11.4.1 Sustainable practices targets(2024)
In 2023, MCUT formulated the “Energy Policy,” setting net-zero targets, and expects to achieve carbon neutrality by 2043 and net-zero by 2050. MCUT set up a system for faculty and staff to fill in their commuting distance to and from work to collect the information on each employee’s commuting mode and distance to and from work and transportation means adopted by the employees during business trips and the distance of the business trip, and follow up on the GHG emissions, as the basis for follow-up and assessment on the subsequent sustainability policies. In 2024, employees took a total of 3,410 business trips, and 40% of them did so by car and 36% by public transportation, thus resulting in the GHG emissions totaling 280 metric tons. MCUT aims to increase the proportion of public transportation means and reviews the results of business trips and commutes annually for adjustments on a rolling basis and reduction targets.
