SDGs
Carbon Emission Reduction Target
In response to the SBT review approval, we set a net-zero target for 2050 with a 1.5°C reduction scenario, usingabsolute reduction methods, with the promise to reduce the total emissions of Scope 1 and Scope 2 by 42% compared to the baseline year of 2022 by 2030.
Greenhouse Gas Emissions in 2023
- Scope 1 GHG emissions of SKFH and its subsidiaries primarily come from the use of company vehicles, emergency generators running on diesel, and refrigerant leakage. In Scope 2, the main emission source is electricity consumption.
- In 2023, the total greenhouse gas emissions of SKFH and its subsidiaries in Scope 1 and Scope 2 amounted to 28,663.11 metric tCO2e, a decrease of 2,828.15 tCO2e compared to 2022, representing a reduction of 8.98%. In recent years, we have gradually replaced fuel-powered vehicles with hybrid vehicles, accelerated the replacement of old lighting and air conditioning equipment to utilize renewable energy and promote changes in daily behaviors among employees to achieve long-term decarbonization goals.
Energy-Saving Measures
In response to the SBT verification, a goal of reducing electricity consumption by at least 4.2% annually in Scope 2 emissions has been set, with a reduction of 42% by 2030. Our primary measures will focus on " changing employee behavior ", " improving energy efficiency ", with " the use of renewable energy " as a supplementary measure to achieve carbon reduction goals.
1.Changing employee behavior
- Annually review and analyze contracted capacity usage and conserve water.
- Tracking electricity usage quarterly
- Turning off lights during lunch breaks
- Branches underwent mergers
- Organizing energy-saving competitions among branches

Greating Green Offices
1.Headquarters and main offices locations to achieve Net Zero by 2030
- In line with UN and international 2030 carbon
reduction goals, SKFH joined the Taiwan
Alliance for Net Zero Emission in 2021, aiming
to achieve Net Zero at headquarters and main
offices locations by 2030 under the "Taiwan Net
Zero 2030/2050 Initiative." - To improve air quality in the office region, SKFH replaced five copiers with non-heating models in 2022, reducing carbon emissions by an estimated 1.0 ton annually. Moreover, in 2023, SKFH received the "Green Level Label" from the Taiwan Net Zero Emission Association.
2. Low-carbon Transportation
- In the process of providing financial products and services, business travel leads to the consumption of petrochemical fuels (mainly petroleum) of vehicles. Therefore, SKFH takes action to reduce vehicle fuel consumption and makes gradual plans to replace the old, fuel-inefficient vehicles with more energyefficient models to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from the use of fuel.
3.Paper Reduction via e-Measures
- In response to the trend of digital finance, we have greatly improved administrative efficiency through
innovation and process digitization. We have also implemented a paper usage management plan to
reduce the carbon emission generated by business activities through paper reduction actions.
