KMC embodies the corporate vision of “Better Together,” aligning its brand philosophy, "Limitless Chain," with its commitment to sustainability. As a trusted global strategic partner in the bicycle industry, KMC continues to lead in sustainable development. In 2024, KMC was honored as one of Business Weekly’s “Top 100 Carbon Competitiveness Companies”, the only company in the sports and leisure sector to be recognized, showcasing its exceptional achievements in sustainability.

Aligned with the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), KMC has established four core sustainability goals:

1. Transparent Corporate Governance: Upholding integrity and transparency to ensure sustainable and efficient operations.
2. Commitment to Environmental Sustainability: Comprehensive carbon reduction initiatives from product design to manufacturing and energy management, advancing the green circular economy.
3. Fostering a Friendly Workplace: Prioritizing employee well-being and cultivating a diverse and inclusive work environment to enhance happiness and cohesion.
4. Creating a Better Society Together: Giving back to the community and driving positive sustainable practices across the supply chain.

Green Manufacturing: Innovation Meets Sustainability

KMC pioneered the industry by launching its carbon footprint program in 2011, obtaining certifications and continuously investing in the development of low-carbon, durable, and eco-friendly products. This approach not only minimizes environmental impact but also advances the vision of a "green circular economy."

In response to warnings from the UN Climate Change Conference regarding the failure to adapt to climate change, KMC adopted the ISO14064-1:2018 greenhouse gas inventory standard in 2022. It also joined the Bicycling Alliance for Sustainability (BAS), supporting its vision of “Riding Toward a Net Positive Future.” KMC has committed to reducing carbon emissions by 3% annually and achieving a minimum 25% reduction by 2030.

In 2023, KMC established an internal carbon management platform and began systematically rolling out greenhouse gas inventories across its subsidiaries to achieve net-zero emissions. Through short-, medium-, and long-term carbon reduction strategies, KMC continues to enhance production processes, improve energy efficiency, and reduce material waste. Partnerships with recycling specialists and the procurement of green electricity further demonstrate KMC’s concrete efforts in sustainability. Moreover, the company has integrated sustainability into its exhibition designs, using reusable materials at the Taipei International Cycle Show since 2023 to minimize waste and showcase its environmental commitment.

Advocating Circular Economy and Environmental Awareness

KMC also leads by example in promoting the circular economy. After introducing coffee grounds eco-cups and bamboo tableware, KMC launched rice husk-based multifunctional boxes as corporate gifts this year. These innovative gifts are designed to reduce single-use tableware, encourage reuse, and breathe new life into discarded materials. This approach not only reduces waste but also conserves resources, lessening the burden on our planet.

Each gift carries practical value and symbolizes KMC’s unwavering dedication to sustainability. Through these initiatives, KMC aims to inspire industries and communities to integrate sustainable practices into daily life.

KMC calls on everyone to take action to protect our one and only Earth. Let us work together for a greener, bluer future. On this journey toward sustainability, KMC invites you to join us. Together, let’s Go Green with KMC!
