Metrics and Targets
To effectively manage and respond to climate risks faced by Ardentec, and to demonstrate to stakeholders the Company's concrete actions and commitment to combating climate change, Ardentec joined the RE100 initiative (100% Renewable Energy, RE100) in 2023. The Company has pledged that all global sites will achieve 100% renewable energy usage by 2050, aligning with international sustainability initiatives. Regarding carbon reduction targets, Ardentec submitted its SBTi Near-term Target Application in 2025 and was officially verified in April 2026. The approved near-term targets through 2035 are based on the SBTi's scientific methods and are consistent with a scenario that limits warming to less than 1.5ºC. By collaboratively planning more proactive carbon reduction pathways with international benchmarks and using its influence to drive decarbonization across the supply chain, the Company aims to gradually realize its self-imposed vision of achieving Net Zero emissions by 2050 as the ultimate goal. To mitigate the potential impacts of escalating physical climate related disasters on Ardentec, the Company has established a continuous objective of preventing any climate risks from disrupting its operations. In line with this commitment, Ardentec's headquarters obtained certification for ISO 22301:2019 (Business Continuity Management Systems) in 2021. This ensures that the Company is well-prepared and capable of responding promptly to any physical climate-related events, and can swiftly resume operations to meet its highest business continuity objectives.
