In response to the global trend toward net-zero emissions, carbon footprint management across corporate supply chains has become a critical issue. In February 2025, the Institute for Information Industry (III) signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Fujitsu Taiwan to jointly promote low-carbon digital technologies. This strategic partnership aims to help enterprises proactively prepare for the rising wave of sustainability demands—often referred to as the "green tsunami."
The collaboration between the Institute for Information Industry (III) and Fujitsu Taiwan focuses on exploring innovative applications and strategies for green supply chains, with an emphasis on enhancing data transparency across supply chain operations. While starting from addressing the issue of enterprises’ carbon emissions management, the partnership aims to support supply chain partners in strengthening their data visibility—laying a solid foundation for sustainable future development. Leveraging combined expertise and resources, the two parties are jointly developing actionable strategies. With the support of III’s “Digital Sustainability Cloud”, which facilitates the exchange and collection of supply chain data, Fujitsu Taiwan can focus on implementing its ESG management platform solution package for single factory introduction under the Fujitsu Uvance business model—designed to address global social challenges. Through these efforts, the initiative is gradually building a comprehensive carbon emission factor database for Taiwan’s manufacturing sector, accelerating progress toward the 2050 net-zero carbon emissions target.
Dr. Johnny Huang, Chairman of the Institute for Information Industry (III), stated that Fujitsu Taiwan holds a leading edge in digital transformation and solution design, with services spanning government agencies, the retail sector, manufacturing, and healthcare. By combining respective expertise and experience from both sides, III and Fujitsu Taiwan aim to assist businesses in establishing robust carbon data management mechanisms—enhancing the overall competitiveness of Taiwan’s industries.
Dr. Johnny Huang emphasized that the transition to a low-carbon economy is not only a corporate responsibility but also an inevitable trend in the development of global supply chains. By leveraging a shared carbon data platform, businesses and their suppliers can effectively integrate carbon footprint data, promote carbon emission transparency, and build a sustainable green supply chain ecosystem.
Mr. Yen-Jen Wang, Chairman & CEO at Fujitsu Taiwan , stated, “As global attention on carbon reduction continues to grow, enterprises require robust data management and technological support to drive their low-carbon transformation. We are honored to collaborate with III to promote carbon data sharing and enhance the green competitiveness of industries. We also look forward to further cooperation in the field of sustainable development.”
In fact, III’s Digital Sustainability Cloud data exchange platform and Fujitsu’s ESG platform have successfully completed interoperability testing for their carbon data exchange systems via PACT (*see note) in November 2024, establishing a foundation for cross-border carbon emission data exchange. Additionally, as global decarbonization efforts advance, the implementation of carbon data sharing will significantly enhance the transparency and feasibility of supply chain management. which will also support industries in developing clear carbon reduction roadmaps, accelerating progress toward net-zero emissions, and creating new opportunities in the sustainable economy.
Note: PACT (Partnership for Carbon Transparency) is an initiative launched by the World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD) to promote the exchange of primary greenhouse gas emissions data between companies, with the goal of ensuring transparency in Scope 3 emissions.
