Renowned for its production of high-quality long-length screws, Shuenn Chang Fa Enterprise Co., Ltd. (SCF) has been actively addressing a critical issue: CDP-Climate Change. Since 2015, SCF has been assisting customers with their participation in the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) focused on Climate Change. In 2022, SCF initiated Carbon Footprint Verification (CFV) with the support of government-designated tutoring units for both scope 1 and scope 2 emissions and acquired ISO 14064-1 in the end of 2023.

Moreover, from 2019 to 2023, SCF saved 226,379 kWh, reducing emissions by 113.606 Ton·CO2e. Initially generating about 2,300-2,800 Ton·CO2e per year, SCF set a goal to reduce power consumption by 1% annually. This was achieved by transitioning forklifts from diesel to electric, utilizing solar power, and implementing waste recycling. SCF's commitment to ESG principles allowed them to apply for ISO 14064-1, positioning the company as one of the leading ESG factories in Taiwan. They are now working on ESG compliance that aligns with GRI rules.

Throughout its 40-year history since its inception, the company has maintained a steadfast focus on the production of customized design screws, specialized long screws, and automotive screws. The majority of these screws are manufactured in-house and subjected to rigorous inspection at each stage of the production process. SCF has earned certifications including IATF 16949, ISO 14001, and ISO/IEC 17025, attesting to its commitment to quality and environmental standards.

Additionally, SCF provides a comprehensive range of customized screws, with lengths spanning from 10mm to 1000mm, offering customers a one-stop solution to meet their diverse needs.
