YC HOLDINGS INC.

YC Holdings Inc. (YC) is an environmental consulting firm established in 2003 in Taiwan, dedicated to climate change policy and providing carbon market services. YC has been instrumental in assisting the Taiwan Ministry of Environmental Protection in developing effective climate change policies and enhancing the carbon market, while also fostering international cooperation. Currently, YC is coordinating a capacity building project on emissions trading with the German Emissions Trading Authority (DEHSt) and has successfully completed a dialogue facility with the Asia Society Policy Institute (ASPI) focused on carbon market cooperation across the Asian region. Additionally, YC conducted a study on "Carbon Pricing Options for Taiwan," which aligns with ESG principles and supports the journey toward achieving Net Zero emissions.

Moreover, YC has provided consulting services to the Civil Aeronautics Administration regarding the ICAO Carbon Offset and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation (CORSIA). The firm has also collaborated with local governments in New Taipei City, Taichung, and Kaohsiung on various climate change initiatives, low carbon city policies, and GHG reduction measures, which include local regulations for voluntary emissions reduction management and the effective utilization of carbon credits.

In anticipation of the emerging carbon market in Taiwan, the firm has expanded its focus to provide comprehensive carbon market services. This includes consulting for industries like Taiwan Power Company and China Steel on carbon management and emissions reduction projects. Additionally, the firm has developed a carbon risk management platform called ASPNex, designed to help industries effectively manage their carbon assets and risks. This platform has been utilized by various companies to meet their GHG emissions inventory and carbon footprint requirements, while also ensuring compliance with the standards set by the EU Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM).

YC has successfully completed numerous VCS and domestic offset projects, providing vital carbon credits as well as carbon footprint and carbon neutrality services in Taiwan. In 2019, YC became a member of the International Emissions Trading Authority (IETA) and has since contributed valuable insights on climate change policy and carbon market information for IETA, the International Carbon Action Partnership (ICAP), and the World Bank. The firm's commitment to ESG principles and the pursuit of Net Zero initiatives underpins its operations in this evolving landscape.

SUCCESS CASES

ESG Strategy Boosts Metal Leader Revenue by 50%

The Three-Year Roadmap (Implementation Stages)

Year 1: Foundation & Carbon Accounting (ISO 14064-1)

We implemented automated data collection systems to conduct the first organizational greenhouse gas inventory. This established a reliable baseline for the client’s carbon emissions across all operational boundaries, aiding in their journey towards carbon credits and compliance with climate change policy.

Year 2: Product Lifecycle Excellence (ISO 14067)

The focus shifted to the product level. By analyzing the "cradle-to-gate" carbon footprint of core products, we identified high-emission hotspots in the manufacturing process, enabling data-driven decarbonization strategies that enhanced our carbon market services.

Year 3: Transparency & Market Expansion (ESG Reporting)

We synthesized three years of performance data into a professional ESG report aligned with international standards (GRI/SASB/TCFD). This transparency provided the "green passport" needed to pass rigorous audits from global tier-1 brands, facilitating our clients' alignment with their Net Zero goals.
