Turning Sustainability into a System: TCFD × TNFD × SGS Verification × RE100

O’right is among the first Asian enterprises to adopt both TCFD (Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures) and TNFD (Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures) frameworks. Its governance system is founded on SGS third-party verification and ISO 14068-1 organizational and product carbon neutrality, transforming sustainability into a framework that is auditable, traceable, and globally credible.

The Net Zero Supply Chain Decarbonization Award recognized O’right’s collective achievement across brand, clients, and supply chain partners, showing how transparent collaboration can drive measurable carbon reduction throughout the entire value chain. 

O’right also achieved its RE100 100 percent renewable energy commitment two years ahead of schedule, turning sustainability from a vision into a verifiable system of global trust.
