KMC was selected by Business Weekly as one of the "Top 100 Companies with Carbon Competitiveness" in 2024, making it the only company in the sports and leisure industry to receive this recognition. This accolade highlights KMC's dedication to sustainable development.
Guided by the corporate vision, "Together, We Achieve Better," and the KMC brand's design philosophy of "Infinite Connection," KMC aligns with the United Nations 2030 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The company focuses on four key sustainability objectives: Transparent Corporate Governance, Commitment to Environmental Sustainability, Creating a Friendly Workplace, and Building a Better Society. These goals drive various sustainable actions based on the company's operations, aiming to foster a positive sustainability cycle within the industry and supply chain.
As early as 2011, KMC initiated its product carbon footprint program, conducting carbon footprint assessments for key products. The company obtained product carbon footprint verification statements in 2011, 2012, and 2014. To produce more environmentally friendly products, KMC plans to invest additional resources in research and development to design eco-friendlier, more durable, and lower-carbon products, creating a green cycle and reducing the planet’s burden.
In recent years, the United Nations Climate Change Conference of the Parties (UNFCCC) has repeatedly issued warnings to member states about the Failure of Climate-Change Adaptation. In response to global climate change initiatives, KMC implemented ISO 14064-1:2018 greenhouse gas inventory standards in January 2022. The company also joined the Bicycling Alliance for Sustainability (BAS), aligning with Taiwan's bicycle industry's vision of "Riding Towards a Better Future." In line with BAS carbon reduction goals, KMC has set its own target: "Reducing carbon emissions by 3% annually and achieving at least a 25% reduction by 2030." In 2023, KMC established an internal carbon management platform to facilitate the completion of greenhouse gas inventories for all subsidiaries by 2027, steadily advancing its sustainability objectives.
As KMC progresses on the path to sustainable development, the company remains committed to the belief that "Only by achieving mutual benefit can we do better," fostering collaboration and creating multi-win solutions. KMC strives to be the most trusted and passionate strategic partner in the global bicycle industry. Together with its partners, the company envisions transforming the bicycle industry into a practitioner of "Production," "Lifestyle," "Life," and "Ecology" across all dimensions, working collectively to achieve the dual goals of Net Zero Mobility and Net Zero Manufacturing. KMC will continue to uphold its commitment to sustainability, driving innovation and continuous improvement.
