Acer Publishes 2024 Sustainability Report; Achieves 60% Renewable Electricity Usage Ahead of Target
Thursday, September 4, 2025
TAIPEI, Aug. 28, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Acer has published its 2024 Sustainability Report, providing a holistic account of the group's performance in environmental, social, and governance (ESG) areas. Demonstrating its commitment to long-term sustainability, Acer continues to evolve with the industry by innovating in existing businesses, delivering eco-conscious designs and solutions, while expanding its multiple business engines.
Highlights of key milestones over the past year include sourcing 60% of electricity the Acer group used from renewable means, achieving its target one year ahead of schedule and on track to its pledge of sourcing 100% renewable electricity (RE100) by 2035. Among its critical suppliers, 81% have either committed to RE100 or set science-based carbon reduction targets (SBT) in 2024. In product design, Acer introduced its first carbon-neutral laptop, the Aspire Vero 16, which later incorporated bio-based oyster shell material.
From 2020 to 2024, Acer produced more than 50 million computers and monitors using post-consumer recycled plastics. Furthermore, the signing of a Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) solutions agreement with logistics partners illustrates how Acer has taken action to reduce emissions across its entire product lifecycle, from manufacturing, production, to transportation.
Acer's commitment to reduce the burden on the environment has continued to win industry recognition, global awards and accolades. In 2024, the company was ranked in the Corporate Knights 2024 Clean200(TM) list of the 200 largest public companies by clean revenue. Acer made its debut on the TIME World's Most Sustainable Companies and the Dow Jones Sustainability World Index, which comprises global sustainability leaders identified by S&P Global's Corporate Sustainability Assessment. At the same time, Acer was listed on DSJI's Emerging Markets Index for the 11th consecutive year, among the Top 5% of companies in the S&P Global Sustainability Yearbook for the fifth consecutive year, and in the MSCI ESG Leaders Indexes for the 11th year, maintaining the best rating of "AAA" in its category since 2021. For the third straight year, Acer received the Platinum medal from EcoVadis' Sustainability Rating, placing the company among the top 1% of companies rated.
Looking ahead, Acer will continue marching forward to achieve its ESG goals, ultimately reaching 100% renewable electricity by 2035 and net zero by 2050.
