AU Optronics: Gathering green power to create a new future of plastic reduction and recycling

Against the background of actively practicing sustainable development around the world, AU Optronics is unswervingly committed to value transformation, giving full play to the group's comprehensive effects and strong strength, and carefully creating a series of diverse green solutions covering energy management, renewable energy, resource recycling, etc. Multiple green solutions in multiple fields. This year, AUO Optronics made its fifth appearance in 2025 Touch Taiwan's net-zero carbon emissions and new energy zone. With Beyond ESG and Partnering for Green Solution as its core concepts, it has carefully planned exhibitions with various business segments of the group to comprehensively demonstrate its outstanding achievements in the field of green development. Innovative practice.

Integrating green technology and building low-carbon building solutions

Facing the urgent global trend of net-zero emissions, AUO Optronics fully integrates the rich resources of its AUO Opponics, AUO Digital and energy industries to launch a comprehensive carbon-neutral building solution that integrates energy conservation, energy creation, energy management, electricity sales and services. This innovative solution includes multiple core components such as net-zero smart building systems, deep energy conservation services (ESCO), smart ice machine energy conservation solutions, and renewable energy power services.
In the field of energy conservation, AU Upei actively responded to the public sector's deep energy conservation promotion plan, and was rated as a high-quality provider of Deep Energy Conservation Services (ESCO) with its excellent technology and service capabilities. By cleverly connecting carbon management and energy conservation management systems, AU Upei can tailor diversified, flexible and efficient energy conservation strategies for customers. Since 2019, it has successfully helped customers save up to 104 million kilowatt-hours of electricity, setting an excellent example in the field of energy conservation.

In terms of energy creation, energy management and power sales services, AUO Power, a subsidiary of AUO, actively launches renewable energy power services, effectively solving complex and cumbersome problems in the renewable energy management process. With the help of an intelligent advanced management system, AU Power has successfully built an efficient bridge between power generation plants and power customers, realizing everything from power sales and purchase contract signing and payment processes to power generation data monitoring, power matching scheduling and voucher management. Comprehensive and refined management of all aspects has greatly improved the stability and management efficiency of renewable energy power supply.
With the vigorous development of smart city construction, the demand for smart buildings is increasing day by day. Relying on the group's rich practical experience and strong integration capabilities, AU Optronics has successfully built the AU GRC headquarters building into the first carbon-neutral building in Taiwan to obtain ISO 14068 - 1:2023 certification. This achievement not only demonstrates AUO's leading position in the field of green buildings, but also provides the entire industry with low-carbon and near-zero building solutions with great reference value, leading the industry towards a new journey of green development.

Industry-university-research linkage to create a plastic reduction and resource recycling ecosystem AU

Optronics has always adhered to the concept of circular economy and comprehensively presented its remarkable results and positive practices in the two major plastic reduction directions of production and employee action through the plastic reduction action exhibition area, which is highly in line with the international community's focus on plastic reduction and biodiversity protection.
In the production and manufacturing process, AU Optronics adheres to a comprehensive management thinking from source to end, and strictly controls all stages such as procurement and supply, manufacturing, and disposal. The exhibition displays a series of plastic carriers, wound films, filter cores and other products made of recycled materials, as well as aluminum-plastic separation projects that implement well-classified classification. In 2024 alone, AU Optronics has successfully achieved source plastic reduction by more than 400 metric tons, making outstanding contributions to reducing plastic pollution and promoting resource recycling.
In terms of employee actions, AU Optronics actively promotes the concept of" plastic reduction life circle" and cultivates employees 'environmental literacy through a series of colorful soft activities. At the same time, give full play to innovative thinking, recycle and reuse waste plastic produced in the office, and carefully make it into practical daily items such as folding umbrellas, garbage bags, and tote bags. These items are not only for daily use by employees, but also serve as external gifts, vividly spreading AUO's plastic reduction concept and environmental protection philosophy.
AU Optronics has always adhered to the development spirit of jointly creating and building a common good. Its plastic reduction action has successfully attracted 37 partners from all walks of life, industry and research to actively participate, forming a strong plastic reduction ecosystem and greatly expanding the impact of the action. Force and practical effect. In terms of research and development of waste plastic reuse technology, AU Optronics and the Plastics Industry Technology Development Center have jointly carried out a number of important projects and formally signed a memorandum of cooperation at this exhibition. The two sides promised to work together to reduce plastic pollution, promote circular transformation, deepen cooperation in many key areas such as technology research and development, regulation adjustment, education promotion, and international information and industry exchanges, and work together to accelerate the green transformation process of the entire industry.

Practicing green exhibitions and moving towards a sustainable future

In order to effectively implement the concept of low-carbon and circular development, AUO Optronics fully continued the core concept of green exhibitions during the exhibition layout process this year. Through a series of effective measures such as comprehensive use of recyclable materials, rational use of previous exhibition area layouts, and extensive use of digital methods to replace traditional printed outputs, a zero-waste green exhibition area has been successfully created, making a vivid demonstration for sustainable development.
Looking to the future, AU Optronics will continue to be driven by technological innovation, actively connect many partners in the internal and external value chain, and continuously build more diverse and complete sustainable solutions. With its rich experience and strong strength, AU Optronics will make every effort to help various industries move steadily towards the direction of green transformation and work together to create a better and sustainable new future. On the road to green development, AU Optronics is not only an advocate, but also a firm practitioner and leader. It is contributing its strength to global sustainable development with practical actions.
