Building on three decades of expertise, the Company continues to advance innovation in core DRAM technology and product development, while integrating sustainability across all aspects of its operations. The Company has now published its 2024 Sustainability Report, highlighting the following key achievements:
Driving an Efficient Future Through Innovative Technology
Innovation in DRAM technology plays a critical role in shaping the performance of next-generation smart electronics. At Nanya Technology, we have achieved high DRAM process density, plus product specification enhancement, and 3D stacked technology. We are also expanding into diversified product lines and smart manufacturing while pushing for greater technological independence.
In 2024, we successfully launched mass production of our second-generation 10nm-class 8Gb DDR4 and 16Gb DDR5 products. In 2024, Nanya Technology was once again named one of Clarivate's Top 100 Global Innovators. R&D investments accounted for 22.5% of our annual revenue. Domestically, we ranked second in patent filings, and our global patent portfolio surpassed 7,700 patents in total. Having implemented 134 AI applications and generated over NT$400 million in value, Nanya Technology demonstrates its leadership in AI and high-performance computing in the era of smart technology.
Building Talent Competitiveness and Strengthening Organizational Momentum
We firmly believe that people are the foundation of innovation. To strengthen human capital development, Nanya Technology launched the Five New Initiatives in 2024, focusing on new independently-developed process technologies, new product development and sales, talent development for new facilities, next-generation management capabilities, and the cultivation of emerging skills. Since 2021, we have trained 1,226 semiconductor professionals—a 40% year-on-year increase. We achieve a 98% retention rate among management trainees, and nearly 30% of positions are filled through internal promotions, creating a healthy cycle of talent development.
Building Resilient Sustainability Amid Climate Challenges
Upholding our commitment to environmental responsibility, Nanya Technology became the first DRAM company to register as an early adopter of the TNFD framework. In 2025, we published our second report on climate- and nature-related financial disclosures, employing the LEAP approach (Locate, Evaluate, Assess, Prepare) to identify nature-related material issues at our operational sites. By integrating the TCFD and TNFD frameworks, we have built a comprehensive process for assessing climate- and nature-related risks. We have also implemented corresponding management measures to enhance the company's resilience to climate- and nature-related challenges. In 2024, we took concrete steps toward our low-carbon vision. Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions were reduced by 12.9% compared to 2020, while Scope 3 emissions per unit of product dropped by 19.4%—well ahead of our original SBT targets. Additionally, our use of renewable energy grew by 43.9% year over year, reaching 35,230 MWh—equivalent to a reduction of 17,000 metric tons of carbon emissions. With regard to water resource management, we recycled a total of 5.59 million metric tons of water over the year, and earned AWS Platinum certification, which reflects our strong performance in sustainable water management.
