CGU SUSTAINABILITY

Our Path to Net Zero

TOWARD A LOW-CARBON AND RESILIENT CAMPUS

Chang Gung University regards its campus as a living environment for sustainability practice and actively responds to the challenges of climate change and the net-zero transition.

Through energy conservation and management, renewable energy development, and low-carbon practices, CGU is steadily building a sustainable campus characterized by resilience, responsibility, and action.

To strengthen its overall implementation framework, the University established the Office of Sustainability in 2022. Through sustainability reporting and cross-unit collaboration, CGU continues to integrate net-zero principles into university governance and campus development.

Our Commitment & Goal

OUR NET-ZERO COMMITMENT
🌏

Our Commitment

We believe that net zero is more than a carbon reduction target; it represents the University's responsibility to the environment, society, and future generations. Chang Gung University continues to integrate net-zero principles into university governance, campus development, and everyday actions, steadily advancing toward campus carbon neutrality by 2050.

🎯

Our Goal

Reducing Scope 2 emissions from purchased electricity is the University's primary course of action. Through phased planning and continuous improvement, CGU is progressing toward campus carbon neutrality by 2050.

Our Action Directions

THREE PATHWAYS TO NET ZERO
⚡

Energy-Efficient Campus

Continuously replacing aging and energy-intensive equipment, optimizing lighting and energy management systems, and improving overall campus energy efficiency.

☀️

Green Energy Transition

Expanding rooftop solar photovoltaic installations to increase the use of renewable energy on campus and reduce dependence on purchased electricity.

🌱

Low-Carbon Living

Promoting green transportation and low-carbon practices in everyday campus management to gradually foster a low-carbon campus culture.
