Words from Chairman
To reduce the impact of climate change and global warming, more than 150 countries worldwide have declared or planned to achieve net-zero emissions of the greenhouse gas by 2050. In Taiwan, the “Climate Change Response Act” was promulgated and implemented on February 15, 2023, incorporating the goal of net-zero emissions by 2050. As a leading company in the domestic aerospace industry, AIDC realizes its significant responsibility and has mapped out the paths and phased goals toward achieving carbon neutrality by 2050. We have established the “Carbon Neutrality Promotion Group” under the “ESG Committee” to promote initiatives, such as energy conservation and emission reduction, solar power installation, and waste reduction projects by a top-down approach thoroughly to actively confront the challenges of achieving net-zero emissions.
In response to the global goal of net-zero emissions achievement by 2050, Taiwanese government works for energy transformations as well as renewable energy development that additionally has driven a rapid growth in demand for energy storage technologies and quick-start power generation equipment. In alignment with national policies, AIDC has leveraged its technological strengths applying its advanced aerospace technologies to energy-related businesses, which includes energy storage systems, microgrids (power islands), combined cycle power plants, gas turbine power generation, and other green energy fields. In 2021, we established a 5MW energy storage system, which successfully joined Taiwan Power Company’s electricity trading platform to provide ancillary services. By the end of 2023, AIDC had independently built three energy storage sites that continue to contribute stable revenue. Moreover, AIDC has built a solid reputation and visibility through turnkey projects of power plants for Taiwan Power Company (Tongxiao) and CPC Corporation (Yongan and Wuci). Furthermore, AIDC has collaborated with General Electric to build gas turbine generator units and signed a memorandum of understanding with Fluence Energy Inc., which is a global market leader of energy storage products and solutions. With the support of top energy storage system suppliers, AIDC is able to promote and to deploy microgrid (power island) applications and behind-the-meter energy storage solutions for large electric power users. Meanwhile, we are investing in independent development of energy and battery management systems and aiming to assist more domestic enterprises in their transitions, expecting that these investments could serve to improve the stability and flexibility of domestic power grid.
AIDC understands all impacts on the stakeholders and is fully committed to the ESG core values of the “Corporate Governance”, the “Social Responsibility”, and the “Environmental Friendliness” in pursuit of sustainable operations. In 2024, our ongoing efforts received wide recognition, including being selected as the constituent stock in the “Taiwan Corporate Governance 100 Index” and the “Taiwan Employment 99 Index” by the Taiwan Index Plus Corporation, and being awarded the Silver Award of the “Energy Efficiency Benchmark Award” by the Ministry of Economic Affairs, and the “Excellence Award in the Go-Healthy-at-Work program”. Furthermore, a collective agreement was signed with the Shalu plant labor union for favorable labor-management communications. AIDC will continue to focus on sustainable development by integrating innovative technologies and green solutions in the future to promote the transformation and upgrade in the aerospace industry. In addition, we will also collaborate with our supply chain partners closely to build a better resilient and sustainable industrial ecosystem. One of our missions is to practice ESG values. AIDC will contribute to social inclusion, environmental sustainability, and flexibility of corporate development to create a better future for next generations.
