SAG Is Committed To Sustainability

At SAG, we are proud to contribute to this global effort, and our new building, ‘SAG Opolis’, is a unique combination of manufacturing plant and commercial office, reflecting our commitment to sustainability in both manufacturing and workplace environments.

We are pleased to announce that SAG’s new building, ‘SAG Opolis’, received the LEED silver certification for Building Design and Construction (BD+C) program in October 2025. We are committed to green building regulations and incorporate them at the initial stage of designing SAG Opolis to support green energy and mitigate the impact of climate change.

In the context of growing demand for sustainable development, green buildings have emerged as a prevalent choice for enterprises seeking commercial office spaces. LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) is a globally recognized rating system for sustainable and environmentally friendly building practices, issued by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC). LEED certification promotes healthy, high-efficient, and cost-saving green building standards across three dimensions: environmental, social, and governance.

As the world’s most credible point system, LEED considers factors like water efficiency, energy and atmosphere, indoor environmental quality, and all elements that make green building possible, making it difficult to obtain LEED certification.The goals of LEED certification focus on creating a sustainable future by addressing critical environmental and social challenges, including mitigating climate change, improving human health, and safeguarding natural resources, including water, biodiversity, and ecosystems.

Additionally, it emphasizes sustainable material management and fostering vibrant, resilient communities that prioritize quality of life.These objectives ensure a holistic approach to building design and operations, promoting environmental responsibility and social well-being.

These objectives allow companies to reduce carbon emissions throughout the lifecycle of a building, thereby effectively supporting decarbonization efforts.Since green building focuses on minimizing the carbon footprint associated with constructing, operating, and maintaining buildings, SAG has incorporated green infrastructure and systems, such as solar arrays and ISO 14001 Environmental Management System, into the design and construction of SAG Opolis since 2020. In October 2024, SAG Opolis achieved LEED Silver v4 certification, further solidifying its commitment to sustainability.

SAG Opolis is dedicated to optimizing energy performance to minimize the ecological impact of its operations. Through various energy-saving strategies, we have achieved a 32% reduction in energy consumption. For instance, the lighting control system manages and automates lighting operations within the building, effectively minimizing unnecessary use of luminaires. Furthermore, to minimize heat sources and reduce air conditioning energy consumption, we have centralized heat-generating equipment in a designated area within the facility.

According to SAG’s 2023 sustainability report, we have saved 26.93 kWh per hour and reduced 86.1971 tons of CO2e per year with solar arrays. Additionally, we have adjusted the thresholds of sanitary fittings, reducing total water consumption by over 40% and targeting a reduction of approximately 3,300 tons in 2023.

• Ocean-Recycled Plastic Keyfob: Made from 100% recycled post-consumer plastics (PCR), the ocean-recycled plastic keyfob is certified by the Global Recycled Standard (GRS) and Ocean Bound Plastic (OBP). It maintains high performance and durability with the new material for access control.
• Recycled PVC Card: As an eco-friendly solution made of UL2809-compliant recycled PVC, the Recycled PVC Card gives plastics a second life while minimizing environmental impact. Designed for residential and commercial access control, it meets ISO10373 standards for durability and supports high-quality, customizable printing.
• Wooden Card: Wooden Card combines RFID technology with FSC-certified wood for a sustainable access control solution. Ideal for residential and commercial use, each card features a unique natural texture and aesthetic.Personalize with laser engraving or vibrant-customed printing to showcase your brand and values.

At the UN Summit of the Future in September 2024, it was revealed that none of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are on track to be achieved by 2030, with only 16% of targets progressing. This underscores the pressing need for global collaboration in promoting sustainable development. In alignment with SDG 12 (Responsible Consumption and Production) and SDG 13 (Climate Action), SAG is committed to achieving Net-Zero Emissions by 2050 through strategic investments in clean energy.

Initiatives such as our advanced smart meter system for real-time energy data collection and optimization further support our LEED certification plans. In addition, our strategic goals of promoting ISO 14067 (Product carbon footprint) and ISO 14064-1 (Greenhouse gases) could help SAG contribute to the realization of attaining the LEED Gold certification and a sustainable future.
