Taiwan CTCI Sets New Milestone by Becoming the First Company in Taiwan to Pass Carbon Footprint Verification for Engineering Services
TAIPEI, November 2, 2026- CTCI Corporation announced today that it became the first company in Taiwan to pass ISO 14067:2018 carbon footprint verification for engineering services according to the product category rules (PCR) it pioneered and helped formulate. Verified by the third-party AFNOR, the achievement underscores CTCI’s determination to leverage its core expertise to become a “Guardian of Sustainable Earth.” It also reflects CTCI’s commitment to carbon management and leading the engineering industry towards a more sustainable future. At the ceremony held today, AFNOR General Manager Y. T. Chiang presented CTCI’s verification statement to the CEO of CTCI Group Shared Services T. C. Li.
As the world advances towards net zero goals, carbon footprint has become an important means of measuring and reducing corporate carbon emissions. The engineering services industry in Taiwan needs its own carbon footprint PCR to ensure consistency in calculations and footprint comparability. CTCI pioneered in drafting the PCR for the engineering services, which was thoroughly discussed by industry representatives and stakeholders, before being reviewed and promulgated by the Ministry of Environment in September 2025. The PCR has laid an important foundation for carbon footprint management in the engineering services sector.
According to CTCI, the key consideration in calculating carbon footprint for engineering services lies in establishing a unified calculation standard among diversified engineering categories so that calculations can accurately reflect corporates’ carbon emissions, flag emissions hotspots, and serve as the foundation for carbon management and reduction. Based on engineering services PCR under ISO 14067:2018 and related standards, CTCI systematically calculated the carbon emissions of its Engineering Design Services and Turnkey Services encompassing the entire lifecycle—from material sourcing, service provision, to waste disposal. In developing the PCR for footprint calculation, CTCI chose “per man-hour” as the functional unit so that it eases out the effect of project size and nature, allowing calculations to be consistent, comparable, and reproducible.
Looking ahead, CTCI will continue to enhance carbon footprint management for engineering services, share experience to improve carbon footprint calculation consistency within the industry, and lead the Taiwanese engineering sector towards low-carbon, sustainable goals.
