On December 16, S&P Dow Jones Indices announced the 2024 composition of the Dow Jones Sustainability Indices (DJSI), and Giant Group has been selected for the DJSI Emerging Markets Index. This makes Giant the first bicycle company in the world to be included in the prestigious index, highlighting its outstanding performance in environmental protection, social responsibility, and corporate governance (ESG).

Giant Group ranked in the top 6% of the "Leisure Equipment and Consumer Electronics" sector, excelling in key areas such as climate strategy, product management, and labor practices, far outperforming the industry average. Notably, Giant achieved a 22.48% carbon reduction in its Taiwan and China factories, with a goal of reducing carbon emissions by 25% by 2030.

The DJSI, launched in 1999 by S&P Dow Jones Indices and RobecoSAM, evaluates companies' sustainability efforts in three key areas: environment, social, and governance (ESG). Only the top 10% of companies in each sector are selected for inclusion. Giant's selection demonstrates its leadership in global ESG strategy and execution.

In recent years, Giant has embraced the "Cycling for a Better Future" philosophy, promoting low-carbon living, value recycling, and inclusivity through innovative ESG strategies. The company has also introduced a range of products using sustainable materials, with the marketing slogan "A Trail to Zero," reflecting its commitment to positive transformation and value reshaping. Giant will continue to expand its ESG impact, setting a new standard for sustainability in the global bicycle industry.
