Zyxel Networks is marking a milestone that has seen the company’s greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction targets validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), confirming its commitment to climate action and environmental sustainability.
It also shows that Zyxel is working to align its decarbonisation pathway with the 1.5°C target of the Paris Agreement.
Zyxel’s validated near-term targets include reducing absolute Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG emissions by 42 percent by 2030 from a 2021 base year; and reducing absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions by 58.8 percent by 2034 from a 2023 base year.
Its long-term targets include reducing absolute Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG emissions 90 percent by 2050 from a 2021 base year; and reducing absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions 90 percent by 2050 from a 2023 base year.
To reach its goals, Zyxel has launched a low-carbon transformation strategy that include installing solar power systems to increase the use of renewable energy, implementing a digital carbon management platform to track and manage emissions data.
Other initiatives will see replacing outdated equipment with high-efficiency production technologies to enhance energy and operational efficiency.
In addition, Zyxel is engaging its supply chain in emissions reduction through green procurement practices, product carbon footprint management, and collaboration with suppliers to build a low-carbon value chain in partnership with global customers.
