GHG Management
GHG Inventory
From Nearly Zero to Net Zero
"Net-zero emissions" is the top priority of climate action. Not only have governments around the world announced net-zero emissions targets, companies also actively planned the net-zero pathway. As a leader in the real estate service in Taiwan, Sinyi Realty takes the lead in setting "Get to Net Zero" as one of the Sinyi Sustainable Principles, aiming that Sinyi Realty and Sinyi Group achieve net zero in 2030 and 2050 respectively. We have taken part in international and domestic climate initiatives; proactively taken GHG inventory; promoted carbon-neutral and sustainable branches; supported renewable energy, etc. We have been reducing carbon emissions with the hope to become a model for green real estate service.
Sinyi Realty’s emission reduction target is in line with the Paris Agreement 1.5°C goal and approved by SBTi.
Sinyi Realty has joined the Net Zero X 2030/2050 Initiative, and committed to achieve the goal of Net Zero by 2030.
Sinyi Realty obtained Net Zero Label, “Bronze Level”.

GHG Inventory and Carbon Reduction Management
Sinyi Realty has proactively taken greenhouse gas (GHG) inventory and carbon management. We have not only been conducting GHG inventory for headquarters building since 2014 but also expanded to all branches since 2017. From 2023 to 2024, we gradually completed GHG inventories for overseas sites, covering Japan, Malaysia, and Mainland China. In response to stakeholders' concerns. We periodically disclose the environmental performance on different platforms such as Sinyi Realty Sustainability Report, our webtsite, and CDP, so the stakeholders can access our reduction targets and progress.
Sinyi Realty has be in CDP Climate Change Leadership A list 3 years in a row by 2024.
GHG emissions (scope 1+2) in 2025 was reduced by 48.26% compared to 2017.
The headquarters building and branches were been supplied by renewable energy. 2,483 MWh renewable energy was used, accounted for 22% of total electricity consumed in 2024.
GHG Inventory of 100% Operations Sinyi Realty’s Operating Boundary

Sinyi Realty’s Carbon Management Performance
For the purpose of Sinyi’s organizational carbon management, management system enhancement, and emissions reduction, we have introduced ISO 14064-1 and ISO 50001. Since we discovered that emissions of electricity consumption accounted for 90% of GHG emissions (category 1+2), we had put emphasis on energy management. We continuously updated the equipment of our headquarters and branches, purchasing eco-friendly equipment with energy- saving- or eco-labels, introducing EMS and adopting visualization services as well as air conditioners and lighting control to get energy data for optimizing energy efficiency. In 2025, the GHG emissions (category 1+2) totaled 3,366.597 tCO₂e, representing a 26.66% decrease from the previous year and a 48.26% decrease from the 2017 baseline year.

Sinyi’s Performance Respond to the Special Report on Global Warming of 1.5°C (IPCC)
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change(IPCC) published the Special Report on Global Warming of 1.5°C in 2018, pointing out that to limit global warming to 1.5°C, which is the goal of Paris Agreement, the world needs to “reduce about 45% emissions from 2010 levels by 2030, reach net zero around 2050”.
Sinyi has responded to the 1.5°C goal of Paris Agreement. Because our carbon emissions of electricity consumption account for more than 90% of GHG emissions (scope 1+2), we have calculated our carbon emissions of electricity consumption (scope 2) since 2010.
In addition, Sinyi has participated in the SBTi initiative and set the GHG emission target of " to achieve a 90% reduction in GHG emissions(scope 1+2) by 2030.”(Base year: 2017). In 2025, the GHG emissions (category 1+2) was reduce by 48.26% compared with base year. We will continue to promote various action plans to reduce carbon emission and improve the efficiency of energy and resource usage, unswervingly move towards the goal of “Net Zero”, making contributions to environmental sustainability.
Emission Reduction of Electricity Consumption
(category 2)
6,216 tCO₂e was reduced compared to 2010, which is 66% less than 2010 level.
