BenQ Group reaffirms its commitment with two sustainability action awards and consecutive COMPUTEX ISO Certification.

August 2024 – BenQ Group (BenQ), an advocate of the RE100 initiative aiming for net zero emissions by 2050, announces that it has successfully implemented the ISO 20121 Event Sustainability Management System for the second consecutive time at this year’s COMPUTEX show. This makes BenQ the only participant at COMPUTEX to have achieved this feat. BenQ’s ISO 20121 implementation at this year’s COMPUTEX show is just one component of its holistic commitment to sustainability. The Group was also recently recognised for its sustainability advocacy with six awards at the 2024 Taiwan and Asia Pacific Sustainability Action Awards (TSAA and APSAA), including two gold-level awards.

“BenQ is a human-centric brand. What matters to people matters to us. We believe that technology, product designs, and everything else we do should address people’s needs and well-being,” said Conway Lee, President and CEO of BenQ Corporation. “We aim to continue delivering solutions and experiences that are of value to our customers and positively impact society and our environment.”

BenQ Group’s environmental and sustainability commitments are rooted in its pledge to the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the RE100 global initiative led by the Climate Group and CDP, which aims to achieve 100% renewable energy usage by 2050. With a mission of “Bringing Enjoyment 'N Quality to Life," BenQ strives to bring a better future to customers, consumers, society, and the planet we call home.

BenQ Group's commitment to environmental sustainability is exemplified by its active participation in the RE100 initiative. This initiative aims to achieve 100% renewable energy usage by 2040 and net-zero emissions by 2050 and has seen BenQ Group collaborate with numerous partners and suppliers on carbon emissions reduction.

As a significant component of its business, BenQ places importance on reducing its carbon footprint through its products via a comprehensive assessment of every stage of the product lifecycle. Whether helping customers go green by incorporating energy-saving features, reducing the use of raw materials for packaging, or incorporating more clean energy into the production process, BenQ stands firm in its commitment to reducing its carbon footprint to net zero by 2050.

From a larger corporate perspective, BenQ strives to achieve its ESG goals through three main avenues: reducing energy consumption, optimising raw materials usage, and manufacturing with clean energy.

At the corporate level, BenQ’s primary focus is assessing greenhouse gas emissions, implementing internal carbon pricing, adopting self-generated solar energy, verifying green energy purchases, setting carbon emissions reduction goals, implementing energy management strategies, and planning sustainable events.
