Building a Green, Low-Carbon Supply Chain

To accelerate the creation of a green, low-carbon supply chain, improve production efficiency, and reduce Scope 3 greenhouse gas emissions, Radiant Opto-Electronics considers cost, supply quality, delivery timelines, and risk factors, prioritizing "local sourcing" as a key factor in supplier selection. The Company systematically plans to increase the annual goal ratio of local sourcing. In recent years, Radiant Opto-Electronics has actively adopted localized procurement, encouraging suppliers to establish manufacturing facilities locally to reduce energy consumption from air and sea transport, and to shorten lead times.

Analyzing the supplier transaction volumes for 2024, the Kaohsiung plant accounted for the highest percentage at 52.88%, while the Guangzhou plant was relatively lower at 7.03%. Overall transactions were predominantly in raw material purchases, accounting for 94.54%. In 2024, the overall local sourcing ratio for the entire group reached 50.22%, with the mainland China plants achieving a local sourcing ratio of 47.12%. The discrepancy in these figures is attributed to adjustments in trading models and price fluctuations.

The courses focus on sustainable development, global carbon pricing, domestic and international net-zero trends, basic carbon management knowledge, energy-saving and carbon reduction case studies, greenhouse gas inventory explanations, and carbon inventory tool exercises. Post-course quizzes are provided to ensure effective learning for supplier partners.
