In accordance with the PLANET 2050 Net-Zero Roadmap (Scope 1 & 2), PLANET establishes annual targets for absolute greenhouse gas emissions reduction and emissions intensity reduction (Scope 1 & 2), and regularly reviews the effectiveness of implementation.
◾ Expanding Green Electricity Deployment for a Net-Zero Future
The use of green electricity is one of the key strategies in PLANET’s net-zero carbon emissions roadmap. In 2020, PLANET began laying the groundwork for green electricity adoption by signing a memorandum of understanding with a green power provider. In 2021, the Company formalized its commitment by signing a Renewable Energy Power and Certificate Purchase Agreement. In 2022, PLANET joined the "Climate Declaration" RE10x10 initiative, pledging to use at least 10% green power in its total power consumption by 2025. In July of the same year, PLANET officially began using green power. In 2025, a total of 104,628 kWh of green power was used, accounting for 16.2% of the Company's total electricity consumption, which fell short of the annual target. The main reason was the significant reduction in power generation due to damage to the solar power plant caused by a typhoon. Meanwhile, through the use of green energy, carbon emissions were reduced by 49.5937 tCO2e, and 150 Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) were obtained. Since 2022, a total of 416 Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) have been accumulated.
◾ Smart Energy Conservation and Energy Management Enhance
Operational Carbon Reduction Results PLANET systematically optimizes equipment operation efficiency and energy usage behavior through the replacement of central air conditioning equipment and the implementation of the AI Energy Management Solution (NMS-AIoT). The relevant energysaving measures are projected to cumulatively save approximately 42,000 kWh of electricity in 2025, which is equivalent to reducing GHG emissions by about 20.7 tCO2e. This effectively lowers Scope 2 emissions and serves as a crucial foundational action for the company to advance on the SBTi 1.5°C carbon reduction pathway.
◾ Supply Chain Carbon Reduction and Capacity Building
PLANET promotes carbon management among suppliers through the "Large Enterprises Leading Small" model. By providing counseling for carbon inventories, education and training, and improvement suggestions, PLANET gradually guides suppliers in developing GHG management capabilities.
During the program period, 11 key suppliers were led through low carbon transformation, delivering a carbon reduction benefit of 973 tCO2e.
For three consecutive years, PLANET has used DHL International Expresses new GoGreen Plus service, employing a fixed proportion of sustainable aviation fuels during cargo transportation to accelerate the achievement of its sustainability commitment to net-zero carbon emissions by 2050. Through this project, PLANET reduced transportation-related carbon emissions by 26.6 tCO2e in 2025, achieving an 11% reduction. The emission reduction results were verified by third-party organization SGS.
◾ PLANET 2030 Nature Positive
PLANET, centered on natural restoration and ecosystem regeneration, promotes naturepositive development and continues to collaborate with local residents and stakeholders in executing ecological conservation actions.
