在2050淨零的大目標下，每一個產業都無法置身事外，紛紛提出減碳願景(vision of carbon reduction)。也因此，幾乎每一家企業都有需要達成的減碳目標。富迪希望可以成為客戶永續供應鏈中最堅實的夥伴，因此當富迪看見客戶的減碳需求時，主動提出減碳方案（carbon reduction solution)，在2022年末啟動重點客戶換紙專案，並在2023成功協助關鍵客戶完成換紙換料。將原本國外進口的原料，換成百分百在地採購原料，實現在地生產的永續供應鏈管理目標。
富迪的客戶主要生產3C產品，並在台灣交貨，這些產品在外觀設計與產品保護方面有著極高的要求，同時也需要考慮成本。過去，客戶指定的用紙來自中國大陸與紐西蘭，起先導入時也經過一系列測試後，才得以量產，並一直沿用至今。然而，這種做法需仰賴國外進口的原料，在運輸的過程中難免產生了大量的碳排放。
當富迪看見客戶對減碳有著迫切需求時，我們深知這不僅是客戶的責任，也是我們的責任。我們開始積極尋找解決方案，以幫助客戶實現減碳目標。在經過多方的研究與搜尋之後，我們成功在台灣找到一款原料，我們相信可以完美滿足客戶的需求。然而，這款原料的單價稍高，對客戶來說價錢上缺乏競爭力。若我們要議和客戶改用這種在地生產的原料，就必須重新進行各種環境測試，包括落摔、震動、高低溫差等，這可能會增加額外的測試成本，讓客戶望而卻步。
然而，富迪深信減少碳足跡對客戶的減碳目標絕對有著正面的影響，我們堅信這是正確的道路。因此，富迪積極克服各種困難，提出議和客戶換料，並願意承擔部分換料成本，以確保客戶達到其減碳目標。
透過不斷地議和，與堅決成事的信心，富迪成功協助客戶換紙完成。目前此客戶的產品包裝已經達到百分百在地採購與生產的永續供應鏈管理目標，也大幅降低了原料由國外運輸至台灣的碳排量。
下一篇文章，富迪想與各位談談為什麽我們認為在地採購這麼重要。

With the ambitious goal of achieving net-zero emissions by 2050, every industry is actively seeking ways to reduce their carbon footprint. Consequently, nearly every business has carbon reduction objectives to fulfill. Fudy aims to become a solid partner in our customers’ sustainable supply chains and, in line with the growing emphasis on carbon reduction, we proactively proposed a solution. We initiated a key customer paper and material replacement project at the end of 2022 and successfully assisted crucial customers in completing the transition from foreign-imported materials to locally sourced materials in 2023, aligning with their sustainable supply chain management goals and contributing to overall carbon reduction efforts.
Fudy’s customers primarily manufacture 3C products and require high standards in terms of product design and protection while also considering costs. In the past, the paper specified by customers came from Mainland China and New Zealand. It went through a series of tests before mass production, and this choice remained in use until recently. However, this approach relied on imported materials, inevitably leading to significant carbon emissions during transportation.
When Fudy noticed the urgent need for carbon reduction from our customers, we understood that this responsibility extended beyond our clients to us. We began actively searching for solutions to help our customers achieve their carbon reduction goals. After extensive research and exploration, we found a material in Taiwan that we believed could perfectly meet our customer’s needs. However, this material came at a slightly higher cost, making it less competitive for the customer. To persuade our customer to switch to this locally produced material, we needed to undergo various environmental tests, including drop tests, vibration tests, temperature variation tests, and others. This would potentially add extra testing costs and make the customer hesitant.
Nevertheless, Fudy firmly believed that reducing carbon emissions would have a positive impact on our customer’s carbon reduction goals, and we were certain it was the right path. Therefore, we actively overcame various obstacles, proposed the material replacement to the customer, and were willing to share part of the replacement costs to ensure the customer achieved their carbon reduction goals.
Through continuous negotiations and unwavering determination, Fudy successfully assisted the customer in completing the paper replacement. Currently, this customer’s product packaging has achieved a sustainable supply chain management goal of 100% local sourcing and production, significantly reducing carbon emissions associated with material transportation from abroad to Taiwan.
In our next article, Fudy will discuss why we believe local sourcing is so crucial.
