Hon Hai Technology Group (Foxconn) Launches Global Nature-based Solutions Initiative
31 March 2026, Hanoi, Vietnam and Taipei, Taiwan
– Hon Hai Technology
Group (“Foxconn”) (TWSE:2317) today launched the
"Global Nature-based Solutions Initiative and Transnational Cooperation
Plan", moving forward on long-term sustainability goals of the world's
largest technology manufacturing platform service provider to lead the value
chain from net-zero carbon emissions to nature-positive, and jointly build a
resilient ecosystem.
The initiative, detailed at Foxconn’s first
"Global Nature-based Solutions Summit" held in Hanoi, calls on
customers, partners, and supply chain manufacturers to respond together. The
first phase is jointly promoted with Vietnam’s Quang Ninh Provincial
Government, the Hanoi University of Science (VNU-HUS) and Natures Bank. In the
future, it will further connect local industry, government, and academic
resources in Vietnam.
Foxconn Chief Environmental Officer Ron Horng said:
"The core of this initiative lies in 'mutual benefit.' By breaking down
knowledge silos and lowering the barriers to participation, we help our
partners transform sustainable actions into concrete ecological contributions.
This is not only to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050, but also to establish
unparalleled green competitiveness in the global industrial chain race."
At the summit, Foxconn announced the launch of its
first NbS project, the "Mangrove Restoration and Water Replenishment
Research Project” in Quang Ninh Province, Vietnam. This project leverages AI
technology, combining remote sensing monitoring with scientific replanting
strategies to effectively enhance natural carbon sequestration and maintain
biodiversity, accurately track restoration progress, and strengthen coastal
protection and ecosystem service value.
Quang Ninh Province is home to Ha Long Bay, a UNESCO
World Natural Heritage site renowned for its unique karst topography and rich
biodiversity. Mangroves serve as a crucial ecological barrier protecting this
world-class landscape. Restoring mangroves not only effectively filters
land-based pollutants and maintains the clarity of Ha Long Bay's waters but
also strengthens coastal resilience and protects local communities. Foxconn
hopes this project will serve as a model, encouraging partners to closely integrate
business operations with natural capital preservation to jointly establish a
quantifiable and traceable natural ecological restoration model.
During the summit, Foxconn recognized dozens of key
supply chain partners for their pledge to carry out nature-based solutions. The
Group will also launch a website for the initiative, which will have regular
updates on the progress, data and technology application cases of various NbS
projects, including the Vietnam mangrove project. The aim is to enhance the
transparency and credibility of such projects and keep supply chain partners abreast
of the latest sustainable practices, thereby lowering the barriers to
participation and expanding investment.
Foxconn's new long-term
sustainability goals, include NbS. Together with its value chain partners, the
Group plans to launch at least one environmental and ecological restoration
action annually in its major production regions through 2030, reaching a global
yearly total of 80,000 cumulative volunteer hours. The goals also call for
completing biodiversity dependence and impact assessments in key areas within
the next five years, and incorporating related risks into management.
