Hanshow has officially joined the Climate Ambition Accelerator (CAA), an initiative launched by the United Nations Global Compact (UNGC). This milestone reflects Hanshow’s unwavering commitment to addressing climate change and driving sustainable innovation across the global retail technology industry.
The Climate Ambition Accelerator is a six-month, action-oriented capacity-building program designed to help companies set science-based emissions reduction targets aligned with the 1.5°C pathway and accelerate progress toward achieving net-zero emissions by 2050. Through its participation, Hanshow focused on setting science-aligned climate targets and developing robust greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions management strategies. The company engaged in intensive learning and knowledge exchange alongside global peers such as Lenovo and Honor, gaining deeper insight into GHG accounting, the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), and the net-zero framework. This program helped Hanshow lay a strong foundation for aligning its decarbonization goals with climate science and advancing at the pace required by the Paris Agreement.
As a UNGC participant, Hanshow fully upholds the organization’s Ten Principles and actively supports the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The company publishes regular ESG reports to transparently disclose its progress and achievements in sustainability and is transforming climate commitments into meaningful actions across its entire business.
Hanshow’s participation in the Climate Ambition Accelerator marks a significant step in aligning corporate growth with global climate goals. By embedding sustainability at the core of its strategy, Hanshow is not only enhancing its environmental performance, but also setting a benchmark for responsible innovation in retail technology. Hanshow remains committed to long-term impact and will continue advancing climate action through global collaboration and continuous improvement.
Key Sustainability Highlights from Hanshow’s Participation in the UNGC Climate Ambition Accelerator:
- Climate-Aligned Targets & Carbon Accounting
Hanshow set robust, science-based emissions reduction goals aligned with the 1.5°C pathway and net-zero by 2050. The company also conducted comprehensive greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions assessments across its full value chain, including Scope 3, in accordance with the GHG Protocol. - Sustainable Product Lifecycle & Circular Economy
To reduce environmental impact across its product lifecycle, Hanshow implemented internationally recognized ISO standards (14040, 14044, 14067) to assess and lower product carbon footprints. The company increased product recyclability to 75%, adopted eco-friendly materials, and secured RoHS and WEEE certifications. - Low-Carbon Operations & Green Logistics
Hanshow advanced its low-carbon operations using renewable energy and automation technologies to improve production efficiency. It also prioritized sustainable logistics by favoring sea freight, enforcing 85% truckload utilization, and establishing overseas pre-deployment warehouses to reduce emissions from transportation. - Workplace Sustainability & Global Engagement
Hanshow embedded sustainability into its workplace culture by promoting energy-saving practices and launching the “Hanshow Green Benefit” program to encourage green living and social responsibility among employees. The company also broadened its global engagement by actively participating in additional UNGC initiatives, including the Target Gender Equality and Young SDG Innovators programs.
Hanshow Advances Comprehensive Carbon Reduction and Sustainability Strategy Across Operations and Product Lifecycle
Hanshow conducts detailed carbon emissions accounting using the Greenhouse Gas Protocol developed by the World Resources Institute (WRI) and the World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD), encompassing Scope 3 emissions across its value chain. In product development, Hanshow applies international standards such as ISO 14040, 14044, and 14067 to calculate full lifecycle carbon footprints, verified by third-party certifiers, enabling targeted emissions reduction from raw material sources through end-of-life recycling.
Hanshow’s logistics strategy favors sea freight and direct routes to reduce emissions, while overseas deployment warehouses and a minimum truckload utilization standard of 85% increase delivery efficiency. Product sustainability is enhanced through circular design principles, extended battery life, and the recycling of electronic shelf labels (ESLs), which are certified under RoHS and WEEE guidelines.
Internally, Hanshow fosters a green office culture by embedding energy conservation and sustainability into its corporate ethos, supported by clear policies and employee education. The “Hanshow Green Benefit” initiative promotes low-carbon lifestyles and public welfare participation across the organization. The company also continues to reduce its environmental impact using renewable energy and automation in production, operating under strict compliance with environmental regulations.
Beyond climate-related efforts, Hanshow actively engages in other UNGC programs to expand its sustainable development capabilities. These initiatives form part of the company’s broader commitment to advancing its EPIIC sustainable development strategy. Looking ahead, Hanshow will continue to deepen its global collaboration, strengthen sustainability performance, and lead the retail technology industry toward a more sustainable and high-quality future.
