Kinpo Group's Hsu Chieh-li: Corporate Sustainability is Not a Cost, but a Key Value that Enhances Competitiveness

Kinpo Group Chairman Hsu Chieh-li attended the '2026 Tainan New Light Zero Summit' today (7th) and stated that companies used to compete on cost, quality, and delivery time, but now need to simultaneously possess capabilities in efficiency, low carbon, governance, resilience, and supply chain collaboration. He pointed out that sustainability is not an additional cost, but a new value added to existing competitiveness, and is the key to the next stage of corporate growth.

Hsu Chieh-li pointed out that the Kinpo Group has been promoting 'new manufacturing' in recent years, not pursuing continuous scale expansion, but integrating the global manufacturing experience accumulated over the years by its subsidiaries, Kinpo Electronics, Taikinpo, and Kangshu, in R&D design, global manufacturing, smart factories, energy efficiency, low-carbon technology, governance, and supply chain management. The company has transformed from a single product supplier to a strategic partner that provides systemized solutions, helping customers enhance industrial competitiveness.

Hsu Chieh-li stated that the Kinpo Group is promoting new manufacturing through four core engines: smart manufacturing, energy efficiency, governance upgrading, and supply chain collaboration. In smart manufacturing, through AI, automation, and data management, waste is reduced, quality and decision-making efficiency are improved. He said, 'The purpose of AI and dark factories is not to replace humans, but to eliminate waste.' In the face of the rapid increase in data center power demand due to AI applications, energy efficiency has also been elevated to an important strategic capability for the company.

In addition, the group's Kangshu continues to develop high-efficiency power, energy conversion, and energy management technologies, helping customers balance AI computing power needs with energy-saving and carbon reduction benefits.

In terms of governance and supply chain, Hsu Chieh-li mentioned that quality, information security, compliance, human rights, risk management, and sustainability disclosure are important foundations for building market trust; supply chain collaboration is an indispensable part of a company's low-carbon transformation. Working with customers, suppliers, and industry partners to improve transparency and resilience to create long-term value.

Hsu Chieh-li shared that the Kinpo Group has already established 26 manufacturing bases across Taiwan, China, Southeast Asia, and the Americas, with an annual green electricity procurement volume exceeding 400 million kWh, reducing carbon emissions by over 20,000 tons of CO2 equivalent each year, demonstrating the concrete results of the new manufacturing transformation.

Finally, Hsu Chieh-li emphasized that the Kinpo Group will continue to use the new manufacturing formula of 'smart manufacturing × energy efficiency × governance upgrading × supply chain collaboration' to work with customers and supply chain partners to build an industrial ecosystem that combines efficiency, low carbon, trust, and resilience, and together define the next stage of global new manufacturing competitiveness.
