Institute has established the "iTree Tree Database," regularly conducting tree risk assessments, updating records, and installing tree nameplates. Maintenance staff and employees can scan the nameplates to monitor tree health in real time. In 2024, ITRI further implemented a "Tree Health Assessment" program, establishing standard procedures for tree assessment and removal of diseased trees, ensuring proper care, reducing the risk of collapse, and enhancing the long-term carbon-reduction benefits of campus greening.

OMEGA ZONE Zero-Carbon Buildings

Through the transformation of existing buildings and the construction of green buildings, the Institute demonstrates its commitment to low-carbon operations. As of the publication of this report, the Institute has cumulatively obtained eight Green Building Labeling System of EEWH and two Intelligent Building Label certifications, including the successful retrofit of one existing building to Diamond-level Green Building standards. In 2024, the ITRI Central Region Campus achieved Near-Zero Carbon Building certification, underscoring the Institute’s continuous efforts in "building energy efficiency'' and establishing a benchmark for sustainable architecture within the organization.
