Nicely Takes Environmental Responsibility with Organizational Carbon Audit
Media Press 2024-12-10
Nicely has completed the ISO 14064-1 organizational greenhouse gas inventory.
In November 2024, with the professional guidance of the organization of PIDC, Nicely successfully completed the ISO 14064-1 organizational carbon inventory audit. By quantifying greenhouse gas emissions, we gained a deeper understanding of the environmental impact of our operations and developed more concrete strategies for carbon reduction.
Why Did Nicely Proactively Conduct a Carbon Inventory?
In response to the global trend towards net-zero carbon emissions, Nicely is fully aware of its responsibility and obligation in the journey toward carbon reduction. To actively address climate change, we took the initiative to conduct an organizational carbon inventory.
Through a data analysis approach, accurately quantifying greenhouse gas emissions not only helps us track our carbon footprint but also enables us to provide relevant information to customers early, build a low-carbon production system, and prepare for potential future carbon emission regulations.

2023 Greenhouse Gas Emissions of Nicely
In 2023, Nicely’s the total greenhouse gas emissions were 69.1734 metric tons CO2e/year, covering both direct emissions (e.g., fuel combustion) and indirect emissions (e.g., electricity consumption).
Scope 1 - Direct Emissions : These emissions are produced from direct sources within the plant amounted to 15.9706 metric tons CO2e, representing 23.09% of total emissions, including stationary combustion, mobile combustion, production processes, and fugitive sources, such as leaks. Scope 1 covers greenhouse gas emissions from owned or controlled sources, primarily resulting from the burning of fossil fuels in both stationary and mobile sources, as well as from industrial processes and accidental releases. Data collection and statistical analysis were conducted specifically for these direct emission sources within the facility.
Scope 2 - Indirect Emissions from Electricity : These emissions stem from the organization's consumption of purchased electricity amounted to 53.2028 metric tons CO2e, accounting for 76.91% of total emissions, which is generated outside the organization, typically through fossil fuel combustion at power plants. Greenhouse gas emissions related to the production and use of electricity were calculated based on billing records associated with electricity usage.
