Renewable energies, often called clean energy, come from natural sources or constantly replenished processes, like sunlight or wind. In the face of a changing global climate, They are becoming a more critical power source, and an increasing amount of corporations are adopting them for environmental protection.
In 2023, CyberLink used 905 kWh of power, equivalent to 448.1 metric tons of CO2e. (Emission factors based on data released in 2022 by the Bureau of Energy stating that 1 kWh is equivalent to 0.495 kg of CO2e)
To show CyberLink’s commitment to sustainability and corporate responsibility, the board of directors has approved the adoption of renewable energy in July 2021. Starting from 2021, for a ten-year period, CyberLink will gradually increase the adoption of green energy by 10% year over year.
