在2050净零的大目标下，每一个产业都无法置身事外，纷纷提出减碳愿景(vision of carbon reduction)。也因此，几乎每一家企业都有需要达成的减碳目标。富迪希望可以成为客户永续供应链中最坚实的伙伴，因此当富迪看见客户的减碳需求时，主动提出减碳方案（carbon reduction solution)，在2022年末启动重点客户换纸专案，并在2023成功协助关键客户完成换纸换料。将原本国外进口的原料，换成百分百在地采购原料，实现在地生产的永续供应链管理目标。
富迪的客户主要生产3C产品，并在台湾交货，这些产品在外观设计与产品保护方面有着极高的要求，同时也需要考虑成本。过去，客户指定的用纸来自中国大陆与纽西兰，起先导入时也经过一系列测试后，才得以量产，并一直沿用至今。然而，这种做法需仰赖国外进口的原料，在运输的过程中难免产生了大量的碳排放。
当富迪看见客户对减碳有着迫切需求时，我们深知这不仅是客户的责任，也是我们的责任。我们开始积极寻找解决方案，以帮助客户实现减碳目标。在经过多方的研究与搜寻之后，我们成功在台湾找到一款原料，我们相信可以完美满足客户的需求。然而，这款原料的单价稍高，对客户来说价钱上缺乏竞争力。若我们要议和客户改用这种在地生产的原料，就必须重新进行各种环境测试，包括落摔、震动、高低温差等，这可能会增加额外的测试成本，让客户望而却步。
然而，富迪深信减少碳足迹对客户的减碳目标绝对有着正面的影响，我们坚信这是正确的道路。因此，富迪积极克服各种困难，提出议和客户换料，并愿意承担部分换料成本，以确保客户达到其减碳目标。
透过不断地议和，与坚决成事的信心，富迪成功协助客户换纸完成。目前此客户的产品包装已经达到百分百在地采购与生产的永续供应链管理目标，也大幅降低了原料由国外运输至台湾的碳排量。
下一篇文章，富迪想与各位谈谈为什么我们认为在地采购这么重要。

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.
