The white paper gives suggestions to further enhance the acceleration of carbon reduction from four aspects: improving the enterprise’s “value delivery ability”, “carbon asset management ability”, “technology and innovation ability”, and “ecosystem collaboration ability”.
1 In terms of value delivery capability
From achieving sustainability in their own operations to enabling sustainability in their customers and partners, companies need to establish sustainability committees and corresponding accountability systems at the organizational level, develop sustainability roadmaps and performance indicators at the operational level, and deeply integrate sustainability concepts into the main business from the perspective of supply chain and brand value
2. In terms of carbon asset management capabilities
The core of enterprise carbon footprint measurement lies in carbon emission data management, among which the accuracy and authenticity of emission source data monitoring is crucial to enterprise carbon footprint management. Therefore, enterprises
need to pay attention to the improvement of carbon emission data monitoring capabilities. In addition, enterprises should make flexible use of green finance and carbon finance tools to promote low-carbon transformation and financial planning, and strengthen the management of carbon emission rights, including the management of carbon emission information, cap-and-trade and emission reduction projects with carbon credit value.
3. In terms of technology and innovation capability
5G, big data, blockchain, artificial intelligence, cloud computing and other new generation of information technology is leading a new round of technological change, enterprises must seize the industrial change opportunities brought by information technology, focus on the continuous development of digital technology, to achieve the comprehensive allocation of internal resources optimization and business operation management optimization. The white paper suggests that enterprises should continue to improve their technological and innovation capabilities in digital operation management, terminal electrification, innovative energy efficiency management, recycling technology, and renewable energy substitution
4. In terms of ecosystem synergy
Building an industry-wide ecosystem is the key to achieving carbon neutrality. The achievement of the carbon neutrality goal of enterprises must be inseparable from the joint efforts of upstream and downstream enterprises and collaborative cooperation with suppliers and customers. To this end, the white paper from the supply chain, industrial chain, research and development institutions and communities and other aspects of collaboration, put forward to strengthen the electronic information manufacturing industry low-carbon emission reduction, promote the transformation of technology to application, promote energy conservation and carbon reduction in industrial parks and other practical suggestions
Based on the transformation objectives and the systematic recommendations of the four capabilities, the low carbon sustainable transformation of the electronics industry needs to be measured more clearly. In this regard, the white paper establishes first-level indicators from seven aspects, such as energy, materials, greenhouse gases, pollutants and waste, and water, and gives the principles of sustainable measurement indicators covering the whole life cycle of electronic factories from design and construction to operation and maintenance.
The establishment of this principle takes into account the low-carbon and clean energy use, the comprehensive utilization efficiency of resources, and the whole cycle of the value chain, and guides the improvement of the environmental performance of various processes and links of enterprises. In the selection of indicators, “key, availability, quantification, comparison” as the screening principle, in order to provide a clear path map for the sustainable development of the industry.
Case proof
Under the background of the “dual carbon” strategy, green low-carbon transformation has become the “hard foundation” for the high-quality development of the electronics industry, and it is also the “golden key” for industry enterprises to base themselves on the present and win the future.
Shijia has been deeply engaged in the industry, and led by sustainable development consulting services, through digital platforms and digital services, as well as full life cycle distribution solutions and rich ecosystem resources, to help customers easily cope with energy challenges, optimize their plant design and construction level, improve operational efficiency, and escort the sustainable development of customers in the electronics industry.
