Strengthen Sustainable Governance and Enhance Climate and AI Risk Management
PLANET continues to strengthen its governance culture, advancing the dual-axis transformation of “net-zero” and “digital” to enhance the governance and management of climate risks and AI information security risks. The first “PLANET Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) Report” was issued in 2024, verified by a third party as the highest level. It was implemented in advance to align with IFRS sustainability disclosure standards, improving sustainable governance practices in line with international standards, thereby enhancing the Company’s competitiveness in the global market. Additionally, the Company initiates “human rights due diligence” for employees and suppliers to fulfill the commitment and responsibility of maintaining human rights. For the eighth time, the Company is ranked among the top 5% excellent listed companies in the 2024 Corporate Governance Evaluation in Taiwan, and it retains the highest honor in the Taiwan Corporate Sustainability Awards - Platinum Award for Sustainability Reporting.
Strengthen Carbon Competitiveness and Safeguard Biodiversity
In order to achieve the 2050 Net-Zero Carbon Emissions goals, PLANET is expanding its deployment in green energy and innovative AI application network communication products to reduce the carbon footprint during the construction of network infrastructure. Leading the market, the Company’s AIoT Application Server integrates artificial intelligence technology to help enterprises achieve energy-saving and carbon reduction goals, earning the Computex Taipei 2024 Best Choice Award – Sustainable Tech Special Award.
To enhance sustainable supply chain resilience, we have established a carbon management mechanism and adopt a “Large enterprises leading small ones” model by collaboratively working with 11 suppliers on low carbon transformation. Moreover, we have obtained the product carbon footprint verification under ISO 14067 for the first time in 2025. In addition, the Company actively participates in international sustainability evaluations and advocacies, including the CDP (Carbon Disclosure Project), SME Climate Commitment, became a TCFD Supporter, and TNFD Adopters. Expand the protection of biodiversity by rallying customers and suppliers to participate in Clean Air, Clear Mind Action. Since 2022, a total of 212 enterprises have responded, resulting in 8,400 hectares of rice fields stopping burning rice straw and reducing approximately 75,600 metric tons of carbon emissions, equivalent to the annual carbon absorption of 6.3 million trees, safeguarding the planet ’s natural growth.
Cultivate Sustainable Talent and Expand Cultural ESG Influence
We firmly believe that talent is the cornerstone of business operations and an important resource for social progress. PLANET is committed to creating a DEI (diversity, equity, inclusion) workplace, integrating talent sustainable development strategies and digital transformation while assisting employees in career growth. This involves comprehensive care initiatives such as building a caregiver-friendly workplace to support employee caregivers, 24hrs professional psychological consultation, childcare and education subsidies for employees’ children. These efforts support employees in achieving a balance between their careers and personal lives, leading to PLANET being consecutively awarded the 2024 CommonWealth Talent Sustainability Award.
In terms of social participation, we focus on promoting education for the underprivileged and cultural inheritance. For 21 years in a row, we have dedicated to remedial teaching and psychological counseling for vulnerable students with emotional disorders. Starting in 2024, further efforts have been paid to help dropout junior high school students to return to the education system, thereby reducing the possibility of dropping out. Utilizing culture as a solution to global societal risks, PLANET has continuously supported the spread and preservation of classic songs from Taiwan and abroad for 20 years. In recent years, it has further supported the cultivation of new-generation talents in traditional opera and modern dance, in order to expand cultural ESG influence.
Shape a Sustainable Future Through Strategic Influence and Collaborative Partnerships
For many years, PLANET has implemented various sustainability initiatives. In 2024, it was ranked No. 1 among the medium-sized enterprises awarded with Excellence in Corporate Social Responsibility for four consecutive years and achieved the distinction of being listed in the Top 100 Sustainable Companies for 18 consecutive years. With the changes in the global environment and society, sustainable development has become an issue that enterprises cannot ignore. Looking ahead, the Company is gradually expanding its collaboration with stakeholders, including employees, customers, suppliers, NPOs, and government agencies, to promote and implement sustainable governance, environmental sustainability, and social inclusion. The aim is to leverage the Company’s influence to enhance the value of its sustainable development and make a positive contribution in the long term for the world.
