Following Acer’s Circular Economies Model

Acer Gadget, guided by the spirit of its parent company Acer Group, actively promotes efficient resource utilization and sustainable product development under the framework of the circular economy. The circular economy emphasizes closed-loop resource management, reducing waste and enabling regeneration. This principle profoundly shapes Acer Gadget’s product and business strategies. The objectives of this chapter also echo Climate Governance Blueprint and Sustainability Transformation outlined in Chapter 6, covering low-carbon product design and resource management.

The Vero series exemplifies Acer Gadget’s commitment to sustainability through its product and packaging design.

● The main casing of Vero products uses post-consumer recycled (PCR) plastic, reducing reliance on virgin plastics and lowering carbon emissions.
● Some Vero product lines have already achieved a high proportion of recycled material usage, with plans to further expand the application of eco-friendly materials.

● Eco-friendly printing is adopted to reduce ink and chemical usage, minimizing environmental risks.
● Packaging materials are 100% recyclable, with reduced plastic liners replaced by paper-based protective materials instead of foam plastics.
● Through these designs, carbon emissions and waste generation across the product life cycle are gradually reduced.

● Acer Gadget actively seeks material circularity, promotes environmental standards within the supply chain, and optimizes recycling and reuse mechanisms.
● In internal operations and product design, waste management is continuously improved to ensure recyclable resources are properly utilized, further reducing environmental impacts.

Acer Gadget has gradually adopted recycled materials and eco-friendly design while developing internal ESG data management mechanisms. Although the system is still maturing and some indicators are incomplete, the Company is enhancing transparency through supply chain collaboration, product carbon footprint assessments, and data management initiatives to align with international ESG frameworks such as GRI and SASB.

Acer Gadget has defined the key directions for sustainable product development and set short-and medium/long-term goals. To achieve them, the Company must address challenges such as data acquisition, system development, and ESG integration. In particular, effective carbon emission monitoring and recycled material tracking will require cross-departmental collaboration and resources. Acer Gadget will continue strengthening its foundation, enhancing tracking capacity, and building real-time feedback mechanisms to ensure more effective ESG implementation.
