U-Ming Once Again Earned Two Prestigious Accolades at the TCSA

U-Ming Marine has once again demonstrated its unwavering commitment to corporate sustainability, earning two prestigious accolades at the Taiwan Corporate Sustainability Awards (TCSA): the “Top 100 Taiwanese Companies Sustainability Model Award” and the “Platinum for Corporate Sustainability Report Award.” These achievements highlight U-Ming’s leadership in sustainable development and its dedication to environmental, social, and governance (ESG) principles.

As part of its green transformation strategy, U-Ming has built a high-quality green fleet that reduces carbon emissions by optimizing routes and sailing speeds using real-time meteorological and oceanographic data. The company is also collaborating with suppliers to build liquefied natural gas (LNG) dual-fuel vessels, making it the first shipowner in Taiwan to adopt low-carbon fuel. This initiative underscores U-Ming's efforts to promote a green supply chain.

In response to climate change, U-Ming has revealed its 2050 Net Zero Roadmap, adopting the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) framework to quantify and monetize climate-related risks and opportunities. To enhance transparency, the company publishes TCFD independent reports detailing its climate investment strategies.

U-Ming is also committed to protecting marine biodiversity, integrating whale and dolphin habitat data with GIS technology into its in-house FSM system. Captains are alerted to reduce speed when navigating through marine mammal hotspots, minimizing ecological impact and supporting conservation efforts.

On the social front, U-Ming has conducted human rights due diligence for employees, seafarers, and suppliers, while promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) to foster a harmonious workplace. Through public welfare initiatives and maritime talent development programs, U-Ming actively supports local communities and underprivileged groups.

Technological innovation is another cornerstone of U-Ming’s strategy. The company has advanced its fleet digitization program, earning international recognition and paving the way for a new era of smart shipping. Two vessels have already been equipped with AI sensing systems, significantly enhancing safety by eliminating blind spots and improving nighttime navigation. To safeguard its digital infrastructure, U-Ming has established a Cyber Security Management Committee, building robust defense systems in line with global standards.

Looking ahead, U-Ming Marine will continue to integrate innovation and responsibility into its operations, creating greater value for the environment, society, and governance. The company remains steadfast in its mission to lead Taiwan’s shipping industry toward a greener, smarter, and more sustainable future.
