Hsinchu, Taiwan, R.O.C. – Feb. 04, 2025 – Winbond Electronics Corporation has reaffirmed its commitment to sustainability to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050. As part of this initiative, Winbond is proud to announce that renewable energy-manufactured products have begun shipping to leading ESG-focused customers. These innovative products can reduce carbon emissions by around 60% compared to standard offerings, marking a significant milestone in Winbond’s efforts to align with market trends on ESG and meet the rising demand for eco-friendly and energy-efficient products.
Winbond’s proprietary carbon accounting system can monitor the electricity consumption and corresponding carbon emissions of all product manufacturing processes, including in-house wafer fabrications as well as all processes at OSAT (Outsourced Semiconductor Assembly and Test) facilities.

In addition to developing green products through innovative design and manufacturing, Winbond is also committed to addressing issues related to renewable energy and environmental protection, leading to steady progress and remarkable results in recent years, including:
- Projected renewable energy procurement reaching 66.6 million kWh/year by the end of 2024
