January 2, 2026 - In 2023, Nanya Technology collaborated with 10 suppliers to join the DRAM Supply Chain Low-Carbon Transformation Program led by the Industrial Development Administration, Ministry of Economic Affairs. This two-year program allowed Nanya Technology to join forces with its supply chain partners as well as the Industrial Technology Research Institute and National Taiwan University of Science and Technology. Completed in December 2025, the program delivered 26 projects and achieved a carbon reduction of 8,536 metric tons—surpassing the original estimation of 6,300 metric tons and reaching a 135% achievement rate. This program stands as a premier model for the collaboration among industry, government, academia, and research institutions.
On December 30, Nanya Technology hosted the Sustainable Supply Chain Seminar—DRAM Supply Chain Low-Carbon Transformation Program Achievement Presentation. The seminar convened 10 participating suppliers—including Formosa Sumco Technology Corporation, Formosa Advanced Technologies, KANTO-PPC, MFC Sealing Technology, JAW Heaters, RSTEC Semiconductor, Tian-Cheng Science and Technology Corporation, Linde Taiwan Technologies Limited, Shih Her Technologies, and Echo Chemical—alongside the Industrial Development Administration of the Ministry of Economic Affairs, the Industrial Technology Research Institute, and National Taiwan University of Science and Technology to share program achievements and exchange insights. “As carbon enters an era of economic valuation, Nanya Technology actively drives independent R&D in 10nm-class advanced process technologies while accelerating low-carbon transformation across our supply chain," said Su Lin-Chin, Executive Vice President of Nanya Technology. “Through industry-academic technological collaboration, cross-sector capability sharing, and the implementation of digital tools, we empower our suppliers and jointly strengthen the momentum for low-carbon transformation, hoping to build a resilient, competitive, and sustainable industry chain.”
Initiated in November 2023, this program was conducted in partnership with National Taiwan University of Science and Technology and the Industrial Technology Research Institute. Built on three core pillars—capability building, digital tools, and the implementation of low-carbon technologies—the program supported 10 significant suppliers in comprehensively strengthening their carbon management capabilities. While the original two-year target was to reduce carbon emissions by 6,300 metric tons, the program delivered 26 projects and achieved an actual reduction of 8,536 metric tons, reaching a 135% achievement rate. Key achievements include:
1. Product Carbon Footprint Inventory and Digital Verification: Nanya Technology has assisted suppliers in quantifying the carbon footprints of 15 critical products and implementing standardized verification processes, improving carbon data transparency and effectiveness, while establishing localized carbon emission factor data. This effort was subsequently presented by National Taiwan University of Science and Technology at the Going Green EcoDesign 2025 seminar, featuring Nanya Technology's DRAM supply chain low-carbon transformation as a case study.
2. Cloud-Based Carbon Management and Digital Verification Platform: Nanya Technology has implemented a cloud-based digital carbon management platform that enables 10 significant suppliers to manage emission sources, monitor carbon reduction performance, minimize manual calculation errors, and reduce verification-related administrative costs more efficiently.
3. Carbon Emission Hotspot Analysis and Low-Carbon Technology Enhancements: Nanya Technology has leveraged several innovative methodologies, including carbon emission hotspot analysis and emissions forecasting, to continuously strengthen energy efficiency and emission reduction initiatives. Improvements include energy optimization of VOCs treatment equipment through the zeolite rotor, delivering annual natural gas savings of 129,000 m³ and reducing carbon emissions by approximately 243 metric tons; heat recovery from AC reheat coils, generating annual electricity savings of 675,000 kilowatt-hours and cutting emissions by approximately 333.4 metric tons; and the deployment of variable-frequency drives for MAU01a air handling units, reducing electricity consumption for clean room automatic static pressure control by 85%. Further measures enhanced the energy efficiency of air compressors, lowering electricity consumption in regenerated wafer processes by 37%, while waste heat recovery and compression with moisture removal enabled reuse in production equipment, achieving a 75% reduction in electricity consumption.
Nanya Technology continues to demonstrate excellence in sustainability performance. In 2024, the Company achieved an "AA" ESG rating from Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI) for the first time, was included in the Dow Jones Sustainability World Index (DJSI World Index) for the fourth consecutive year, and attained the highest "Prime" rating in the Institutional Shareholder Services (ISS) ESG Corporate Rating for the fifth consecutive year. Additionally, Nanya Technology was ranked among the top 5% of listed companies in Taiwan's Corporate Governance Evaluation for the seventh time, reaffirming the Company's long-standing achievements in sustainable governance and long-term value.
