Creating Positive Environmental Impact

Since 2007, the Taiwan Headquarters has adhered to ISO 14064-1 standards to conduct organizational greenhouse gas inventories and has passed third-party verification. It calculates seven categories of greenhouse gases and has progressively expanded the organizational boundaries of the inventory. By 2024, the entire group scope has been fully incorporated, conducting organizational greenhouse gas verification in accordance with the GHG Protocol. In response to SBTi, a carbon reduction target pathway has been established, with the base year reset to 2023.
In accordance with MERRY 's greenhouse gas inventory advancement and the planned timeline for science-based reduction targets, the total greenhouse gas emissions for the entire group for 2022 and 2023 are expected to be finalized by the end of 2024, with the baseline year to be reset.

The total emissions for Scope 1 and Scope 2 in 2024 amount to 18,457.7139 tons CO2e, representing increase of 196.3301 tons CO2e(1.08%) compared to the baseline year 2023, which was 18,261.3838 tons CO2e; The combined Scope 1 and 2 emissions of the main production plants changed compared to 2023 as follows:

 

Since 2020, MERRY has conducted Scope 3 (Categories 3 to 6) greenhouse gas inventories in accordance with the ISO 14064-1:2018 standard. Beginning in 2024, inventories and verifications are carried out following the GHG Protocol, covering a total of 15 Scope 3 emission categories. The organizational boundary includes the entire group, and third-party verification has been completed by SGS. MERRY 's total emissions in 2024 amounted to 204,020.5976 tons of CO2e. Aside from newly added inventory items, the primary cause of the increase is sales growth. Among them, emissions from Category 3-1 Purchased Goods and Services represent a relatively high proportion; future efforts will continue in collaboration with the supply chain to reduce carbon emissions.

Since 2016, the Taiwan headquarters has implemented the ISO 50001 Energy Management System, subsequently expanding to MECL and MEVN, continuously obtaining certifications to systematically execute various energy-saving and carbon reduction measures, as well as upgrading energy-efficient equipment. In recent years, a phased establishment of the energy management system has been developed, utilizing digital systems to automatically collect data and proactively monitor energy consumption, thereby improving energy-saving effectiveness annually.

In 2024, MERRY RE100 commitment scope consumed a total of 13,994 MWh of renewable electricity, accounting for 43.11% of total electricity consumption, representing a 100.54% increase in total renewable energy compared to 2023; Of this, 4,624 MWh was direct use of renewable energy, an increase of 108.59% compared to the previous year's direct renewable electricity supply, while the remaining 9,370 MWh was procured through renewable energy certificates. MERRY will continue to promote the use of renewable electricity across all operational sites, consolidating successful experiences from each location to replicate at others, thereby fulfilling the commitment to RE100 and achieving the environmental sustainability goal of carbon neutrality by 2040.
