90 %
Environmental external cost comes from upstream and downstream in the value chain
From an environmental perspective, the environmental footprint in the upstream supply chain and downstream product sales is greater than own operations, showing the importance of Nanya's green supply chain management and product energy and material conservation on the well-being of society.

9 %
Environmental external cost reduced compared with 2020
As our new generation DRAM products consume lower power, the social cost of carbon and impact on human health resulting from the electricity consumption of end products decrease, as well.
Eco-Friendly Product Environmental Influence
The energy consumption of electronic products in use is one of the most significant indicators of environmental impacts. Nanya is dedicated to research and develop advance and highly efficient eco-friendly products to assist consumers in lowering energy consumption and reducing carbon emissions during the usage of products. Compared with current mainstream memory, new generation memory possesses faster transmission efficiency while saving energy due to lower operating voltages.
