SAS Receives SBTi Validation for Emissions Reduction Targets
Advances Dual Solar–Wind Strategy Toward 2050 Net-Zero Goal

Hsinchu, Taiwan, Dec 11, 2025 – Sino-American Silicon Products Inc. (5483:TT, SAS) today (12/11) announced that its greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction targets—aligned with the global 1.5°C scenario—have been officially validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). SAS commits to reducing absolute Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions by 63% by 2035 from a 2022 base year. For Scope 3, SAS adopts 2024 as the base year and targets a 37.5% reduction in absolute emissions from purchased goods and services, capital goods, and fuel- and energy-related activities by 2035.

 

SAS focuses on two major pillars as its decarbonization roadmap: energy efficiency improvements and renewable energy adoption. On energy efficiency, SAS has completed upgrades to lighting systems, optimized cooling water temperatures, and replaced aging and high-energy-consuming equipment such as motors, cooling tower fans, and thermal insulation materials to further strengthen overall energy efficiency. The company will next introduce high-efficiency chiller systems and upgrade its Energy Management System (EMS), which are expected to reduce chiller energy consumption by another 30%. Air compressor systems will also be reconfigured, targeting an additional 15% reduction in energy losses, thereby improving overall energy performance.

 

To meet SBTi’s stringent requirements, SAS is strengthening its decarbonization roadmap and accelerating the deployment of renewable energy. Through diversified investments and green power purchasing strategies, SAS aims to strengthen the group’s overall flexibility and resilience in renewable energy dispatch and supply. Leveraging the group’s long-standing expertise in the renewable energy sector, SAS has adopted a diversified Green Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) strategy, advancing solar and offshore wind procurement in parallel to steadily increase the share of renewable electricity consumption. SAS initiated its solar PPA program in 2024, and together with its renewable energy development subsidiary, Sustainable Energy Solution (SES), has entered into a joint offshore wind procurement agreement with Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners (CIP). Supported by both solar and wind resources, SAS plans for the proportion of renewable energy usage to rise progressively, with a long-term commitment to achieving 100% renewable energy (RE100) by 2050. Looking ahead, SAS will adjust PPA procurement volumes in line with operational needs, while continuing to monitor emerging energy sources, and exploring partnership opportunities with energy suppliers. For the final stretch toward net-zero emissions, SAS plans to close any remaining gaps through Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) and carbon credit purchases.

 

For Scope 3 emissions reduction, SAS is actively collaborating with its supply chain. Through supplier engagement mechanisms and incorporating carbon management performance into supplier evaluations, SAS is scaling up its Scope 3 emission reduction impact. Moving forward, SAS will continue supporting supply chain partners in their low-carbon transition and work together to achieve science-based reduction goals.

 

Doris Hsu, Chairperson of SAS, stated:“SAS’ emission-reduction targets have been validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), signifying that our decarbonization pathway is now fully aligned with the scientific benchmark for limiting global warming to 1.5°C. This marks an important milestone in our journey toward net-zero transition. SAS will continue strengthening its low-carbon competitiveness through low-carbon manufacturing, enhanced energy efficiency, and circular resource utilization. At the same time, we are leveraging the Group’s strategic presence in renewable energy development and power retailing. Through our subsidiary, Susen Green Energy (SGE), we provide comprehensive green energy service solutions to our customers and supply chain partners. In facing the challenges of Scope 3 emissions, SAS will work closely with value-chain partners to enhance carbon inventory and reduction practices, ensuring that every kilowatt-hour of energy and every product moves toward a lower-carbon and more sustainable future. Guided by the principles of providing energy that is Safe, Affordable, and Sustainable, SAS remains committed to advancing our sustainability vision through concrete actions. We aim to be a trusted green partner for our employees, customers, and society, and to help build a more resilient net-zero future.”
