Nanya Technology Achieved Double 'A' Scores in CDP's Climate Change & Water Security

22nd Mar. 2024 - Nanya Technology ("Nanya") was selected for CDP's A lists in climate change and water security in 2023. Among more than 23,000 companies rated, Nanya was one of the eight Taiwanese companies and the only memory company around the globe with a double-A achievement.

Having participated in CDP for six consecutive years, Nanya has ranked the Leadership level in climate change and water security for numerous times. The Company's President Dr. Pei-Ing Lee said, "Natural resources are indispensable for sustainable operation. For Nanya, we work relentlessly with industry partners to enhance resource efficiency with innovation and green manufacturing."

As the first memory company setting a SBTi-approved target to reduce 25% of GHG emissions by 2030, Nanya manages climate-related impacts with particular focus on low-carbon products and green manufacturing technologies. In 2022, its DRAM products enabled customers to reduce energy consumption by more than 620 million kWh. Regarding the manufacturing processes, Nanya leveraged AI-powered insights from real-time monitoring systems to reduce 4.37 million kWh in 2022. The energy sources would be partly substituted by solar energy as the Company has signed a ten-year contract to purchase 250 million kWh.

For water security, diversification of water supply sources and water preservation such as the rainwater reclamation system were implemented. Endeavouring to reduce water consumption and promote water reuse, Nanya reached a rate of 92.9% for water recycled from the manufacturing processes in 2022. In the same year, it introduced the standards of the Alliance for Water Stewardship (AWS) to continuously optimise water management.

The double 'A' results of CDP recognised Nanya's efforts not only in promoting ESG, but also in engaging with stakeholders. In addition to actively participating in global disclosure systems, the Company started to release the TCFD report in 2021 to further integrate climate-related risks and opportunities into its financial statements. Through effective communication and collective actions, Nanya will pursue a more sustainable future with amplified impacts.
